It is useful to know the efficacy of mobile apps in treating abdominal obesity, as it is a known risk factor for metabolic disorders and type 2 diabetes. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This study aimed to determine whether a mobile self-management app (DialBeticsLite) could be used by patients with abdominal obesity to achieve a reduction in visceral fat area (VFA) and other physical parameters. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> This study was an open-label, 2-arm parallel-design randomized controlled trial. We recruited 122 people in September 2017, and randomly assigned them into either the intervention group or the control group. All participants attended an educational group session, which delivered information regarding diet and exercise. Additionally, participants in the intervention group were asked to use DialBeticsLite for 3 months. DialBeticsLite facilitated the daily recording of several physical parameters and lifestyle behavior, and provided feedback to encourage an improvement in behavior. The primary outcome was the change in VFA from baseline to the 3-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes included changes in both physical and metabolic parameters, from baseline to the 3-month follow-up. Welch t test was conducted to analyze the effects of DialBeticsLite on both the primary outcome and the secondary outcomes. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> Out of the 122 participants recruited, 75 participants were analyzed due to 47 participants being excluded: 37 due to ineligibility and 10 due to withdrawal of consent. The mean age was 49.3 (standard deviation: SD 6.1) in the intervention group (n=41) and 48.5 (SD 5.3) in the control group (n=34), and all participants were male, though unintentionally. Baseline characteristics did not differ significantly between the intervention and control group, except for VFA. The averaged change of VFA was -23.5cm2 (SD 20.6) in the intervention group and +1.9cm2 (SD 16.2) in the control group (P<.001). Statistically significant differences were also found for the change of body weight, BMI and waist circumference. These findings did not change after adjusting for VFA at baseline. The intervention had no significant effect on any of the metabolic parameters. An exploratory analysis showed significant associations between the change in VFA and steps per day, and between the change in VFA and calorie intake per day within the intervention group. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> Our findings indicate that although unsuccessful in improving metabolic parameters, a mobile health intervention facilitating the daily monitoring of several physical parameters and lifestyle behavior, can be highly effective in inducing visceral fat loss and weight loss among adults with abdominal obesity. </sec> <sec> <title>CLINICALTRIAL</title> Trial Registration: University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) UMIN000042045 Retrospectively Registered; https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr.cgi?function=brows&action=brows&recptno=R000046495&type=summary&llanguag=J </sec>" @default.
