Filter by:Childhood overweight and obesity is a health problem with lifelong implications related to diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, psychological disorders as well as other chronic conditions.
The goal of this study is to test whether the mobile application (app.) helps adolescents make healthy food choices, decreasing calories purchased from restaurants, fewer number of visits to restaurants, and if it has an impact on their body mass index (BMI). Eligible adolescents will be enrolled in the study along with a parent for approximately 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LMT1-48(Probiotics) compared to a placebo in reducing the body fat in overweight subjects
This study will be conducted to investigate the influence of body mass index (BMI) on core stability (CS) in healthy subjects. The participants in this study will be 90 healthy subjects with right dominant lower limb (49 females and 49 males) they will be recruited from College of Applied Medical Sciences, Jazan University.
It is of major importance to refine prevention strategies in order to alleviate inflammation, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome and it appear that improving gut health and microbiota represent a promising strategy. Cranberry-enriched diets may help prevent metabolic syndrome and its associated chronic diseases by a protective effect of gut health and microbiota. It is therefore highly relevant to test the hypothesis that a whole cranberry powder supplements (which include a mixture of polyphenols, free and fiber-associated proanthocyanidins, and fruits fibers) is associated with changes on the gut health and microbiota playing a major role in alleviating inflammation and obesity-associated metabolic disorders.
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of BMI on hand grip force in healthy subjects. The participants in this study will be 90 healthy subjects with right dominant lower limb (49 females and 49 males) they will be recruited from College of Applied Medical Sciences, Jazan University.
This study examined whether remembered meal satisfaction (encompassing memory for meal liking and satiety) can be manipulated in the laboratory and whether this influences later food intake.
This randomized clinical trial was carried out from January 2017 to December 2017 at the facilities of the Catholic University of Murcia. Written informed consent was required from each patient. The protocols of the present clinical trial follow the CONSORT standards. To measure the impact of cognitive training on weight loss in overweight / obese subjects, a double-blind study (de facto masking) was designed. Both the participants and the statistical assessors were unaware of the study hypothesis. Participants were unaware of treatments and possible assignments between groups, and only those subjects who were randomly assigned to the cognitive training group were informed that such training was part of dietary therapy. The principal investigator of the present study (J.J.H.M.) carried out the randomization, with the assistance of the Microsoft Excell program, with the help of a macro designed in Visual Basic® for that purpose. The randomization divided the subjects into two groups, as they were treated with a hypocaloric diet plus 12 nutrition education sessions (CONTROL group) or a group that were treated with a hypocaloric diet plus 12 sessions of cognitive training (COGNITIVE group). In order to obtain a similar size in both groups, a randomization in blocks with a 1: 1 allocation ratio was performed. Cognitive performance measures were performed before and after training. One week before the beginning of the cognitive and dietary intervention, the participants performed a series of cognitive tests. After 12 weeks of both dietary and cognitive intervention, participants were reexamined to measure performance on neurocognitive tests.
Preeclampsia causes devastating maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality with a high recurrence risk and a rapid, occult progression to cardiovascular disease after delivery. There is a critical need for effective interventions to reduce these risks. This is a pilot randomized controlled trial of a novel postpartum lifestyle intervention compared to women who take home blood pressure measurements and women with usual care who are overweight and obese in the first year after preeclampsia. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will lead to improved weight loss and blood pressure in the first year postpartum, which has broad implications for future pregnancy and long-term cardiovascular health.
The present study aimed to determine the effect of different interventions on lean body mass maintenance under weight loss conditions in overweight and obese premenopausal women. Three study groups were implemented: (1) Protein supplementation (only) group (2) Protein supplementation and walking intervention (3) Protein supplementation, walking and WB-EMS-application. All protocols were applied for 16 week of intervention. A energy deficit of 500 kcal/d was intended however while group (1) focus consistently on energy restriction (500 kcal/d), in group (2) and (3) a combined physical activity (i.e. walking with a volume representing 250 kcal/d) and energy restriction (250 kcal/d) protocol was applied. Total protein uptake including protein supplementation was calculated to average around 1.2 g/kg body mass per day in groups (1) and 1.5 g/kg body mass/d in group (2) and (3). WB-EMS was applied 1.5x 20 min/week (i.e. each Tuesday and every second Thursday). Primary study endpoint was LBM as determined by Dual Energy x-Ray Absorptiometry.
