Filter by:"6-10-14 for Health" is an integrated weight-loss intervention programme for obese children from Gdansk municipality. Both participants of the programme and their family members are offered a 12-month integrated intervention, including medical, dietetic and psychological counselling, as well as educational workshops for parents.
The participants will visit the laboratory on 3 occasions, once for a preliminary visit and a further two occasions to complete experimental trials in a randomised order. The experimental trials will consist of cycling under two conditions; HIIE-First followed by Continuous (Trial-A) or Continuous-First followed by HIIE (Trial-B). Participants will be asked to standardise their diet for 24-hours and complete an overnight fast prior to visiting the laboratory. Participants will then complete 60-min of cycling split throughout the day into two 30-min bouts, HIIE or continuous cycling before breakfast followed by a 3.5 hour rest period before completing their remaining 30-min HIIE or Continuous cycling before lunch. Each experimental trail will last approximately 8 hours and begin at 08:00am. Throughout the trial measurements of subjective feelings of appetite, gastric emptying rate, substrate utilisation and regular blood samples will be taken. Post-trial nutritional and well-being questionnaires will be collected at 24-h post. Study hypothesis 1. The order in which continuous and HIIE is undertaken will result in differences in gastric emptying rate after ingesting a semi-sold lunch? 2. Depending on which mode of exercise is undertaken first will result in different gastrointestinal hormone responses, metabolic responses and appetite responses throughout the trial day? 3. Will the order in which different modes of exercise, undertaken within the same day effect nutritional intake and well-being 24-h after both exercise bout have been completed? 4. Is substrate oxidation effected by the order in which multiple exercise bout of different modes are undertaken within the same day.
Subjects treated with Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin obtained improvement on blood pressure values, body weight and cardiovascular mortality but pathophysiological explanations of these effects are not yet known.
To assess the effect of wearing a custom-fitted, FDA-registered, Class I device, compression garment (Obesinov, S.A.R.L.) by an individual with a BMI ≥ 35 on his/her day-to-day quality of life over a period of one year. Various measures of quality of life will be taken, including assessing an individual's level of pain, mood, self-stigma and comfort with the use of a compression garment. Additionally, to assess the impact of the compression garment on activity, strength, posture and movement of an individual with a BMI ≥35 over the period of one year.
The investigators will study the influence of initial fat cell size/number and adipose function (in particular lipolysis) on weight development over very long time periods (years). By comparing investigations of fat biopsies or blood samples obtained at baseline, the investigators will determine the association between adipose morphology/function and changes in weight or development of metabolic complications (e.g. metabolic syndrome, glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension).
This study will take advantage of the open source framework of ResearchKit developed by Apple to bring research directly to participants. Using the ResearchKit platform as well as a stand alone app available for Android and HTML, it makes it easier to enroll large numbers of participants and carry out real-world health research to answer questions important to a broad population.
This is a prospective, 24-month, longitudinal study of patients planning to undergo bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass or Sleeve Gastrectomy) in which we aim to identify correlates and predictors of observed weight loss trajectories following bariatric surgery. This approach will expand current knowledge by examining the combined impact of empirically supported behavioral and biological data in a large sample over time. Intensive measurement of problematic eating behaviors, mood, and compliance with diet and exercise regimens post-surgery will be analyzed in the context of lterations in parallel with, or in response to, changes observed in the gut microbiota. Identifying these post-surgical predictors of weight loss and comorbidity resolution will allow for the development of individualized interventions to optimize surgery-related outcomes.
This study evaluates the effects of dietary fatty acid composition from high fat meals on markers of hunger, satiety and metabolism.
Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. From 1980 to 2008, the prevalence of obesity among adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, increased from 5.0% to 18.1%.1 Although several pediatric weight management programs are available, access to these programs may not always be possible. The proposed study will be an ongoing research program with approximately 40 children ages 12-18 years enrolled into the study over a year. All study participants will participate in a baseline evaluation which will include body composition measures, aerobic testing, as well as nutrition and physical activity questionnaires. Study participants will be assigned to the clinic-based group. The clinic- based group will participate in a 12-week multi-disciplinary weight management program. All study participants will then participate in a 12-week follow-up evaluation similar to the baseline visit. New participants will be enrolled every 12 weeks. Every 12 weeks, active participants (those that have completed a minimum of 12 weeks) will have the option to continue in the program or, discontinue their active participation in the program and enroll into the maintenance phase which will consist of measures only every 12 weeks. The objective of the proposed study includes examining the efficacy of the clinic-based, multi-disciplinary, pediatric weight management program.
This study will assess the effect of high protein (HP) and high carbohydrate (HC) diets on weight loss and other metabolic parameters. Rationale: The prevalence of obesity is on the rise in the US. The health hazards of obesity have been well established. The detrimental effects of obesity on cardiovascular, metabolic and psychological parameters as well as the excess cost to the national health budget are astounding. One way of treatment and prevention of obesity has been the use of diet and exercise. In the absence of well-established superiority of one diet over another, different scientifically unproven diets are in common use. A palatable diet providing satiety as well as all essential nutrients may go a long way in treating over-weight individuals. Another factor has been the long-term adherence to such weight loss regimens, which in general have been poor. Protein diets have been known to provide greater satiety and reduced energy intake than carbohydrate diets, but definite long-term studies are sparse. For this study the investigators will recruit and study 24 normal, pre-menopausal obese women (12 on HP diet and 12 on HC diet), and compare their weight loss and changes in metabolic parameters between the two diets.
