Filter by:Mindfulness-Based Interventions have been applied in different fields to improve physical and psychological health. However, little is known about its applicability and effectiveness in Spanish adults with overweight and obesity. The aim of the present study protocol is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an adapted MBI programme to reduce emotional eating in adults with overweight and obesity in primary care (PC) settings.
Brief Summary: This study will compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), lisdexamfetamine (LDX), and the combination of CBT and LDX for the treatment of binge-eating disorder in patients with obesity. This is an acute treatment comparing CBT or LDX alone or in combination.
This study is being conducted to assess weight loss efficacy, as determined by changes in body mass index (BMI), and safety of VI-0521 (Qsymia®) or placebo, taken for 56 weeks accompanied by a lifestyle modification program in obese adolescents age 12-16 years.
The Huizhou mother-infant cohort was set up to investigate the effect of dietary factors and environmental exposures during pregnancy on health consequences of mothers and offsprings in Huizhou, China.
The researchers will conduct a study for avoiding the metabolic syndrome in morbid obese patients. Thus, the aim of the present will be determine the effects of a resistance training programme (RT) in preventing or attenuating metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients with morbid obesity. A second aim will be report the prevalence of non-responders in terms of improvements in MetS markers and other co-variables considered.
The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of a 12-week resistance band exercise program on body composition, aging-related hormones, and blood pressure in postmenopausal women with stage 1 hypertension. Twenty postmenopausal women with hypertension participated in this study. Participants were randomly allocated into the resistance band training group (EX, n = 10) or the control group (CON, n = 10). The EX group performed a resistance band exercise training program at jump rope training program at 40-70% of their heart rate reserve (HRR) 5 days/week for 12 weeks (sessions 60 minutes in duration). The CON group did not participate in any exercise, dietary, or behavioral intervention. Body composition, aging-related hormones (growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1, dehydroepiandrosterone, and estradiol), and blood pressure were measured before and after the 12-weeks study.
Previous research has suggested that cesarean section may be associated with an increased risk of developing obesity in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Yet, previous studies have been small or unable to differentiate between elective and non-elective cesarean section. Therefore, using a population-based cohort the purpose is to examine the associations between vaginal delivery, elective and non-elective cesarean section on the risk of developing obesity in young adulthood among Swedish young singleton males. Using the Swedish medical birth registry, the recorded mode of delivery and indication of delivery which will be matched to those males who perform military conscription, where their body mass index is recorded. The investigators hypothesize that there will be an elevated risk of obesity in those born with non-elective cesarean section, as a function of confounding, while those born with elective cesarean section will not have a higher risk of obesity than those born with vaginal delivery.
The proposed study will design and evaluate a computerized-delivered single-session anxiety sensitivity reduction program (i.e., Anxiety Sensitivity Training; AST). The AST will be designed to achieve three primary aims: (1) provide psycho-educational information on AS and its consequences, (2) present psycho-educational information on the relationship between AS and obesity-related health behavior correlates, and (3) offer concrete, evidence-based strategies to facilitate motivation to change their obesity-related lifestyle behaviors.
This study evaluated whether uninsured patients living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level who received enhanced, culturally-relevant, integrated behavioral health services were more likely to improve health outcomes after 12 months compared to similar patients receiving usual care from Hope Family Health Center (HFHC), a charitable community clinic. The study employed a randomized control trial (RCT) design where intervention participants receiving integrated care at HFHC were compared to control participants receiving usual care at HFHC. Patients were placed in each group using simple random assignment. Demographic and health outcome data were collected from intervention and control participants at baseline. Health outcome data were subsequently collected at 6-month and 12-month follow-up points.
This is a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, to evaluate the effectiveness of daily supplementation of 3.2 g CLA on body fat reduction and lipid profile in overweight or obese Chinese adults, during a lifestyle counselling-based weight loss.
