Filter by:Physician counseling for physical activity, dental services, and academic support services such as tutoring could be improved through physician knowledge of local community resources and physician counseling directing patients to such services that are near the patient's residential address. This study will test the hypothesis that an electronic medical record enhanced with geographic information systems can improved physician counseling for physical activity, dental services, and academic support services by identifying services that are near the patient's residential address and informing MD's of such info at the point of care.
This study will test the effectiveness of two distinct treatments for weight loss: 1. Motivational Interviewing 2. Nutritional Counseling. These treatments will be compared to Treatment as Usual. Participants will be recruited through local primary care offices.
The overall purpose of this study is to develop and implement an effective intervention program designed to prevent and treat obesity in young children.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new dosage form and dose of orlistat is equivalent to the currently marketed form.
This study has two main aims: 1) To determine if ingestion of solid or beverage food forms will change appetite hormone responses, and 2) To determine whether "learning" (defined as 2 week daily consumption) about the metabolic consequence of ingesting solid or beverage foods forms varying in energy alters appetite hormone responses. Beverage consumption has been implicated in the problem of obesity. However, the exact relationship between beverages, lower appetitive response and lower compensatory dietary responses remains unclear. This study aims to address this gap in the research. For aim 1, the null hypothesis is that the energy in beverage and solid forms will not affect appetite hormonal responses differently. The alternative hypothesis is that exposure to the energy-yielding beverage will elicit a lower appetitive hormone response compared to oral exposure to the solid food form. For aim 2, the null hypothesis is that learning will not change appetite hormone responses. The alternative hypothesis is that learning will decrease appetite hormone responses in the non-energy-yielding beverage more than in the energy-yielding beverage.
Inclusion of foods rich in fiber, such as flaxseed, is a nutritional strategy for treating obesity. The hypothesis of this study is to compare the effects of three types of flaxseed flour - whole brown flaxseed flour, brown defatted flaxseed flour and golden flaxseed flour in the sensations of appetite and satiety, lipid profile, pressure levels and associated costs in overweight and obese women.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of tailored lifestyle intervention in primary care by comparing changes in the primary measure of weight and body mass index (BMI) and secondarily: physical activity (PA), fat calories consumed, and fruit/vegetable servings within the two arms (intervention and control) of the study. It is hypothesized that the intervention cohort will demonstrate greater reductions in body weight, body neglect, and fat calories consumed and greater increases in physical activity and fruits/vegetable servings after two years compared to the control cohort. The study also aims to evaluate and compare the cost of intervention for purpose per each unit of measure lost between the two arms of the study as a secondary objective. The cost of intervention will be evaluated as it relates to study replication.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of daily ingestion of Juice Plus+® capsules containing Orchard, Garden and Vineyard blends on endothelial function and biomarkers of oxidative stress (oxidized LDL, lipid hydroperoxides and protein carbonyls) in overweight men as compared to the placebo group.
With the epidemic of obesity and diabetes growing around the world, Kochujang (KCJ) may be potentially effective in preventing and treating obesity and cardiovascular risks if proven in humans. However, human trial still have not been reported with KCJ supplementation. In the present study, we investigated the hypothesis that KCJ supplementation can be decrease the body fat and improve blood lipid profiles in overweight adults.
It is known that dieting (restricted energy intake) without resistance training leads to a reduced metabolic rate, and the loss of both fat and muscle mass. When exercise is not included in a period of restricted energy intake, the degree to which muscle mass is lost is highly dependent upon protein consumption. Whey protein is a high quality protein isolated from milk and is known to stimulate new protein synthesis for all proteins in your body. Previous research has established that the consumption of whey protein has been correlated with retaining muscle mass while stimulating fat loss. However, the mechanisms behind these findings is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to establish a mechanistic underpinning to the efficacy of whey protein versus soy protein and a carbohydrate control (maltodextrin), in promoting fat mass loss and lean mass retention during a period of short-term controlled dietary energy deficit (-750 kcalories/day).
