Filter by:This research is to develop a weight loss and weight maintenance program through dietary modifications for adults with obesity. Although scientific studies have shown the feasibility of rapid and safe dietary weight loss and subsequent weight maintenance, no efficacious dietary weight management program is widely available, and thus bariatric surgery remains the most reliable approach for weight loss/management. Safe and effective dietary weight loss and subsequent weight maintenance require flexible, individualized advice by an experienced dietitian/nutritionist.
This is a single-center observational study on adolescents to determine predictors of the early steps of the formation of atherosclerosis and to quantify their influence on Intima-Media-Thickness of the carotid artery and the aorta and on the Pulse-Wave Velocity. A long-term follow-up by means of record linkage is furthermore planned to evaluate the effect of early atherosclerosis and the cardiovascular risk profile on future morbidity with a special focus cardio- and cerebrovascular events.
The over-all aim of this 10-week randomized-controlled study, taking place only in Denmark, is to examine whether the PREVENTOMICS platform integrated in an e-commerce digital tool created to deliver personalized meals and dietary advices is able to produce more favorable health effects than meals based on general dietary recommendations in overweight subjects with elevated waist circumference.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Noom Healthy Weight Program, a digital behavior change weight loss intervention, creates a positive relationship with food, compared to a waitlist control group.
The purpose of this study is to investigate dietary compositions effect on liverfat measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
Intermittent fasting is an increasingly popular diet pattern of alternating eating and dieting.One particular form of intermittent fasting is the so-called time-restricted feeding (TRF). TRF allows for ad libitum feeding within a large window of time each day, and does not require any calorie counting. There is growing evidence that it can lose weight, reduce insulin resistance and improve cardiometabolic health. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive endocrine and metabolic disease affecting women of childbearing age. PCOS shows anovulation or oligoovulation, hyperandrogenemia and ovarian polycystic changes. Insulin resistance and obesity are common features of PCOS. Whether the TRF impacts women with PCOS is still unknown due to the paucity of data in this area. To explore the effects of TRF on the endocrine and metabolic profile in overweight women with PCOS, a 6-week single-arm trial, divided into 2 consecutive periods: (1) 1-week baseline period; and (2) 5-week TRF period, will be implemented.
This research will constitute a 3-year follow-up that includes a re-evaluation and re-intervention of overweight or obese adults suffering from hypertension, who already participated in a similar programme with the same objectives 3 years ago. Patients will be recruited in the Hypertension Unit of a public hospital and assigned to a experimental group. The evaluation will include: eating behaviour, body mass index (BMI) and physical activity levels.
This study will investigate how some artificial sweeteners (AS) cross from blood to breastmilk in breastfeeding women after oral intake. Moreover, it will be investigated whether the kinetics of AS differ based on the women's body composition (BMI) and metabolic status (diabetes). This will be investigated through a clinical trial in which 60 women divided into three groups (normal weight, overweight and diabetic) will drink a beverage containing four AS. over a period of six hours the women will donate blood and breast milk samples in order to investigate the presence of AS.
A randomized controlled trial for which the primary objective is to evaluate the effects of an online training program on physiotherapist's self-reported confidence in knowledge about weight management for people with osteoarthritis. 80 physiotherapists will be recruited into the study and randomized to one of two arms a) online training program (access to training program for 6 weeks) or b) control group (no access to online training program during the study). Questionnaires will be completed by all participants at baseline, and again at the end of the 6 week intervention period. A biostatistician will analyse blinded, de-identified data.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of acetaminophen on pain response and inflammation.
