Filter by:The major aim of the proposed study is to develop a gender-sensitive individually tailored add-on intervention that focusses on improving individual gender-specific SIRs (subjective illness representations) in obese or overweight individuals. We will investigate whether this will improve compliance with and long-term success of common weight loss interventions. The effectiveness of this intervention in every-day-life with regard to weight-related behavioral changes and weight loss will be evaluated within a randomized controlled setting.To enhance the applicability of the intervention in every-day-life and its dissemination we plan to develop a smart-phone-based intervention.
This trial aims to investigate whether tailored lifestyle consultation through SNP testing leads to more effective weight loss among overweight or obese individuals compared to general lifestyle guidance for weight control.
This study determined effects of a cognitive distraction on amount, preference, and memory of food consumed and perceptions of fullness, hunger, and enjoyment of food in a healthy young-adult population. A randomized controlled crossover study of 119 healthy adults, assigned to begin in either the distracted or control condition, was conducted.
The proposed randomized controlled trial will evaluate an educational self-management intervention in 450 African American women and weight management. It will be the first to use a culturally tailored in-person and telephone approach to address all aspects of wellness and social determinants for African American women to achieve optimal long term wellness for both self and family.
The investigators aim to establish a protocol for metabolic rate measurements obtained using continuous monitoring of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in a whole room calorimeter setting.
Many adults with obesity continue to gain weight even though they do not want to. This project will test the effects of a primary care intervention in which people with obesity receive an electronic scale and recommendations to weigh themselves daily. This will help us understand whether daily self-weighing might be a way to prevent continued weight gain.
While Food reward is an important component of the appetite control to consider, there is actually no tool that has been developed in French to perform its evaluation. The Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire (LFPQ) is a validated and recognized tool to assess food reward, being however developed for British populations. The aim of this work is to validate a French version of the LFPQ among lean and obese adults.
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of introducing behavioral elements in a weight loss program, in this case, comparing the difference between self-weighing versus not doing so.
The study will test the effectiveness of a smartphone-based behavior modification program adapted for use in Women, Infants, and Children program in a state-wide, randomized controlled trial in 432 low-income women enrolled in the Louisiana Women, Infants, and Children program.
This study aims to assess whether the acceptable image quality is achievable using low monoenergetic imaging of dual-energy CT with deep learning-based denoising, and low contrast media dose calculated based on lean body weight for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.
