Filter by:In our study, there are 33 healthy children with normal weight (control group) and 52 obese children who will be treated with metformin. To observe the efficacy of the 3-month treatment before and after metformin treatment, Zn, Zinc α-2 Glycoprotein (ZAG), Peroxisome proliferation activating receptor γ (PPARγ), Leptin (LEP) and Adiponectin (ADIPO) levels were compared, as well as anthropometric measurements and routine biochemistry tests.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of an educational therapeutic intervention in treating obesity in a pediatric population. It aims to verify the differences between the experimental group (group-based program) and the control group (individual program) in respect to the BMI z-score values between baseline measurement (beginning of treatment), final measurement (end of treatment) and 18 months follow-up.
The aim of this study is to develop, implement, and evaluate a novel intervention to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour among pre-school children, with the ultimate goal of reducing obesity among this age group. This study will provide evidence-based recommendations for reducing the prevalence of obesity among preschool-aged children, and the suggestions will help improve the physical activity intervention programme in preschoolers.
Phthalate esters have been considered closely related with childhood obesity, but the existing studies revealed inconsistent results. This study was desigened to investigate the association between phthalate esters and childhood obesity in China.
The web-based continuity of care intervention model to provide comprehensive nursing interventions for obese children with NAFLD, always tracking their performance status, enabling them to grasp the knowledge of healthy weight loss, develop good lifestyle habits, and reduce their weight, thus reducing the incidence of NAFLD in children.
The South Texas Early Prevention Study-Prekindergarten (STEPS-PreK4) was a cluster randomized trial (CRT) of preschool children 4 years of age to test the effect of the Bienestar/NEEMA Coordinated School Health Program (BN CSHP) on childhood obesity prevalence prevention.
This study extends follow up on of Native American (NA) mothers and their children (now age 3-5 years) enrolled in the 1:1 randomized controlled trial of the Family Spirit Nurture (FSN) intervention designed to prevent early childhood obesity (PECO 1). The investigators will examine whether positive FSN impacts on sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and healthy growth in the first year of life were sustained. The investigators will also examine the effects of the emergency COVID-19 water solutions on water insecurity, early childhood SSB consumption, and growth, and explore how COVID-19 affected child feeding patterns and weight status either through changes in maternal mental health or household food access.
This study was a randomized, double-blind controlled protocol in children overweight aged 6-11 years. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of consuming fermented milk products containing Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (LcS), as a probiotic enriched with prebiotic fructans from A. salmiana or inulin-like standard commercial prebiotic to improve the gut microbiota modulation. After providing detailed information, written informed consent was obtained from parents and written and oral assent from participants before the initial test day. Children were eligible for inclusion in the trial if they were overweight according to the World Health Organization (≥85th body mass index (BMI) percentile for overweight). The trial took place in three full-time elementary schools in San Luis Potosí, México, and the screening of the prospective participants took place up to 1 week prior to the randomization. Children were evaluated over a 6-week intervention period receiving different fermented milk products
This is a randomized, controlled pilot trial of Behavioral Family Systems Therapy for Teens with Type 2 Diabetes (BFST-DM2), an individual psychological intervention tailored to meet the needs of teens with type 2 diabetes. It is hypothesized that this behavioral family intervention will be feasible to implement with teens with type 2 diabetes and will have positive effects on treatment adherence, health outcomes like weight status and metabolic control, and psychological outcomes.
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the effectiveness of an expanded virtual educational program at modifying knowledge, self-efficacy, and behaviors when compared to traditional in-office counseling for guardians of children who are obese or overweight.
