Filter by:The goal of this study was to find prevalence and correlations of different weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy. This cross- sectional study hypothesize the prevalence of weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in addition to positive correlations between weight abnormalities and number of exercise hours and frequency of meals in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy RESEARCH QUESTION: 1. What is the prevalence of weight abnormalities and and risk of abdominal obesity in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy? 2. Does the weight abnormalities correlates with number of exercise hours or frequency of meals in children with cerebral palsy?
The purpose of the study is To investigate the adding effect of Cryolipolysis to aerobic exercise with low caliorie diet on waist-to-hip ratio , ultrasonography, body mass index and skin fold of subcutaneous fat tissue in abdominal adiposity in obese subjects
Adipose tissue secreting a number of adipokines which regulate insulin sensitivity, energy metabolism and vascular homeostasis, so the dysfunction of adipose tissue is linked with the incidence of obesity accompanied with insulin resistance, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (1). Obesity is known to alters the expression of adipokines due to the adipose tissue hypertrophy (2), including adiponectin, in which able to exert a potent anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effect (2). It has been proposed that adiponectin acts to prevent the vascular dysfunction due to obesity and diabetes by improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic profiles to reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and protects the vasculature through its pleiotropic actions on endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells, smooth muscle cells and macrophages (1). The concentrations of adiponectin of 5 to 25 mg/mL had a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of monocyte adhesion and adhesion molecule induced by TNF-α in vitro. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which adhesion molecules on arterial endothelial cells are responsible for the accumulation of monocytes/macrophages and T lymphocytes. While obesity is low-grade inflammation in which make a contribution on endothelial dysfunction by increasing the oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS) due to adipocyte hypertrophy, leads to an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction (3). Adiponectin is accumulated in the vasculature, and it reduced on obesity due to suppression by TNF-α and lead to adiponectin-deficiency which stimulate the significant increases of Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) or known as CD54 in aortic intima (4). Here we investigate the level of adiponectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 with the incidence of MetS in obese adolescents.
Dose-ranging, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study
In a previous study, 24 volunteers consumed two conventional eggs or two eggs naturally enriched with omega 3, 5 and 7 every day for 3 months. It was shown that these eggs were well tolerated and that the omega enrichment led to a reduction in waist circumference of 3 cm in 3 months. The objective of Omegasnack study was therefore to go further in the evaluation of these effects on waist circumference; 1) confirm the effects of these eggs on waist circumference when included in a snack, 2) determine whether this reduction in waist circumference is linked to a reduction in muscle and/or fat mass (subcutaneous and/or visceral) and 3) evaluate whether these effects are associated with a modification in the accumulation of ectopic fat in the muscle and/or liver.
In this randomized, placebo controlled, double blind trial, effects of relatively high doses of chicken protein hydrolysate (CPH) or casein hydrolysate (placebo) supplementation will be investigate in healthy persons with abdominal obesity. The 12-week study examines potential effects on body weight, abdominal obesity, body composition, plasma parameters of metabolic health including lipids, inflammatory parameters, redox state and microbiota biomarkers.
This is a marketing study intended to provide additional data for marketing purposes for the eon™ FR is FDA 510(k) which has been cleared for non-invasive lipolysis of the abdomen to achieve disruption of adipocyte cells intended for non-invasive aesthetic use to achieve a desired aesthetic effect. This device is intended for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or less.
The implications of obesity, especially visceral fat, in health are well known. It would be desirable to control obesity by safe and effective treatment modalities. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of Auricular Acupuncture (AA) on body weight loss in a Portuguese sample.
Over the last 20 years, metabolic health (blood glucose and fats) of Ugandans, particularly residing in urban areas has increasingly become sub optimal. Women are the most affected. Sub optimal metabolic health increases chances of developing diseases known as non-communicable diseases (NCD); for example, type 2 diabetes and heart diseases. NCD are expensive to treat and Uganda lacks the health system to manage them. Therefore, there is need to prevent NCD. Metabolic health is mainly linked to dietary and physical activity behaviour. Studies show an increase in physical inactivity in urban Uganda, especially among women. Likewise, what urban Ugandans eat deviates from healthy recommendations by World Health Organization. For example, 9 in 10 urban Ugandans do not meet the daily fruit and vegetable health recommendations. Research shows that unhealthy eating and physical inactivity behaviours in urban Uganda are due to socio-cultural conceptions (prestige linked to weight gain and consumption of animal protein) and knowledge/skills gaps. Following the intervention mapping protocol, investigators have therefore designed an intervention to help women living in urban Uganda improve eating and physical activity behaviours to align them to healthy recommendations. Investigators target women because they are the most vulnerable health wise; possibility of passing on NCD risk from the mother to the offspring. Women are as well the most strategic for family behavioural change as they oversee dietary decisions in homes. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a combined food literacy and physical activity intervention in optimizing metabolic health among women of reproductive age living in Urban Uganda. The study is a cluster randomized control trail divided into two phases: a three months intervention and a three months post-intervention follow-up phase. Primary outcome is waist circumference. The target group are women of reproductive age (18 to 45 years), residing in Kampala. Intervention will be delivered through religious women group structures.
This study has two objectives: 1) to check that the daily consumption of two eggs with a particular fatty acid pattern rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (α-linolenic acid, docosahexaenoic acid), conjugated-linoleic acid and conjugated-linolenic acid is well tolerated by the consumer ; 2) to evaluate the effects of the consumption of these eggs on health parameters in subjects presenting a risk of developing a metabolic disorder. This monocentric study is an interventional, randomized, double-blind, control study.
