Brief Summary:
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.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Overweight and Obesity Behavioral: PACE Behavioral: Diet Other: App Other: Face-to-face Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
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.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Walking distance [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Month 3 ]
    Change in walking distance as measured by the 6 minute walk test.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Weight loss [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Month 3 ]
    Change in weight

  2. Quality of life (QoL) [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Month 3 ]
    Change in QoL as measured by the VascQOL.

  3. Physical activity [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Month 3 ]
    Physical activity to be measured using the Exercise Behaviors Questionnaire.

  4. Dietary habits [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    Dietary habits tracked using the Diet History Questionnaire.
