Filter by:The objective of this study is to design and refine an activity support program for overweight or obese adults called Move. The primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the Move physical activity support program.
This clinical trial aims to compare the effect of a nutritional intervention based on Mindful Eating, with standard dietary treatment, in changing the eating behavior of overweight individuals.
This is a dietary intervention study, which aims to explore different diet challenges for glucose metabolism, including carbohydrates and fasting dietary pattern. Considering the glucose responses to the same food are largely heterogeneous among people, this study integrates the concepts of precision nutrition and N-of-1 design. The study also aims to discover the different impact of the time-restricted diet (TRD) and the energy-restricted diet (ERD) on host metabolic health and our hair growth.
This project aims to develop an intervention on healthy habits based on physical exercise and nutritional education in people with obesity. It is accepted that exercise and nutrition are keys to controlling body weight. People with obesity frequently present with metabolic syndrome and a low-grade inflammatory state. It is not known what should be the most effective training load/dose (duration, intensity, type of exercise) to improve health indicators related to metabolic syndrome and lipo-inflammation, and body composition in people with obesity. A large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be essential to better understand the type and characteristics of training load/dose most effective in counteracting the detrimental effects of obesity. The aim of this trial in 50 obese women was to answer the following questions: - Does the training program improve physical fitness? - Does the training program improve body composition? - Does the training program improve the state of chronic low-grade inflammation? - Does the training program improve the quality of life and perceived health? - Do people with obesity and metabolic syndrome respond in the same way to training? - what is the effect of four weeks of detraining?
The overall aim of this study is to investigate the effects of home-based resistance exercise programme on changes in body composition and strength during weight loss, in people living with obesity or overweight.
The goal of this randomized pilot clinical trial is to describe the feasibility of a couple-based lifestyle intervention and the study protocol in preparation for a future definitive randomized clinical trial. Participants include individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes and their romantic partners. The main objectives are: 1. To describe the feasibility of the couple-based intervention. 2. To describe the feasibility of the study protocol for use in a definitive trial. Participating couples will be randomized to one of two year-long lifestyle intervention conditions: an individual curriculum or a couple-based curriculum. Participants will complete assessments before and after the year-long intervention, as well as monthly during the intervention. Data will be collected on: feasibility, background, health behaviors, physical and mental health, and relationship functioning.
The objective of this study is to determine the independent and additive effects of food texture and energy density on food and energy intake compared to a control condition.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether strength training can be used as a viable exercise modality for the purpose of inducing fat loss.
Studies showing the relationship between meal frequency, weight loss and anthropometric measurements are contradictory. This study is planned and conducted to observe the effects of meal frequency (3 meals+3 snacks vs 3 meals) on weight loss, anthropometric measurements and body composition with 3-month energy restricted Medical Nutrition Therapy program in 19-64 years old women with a BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2.
The use of zein nanoparticles as vehicles for drug delivery is under study, but of the effects observed in empty nanoparticles, in laboratory animals, the reduction of glucose levels was something worth studying. Thus, the present research on patients with prediabetes has been proposed. The objective is to assess the efficacy of zein nanoparticles on the glycemic control. For this purpose, a randomized, double blind crossover study has been designed. Target sample size is 60.
