View clinical trials related to Obesity Prevention.
Filter by:The objective of this project was to evaluate a population-based, computerized tailored intervention that addresses recommended guidelines for three target behaviors related to obesity risk: physical activity (at least 60 minutes on at least 5 days per week), fruit and vegetable consumption (at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day), and limited TV viewing (2 hours or less of TV each day).
The investigators hypothesize that television viewing will affect food intake in adolescent girls, and will depend on pubertal stage. Food intake will be measured at 30 min following a glucose(1 g of glucose/kg body weight) or sweetened noncaloric beverage with or without the presence of TV. Subjective appetite will be measured as well.
The purpose of this protocol is to study the effects of fluid milk products on satiety, food intake, and glucose metabolism in healthy young men and women. Experiment 1: The specific objective is to investigate isovolumetric amounts of milk (2% M.F.), chocolate milk (1% M.F.), a soy beverage, cow's milk-based infant formula, and water (control) on satiety and food intake and on blood glucose before and after a meal. A fixed volume approach is based on the commercially available serving size. Experiment 2 will examine equicaloric amounts of milk (2% M.F.), chocolate milk (1% M.F.), a soy beverage, cow's milk-based infant formula, a glucose drink and water (control) the treatments in order to investigate macronutrient composition on satiety and food intake and on blood glucose before and after the meal.
The investigators hypothesize that different types of starch vary in their effects on appetite, blood sugar and food intake. In this study, subjects consumed five soups containing 50 g of whole grain, high amylose corn, regular corn or maltodextrin starches or no added starch at one week intervals. The investigators measured food intake at 120 minutes, appetite and blood sugar.
The objective of this study was to describe relationships among whey protein when consumed before a meal on food intake and pre- and post-meal satiety, blood glucose in healthy young adults.
The purpose of this study is to describe relationships among whey protein and its hydrolysate when consumed before a meal on pre- and post-fixed meal satiety, blood glucose and insulin in healthy young adults.
The investigators hypothesize that different types of starch vary in their effects on appetite, blood sugar and food intake. In this study, subjects consumed five soups containing 50 g of whole grain, high amylose corn, regular corn or maltodextrin starches or no added starch at one week intervals. The investigators measured food intake at 30 minutes, appetite and blood sugar.
The proposed research will evaluate the efficacy of an intervention in urban corner stores. Community-based, environmental manipulation of corner stores is an understudied area and represents the next step in understanding and improving the nutritional intake of school students to prevent obesity.
We hypothesize that Family Dietary Coaching for one school year will allow a nutritional shift towards following recommendations and improve health indicators in free-living children and adults.
