Impact of Illness Perception in Overweight and Obesity on Bio-Functional Age and Eating/Movement Behavior-A Follow-Up Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Despite the widespread prevalence of obesity and its potential adverse impacts on health, the majority of interventions aimed at weight loss stay ineffective. This study aimed to assess illness perception in people with overweight/obesity and its impact on bio-functional age (BFA) and cognitive patterns governing eating and movement behavior. Methods: A total of 40 subjects from the original overweight/obesity subcohort of the Bern Cohort Study 2014 (BeCS14) were included and assessed for a follow-up from 2019-11-29 to 2020-07-14. The subjects completed a validated "bio-functional status" test battery with calculation of BFA, as well as validated questionnaires for eating and movement behavior and illness perception. Results: Participants were overall bio-functionally younger than their chronological age (mean 4.3 ± 6.9 year equivalents) but aging was more pronounced than anticipated. Mental occupation with illness cause was moderate to high with psychosocial (PS) factors being more pronounced than naturalistic (NT) factors. There was a shift from defined theory with focus clearly on PS theories to diffuse theory with consideration of both PS and NT theories. Participants with good sense of coherence (SOC) were less likely to be mentally preoccupied with illness cause ( Conclusions: Illness perception does affect cognitive patterns and integrating it into therapeutic management for people with obesity can enhance outcomes. Strengthening of SOC is important to decrease PS stress and achieve better subjective health, less mental preoccupation, and less dysfunctional eating behavior.
