Filter by:Increased prevalence of overweight and obesity is one of the main health problems recently. Energy balance from nutrition intake and energy expenditure through physical activity, especially structured physical activity, is needed to prevent overweight individuals become obese individuals. This research objective is to explore the effectiveness and safety of structured high intensity interval training in male young adults subjects with overweight based on change of body composition, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. This research used experimental model to test structured high intensity interval training program with pre-post test in single group. Comprehensive analysis of training effect in this research consists of measurement of several parameters, such as body composition, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress markers as the benchmark of training safety. Browning white adipose tissue and cognitive function are complement parameters to the assessment of training effectiveness. Daily food record and physical activity for 3 x 24 hours will be carried out periodically to control confounding factors.
The objectives of this trial are to assess the effects of adding 2 servings/d of either full-fat or low-fat fermented dairy products to the diet, as a replacement for non-dairy foods with macronutrient composition similar to the low-fat fermented dairy condition, on insulin sensitivity, erythrocyte fatty acid profile and other cardiometabolic health markers in metabolically at-risk adults.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a daily consumption for 2 weeks of a sourdough croissant enriched with dietary fibers vs a control sourdough croissant with no fiber added on daily energy intakes, fasting metabolic parameters, inflammatory status, blood pressure, anthropometric measures, body composition, appetite sensations, gastrointestinal functionality and gut microbiota composition.
Overweight and obesity are public health concerns and there is a forecast rise in the consumption of ready meals that are generally high in saturated fat and low in fibre. Slimming World, a commercial weight management organisation has designed a range of ready meals in line with their weight management programme, which advocates an unrestricted intake of low energy dense food in order to aid in weight loss. Hence, it is valuable to understand the satiating properties of ready meals in order to establish if specific ready meals can enhance satiety and contribute to reducing subsequent energy intake. This study aims to explore the effect of ready meals on short-term satiety and food intake among females with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.
The Effect of Extended Use of the Epitomee Capsule on BodyWeight in subjects with Overweight and Obesity with and without Prediabetes
IMPROVE is an implementation study aiming to explore the effects of two bundled implementation strategies on the intervention fidelity of the Healthy School Start program (primary outcome) while simultaneously monitoring effects on health outcomes of children and parents (secondary outcomes). Thirty schools in two municipalities will receive the HSS program reaching about 1400 families per school year, for two years.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an endoluminal gastric plication using an endoluminal-suturing device to improve severe OSAS in patients with a BMI above or equal to 28 kg/m² until 34.9kg/m².
The increased risk of transmission of COVID-19 infection causes the incidence of death in health workers to escalate. It requires further research on risk factors and intervention in health worker professionals, especially on immunity factors and nutritional status. Quality of diet and nutrition is very important to support the immune system when infected. Several probiotic strains have been shown to decrease the duration and incidence of diarrhea and respiratory infections, suggesting the Gut-Lung Axis pathway. Some probiotics also improve the balance of diversity in the composition of the gut microbiota and affect body weight in obese people. Probiotics have also been shown to improve vitamin D absorption. A combination of vitamin D and probiotics may be an alternative to reduce gut dysbiosis that will directly or indirectly reduce the risk and severity of viral infections including SARS-CoV-2.
Approximately 24 million older adults have prediabetes. Obesity, age related decreases in lean mass and increases in fat mass, and sedentary lifestyle have been associated with functional and cognitive decline in older adults. Innovative lifestyle strategies to treat obesity and pre-diabetes are critically needed. The proposed research will demonstrate that time restricted eating combined with resistance training is an effective non-pharmacological therapy to help obese prediabetic individuals reduce body fat, maintain lean mass, prevent progression of prediabetes to diabetes, and improve cognition.
The research study is an intervention and feasibility crossover design pilot study designed to assess if consuming 3 study foods made with either soybean oil or palm oil per day for 4 weeks can alter whole blood, plasma and erythrocyte fatty acids and body weight in overweight/obese adults. Additionally, the study will assess the adherence to consuming 3 study foods per day for 4 weeks and to assess if participant remain unaware of (or masked to) which study food group (soybean oil vs palm oil) they are consuming.
