Filter by:This study aims to develop and test a culturally tailored online weight loss program for the Saudi population. Building upon the success of a previous program in the United States, the research team will adapt educational materials and conduct a pilot study to assess the feasibility and initial outcomes of the program among Arab participants. The study seeks to answer questions about the program's acceptability, effectiveness, and scalability, with the ultimate goal of combating obesity and its related health issues in Saudi Arabia.
This is a Phase 2 Study to evaluate the effect of DD01 treatment in overweight/obese patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
The purpose of this study is to identify how to maintain a sustainable collaboration Illinois Extension Nutrition and Wellness Educators while continuing to offer an online weight-loss program, EMPOWER, to rural Illinois residents. - The primary aim of the study is to determine if an Extension-delivered introductory weight management class will be successful in recruiting rural individuals interested in losing weight to the EMPOWER weight-loss program. - The secondary aim is to enroll interested rural participants in an online weight loss intervention that focuses on promoting dietary and lifestyle behavioral changes to achieve ≥5 percent weight loss. Participants who participate in the EMPOWER weight-loss intervention will: 1. Complete 12 online educational sessions over a 3-month period followed by a 9-month follow-up period. 2. Participate in daily self-weighing using a provided WiFi-enabled scale. 3. Will have a monthly nutrition coaching call once per month for the 12-month duration of the study. 4. Will complete food records and self-report waist and hip circumference measures at baseline, 3-months, and 12-months.
This is a 3 month single arm pilot and feasibility study designed to examine the impact of an intermittent fasting lifestyle weight loss intervention on pre-specified clinical milestones (change in body weight, adherence to the fasting program, and moderate-to vigorous physical activity, MVPA) in adults with overweight and obesity and breast cancer after they have completed their cancer treatment. The investigators will also evaluate feasibility of recruitment and retention of study participants, safety of the intervention, and obtain feedback from participants to improve the program. Participants will receive a 3 month lifestyle weight loss program focusing on a 4:3 intermittent fasting paradigm (3 modified fast days per week) and support to increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week. Outcome measures will be assessed at the end of the 3 month intervention (primary endpoint) and after a 3 month weight maintenance follow up phase.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HRS9531 in subjects with overweight or obese for 48 weeks.
We will conduct a Type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation study to test an integrated telehealth intervention among 400 overweight and obese patients with COPD and OSA. We will include eligible participants receiving primary care at one of five Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers and their community-based outpatient clinics. We will randomize patients in a 1:1 ratio to the multi-component intervention or "enhanced" usual care, stratifying by age (≥65 vs. < 65) and site. Participants randomized to the intervention will receive an integrated, telehealth-delivered intervention composed of a self-directed lifestyle program and supervised pulmonary rehabilitation. At the end of 3 months, we will offer to enter a recommendation for weight management medications on behalf of eligible intervention participants. In the post-core period (months 4-12), participants will continue to have as-needed access to the lifestyle coach. For participants randomized to the "enhanced" usual care group, study staff will prompt the patient's primary care provider to refer them to existing weight loss management and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Follow-up will occur at virtual visits at 3 and 12 months. Our primary effectiveness outcome at 1-year is quality of life measured by the SF-12 Physical Component Summary Score. Secondary effectiveness outcomes will include other measures of quality of life (including sleep related impairment), sleep disturbance, disease severity (COPD exacerbations and respiratory event index for OSA), depression, social support, weight loss and cardiovascular risk. In addition to assessing effectiveness, we will also conduct a concurrent implementation process evaluation using the RE-AIM framework.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease.
Cardiovascular disease risk factors, including higher BMIs and poor cholesterol profiles, are on the rise and contribute to the United States' growing disease burden. Cottonseed oil (CSO) is found readily in the food supply, and the investigator's previous studies have demonstrated that incorporating CSO into the diet is sufficient to improve fasting cholesterol profile and improve postprandial lipid and/or glycemic responses in both healthy, and at-risk populations. This study aims to compare CSO to a fatty acid composition-matched diet, on changes in fasting and postprandial lipid metabolism and markers of chronic disease risk. The specific aims are: - Examine the impact of CSO vs. PUFA on fasting and postprandial lipids. - Examine the impact of CSO on other markers of chronic disease risk. Participants will be asked to: - Consume provided meal replacement shakes daily for 28-days. - Attend three weekly short visits for fasting blood draws, body measurements, and collect the next week of study materials, - Attend two longer (5.5h) testing visits which include eating a standardized breakfast meal and having blood drawn periodically before and after breakfast. Researchers will compare CSO vs. PUFA and control groups (receiving a mixture of oils) to see if CSO is unique in imparting health benefits when compared with similar matched oil diets.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the function of the adjustment procedure with the Spatz4 in subjects with a BMI ≥ 27.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the abundance of a natural odour in human cerebrospinal fluid in obese and lean participants after inhalation thereof. Participants will undergo blood sample collection and inhalation of either a natural odour or placebo through an inhaler in addition to a liquor puncture prescribed in standard of care context.
