Impact of a 24-Week Mobile App-Based Human Coaching Program on Body Composition and Lipid Metabolism in Breast Cancer Survivors With Overweight or Obesity: Single-Arm Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Overweight or obesity is a prognostic factor for breast cancer recurrence and breast cancer-related deaths. However, weight control is difficult for breast cancer survivors because of menopause, chemotherapy, antihormonal therapy, and psychological issues.

Objective

This study aimed to develop a 24-week mobile app-based human coaching program using Noom and evaluate its efficacy in breast cancer survivors who are excessively overweight or with obesity, including those who successfully used the program.

Methods

In this single-arm prospective cohort study, 130 breast cancer survivors with BMI ≥25 were enrolled and received a 24-week program, including diet-, exercise-, and psychology-based content with the trained human coach in Noom between 2019 and 2021. Fo
