Clinical Trial Summary

Phase III randomized controlled trial on men and women with Metabolic syndrome (MetS) to test the hypothesis that comprehensive life-style changes and/or metformin treatment prevent age-related chronic non-communicable diseases (ArCD). The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of a comprehensive life-style intervention (including moderate physical activity and Mediterranean/macrobiotic diet with moderate calorie and protein restriction), and of treatment with Metformin (a calorie restriction mimetic drug) for the prevention of ArCD.


Clinical Trial Description

Phase III randomized controlled trial on men and women with MetS to test the hypothesis that comprehensive life-style changes and/or metformin treatment prevent ArCD.
