Filter by:This randomized controlled trial tests the efficacy of a culturally and linguistically appropriate, evidence-based intervention to slow weight gain or promote weight loss among overweight 6-9 year old Mexican-American children.
The hypothesis is that seafood proteins given in combination with carbohydrates with low GI are superior to seafood proteins in combination with carbohydrates with high GI and meat in combination with both carbohydrates with low and high GI in promoting energy expenditure and satiety. The overall objective of this study is to investigate the acute effects of meals containing fish versus meat proteins on energy balance (thermogenesis, appetite regulating hormones and appetite sensations), markers of glucose allostatis and amino acid metabolism.
The purpose of this study is to estimate antihypertensive effect of azilsartan medoxomil (Edarbi®) therapy on blood pressure in participants with overweight or obesity in routine clinical practice of hypertension (HTN) treatment in the Russian Federation and in the Republic of Kazakhstan..
The HEPAFIT Study aims to examine whether a 6-months physical education program has benefits on hepatic metabolism and cardiovascular health as well as on selected physical fitness and mental health outcomes among adolescent overweight/obese from Bogota, Colombia.
Overweight and obesity causes low-grade systemic inflammation, which sharply increases risk for iron deficiency. Studies in our laboratory have shown that this is mainly the result of reduced dietary iron absorption because of increased hepcidin concentrations. During pregnancy, women have a large increase in iron needs because of the expansion of maternal blood volume and fetal needs. Iron deficiency anemia in infancy can impair cognitive development. Whether maternal adiposity impairs absorption and transfer of iron to the fetus, and thereby increases risk of iron deficiency in the mother and the infant is unclear.
The study will evaluate whether a technology-based lifestyle intervention program using primarily a smartphone platform is an acceptable and effective way for treating obesity. The goal of the program is to achieve weight loss and enhance the health of overweight or obese subjects by improving their diet and activity via smartphone applications as compared with conventional in-person weight management programs.
Mexican American women have significantly elevated rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The proposed study tests a novel intervention that capitalizes on an existing important family dyad (mothers and their adult daughters) to foster clinically significant and long-lasting health behavior change. If found to effective, this intervention strategy has great potential to address health disparities in this, and other, at-risk populations.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a social support-enhanced, technology-based, behavioral weight control intervention can improve weight loss over existing best practices.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effects of liraglutide on gallbladder emptying in overweight and obese subjects.
Several studies have shown relationship between exercise intensity and improvement cardiometabolic health such as body composition, endothelial function, blood pressure and blood lipids. It has been suggested that high intensity interval training and also strength or resistance training generate positive effects on metabolic risk factors, nevertheless the comparison between both types of training and their combination has not yet provided conclusive evidence. Also, it has been shown that dietary restriction has similar or more positive effects that exercise alone and the effect is greater when it is combined with exercise. For these reasons, it is necessary to clarify which type of training, in combination with a dietary restriction, is more effective to improve cardiometabolic health
