Study Summary
Being obese can be a risk factor for many health problems, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, low back pain, heart attacks and some cancers. Truckers, who are integral to our economy, face challenges that put them at increased likelihood of being obese. The investigators want to come up with a program to help drivers get to a healthy weight and stay there. The WHEEL pilot study is a 12 week weight loss intervention in long-haul commercial truck drivers. The study involves two visits to the University of Utah's Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health, one at the start of the study and a second one at the end of the study. Both visits include a general health history questionnaire, a 24-hour diet recall questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, as well as an assessment of blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, and a cholesterol and lipid panel. Each truck driver is assigned a health coach who helps the driver create and achieve three health goals. The health coach works with the driver to set individualized goals specific to weight loss, and contacts the driver weekly to check in and tweak goals as needed. Drivers are also compensated for their participation in the study and get to keep all of the intervention materials that the investigators give them. All that the researchers ask is that they try their best to have a healthier lifestyle and give us feedback on what they liked and didn't like in the study.
