Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a physician-supervised non-surgical medical weight management program on prevalence of metabolic syndrome and to examine the relationship between program retention and levels of key indicators of metabolic syndrome among participants that self-enrolled to the program. A total of 479 overweight or obese participants aged 19 years or older were observed. The revised National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria were used to define metabolic syndrome.


Clinical Trial Description

Each individual self-enrolled to a physician-supervised non-surgical weight management program, hereafter referred to as the Program. They received a weight loss intervention as a part of routine medical care in the Program. At the end of their first consultation, each individual that met the inclusion criteria and failed to meet the exclusion criteria was asked if he or she would like to join the study. Each individual was informed that the study would not change the type or level of care that he or she would receive while enrolled to the program; however, researchers would be studying the effects of their care through additional screenings. Individuals who thereafter signed an informed consent form were monitored for changes in health outcomes without change to the Program.

This study was observational. Health outcomes were assessed in individuals that predefined their program status (i.e., enrolled or not enrolled). Each participant received routine medical care, and the investigators studied the effects of the intervention. No new intervention or intervention specific to participants only was assigned. ;
