Filter by:Brief Summary: This randomized clinical pilot will test the feasibility of having individuals self-monitor for 12 weeks and based on what the participants record be given feedback messages. The investigator will use this information to refine the questions and data collection procedures for the larger study. Participants will be randomized into 3 groups - self-monitoring only - self-monitoring w/ feedback messages - self-monitoring w/feedback messages and group sessions Feedback messages will be delivered up to 4 times per day using a different schedule. The group sessions will be held in the 2nd, 4th and 8th week of the 12-week study. All participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and 2 assessment visits at baseline and 12 weeks.
Background: Researchers are testing new methods for research projects. They want to see how people respond to different types of communication, including videos. They also want to learn how people respond to life events and how they pay attention to computer tasks. They want to learn about how various risks and threats affect the way people make decisions. Objectives: To learn how different stimuli and events affect the way people make decisions. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with a U.S. computer address Design: Participants will be recruited online. Participants will take one of three studies online. Each study will take about a half hour. Participants in Study 1 will watch a short video from a popular movie then answer questions. They will also complete 2 questionnaires. One will be about how likely they think it is that they will experience different risks and threats. The other will be about goals for behavior change. Participants in Study 2 will write in detail about a life event. Then they will answer questions. They will also complete the same 2 questionnaires as Study 1. Participants in Study 3 will pay close attention to words and images on a computer. They will answer questions about attitudes toward different behaviors, products, and experiences. ...
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the community-based obesity treatment (PP), compared to usual care (UC), on changes in maternal weight over 12 months.
A prospective, multicenter, open-label, post-approval study of the safety and effectiveness of ORBERA™ as an adjunct to weight reduction for obese adults (22 years of age and older) with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥ 30 kg/m2 and BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2
Obese and overweight children or teens can join the Prevention and Care of Pediatric Obesity and Pediatric Diabetes Organization of Mulhouse. Those patients who are no longer able to exercize because of their physical condition start an effort rehabilitation program at the Organization. The study will evaluate the impact of this rehabilitation program on quality of life and appetency to physical activity for these children and teens.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the effect and safety of long-term intake of enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ), a natural plant product on body fat loss in obese and overweight individuals.
This is a four year project evaluating the effectiveness of a group-based lifestyle intervention (PeerFIT) supported by mobile health (mHealth) technology and social media compared to Basic Education in fitness and nutrition supported by a wearable Activity Tracking device (BEAT) in achieving clinically significant improvements in weight loss and cardiorespiratory fitness in young adults with serious mental illness (SMI).
Overweight and obesity are public health problems worldwide. Even though heredity may be one of the causes the diseases, the vast majority of cases is rather linked to a sedentary lifestyle associated or not with a low-variety, high-calorie diet. Many diets and slimming methods propose low-calorie meals or physical exercise, and the consequences of these are sometimes negative with advancing age (muscle wasting). Certain studies have shown the efficacy of foods with antioxidant properties on the reduction of blood pressure, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and weight or on the distribution of fat mass-lean mass. The investigators put forward the hypothesis that the daily consumption of two yoghurts containing XXS, a mixture of natural polyphenolic compounds -rich in quercetin- from plant extracts, could lead to weight loss, a better fat mass-lean mass distribution and an improvement in markers of oxidative stress in overweight persons aged 50 to 65 years.
This is an observational study of cardiovascular risk factors and arterial or cardiac function in subjects with overweight or obesity. Subjects must be between 30 and 65 years of age, have a body mass index >27.0 kg/m2 and free from known heart disease and digestive or psychiatric disorders. Study aims include identifying sex-differences in traditional cardiovascular risk factors and structural and functional abnormalities in arteries and the heart in subjects with overweight or obesity, and how this is influenced by physical fitness.
Unhealthy lifestyles in early childhood are a major global health challenge. These lifestyles often persist from generation to generation and contribute to a vicious cycle of health-related and social problems. We present a study protocol that examines the effectiveness of two novel, integrated healthy school interventions. One is a full intervention called 'The Healthy Primary School of the Future', the other is a partial intervention called 'The Physical Activity School'. These intervention approaches will be compared with the regular school approach that is currently common practice in the Netherlands. The main outcome measure will be changes in children's body mass index (BMI). In addition, lifestyle behaviours, academic achievement, child well-being, socio-economic differences, and societal costs will be examined.
