LIMIT Early Adiposity Rebound in Children

LIMIT
Start date: December 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Childhood obesity is a strong predictor of adult obesity with health and economic consequences for the individual and society. Adiposity rebound (AR) is a rise in the Body Mass Index occurring between 3-7 years. Early adiposity rebound (EAR) occurs at a median age of 2 years and is a risk factor for later obesity. Events happening in "the first 1,000 days" play a role in obesity development. One of the key elements in this crucial time window is the gut microbiome, a highly dynamic organ that is sensitive to environmental exposure being linked to obesity development. Prenatal (dietary/lifestyle maternal factors and environmental exposure) and postnatal determinants (the type of feeding, sleep patterns, speed of growth) and environmental obesogenic pollutants may influence the infant microbial colonization, thus increasing the risk of EAR onset. LIMIT will holistically identify the longitudinal interplay between the intestinal microbiome and infant/maternal nutritional and lifestyle habits, environmental factors exposure and anthropometric measurements, in children with AR vs EAR, driving new mechanistic insights to create an EAR predictive model. The study will evaluate a group of 150 mother-infant pairs, during the first four years of life at different follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT04917601 Recruiting - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

A Multicenter Study for Evaluating a Digital Support System in Childhood Obesity Treatment

EurEvira
Start date: May 24, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Evira is a digital support system newly developed for treatment of childhood obesity. Through daily weighings at home using a special scale together with a message function in the Evira application, enabling fast and easy communication with the clinic, parents and the clinicians can easily follow the child's weight development. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of adding Evira to the already locally used life-style treatment of childhood obesity.

NCT ID: NCT04915092 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the Efficacy of an App for Parents to Promote Healthy Life-styles in Children: the CoSIE Trial

CoSIE
Start date: June 14, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the app in terms of changing lifestyles both related to nutrition and physical activity. The study is also aimed at evaluating the usability and the degree of acceptance of the app among parents. The primary objective will be assessed in terms of the change in the consumption of sugary drinks and high-calorie food and in terms of time spent in front of a screen. The secondary objectives are the evaluation of BMI (percentile and z-score) and waist circumference and the evaluation of the usability of the app. STUDY DESIGN The study is a randomized control trial. Both parents and children are recruited. - Family paediatricians during the health balance of 3 or 5 years old (children between 3 and 6.5 years old) - Sport medicine during the visits for sport ability (children between 7 and 11 years old) - Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology of the Santa Maria Hospital during routine visits (children between 5 and 11 years old) When the study is presented to families, few clinical information are collected on the electronic platform designed for enrollment and randomization: - Child weight and height - Child waist circumference More information about children and parents are collected (through questionnaire). The families (both treatment and control ) are contacted after 12 month and after 24 months from the recruitment to answer to a questionnaire on lifestyle habits (food and physical activity) of the child and app utilization During this visit also child weight, height and waist circumference will be collected. Intervention group The app is explained and installed during the recruitment to the family in the intervention group. Some families in this group will be selected to take part to the qualitative research. Control group Every months during the first year of study a newsletter is sent only to the members of the control group.

NCT ID: NCT04905966 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Effect of a Physical Activity and Nutrition Education Intervention on Obesity Prevalence in Schoolchildren

Start date: June 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Childhood obesity is a major global public health problem. Several strategies have been implemented to reduce the high prevalence, the most cost-effective of which were those that focused on the school environment. Although there is vast research that focus on interventions that address obesity through interventions to improve schoolchildren diets and physical activity level in many countries of the Latin American region, there is lack of evidence of the effectiveness of multicomponent interventions that aim to reduce the prevalence of obesity among schoolchildren in the Paraguayan context.

NCT ID: NCT04902677 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Parental Perception of Child's Weight and Childhood Obesity

PERCEPS
Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The increasing prevalence of metabolic diseases requires new strategies in the treatment and prevention of obesity. Children exposed to a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle are especially vulnerable and may therefore be at risk of obesity at a very early stage in their lives. Recent studies have indicated a notable misperception of children's weight by parents. The main objective of this project is to study the association between parental perception of child's body weight and 1) feeding practices (permissive, restrictive or model); and 2) child's degree of overweight.

NCT ID: NCT04845568 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Testing Digital Technologies to Help Families Build Healthy Habits

Start date: April 17, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The current study is a randomized pilot trial to test the feasibility of a psychoeducational virtual reality experience to increase motivation for behavior change among children with overweight or obesity.

NCT ID: NCT04829162 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Weight Stigma by Association in Parent-Child Dyads

Start date: February 21, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Parents of children with obesity report feeling blamed for their children's weight and reluctant to seek pediatric care after stigmatizing experiences. This "weight stigma by association" may have direct consequences for parents, children, and the parent-child relationship. The present study builds on qualitative evidence to experimentally test weight stigma and weight stigma by association in a parent-child relationship using a large, community-based sample. In an experiment conducted via an online survey, participants were randomly assigned to view a picture of a parent-child dyad, for which parent and child's gender (male vs. female) and weight status (with obesity vs. without obesity) were manipulated. Participants read identical general parenting descriptions that adhered to American Academy of Pediatrics parenting recommendations, then rated the parent's effectiveness, helpfulness, and caring.
