Do you have goals to lose weight and move more easily? If so, you may want to join others, ages 60-75, in a study aimed to improve health, function and lifestyle.
MOVE UP is a 32-session (about one year) behavioral weight loss intervention program. It focuses on the “10 Keys”™ to Healthy Aging, healthy eating, physical activity and behavior modification techniques. The purpose is to help study participants improve their overall health, physical functioning and fitness, with an additional focus on weight loss.
MOVE UP is currently looking for participants for a program to be held at the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh (downtown). There are also other opportunities to join MOVE UP programs throughout Allegheny County.
Call research staff at Pitt today to see if you are eligible. The phone number is 412-383-1303. You can also e-mail Jennifer Jones, MPH, at jrj25@pitt.edu.
