Filter by:This is a study about how the price of foods affects buying choices at the grocery store. The price of foods can have a big impact on what people choose to buy and prices change over time. This study is being done to see how changes in food prices affect what mothers choose for their families.
The purpose of this study is to test any good and bad effects of an experimental diet, called a ketogenic diet, in endometrial cancer. A ketogenic diet is one that is very low in carbohydrates (simple and complex sugars). The goal of this diet is for the body to go into a state of ketosis. Ketosis is when the body does not have enough sugar for energy so it burns stored fats which create acids called ketones, which can be used for energy. Researchers hope to learn whether or not a ketogenic diet is well-tolerated and safe to eat before surgery in endometrial cancer patients.
The purpose of this pilot, feasibility study is to investigate the acceptability of an acceptance-based therapy healthy lifestyle intervention in adolescent girls with overweight/obesity.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well circuit, interval-based aerobic and resistance exercise works in targeting metabolic dysregulation in stage I-III breast or prostate cancer survivors. Circuit, interval-based aerobic and resistance exercise may help to improve cardiovascular fitness, weight loss, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and muscle strength in breast or prostate cancer survivors.
The role of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) intake in the development of total death, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and overweight are in great controversy but evidence from large population in China is scant.The investigators aim to use the data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey to assess the long-term association of SFAs intake with total mortality, diabetes, hypertension and overweight.
Obesity is a serious medical condition, the adverse consequences of which include increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, reduced fertility and cancer. The economic cost of obesity was placed at $58 billion dollars in Australia in 2008 [1]. Studies in mice and non-human primates have shown that moderate caloric restriction (CR) increases lifespan and reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes [2]. Reduced risk of chronic diseases is also observed in humans following CR [3]. However, daily CR is difficult to maintain long term, since the body defends against weight loss by inducing "metabolic adaptation"[3] and altering the hormonal appetite response [4]. An emerging number of studies are examining the effects of limiting food intake to prescribed time periods per day, or every other day. Time restricted feeding (TRF) describes a dieting approach where food is available ad libitum, however only for a limited period of time (i.e. 3-12 hours). This pilot study will examine the effects of restricting daily food intake to within a 10 hour period on glycaemic control, body weight and biomarkers of metabolic health for 6-weeks. This study will build on the existing knowledge base in humans as to whether meal timing, rather than caloric restriction per se, is important to provide the stimulus required to improve metabolic health and reduce risk of chronic disease.
This lab study is evaluating the feasibility of accomplishing productive office work while simultaneously pedaling a compact desk-based cycling device.
This pilot study serves to investigate whether ProManna intake leads to any changes in baseline levels for oxidative stress markers. In addition, biomarker responses following oxidative stress challenge tests will be assessed in subjects taking ProManna versus placebo supplements.
Randomised controlled trial in overweight adolescents using a health App.
The study aims to evaluate the possible effects of an exercise program, nutritional and psychological, postural orientation and guidance of oral health on body composition, physical activity levels and lifestyle, physical fitness and health and motor performance, the factors risk of cardiovascular disease, eating habits, the cognition levels, the psychological profile, the body posture of children and adolescent with overweight and obesity, considering the presence of risk genotype associated with the development of obesity. In addition, identify the effects of orientation for oral health on the quality of life and healthy oral habits.
