Coaching Intervention to Promote Nutrition and Bone Health in Deployed Soldiers.

摘要

Soldiers are redeploying with significant musculo-skeletal injuries from occupational demands and unhealthy weight from alterations in diet and exercise behaviors. Inadequate consumption of calcium and vitamin D and decreased exercise while deployed can be detrimental to bone health. The purpose of this study was to determine if telehealth coaching is superior to one-time nutrition and fitness education regarding dietary and exercise contributions to bone health assessed before and after a 9-month deployment.
