Filter by:The epidemic of pediatric obesity has become a public health burden in both developed and developing countries, due to its serious health consequences, including an increased risk of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and heart disease. Currently, dietary and exercise changes are still the center of preventive and treatment measures of obesity. Recently, the omega-3 group, one of the groups of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), has been associated with many positive effects leading to the improvement of many diseases related to obesity. Nevertheless, the consumption of this essential nutrient requires certain ration to optimize its favorable result. Although previous studies have examined the efficacy of dietary counseling approach as treatment for obesity, none of them as explicitly explore the use of linear programming to create a tailored diet containing high omega-3 fatty acid food as a part of dietary counseling in obesity management program among children. Thus, this study is intended to contribute the clinical evidence regarding this area of knowledge, specifically the effects of enhanced counseling containing complementary feeding recommendation on nutritional status, omega-3 fatty acid, malondialdehyde, and alpha Tocopherol among children with risk of overweight aged 12 -23 months in East Jakarta.
This study evaluates two group-based Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle interventions delivered in the workplace to individuals at risk for pre-diabetes: 1) an in-person group-based lifestyle intervention; and 2) an internet-based intervention delivered using an online platform with lifestyle coaching support. Eligible participants will be randomized equally to each intervention program (120 participants in each).
The current study seeks to elucidate the context of pathological and non-pathological eating behavior in a heterogeneous sample of overweight and obese children, aged 8-14 years. Children will undergo a two-week ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol in which they record all eating episodes and their physiological, emotional, interpersonal, and environmental correlates. Specific aims are to identify proximal antecedents and consequences of pathological and non-pathological eating in overweight and obese children, and to determine the prevalence of loss of control eating in the natural environment.
The purpose of this study is to see if perceived barriers to vegetable consumption can be overcome by making it easier for people eat more vegetables and to see if the effects last over time.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether increased dairy intake, at the level recommended by Canada's Food Guide, combined with healthy eating and exercise, will improve body composition and bone turnover over 12 weeks in overweight and obese girls.
This study assesses weight loss from the Endoscopic Vertical Gastroplasty or Fogel Gastroplasty (FG). The purpose of the study is to: - Document that weight loss occurs (12 months) - Determine if it alters general wellbeing (emotionally and physically)
Motivational interviewing and nutritional counseling for weight loss in primary care.
Obesity risk is shared within married couples yet most existing weight loss programs focus on individuals and not the marital dyad. This project will test the effects of a couples weight loss program that teaches spouses how to provide each other with autonomy support and create an interpersonal environment that promotes sustained behavior change.
This trial is conducted in the United States of America. The aim of the trial is to investigate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) for single doses and multiple doses of NNC0165-1562 in overweight to obese but otherwise healthy subjects.
Patients who are overweight or obese, diabetic or not, share with those who are suffering from uric stones the same way to remove abnormal acidity of the body in urine, ie a kidney ammoniogenesis default. This results in an overly acidic urine pH which is directly pathogenic in people predisposed to develop uric stones because the precipitation of urate soluble uric acid is accelerated in acid medium. Excess visceral fat, particularly perirenal, this defect may promote formation of renal ammonium. Indeed, the perirenal fat is adjacent to the renal cortex and shares with it a common arterial supply via the plexus Turner. Adipokines and fatty acids of the perirenal fat are predisposed to gain the renal cortex, seat of the ammoniogenesis. In humans the pathogenic role of the perirenal fat is demonstrated in chronic kidney disease and essential hypertension. However, the amount of fat and perirenal that of intra-abdominal fat are positively correlated. Investigators hypothesis is that the perirenal fat also exert a pathogenic role in uric because of anatomical links between kidney stones and greasy environment and because excess fatty acids reaching the renal cortex decreases ammoniogenesis in an animal model metabolic syndrome. For the test, the investigators will compare the amount of fat and perirenal renal ability to form ammonium in patients with uric or calcium lithiasis taking into account the amount of intra-abdominal fat.
