Objective: Examine the efficacy of a 60 day autophagy-activating multiple health behavior
change (MHBC) intervention that targets exercise, diet, sleep, and skincare on women’s health
outcomes.
Design: Using a single-arm intervention, 34 women (age range=30-55 years) completed both
subjective self-report assessments (i.e., health-related quality of life, sleep quality, body satisfaction, and skin satisfaction) and objective assessments of body composition (i.e., BOD POD),
blood pressure, heart rate, and skin health (i.e., dermatologist skin ratings) at day 0, day 30,
and day 60.
Results: We found significant improvements from day 0 to day 30 to day 60 for the objective assessments of body composition (F=23.48, p<.001) and wrinkles (F=57.72, p<.001); and
the subjective assessments of body satisfaction (F=23.03, p<.001), skin satisfaction (F=20.29,
p<.001), and overall health-related quality of life (HRQOL) (F=5.27, p<.01). We found significant improvements from day 0 to day 60 for the subjective assessment of sleep quality (F=5.90,
p<.007) and the objective assessments of heart rate (F=3.70, p=0.04) and systolic blood pressure (F=2.41, p<0.01).
Conclusion: A sixty day MHBC intervention improved women’s targeted health outcomes of
body satisfaction, skin satisfaction, sleep quality, aspects of health-related quality of life, heart
rate, systolic blood pressure, and body composition. A randomized controlled trial with longterm follow-up in a variety of populations is needed to further determine the efficacy of this
MHBC intervention.
