Obesity may have implications on the individual's participation in working life through different mechanisms such as comorbidity and loss of functional level. The investigators also know that when exiting the working force, it is difficult to get back later. As rehabilitation back to working life is often not a very focused aim with weight loss treatment, this study sets this as a primary aim by involvement in a 4 week stay at a rehabilitation clinic followed by 48 weeks work practice programme at one of three different companies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a parent intervention (NOURISH+) aimed at reducing the problem of overweight and obesity in children.
- The primary aim of this study is to determine the adherence of low- carbohydrate among Chinese. - Then compare the effect of low-carbohydrate and traditional Chinese but restricted-calories diet on weight loss and metabolic traits.
The purpose of the Take Charge Study is to determine among overweight and obese men and women with type 2 diabetes whether 1) participating in a commercial weight loss program promotes great weight loss and weight loss maintenance at one year compared to usual care conditions and 2) whether there is a differential weight loss response to different dietary macronutrient composition (lower carbohydrate/higher fat diet versus a higher carbohydrate/lower fat).
The investigators investigated the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on metabolic profile (anthropometric measures, blood pressure Lipids, lipoproteins and glycemic indices) in overweight or obese women.
The aim of this randomized controlled study was to evaluate the effects of CR on circulating fetuin-A levels in obese humans with type 2 diabetes based on monitoring energy intake and energy expenditure by daily activity. Furthermore, the investigators examined the relationship between the changes of fetuin-A levels induced by CR and cardiovascular risk parameters including atherogenic lipid profile, visceral fat area (VFA), brachial artery endothelial function, and carotid IMT.
Obesity and physical inactivity have become serious problems for individuals with mental illness, resulting in increased rates of chronic disease, premature death, and substantial health care costs. Although in-person psychoeducational interventions help individuals with mental illness manage their weight, these interventions are often not used because they require frequent travel to treatment programs and substantial time from clinicians. This project addresses these barriers by developing and evaluating the effectiveness of an web-based computer system that is focused on diet and exercise education, and designed to help individuals with mental illness manage their weight.
This study hypothesizes that supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids (OM3) can increase physical activity, inhibit rapid gain in body weight and BMI in both sedentary and normally active 8 year old children. The purpose is secondarily to explore patterns of associations between OM3 supplementation, baseline and follow-up levels in all studied parameters. The study also aims to study if basal levels of OM3 are correlated with physical activity and to study if there is an association between basal levels of OM3 and the effect of OM3 supplementation on physical activity. To study if there is an effect of OM3 supplementation on triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels and to study if there are more pronounced effects on children with higher levels. To study if OM3 supplementation, compared with placebo reduce weight increase among children at risk to become overweight. To study if there is an association between effects of OM3 on physical activity, weight and risk markers in blood. To study if there are any gender differences.
The investigators hypothesize that, among non-hypertensive overweight and obese individuals, treatment of vitamin D deficiency and lowering uric acid concentrations (by either xanthine oxidase inhibition or increased renal excretion) will attenuate renin angiotensin system (RAS) activation, improve endothelial function, and lower blood pressure.
