Filter by:This study will test the effectiveness of naltrexone/bupropion medication as a maintenance therapy for the treatment of loss-of-control eating and weight loss following bariatric surgery. This is a controlled test of whether, amongst responders to acute treatments, naltrexone/bupropion medication results in superior maintenance and longer-term outcomes compared with placebo.
The rate of overweight and obese women becoming pregnant is increasing. Obesity in pregnancy along with delivery by cesarean section in obese women is associated with several complications as compared to normal weight women. The longer the woman is pregnant, the longer she is at risk. In an otherwise low-risk pregnant woman at term, it is an ongoing clinical dilemma, whether the benefits of elective induction of labor and termination of the pregnancy will outweigh the potential harms from concomitant induction and delivery process. The proposed study is a randomized controlled study of elective induction versus expectant management in obese women. The study will be carried out as a national multicenter study with inclusion of 1900 participants from Danish delivery wards. The null hypothesis is that the caesarean section rate is similar with elective induction of labor at 39 weeks of gestation, compared with expectant management among pregnant women with pre- or early pregnancy BMI≥30.
This study will test the effectiveness of lisdexamfetamine medication as a treatment for loss-of-control eating and weight following bariatric surgery. This is a controlled test of whether, amongst non-responders to acute treatments, lisdexamfetamine medication results in superior outcomes compared with placebo.
This study will compare the effectiveness of behavioral and pharmacologic treatments, alone and in combination, for the treatment of loss-of-control eating and weight following bariatric surgery. This is an acute treatment comparing behavioral weight loss alone or in combination with combination naltrexone/bupropion medication.
This is a single-center observational study on adolescents to determine predictors of the early steps of the formation of atherosclerosis and to quantify their influence on Intima-Media-Thickness of the carotid artery and the aorta and on the Pulse-Wave Velocity. A long-term follow-up by means of record linkage is furthermore planned to evaluate the effect of early atherosclerosis and the cardiovascular risk profile on future morbidity with a special focus cardio- and cerebrovascular events.
The over-all aim of this 10-week randomized-controlled study, taking place only in Denmark, is to examine whether the PREVENTOMICS platform integrated in an e-commerce digital tool created to deliver personalized meals and dietary advices is able to produce more favorable health effects than meals based on general dietary recommendations in overweight subjects with elevated waist circumference.
This project will assess the effect of the alginate (in a capsules) on the weight of generally healthy volunteers over a 12 week period. To achieve this, will recruit 150 (non-smoking) generally healthy volunteers to attend the study centre on four separate occasions. Volunteers will be randomly allocated into active or placebo arm of the trial, both will receive capsules with the same appearance. The volunteers will have their height, weight, waist circumference, body composition, and fasting levels of circulating glucose, triacylglycerol and cholesterol measured at each for the four visits.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Noom Healthy Weight Program, a digital behavior change weight loss intervention, creates a positive relationship with food, compared to a waitlist control group.
Adipose, or fat, tissue is a plastic organ that retains the ability to expand and store excess calories during positive energy balance in humans. The capacity of subcutaneous (subQ) adipose tissue to expand and remodel is an important determinant of obesity-related health complications, and impaired expansion of subQ fat tissue is thought to contribute to the risk of diseases such as the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The objectives of the study are to evaluate the changes and mechanisms of (subQ) adipose tissue expandability that occur as a result of short-term weight gain and to investigate the effects on cardio-metabolic health outcomes. Findings from this study will provide new insight into the dynamics of adipose expansion and remodeling during changes in energy balance and how this may impact future fat tissue function and metabolic health.
The purpose of this study is to investigate dietary compositions effect on liverfat measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
