Objective To examine the effect of behavioral intervention based on health belief model on weight reduction among female college students.Methods Totally 120 cases of overweight and obese female college students were enrolled and randomly assigned into intervention group (n=61) and control group (n=52).Concentrated exercise of 8 weeks was implemented in both groups.Intervention group received additional education intervention based on health belief model.Weight loss confidence,health behaviors,weight and waist circumference between the two groups were compared before intervention,8 weeks and 1 year after the intervention.Results Except for diet,there were no significant differences on weight loss confidence (before:x2 =2.32;8 weeks later:x2 =2.04),health behaviors (before:eating habits,t =0.56,health-related fitness,t =0.54;8weeks later:eating habits,t=2.58,P＜0.05,health-related fitness,t=1.43),BMI (before:t=0.83;8 weeks later:t=1.85) and waist circumference (before:t=0.43;8 weeks later:t=0.46) between the two groups,before the intervention and at the end of 8 weeks (P＞0.05).One year after intervention,there were significant differences on weight loss confidence (x2 =35.6),health behaviors (eating habits:t =9.03;health-related fitness:t =10.09),BMI(t--3.25) and waist circumference(t =3.87) between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Combined with concentrated exercise,health belief model is an effective health education model for weight reduction among female college students.
