Text Messaging to Promote Mobility in Overweight/Obese Adults With Peripheral Artery Disease

By doing this study, researchers hope to learn about the feasibility of using a mobile
application to help overweight or obese adults with PAD increase their walking distance and
lose weight.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) or poor leg circulation affects 8 to 12 million Americans
including non-Hispanic Whites, African Americans and Latinos. Having PAD can limit how far
you can walk. Many patients with PAD are also overweight or obese. Weight loss among
overweight or obese adults with PAD may improve walking distance. Given how common obesity or
being overweight is among persons with PAD, interventions are needed to address weight loss
in this population.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Overweight or obese (body mass index >=27 kg/m2)

- Have symptomatic PAD

- English speaking

- Have 24 hour access to a cell phone

Exclusion Criteria:

- Cannot tolerate fruits and vegetables, fiber, and/or a low fat diet, as informed by a
physician and/or registered dietician

- Restricted intake of water

- Pregnancy

- Prior major amputation (foot or lower leg) or critical leg ischemia (tissue loss,
gangrene, or ulcers)

- Use of supplemental oxygen

- Heart attack within preceding 3 months
