Filter by:The purpose of pilot trial is to compare the efficacy of lifestyle intervention, metformin intervention, lifestyle combined with metformin intervention in improving assisted reproductive technology in non-polycystic ovary syndrome(pcos) patients with overweight/obesity and insulin resistance compared with conventional clinical education. Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized to four groups: lifestyle intervention group, metformin intervention group, lifestyle combined with metformin intervention group, and routine clinical education group. Subjects of above three intervention group will start ovulation stimulation treatment after reach the aim or duration of intervention and routine clinical education group has no intervention. All subjects are treated with the same procedures, including a long ovarian stimulation regimen, oocyte retrieval, and fertilization, followed by a planned transfer of two day-3 embryos. The primary outcome is ongoing pregnancy rate.
Investigators have previously shown that eating carbohydrates after protein or vegetables resulted in reduced glucose and insulin excursions over 180 min in patients with T2DM and in individuals with prediabetes as well. This is an open label, randomized controlled pilot study to assess the efficacy of carbohydrate-last food order behavior in reducing the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
The Supermarket and Web-based Intervention targeting Nutrition (SuperWIN) for cardiovascular risk reduction is a novel, randomized controlled trial aimed at increasing diet quality and decreasing cardiovascular risk. SuperWIN will deliver individualized, nutrition education at the point-of-purchase (POP), either in the aisles of the physical store or via online shopping platforms coupled with other modern software tools.
A prospective cohort study to determine whether a high body weight (BMI equal to or greater than 35 kg / m 2) has an effect on anticoagulant Apixaban level in the blood of patients with atrial fibrillation.
Increased consumption of fast-food may be a contributing factor to the obesity epidemic. Posting calories on menus in fast-food restaurants is an important public health initiative and may help consumers to make lower calorie, healthier choices. This study will develop and test an intervention to improve the impact of calorie labeling policies. Further, the study will examine potential barriers to using posted calorie information
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are a major caloric source and the largest source of added sugars in the American diet. While many cities around the country have adopted anti-SSB policies such as soda taxes to reduce SSB intake, there has yet to be any studies to evaluate if the effects of these taxes, coupled with increased water access and promotion effort can lead to decreased sugar sweetened beverage consumption and increased water consumption. This quasi-experimental study evaluates how implementation of SSB taxes, installation of new water stations, and a multicultural water promotion campaign in parks impacts beverage intake in these settings as compared to soda taxes alone.
This study is to evaluate the benefit and tolerability of two dosages of IQP-LU-104 (5120mg and 2560mg daily) in reducing body weight in overweight and moderately obese subjects
Mobile technologies/smartphone applications offer a means to effect behavior change without significant obstacles that typically limit implementation of empirically supported therapies (e.g., in-person sessions); however, rigorous research on apps is limited, and high-quality, adequately powered, randomized controlled trials with large samples are required. As more Americans consider bariatric surgery for the treatment of severe obesity, it is imperative to improve factors influencing suboptimal surgical outcomes (e.g., failure to adhere to diet and exercise recommendations and psychosocial impairment). This study will evaluate the effect of the Noom Coach for Bariatric Health platform in improving standard interventions utilized in bariatric surgery programs.
The main aim of this study was to examine whether introducing a work intervention into a traditional lifestyle rehabilitation program for persons with BMI above 30, would affect the participants' ability to work and their lifestyle change. The investigators wanted to find out how the participants experienced their health, workability and work capacity, quality of life, diet and self-efficacy before and during the intervention
Through a cluster randomized control trial, 148 male adolescents' students were randomly assigned into either intervention group who received an educational program for two months (n=79), or control groups (n=69) who didn't attend the program. The principle outcomes were the changes in physical activities, consumption of healthy diet, sedentary life habits and anthropometric measurements. The outcomes of the intervention group were compared with their own baseline readings, as well as with the readings of the control group. Rationale: - Saudi adolescents are in need for more exploration of their health problems and related health behaviors and application of intervention preventive services. - As a National Guard community medicine resident : I have a major interest in the health of adolescent and in fulfilling the aim of the school health programs of application of interventional preventive service that will target this vulnerable risky group. Aim: - Promote healthy life style among National Guard adolescents age group by application of interventional preventive program. Objectives: I. To measure physical activity patterns , sedentary behaviors and dietary habit among randomly selected adolescent in intervention and control group at National Guard Schools in Jeddah city 2014-2015. II. To implement an interventional school promotional program among the school children from the addressed age group in 2014-2015. III. To measure the effect of the interventional school promotional program among the two groups in relation to demographic, socioeconomic and other factors related to health in 2014-2015 .
