5. Conclusions
Our findings suggest that the presence of patients’ own doctor in the audiovisual content of an online intervention programme aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle did not show significant additional benefits in terms of BMI, levels of physical activity, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, eating behaviour, or motivation towards physical activity among patients with an obesity-hypertension phenotype. However, their presence did improve intrinsic motivation and amotivation related to eating habits. Future studies with multiple doctors per arm and with a larger and more representative sample size should be performed to investigate the short- and long-term impact of the presence of patients’ own doctor in such audiovisual web-based interventions for adults with this phenotype.
