The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to [learn about, test, compare etc.] in critically ill or injured cohorts of patients presenting to the Emergency Department. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are weight estimates from a 3D camera system more accurate than standard methods of weight estimation? - Do patients who receive weight estimates with a 3D camera system have fewer drug dosing errors than patients receiving standard care? Participants will either receive a weight estimate using a 3D camera system, or standard methods of care. Researchers will compare the 3D camera group to those with standard care to see if the weight estimates are more accurate, to see if drug dosing is more accurate, and to compare the incidence of adverse events related to medications in each group.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effect of time-restricted eating (14-hour fast, 10-hour eating window) of a low-energy dense diet (reduced calories per gram of food) in older adults with obesity and insulin resistance. The study aims to determine if modulating the energy density of the diet reduces: 1. Insulin resistance and 2. Body weight. Researchers will compare the groups: 1. Following time-restricted eating and given a diet reduced in energy density or 2. Following time-restricted eating and given a diet typically consumed in this population
Obesity and cardiometabolic risks are significant public health issues, with about two-thirds of U.S. adults overweight or obese. Weight loss can prevent these health problems, but current lifestyle interventions have limited success. New, effective strategies are needed to address this rising issue at the population level. The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how a behavioral intervention combined with technology impacts weight loss in young adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the combination of behavioral intervention and technology influence weight loss in young adults? - How does the combination of behavioral intervention and technology influence energy intake in young adults?
Obesity stands as a significant health concern of the 21st century. The prevalence of obesity is steadily rising worldwide, and Taiwan is no exception, with nearly four to five out of ten individuals facing issues of overweight or obesity. Additionally, approximately 1.5% of adults suffer from morbid obesity. Presently, lifestyle interventions focusing on body control have shown limited success in maintaining an ideal weight and body composition, and they are predominantly applied within clinical settings for managing morbidly obese patients. In response to the transformations brought about by the 3C era in connecting with the public, an effective online intervention approach holds promising potential but still requires development and validation. This project endeavors to revolve around "cultivating a healthy lifestyle" by creating educational materials on weight reduction. These materials will encompass various aspects such as dietary habits, physical activity, and daily routines, all designed to impart online lifestyle education. To facilitate the intervention, the investigators plan to employ the application "Cofit" developed by the Cofit Healthcare Inc., targeting individuals with weight reduction needs. Furthermore, the investigators aim to collect research data for the analysis of intervention effectiveness. Over a three to six-month intervention period, the research participants will receive multifaceted lifestyle education through the online app. Certified nutritionists, trained under the program, will interact with the participants online, guiding them to make changes in their diet, physical activity, and daily routines. The ultimate goal is to help the participants achieve effective weight reduction and maintain a healthy body weight in the long term.
In this study, at least 400 women with high-risk of pregnancy hypertension will use a wearable device to monitor the blood pressure during gestational age from 12 weeks to 28weeks. The observed outcomes including maternal and offspring. Participants were from three hospital including Shanghai Xinhua Hospital, Jiaxing Maternal and Child Health Hospital and Peking University Third Hospital. Pregnant women were randomly divided into control group (routine delivery examination group) and intervention group (routine delivery examination group + use of wearable blood pressure monitoring device group), 200 cases each.
This trial is conducted in China. The purpose of the 24-week trial is to investigate the efficacy of henagliflozin to induce body weight loss and the purpose of the extension is to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of henagliflozin in obese subjects without diabetes. Trial has the following two periods: 1) A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial for evaluating the efficacy of henagliflozin to induce body weight loss; 2) A 12-week multicenter randomized controlled open-label trial for evaluating the hypoglycemic effect of henagliflozin followed by a 24-week extension period.
This study aims to conduct a feasibility trial to examine the feasibility and acceptability of conducting a randomized controlled trial that evaluates the effect of the weight management intervention on anthropometric measures (body weight and BMI), dietary quality, physical activity levels, physical and psychosocial functioning, self- efficacy for weight loss and quality of life.
The incidence of childhood obesity is increasing, followed by metabolic diseases related to overweight and obesity in children. High intensity interval training (HIIT) has recently been shown to improve the body composition and cardiovascular health of obese children. Currently, there is little evidence on the impact of exercise intensity on endocrine and metabolic indicators and quality of life in obese children. The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of short-term supervised high-intensity interval training and moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) on metabolic indicators in obese children under an energy limited balanced diet. A multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted on 388 obese children in South China. The experimental group will be randomly assigned to (1) HIIT and energy limited balanced diet, and (2) MICT and energy limited balanced diet. The experimental group will participate in a 3-month (supervised) exercise training. The measurement of the study endpoint will be followed up at baseline, 3 months (after supervised intervention), 9 months, and 1 year. The primary endpoint is the percentage of weight loss (△ Wt%). Secondary endpoints include waist to height ratio, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), insulin secretion index (ISI), and Δ HtSDSBA. The results of this study will generate a wealth of information on the impact of exercise intensity on weight loss and endocrine metabolism in obese children, and develop more effective evidence-based exercise prescription guidelines in this population.
In this prospective, non-randomized, monocentric study, data will be collected from otherwise healthy individuals with overweight/obese grade I to increase data availability in the pre-diabetes field (impaired glucose intolerance), and to validate the outputs of an algorithm for the "physics-informed machine learning (PIML)" designed to estimate the real-time risk of prediabetes. Each participant will take part in the study for 4 months, including 3 onsite visits. During the screening visit, participants' eligibility will be determined by checking the inclusion and exclusion criteria after detailed information and obtaining informed consent by the investigator. Blood will be withdrawn for exclusion of existing prediabetes/diabetes at the fasted state. For women in reproductive age, a urinary pregnancy test will be performed. After getting the results of blood tests (glucose and HbA1c), participants will be asked to participate in study. On the visit 1, eligible participants will arrive at the study centre in a fasting state. Blood samples will be collected and participants will get vials and instructions for collection of stool and urine samples. Anthropometric data, lifestyle habit (cigarette, alcohol consumption) and family history will be collected. A 6-minute walking test to determine VO2 max will then be performed. Participants will receive a blinded Abbott Libre Pro glucose sensor, which they will wear for the next 14-days. Further, participants will be provided with a Fitbit Charge 5 health and fitness wristband. For validation purposes some part of study participants will be kindly asked to test newly develop wrist-worn device (EDIBit). With the help of 24-hour food recall, study subjects will be trained by medical staff on how to correctly enter their food intake in the Study app for completion of digital 3-day food diaries. They will be asked to fill in the diaries for 3 days after study visit1 and 3 days before study visit2. They will also receive a food frequency questionnaire during visit1. The second study visit will run nearly identical to study visit1 (except for food frequency questionnaire which will be omitted). During this visit, participants will receive information sheets on physical activity and dietary recommendations. The third and last visit will run nearly identically to the study visit2, except that no new glucose sensor will be inserted and also stool samples will not be collected.
