OBJECTIVE: To evaluate adherence of overweight and @entity28 adolescents to a live video lifestyle intervention. The impact on vascular and functional health was also assessed. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty adolescents 14.5      2.1  years of age with body mass index z-score 1.94      0.43 were enrolled. The 12-week intervention included 3-times-weekly videoconference sessions with a trainer and weekly diet consultations. Adherence was evaluated by completion rate and percentage of sessions attended. Vascular health indices and traditional cardiovascular risk factors were obtained at baseline and study end. RESULTS: Seventeen @entity1 (85%) completed the intervention. The @entity1 attended 93      11% of scheduled sessions. Reasons for absences included @entity130 (23%), school activities (21%), holidays (18%), forgetting the appointment (8%), Internet connectivity issues (7%), and family emergency (7%). Significant changes were observed in waist-hip ratio (0.87      0.08 vs 0.84      0.08, P  =  .03), total (159      27 vs 147      23  mg/dL, P  =  .004) and low-density lipoprotein @entity165 levels (91      20 vs 81      18  mg/dL, P  =  .004), volume of inspired @entity26 per heartbeat at peak exercise (69      16 vs 72      15%, P  =  .01), and functional movement score (13      2 vs 17      1, P  <  .001). @entity1 with abnormal vascular function at baseline showed improvement in endothelial function and arterial stiffness indices (P  =  .01 and P  =  .04, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: A 12-week live video intervention promotes adherence among overweight and @entity28 adolescents and shows promise for improving vascular and functional health. Integrating telehealth into preventive care has the potential to improve cardiovascular health in the youth at risk.
