Evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a multi-component school-based intervention to promote healthy eating and physical activity with school children ages 9 to 11 years in Lebanon.
The purpose of this study is to examine the acceptability and efficacy of a modified Weight Watchers program over 24 weeks. Assessments will be conducted at 0, 3, and 6 months.
Many healthy lifestyle interventions have been developed to help people change their activity and diet, lose weight and thus reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disorders (CVD). However, these interventions often fail to engage their target audience, which undermines their effectiveness in changing behaviour and health outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a self-directed, website-based intervention to promote physical activity and healthy dietary behaviours. The intervention frames health information from a novel perspective, which our previous work has indicated can help to promote interest in the health information and improve attitudes, self-efficacy and motivation towards physical activity and healthy dietary behaviours. The intervention comprises a website of information resources and personal recording areas to set goals and monitor activity and diet, weekly emails and pedometers. In this trial we aim to see whether the intervention has any impact on people's physical activity and diet, as well as their risk of developing CVD and T2DM. The intervention will be compared with a control condition in which participants will be shown standard resources available on NHS websites. Overweight/obese (BMI 25 - 39.5) males and females aged 35-74 years will be recruited from the community. The active intervention will last 6 weeks (during this period participants will receive weekly emails from the research team) and there will be a 6-week follow-up phase (in which participants will still have access to the website but contact from the research team). Activity, diet, disease risk markers and psychological antecedents of behaviour will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention (6-weeks) and post follow-up (12- weeks).
This pilot clinical trial studies how well an evidence-based exercise and nutrition program adapted for Latinas works in improving physical activity and dietary behavior in non-active, overweight, or obese rural Latinas. An exercise and nutrition program may reduce the risk for developing certain cancers, obesity, and chronic health conditions in Latinas who are non-active, overweight, or obese.
Background: The global pandemic obesity has led to increased risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Objectives: (i) To evaluate the effect of a 22 weeks multidisciplinary intervention program including exercise on T2D risk in pre-adolescents with high risk to develop T2D, and (ii) To identify the profile of microRNA in circulating exosomes and in blood peripheral mononuclear cells in pre-adolescents with high risk to develop T2D and its response to a multidisciplinary intervention program including exercise.
80 children aged 5-13, BMI≥85%, will be recruited to a program for the treatment of overweight children.The intervention group will use the app "Just Dance Now" and The control group will be exposed to the usual program without the app. Measurements will be performed at the beginning of the program, the end and 3 months after completion of the intervention.
Data from participants in Athens CHIP classes from May 2011 to present will be analyzed to evaluate the differences in outcomes based on: 1) gender, 2) age, 3) whether a household member participated in the class with them. Participants had health screens before and after completing the class. The data from the health screens that will be utilized for comparison will include: body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar and lipid levels.
This study is designed to assess the effect of Gelesis100 on body weight after an additional exposure of 24 weeks in subjects who completed the 24-week treatment period, and had at least 3% weight loss, in the Gelesis Loss Of Weight GLOW, NCT02307279) study.
