| Research Abstract |
We developed a one-year web-based weight-loss program to assess dietary intake and physical activity in male employees, and tested its efficacy with a randomized controlled trial (RCT). A total of 85 men were randomly assigned either to intervention (n=43) or to control (n=42) groups .There were no significant differences between the groups in weight or waist circumference at the baseline examination. After one year, although the intervention group lost more weight and waist circumference than the control one, no significant differences were seen between both groups in the mean value of weight or waist circumference.
