Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of an acceptance-based therapy weight loss intervention compared with enhanced care for adolescents.
This study will examine race differences in total energy expenditure and respiratory quotient (RQ) during and after exercise, compared to a sedentary control condition, in adolescent girls who are classified as overweight. In addition, subjective appetite and objective energy intake will be measured throughout the assessment periods.
Within the SWEET project (EU funded), in Work Package 2 there are two phases, this study refers to Phase 1 of the SWEET WP2 project, which will be a coordinated trial across 3 intervention centres, University of Navarra (UNAV), University of Liverpool (ULIV) and University of Copenhagen (UCPH). It will involve an acute intervention in 120 individuals to explore initial acceptance, safety and post-prandial effects of 3 S&SE blends delivered in beverage format. The main endpoints of the SWEET WP2 Phase 1 study will be glycaemic and lipaemic responses; eating behavior (subjective appetite, food preference, cravings, reward), and health effects (rebound hunger, G.I. side effects and metabolic effects). This phase will be exploratory and will not involve any specific primary hypotheses.
Investigators suggest that in lean subjects cortisol increases in response to overfeeding and that this increase is blunted in obese subjects. A group of 18 male healthy lean subjects and another group of 18 male healthy obese subjects will undergo a high-calorie meal test. Prior to the meal intake, an indirect calorimetry, bioelectrical impedance, heart rate variability, a fasting blood sample and a perceived stress questionnaire will be assessed. After intake of the study meal, blood tests will be performed in order to measure the secretion of cortisol, glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammatory markers. Indirect calorimetry will be assessed again 60 and 180 minutes after the meal intake.
The First Heroes study plans to influence weight and health trajectories, modify disease risk, and improve health care services for mother-father-infant triads from racial/ethnic minority and health disparity populations. This study is a two-arm, randomized controlled trial recruiting from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) obstetrics practices. This study will enroll 250 father-mother dyads in the second trimester of pregnancy and intervene through their offspring's 1-year birthday. Each mother-father dyad participating will be randomly assigned to one of two arms: 1. Obstetric and Pediatric Standard of Care + New Parent Engagement Intervention Arm or; 2. Obstetric and Pediatric Standard of Care + Safety Control Arm.
Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) is closely related to overweight/obesity. By studying different dietary patterns (energy-limited diet vs. low-carbohydrate diet) and intensive lifestyle interventions combined with blood glucose monitoring, glucose regulation of overweight/obesity is affected. To improve the blood glucose and related metabolic indexes of patients with impaired (IGR), establish 1-2 clinical intervention programs for impaired glucose regulation.
Over half of American adults have overweight or obesity and are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Although caloric restriction has many health benefits, it is difficult to sustain overtime for most people. Time restricted eating (TRE), a novel type of intermittent fasting, facilitates adherence to the intervention and results in weight loss and improvement of metabolism. The investigators propose to examine the efficacy of self-monitoring and TRE (10-h/d) vs. self-monitoring and habitual prolonged eating duration (HABIT) (13 hours/d) on weight loss and body composition, metabolic function and circadian biology, in metabolically unhealthy adults aged 50 to 75 y old, with overweight or obesity. The investigators hypothesize that TRE, compared to habitual long duration of eating, will decrease cardiovascular risk burden.
Obesity, which is an important public health problem of the last century globally, affects not only adults but also children and young people. Reducing childhood obesity requires effective lifestyle changes and behavioral interventions aimed at healthy nutrition, physical activity and stress management. to reduce childhood obesity, including school-based multi-component behavioral research in Turkey it has not been demonstrated to parents. The program, which is planned to be carried out and aims to reduce overweight and obesity in children, is a school-based parenting lifestyle intervention involving multiple behaviors. The program includes family visits, game-based physical activity activities with children, healthy eating recommendations and healthy eating activities with parent participation. The program planned to be implemented was developed to evaluate whether healthy preferences and lifestyle intervention reduce obesity. The aim of this study is to make the positive health behaviors permanent in children, to be a guide for combating childhood obesity and to be useful for future research. to be applied to the research, nutrition consists of 10 sessions, physical activity, including issues such as coping with healthy ways with stress Child Obesity Program (COP), it is thought to overcome this deficiency was needed in Turkey.
Participants will be randomized into two groups, one group will be the control (no intervention at all) and the other will be CHO-PRO (meal replacement, Generation UCAN supplement, 400ml, 20% solution). Prior to the start of the experiment, all participants will be asked to record their satiety ratings, appetite and desire to eat (10-point visual analogue scale) 30, 60 and 120 minutes after their regular dinner for 3 days. On the first day of the experiment, all participants will be asked to measure their waist and hip circumferences, fasting blood glucose level, maximal number of pushups and body weight using a scale at home prior to breakfast. Instructions on how to do the measurements properly will be recorded in a video and distributed to the participants. Participants in the control group will not receive any intervention. Participants in the CHO-PRO group will be provided with the supplement and they will be asked to consume the CHO - protein supplement (Generation UCAN supplement, 250ml, 10% solution) 6 to 7 hours after lunch, in place of their dinner for 6 weeks. They will also be asked to record their satiety ratings, appetite and desire to eat (10-point visual analogue scale) 30, 60 and 120 minutes after each meal replacement drink. All participants will be required to complete a dietary record, prior to, and during (at weeks 2 and 4) intervention. To track adherence of the CHO-PRO group, participants will be asked to check off the calendar that they did not consume the meal replacement due to various reasons. On day 43, all participants will be asked measure again waist and hip circumferences, fasting blood glucose level, maximal number of pushups and body weight using a scale at home prior to breakfast again.
This trial studies the benefits of an exercise and diet counseling program in improving quality of life in stage I-III breast cancer survivors. Exercise and diet counseling may help improve weight loss and relevant clinical and patient-reported outcomes in overweight or obese breast cancer survivors.
