Self-monitoring, weight, dietary intake, and physical activity before and after hurricane Helene among weight-loss seeking adults in South Carolina
Following Hurricane Helene and widespread power outages, adults with knee replacement participating in a weight-loss intervention were less likely to self-monitor but increased steps per day. There were no significant changes in energy intake or weight post-hurricane. Participation in a multicomponent weight-loss intervention may offer some protection against detrimental effects of hurricane exposure on health behaviors.
