• Systematic review of reviews of intervention components associated with increased effectiveness in dietary and physical activity interventions (2011, background): “Four analyses in four reviews[33,41,42,48] provided mixed associative evidence (two medium (one positive, one negative), two low quality analyses (one positive, one negative)) as to whether targeting more overweight people was associated with larger increases in the amount of weight loss achieved.”
• The health benefits of urban green spaces: a review of the evidence. (2011, background): “8 Studies of park use also note that ethnic minorities and people with disabilities were less likely to use green spaces.”
• Using pedometers to increase physical activity and improve health: a systematic review. (2007, result): “Nine studies had 100% of participants complete the intervention, and the average dropout rate among the other studies was 20%—a rate that is somewhat higher than the 4% to16% dropout rate reported by other physical activity interventions.(40) Sixteen studies used the Yamax pedometer (Yamax Corp, Tok”
