A meta-analysis of eHealth interventions to promote physical activity in young, middle-aged, and late middle-aged adults with obesity or overweight.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to calculate the effects of recent eHealth interventions to promote physical activity in young, middle-aged, and late middle-aged adults with obesity or overweight. This meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. In the search, 3550 articles were identified, and 15 studies met all inclusion criteria. The effects of recent eHealth interventions depended on the type of outcome variable: (a) intensity-based physical activity (e.g., moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity, average minutes per day from intensity categories, steps per day) or (b) energy expenditure-based physical activity (e.g., metabolic equivalent of task, kilocalories per week). The overall effects of recent eHealth intervent
