This study evaluates weight loss effect of the method LEVA by Bertz et al in subjects with overweight or obesity that are remitted to Primärvårdens Dietistenhet.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effects of a hypocaloric Mediterranean diet or of physical activity in participants who take at least 2 antihypertensive drugs but do not reach blood pressure treatment goal. This study is a randomized, controlled, single-center, parallel group trial with three arms: hypocaloric Mediterranean diet (MeDi), physical activity (PA), or control. The control group will receive usual care (no intervention). This study will not be blinded. The interventions will last 6 months, while the study follow-up will last 12 months. Four study visits will take place: baseline, at 3 months, at 6 months, at 12 months. The primary outcome is change in mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure among groups after 6 months of intervention. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include change in other measures of blood pressure, body composition, other markers of cardiometabolic disease, inflammation markers, safety outcomes, and quality of life, among others.
The identification of intermittent fasting as an alternative method to traditional weight maintenance protocols could have a significant impact on preventing body weight regain common after successful weight loss, and potentially lead to a reduction in pharmaceutical and clinical costs related to the care of overweight and obese adults.
The frequency of meals is a very important aspect of nutrition, with profound effects on human health and in life expectancy. Excessive energy consumption is totally associated with a significant increase in the incidence of chronic diseases including diabetes. That is why nutritional therapy is recommended for all people with diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2 as an effective complement to your medical treatment. For overweight or obese type 2 diabetic patients, a low-calorie diet along with healthy eating patterns are recommended for weight loss. Similarly, modest body weight decrease may provide clinical benefits in patients, such as improved blood glucose, blood pressure, lipid profile, and others. Data about the role of nutritional habits and energy density being important precursors of obesity and diabetes are well known. On the other hand, data regarding frequency and timing of meals and how these factors relate to corporal weight are not totally understood.
A randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of an online weight control program, called en_línea, comparing with a standard group therapy and a control group
Obesity is a major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor that is rising fastest in children. Prevention of its damaging effects should begin earlier before they become irreversible. Pilot data identified novel markers of cardiometabolic dysfunction that may be better than body mass index at stratifying risk and as targets for CVD prevention in the young. Advanced imaging, blood tests and a meal-challenge will be used to comprehensively characterise how early metabolic dysfunction (liver and muscle fat, insulin resistance) affects cardiovascular health (arterial stiffness, myocardial energetics, gut vasoreactivity, diastolic function, blood pressure trajectory, left ventricular hypertrophy) in 210 adolescents (110 obese, 50 sedentary normal-weight, 50 high-activity). Reversibility of this phenotype will be tested in the obese by randomised controlled trial, comparing 8-week supervised exercise to a low-activity sham intervention. This study will provide the platform for developing practical, effective CVD prevention in children that is not simply focused on weight-loss.
Precocious puberty and childhood overweight and obesity are important public health problems that both had adverse effects, which including psychological symptom in childhood, short final height or reproductive dysfunction in adulthood, on children's physical and psychological development.The prevalence of precocious puberty and childhood overweight and obesity are both high, and a growing body of epidemiological studies suggested that there was a close relationship of childhood overweight and obesity with puberty development, especially in girls. However, the underlying mechanism between them is unclear. Existing evidence shows that the occurrence of precocious puberty and overweight and obesity are the result of interaction of multiple factors, which consists growth environment and genetics, and many previous studies provided that more overlapping genes existed between obesity and precocious puberty patients, suggesting that common genes may result in these diseases. Therefore, based on a case control study, which will investigate the associations between obesity pleiotropic genes and early puberty, the researchers will collect information related to obesity, growth environment factors and risk genes in this study to evaluate the relationships of these related factors and precocious puberty, and to further explore whether there exists biological interaction effects of these risk factors on sexual precocity. This project has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanghai Children's Medical Center.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding obesity.
In Korea, 5 million adults aged 30 years or older have diabetes. The development and expansion of Korea's economy and society, has led to dramatic chances in people's lifestyle and diet habits, and an increase in life expectancy. However, changes in lifestyle and diet habits related to the improvements of socioeconomic status may contribute to an increased diabetes burden in Korea. Therefore, it is important to prevent diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of real time-continuous glucose measurement (RT-CGM) system compared to only lifestyle modification group on blood glucose, lipid profile and diabetes prevention in prediabetic adults with overweight or obesity.
