Filter by:This project will develop and test an online health promotion program that augments diet and physical activity behavior change methods using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). ACT is an evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy found to be effective in over 200 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in improving a wide range of psychological and behavioral health problems. Recently, several clinical trials have found ACT enhances diet and exercise behavior as well as long term weight management. These studies have focused on testing ACT provided by experts in face-to-face interventions, which limits broad dissemination. Delivering an ACT health promotion program online could potentially provide a low-cost resource to improve health across Utah. The specific aims are to: 1. Develop a canvas-based online course (ACT on Health) that teaches how to improve diet and physical activity as well as ACT-based skills to enhance behavior change efforts. 2. Evaluate ACT on Health relative to a waitlist in a RCT with 60 overweight/obese adults on outcomes including self-reported physical activity, diet, and quality of life. If successful, this project will both provide an ongoing canvas extension course delivered throughout Utah to improve health behaviors. This project seeks to develop and test an online, self-guided ACT program (ACT on Health) to improve diet and physical activity. ACT on Health will include 8 weekly modules teaching effective health behavior change methods coupled with ACT strategies to reduce maladaptive motivators and enhance adaptive motivators for change. The investigators will evaluate the program in a RCT relative to a waitlist condition with 60 overweight/obese adults recruited through Extension in 7 Utah counties. The program will be offered through the USU Extension Canvas platform to ensure, if effective, that the program could continue to be offered across Utah. The two hypotheses for this study are as follows: 1. Participants will report a high degree of satisfaction and will demonstrate adequate engagement in the ACT on Health program. 2. Participants assigned to ACT on Health will improve more on self-reported diet, physical activity, and quality of life relative to the waitlist condition.
VA MapTrek is a mobile-phone-based web application that allows participants to take a virtual walk in interesting locations around the world while tracking their progress against the progress of other veterans on an interactive map. Steps are counted using a commercially-available triaxial accelerometer (e.g., Fitbit), and users see their progress overlaid on Google Maps. The objective of this study is to report activity levels to veterans, thereby encouraging them to walk more. Once participants know how to text and use Google maps, no additional training is needed. VA MapTrek does not require a special app, so there are no logins or passwords to remember. Simply registering one's Fitbit and mobile phone at an initial enrollment meeting suffices.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions have been applied in different fields to improve physical and psychological health. However, little is known about its applicability and effectiveness in Spanish adults with overweight and obesity. The aim of the present study protocol is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an adapted MBI programme to reduce emotional eating in adults with overweight and obesity in primary care (PC) settings.
This study is being conducted to assess weight loss efficacy, as determined by changes in body mass index (BMI), and safety of VI-0521 (Qsymia®) or placebo, taken for 56 weeks accompanied by a lifestyle modification program in obese adolescents age 12-16 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the satiating effects of different canned tuna preserved in olive oil enriched with soluble fiber or polyphenols on overweight subjects (BMI ≥25 and <30 kg / m2). Some studies have shown the contribution of high-fiber foods in the reduction of the cardiovascular risk.
The pilot study will be a one group treatment program and will be utilized to refine the M+BWL program.
Research has shown that replacing sitting time with low intensity physical activity (such as slowly walking and standing) has beneficial effects on metabolic health, like insulin sensitivity, comparable to improvements after sitting all day in combination with 1h streneous exercise. The main objective of this study is to investigate the underlying mechanisms responsible for improved insulin sensitivity after 4 days of sitting less compared to sitting and exercise in healthy obese women. Our secondary objective is to investigate the effects of sitting less on cardio metabolic parameters.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-month comprehensive weight management program on weight change in overweight/obese patients following treatment for endometrial cancer. During the study period, subjects will be monitored for recurrence during routine clinic visits A secondary exploratory purpose of this study will be to evaluate the gut microbiome in this intervention group and the changes that may occur while participating in a weight loss and weight management program.
A prospective non-interventional single-centre study aimed to assess the current practice of non-pharmacological treatment and pharmacological therapy of overweight and obesity in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) or with a high risk of CVD according to the patients' survey data
The SMART 2.0 study is a 24-month trial designed to evaluate the impact of the intervention with technology and personal health coaching or with technology alone on objectively measured weight among overweight young adults in a university setting over 24 months compared to a control group. The investigators hypothesize that both interventions will significantly improve weight compared to the control group, and the group receiving personal health coaching will experience the greatest improvement.
