NCT ID: NCT06126679 Active, not recruiting - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Hyvinkää Childhood Obesity Study (HCOS), Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial for Effectiveness and Costs of a 1-year Lifestyle Intervention.

HCOS
Start date: January 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of lifestyle intervention on the management of childhood overweight and to explore the factors that contribute to the outcome, as well as the costs for the health care system. The hypotheses of the study are that lifestyle intervention is efficient in reducing BMI-SDS and thus effective in preventing overweight to progress to obesity, and it is also cost effective. The research is necessary for the development of overweight treatment, and try to find out the optimal duration and intensity for the treatment and content useful for clinical work.

NCT ID: NCT05966051 Active, not recruiting - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

MuLtidimensional School-based and Family interVentions to Promote hEalthy and Sustainable LifestYle for the Childhood

LIVELY
Start date: October 18, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Childhood obesity condition has increased 10 times in the last 40 years, representing one of the most important public health challenges of our century. The overweight and obesity in children are conditions associated with several determinants, mostly related to dietary habits, physical activity, and environmental behavior. To counteract childhood obesity, several prevention programs have been promoted, however evidence concerning their efficacy was contrasting, especially among the younger population and in the long term. Moreover, due to the wide variety of interventions administered it is not clear which specific strategy (or combinations of strategies) was the most effective. The LIVELY study aims 1) to assess the prevalence and the factors associated to childhood overweight and obesity; 2) to develop multidimensional strategies for prevention of childhood obesity by involving families and recognizing the role of schools as an environment for raising awareness on healthy and sustainable dietary patterns and lifestyle.

NCT ID: NCT05790174 Active, not recruiting - Weight Loss Clinical Trials

Weight-loss Treatment Program in Children and Adolescents

Start date: January 1, 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study will evaluate the effect of an existing hospital-based obesity treatment in children and adolescents in relation to weight loss and motivation. This is to ensure that children who have developed obesity have the possibility to obtain a healthier lifestyle, including a healthier body weight during their school years. This study will test whether an obesity treatment program designed for school children can reduce the degree of overweight in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity.

NCT ID: NCT05482165 Active, not recruiting - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Optimizing Intervention Effects in Children and Adolescents

Start date: September 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Childhood obesity is a significant public health concern worldwide. In China, childhood obesity has dramatically increased as the economy has grown quickly over the past decades. Effective strategies to reduce childhood obesity prevalence may help to prevent related chronic diseases in the whole population in the long term. This study aimed (1)to assess the effectiveness of the intervention compared with the usual practice in preventing childhood overweight and obesity; (2) to determine the sustainability of the intervention in preventing overweight and obesity; and (3) to evaluate the process and health economics of the intervention. The project will be carried out in six primary schools in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province , those schools are randomly divided into two groups: the intervention group and the usual practice group. The participants of the study were students in the third grade of primary school, and the intervention will last for one academic year. This intervention programme will target the influencing factors of childhood obesity at both individual (student-focused activities) and environmental levels (a supportive family and school environment), with the intent to influence the knowledge, attitude and behaviours of school children.

NCT ID: NCT04522921 Active, not recruiting - Diabetes Clinical Trials

Childhood Obesity - Prevention of Diabetes Through Changed Eating Patterns

Start date: October 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main purpose of the present study is to perform a 10 weeks dietary intervention study with a follow-up for 52 weeks in children from 7-14 years of age with overweight or obesity. In a caloric restricted and increased physical activity setting the control group will consume a low-moderate protein (15E%/day) diet whereas the intervention group will consume a higher protein (25E%/day) diet. Furthermore, the investigators want to investigate the effect of frequent follow-up after intervention. Compared to the low-moderate protein diet, the investigators hypothesis that a diet with higher consumption of protein-containing foods will more effectively induce weight loss (a reduction in BMI-SDS) or weight maintenance in children with overweight or obesity, and improve risk factors for type 2 diabetes and Quality of Life.

NCT ID: NCT04520490 Active, not recruiting - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Brain Activation and Satiety in Children 2

BASIC2
Start date: January 28, 2021
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Childhood obesity and related long-term effects are serious public health problems, but not all children with obesity do well in treatment. This study will test a new combination of family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) with a drug intervention using a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) exenatide once weekly extended-release (ExQW, Bydureon®) in order to improve obesity intervention outcomes in 10-12-year-old children.

NCT ID: NCT04056377 Active, not recruiting - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Exercise, Arterial Modulation and Nutrition in Youth South Africa Study

ExAMIN-Youth
Start date: September 12, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The ExAMIN Youth SA study aims to generate new knowledge on the pathophysiology involved in early vascular aging among South African children and to identify early novel biological markers for predicting the subclinical development of hypertension and target organ damage related to cardiovascular disease. This study further implements state-of-the-art biochemical technology to measure a variety of biological markers including multiplex analyses and metabolomics. With the increasing prevalence of childhood hypertension and obesity, this study will be able to address especially behavioural contributors to hypertension development and to subsequently provide a backdrop for school-based primary prevention interventions.

NCT ID: NCT03925012 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

BOUNCE to Health: A Healthy Lifestyle Program

BOUNCE
Start date: June 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary purpose of the BOUNCE study is to assess the effectiveness of a four-week family-based healthy lifestyle summer program in reducing adiposity indicators in Hispanic and African American girls and boys (ages 9-14 years old).

NCT ID: NCT03885115 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

NCT ID: NCT03843424 Active, not recruiting - Overweight Clinical Trials

Treatment Efforts Addressing Child Weight Management by Unifying Patients, Parents & Providers

TEAM UP
Start date: September 12, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that providers screen children aged 6 years and older for obesity and offer or refer them to a comprehensive behavioral intervention (≥26 hours over a period of up to 12 months) to promote improvement in weight status. Family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) is an effective treatment that targets both child and parents and meets the USPSTF recommendations. By contrast, the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends a staged approach to childhood obesity screening and counseling, which begins with prevention counseling by the primary care provider (PCP) and includes assessment of weight status, patient/family motivation and readiness to change, promotion of healthy eating and activity habits, and use of health behavior change strategies. Our study compares a staged approach enhanced standard of care (eSOC) vs. eSOC + FBT, to provide families and PCPs with information on the best intervention approach for the behavioral treatment of childhood obesity. Our project seeks to fill the gap in the evidence on family-based weight management in primary care settings among diverse and underserved populations with a special focus on Black children, families insured by Medicaid, and sex differences.
