Filter by:The study aimed at assessing the effect of a decaffeinated green coffee extract, rich in hydroxycinnamates, oat beta-glucans or the combination of both bioactive compounds on overweight/obese subjects with hyperglycemia.
This is a study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety of IBI362 lyophilized powder and IBI362 liquid formulation in healthy Chinese male subjects.
Many healthy lifestyle interventions have been developed to help people change their activity and diet, lose weight and thus reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disorders (CVD). However, these interventions often fail to engage their target audience, which undermines their effectiveness in changing behaviour and health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a self-directed, website-based intervention to promote physical activity and healthy dietary behaviours. The intervention frames health information from a novel perspective, which our previous work has indicated can help to promote interest in the health information and improve attitudes, self-efficacy and motivation towards physical activity and healthy dietary behaviours. The intervention comprises a website of information resources and personal recording areas to set goals and monitor activity and diet, weekly emails and pedometers. In this trial we aim to see whether the intervention has any impact on people's physical activity and diet, as well as their risk of developing CVD and T2DM. The intervention will be compared with a control condition in which participants will be shown standard resources available on NHS websites. Overweight/obese (BMI 25 - 39.5) males and females aged 35-74 years will be recruited from the community. The active intervention will last 6 weeks (during this period participants will receive weekly emails from the research team) and there will be a 6-week follow-up phase (in which participants will still have access to the website but contact from the research team). Activity, diet, disease risk markers and psychological antecedents of behaviour will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention (6-weeks) and post follow-up (12- weeks).
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a weight reduction program in adults, seen in a primary care setting, with overweight/obesity perceived as a health problem or with diseases related to overweight/obesity and ambitions to achieve weight reduction as part of treatment.
The follow-up study was based on our previous nutritional intervention trial entitled "Impact of Prenatal Vitamin/Mineral Supplements on Perinatal Mortality (NCT00133744)". We followed up all livebirths born to women of the trial to measure their height, weight, and hemoglobin and to implement a questionaire survey (including developmental milestones, disease history, breast feeding, passive smoking, et al). We selected a sub-sample of infants to assess their IQ, emotional and behavioral problem, and language development status. The outcomes of interest include death, body mass index, overweight/ obesity, stunting/ wasting/ thinness, anemia, developmental milestones, IQ, emotional and behavioral disorder, language developmental status, and disease history. Other interesting exposure includes breast feeding, passive smoking, et al. We hypothesize that intrauterine nutritional exposure has an impact on offspring's physical, mental, and language development. We also hypothesize that cesarean delivery including CDMR has an impact on offspring's these outcomes.
