Filter by:The main objective is to understand the lived experience of overweight/obese patients who have followed the mindful eating program at Montpellier University Hospital. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews will be conducted in the Nutrition-Diabetes service by using a questionnaire.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to establish the effectiveness of a culturally targeted and individually tailored behavioral intervention to promote maternal glucose metabolism in African American women.
The purpose of this study to understand better how this anti-obesity medication works to assist individuals to lose weight and maintain weight loss. This study may lead to the development of other related medications for assisting people with the disease of obesity.
This study is a multi-center, open label, randomized controlled trial that main purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences of glucose control and weight loss between Beinaglutide and Dulaglutide in type 2 diabetes with overweight or or Obesity.
We will recruit overweight/ obese participants between the age of 18 and 65 with chronic nonspecific low back pain . The participants will be randomly assigned to one of two interventions (each lasting 10 weeks). All interventions will be delivered online and will be a combination of online education material and face-to-face video calls with a physical therapist. The first group (experimental intervention) will receive a behavioral weight reduction program combined with pain neuroscience education plus cognition-targeted exercise therapy. Participants in the second group (control intervention) will receive pain neuroscience education and cognition-targeted exercise therapy alone. Allocation to the groups will be at random. Participants and assessors will be blinded for group allocation. The primary outcomes is pain intensity. Secondary outcomes include other pain related outcomes, body composition, physical activity, sedentary behavior, dietary intake and function.
Evidence from previous studies supports a strong relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and reduced cardiac risk. This could be mediated via improvements on blood pressure, platelet function and vascular reactivity. Certain vitamins and polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables, have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and play a major role on the function of immune cells. Previous studies have also demonstrated the importance of omega-3 fatty acids on humans' health and their positive effects on the cardiovascular system and blood lipids regulation, as well as their involvement on inflammatory response. Nutritional regimens with adequate intake of micronutrients, fruit and vegetables, omega-3 fatty acids, low in sugar and saturated fats, such as the Mediterranean diet or vegetarian diets, can reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress and improve cardiovascular risk profile. Considering that the population's fruit and vegetable and omega-3 intakes are below recommendations, whole food-based supplements could provide an accessible form of supplementation to bridge the gap between actual and recommended intakes. This study is aiming to assess whether long-term separate ingestions of an encapsulated juice powder concentrate and a plant-based omega fatty acid supplement, or a combined ingestion of the two, can affect biomarkers of cardiovascular health, low-grade inflammation and indicators of biological aging in older adults.
Soybean peptides are a mixture of active peptides obtained from the hydrolysis of soybean protein, which have biological activities such as antioxidant, blood pressure lowering, anti-fatigue and lipid lowering, etc. They can regulate food intake, increase satiety, and reduce fat body ratio by reducing cholesterol and triglyceride content and stimulating CCK secretion.Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a set of linoleic acid with conjugated unsaturated double bond, the location and structure of the isomers have been approved by the ministry of health in China as a new resource food , widely used in areas such as health care products, functional foods and food additives, animal experiments showed that it has reduce tumor, atherosclerosis, obesity risk.Therefore, in this study, the effect of conjugated linoleic acid combined with soybean peptide on overweight and obese people was investigated in a randomized controlled manner.
The PROVE Trial is a randomized clinical trial that will determine whether a weight loss intervention combined with walking exercise achieves greater improvement or less decline in six-minute walk distance at 12 month follow-up than walking exercise alone in people with PAD and BMI>25 kg/m2. The intervention uses a Group Mediated Cognitive Behavioral framework, connective mobile technology, remote monitoring by a coach, and a calorie restricted Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-derived Optimal Macronutrient Intake Trial for Heart Health (OMNIHeart) diet. 212 participants with PAD and BMI > 25 kg/m2 will be randomized to one of two groups: weight loss + exercise (WL+EX) vs. exercise alone (EX). Participants will be randomized at Northwestern, Tulane University, and University of Minnesota. Our primary outcome is change in six-minute walk distance at 12-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes are change in 6-minute walk distance at 6-month follow-up and change in exercise adherence, physical activity, patient-reported walking ability (measured by the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) distance score), and mobility (measured by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS] mobility questionnaire) at 12-month follow-up. Tertiary outcomes are perceived exertional effort (measured by the Borg scale at the end of the 6-minute walk at 12-month follow-up), and diet quality. Exploratory outcomes consist of change in the short physical performance battery (SPPB), the WIQ stair climbing and walking speed scores, and calf muscle biopsy measures at 12-month follow-up. Study investigators will perform calf muscle biopsies in 50 participants to compare changes in mitochondrial biogenesis and activity, capillary density, and inflammation between WL+EX vs. EX.
Despite the efficacy of intensive lifestyle interventions in prediabetes, the incidence of diabetes is rising, and thus there is a critical need for additional strategies to prevent diabetes and to reduce its cardiovascular complications in this high-risk population. Sleep apnea is a highly common condition in prediabetes, but it has been mostly ignored and undertreated in current practice. The proposed study will be the first to assess whether adding CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) treatment to a lifestyle intervention improves cardiometabolic outcomes beyond that achieved with lifestyle alone (i.e. current standard of care) in high-risk individuals with prediabetes.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effects of a hypocaloric Mediterranean diet or of physical activity in participants who take at least 2 antihypertensive drugs but do not reach blood pressure treatment goal. This study is a randomized, controlled, single-center, parallel group trial with three arms: hypocaloric Mediterranean diet (MeDi), physical activity (PA), or control. The control group will receive usual care (no intervention). This study will not be blinded. The interventions will last 6 months, while the study follow-up will last 12 months. Four study visits will take place: baseline, at 3 months, at 6 months, at 12 months. The primary outcome is change in mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure among groups after 6 months of intervention. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include change in other measures of blood pressure, body composition, other markers of cardiometabolic disease, inflammation markers, safety outcomes, and quality of life, among others.
