Obesity Clinical Trial - Evaluation of Physical Performance in Old Adults

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objectives of the present study are to estimate the sarcopenic proportion in a cohort of obese older subjects who have been hospitalized. The secondary objective is to individuate several clinical variables that differ between the sarcopenic obese patient and the not sarcopenic obese patient.

Clinical Trial Description

80 obese patients of both genders (BMI > 35), with an age > 60 years, hospitalized at the Hospital San Giuseppe, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, IRCCS, Piancavallo (VB) are selected. For each patient, the following information are collected at the time of admission: - anthropometric parameters (height, weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference); - body composition (free fat mass, fat mass), measured with impedance (BIA) and DEXA; - hand strength measured with the hand grip test; - explosive strength of lower limbs, measured with the stair climbing test; - Senior Fitness Test (SFT), a battery of tests useful to estimate the fitness level in the elderly. SFT is a test that leads to measuring different physical parameters typical of daily activities: strength of upper and lower limbs, aerobic resistance, flexibility of lower and upper limbs, agility, and dynamic equilibrium. The measurements obtained make it possible to classify the skills as high function or low function. - Physical performance test (PPT), which evaluates 7 physical capabilities areas of the subject to perform actions during daily life. The cut-off to determine the motor limitation condition is a score of ≤ 20 (out of 28 points). - Questionnaire SF-12 (Short Form Health Survey), which leads to a multi-dimensional measuring of the life quality related to health. It is composed of 12 questions from which can be obtained two synthetic indices, one related to physical health and one related to mental health. - Oswestry Disability Index questionnaire, elaborated to have information on how back problems, or leg problems, can influence physical abilities related to daily life. The presence of sarcopenia is identified based on the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) (Cruz-Jentoft AJ et al. 2019) definition. The physical performance parameters is evaluated according to the age, sex, obesity grade, and presence of sarcopenic obesity. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
