Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of BFKB8488A following subcutaneous (SC) administration in overweight and obese participants (body mass index [BMI] greater than [>] 27 to less than or equal to [</=] 40 kilograms per square meter [kg/m^2]) with markers of insulin resistance. Single ascending fixed doses of BFKB8488A will be evaluated. Participants will be randomized into 7 sequential ascending fixed-dose cohorts of BFKB8488A SC or placebo and safety reviews will be performed before escalation to higher dose cohorts. Additionally, following the ascending fixed-dose SC cohorts, a separate cohort will open to evaluate the PK of BFKB8488A after intravenous (IV) administration.
Worksites offer attractive locations for reducing the national prevalence of overweight and obesity. Interventions that are both effective and sustainable for producing long-term changes in health and employee wellness are urgently needed. In an 18-month worksite randomized controlled trial in 12 worksites, this study will test two lifestyle approaches designed to facilitate behavior modification for achieving long-term improvements in health and quality of life. Worksites randomized to the immediate intervention arm will receive the two on-site wellness programs and the randomized control sites will participate in outcomes assessments for the initial 6-month period, after which participants will receive vouchers to participate in the program of their choice. The primary focus of the worksite wellness study is to identify ways to improve health-related quality of life, with a particular focus on a decrease in cardiometabolic risk factors, including weight, improved weight-related wellness, and improved energy level in work and life. The two interventions will be separately tested against the control condition in intention-to-treat models and with a completers analysis.
The epidemic of pediatric obesity has become a public health burden in both developed and developing countries, due to its serious health consequences, including an increased risk of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and heart disease. Currently, dietary and exercise changes are still the center of preventive and treatment measures of obesity. Recently, the omega-3 group, one of the groups of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), has been associated with many positive effects leading to the improvement of many diseases related to obesity. Nevertheless, the consumption of this essential nutrient requires certain ration to optimize its favorable result. Although previous studies have examined the efficacy of dietary counseling approach as treatment for obesity, none of them as explicitly explore the use of linear programming to create a tailored diet containing high omega-3 fatty acid food as a part of dietary counseling in obesity management program among children. Thus, this study is intended to contribute the clinical evidence regarding this area of knowledge, specifically the effects of enhanced counseling containing complementary feeding recommendation on nutritional status, omega-3 fatty acid, malondialdehyde, and alpha Tocopherol among children with risk of overweight aged 12 -23 months in East Jakarta.
This study evaluates two group-based Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle interventions delivered in the workplace to individuals at risk for pre-diabetes: 1) an in-person group-based lifestyle intervention; and 2) an internet-based intervention delivered using an online platform with lifestyle coaching support. Eligible participants will be randomized equally to each intervention program (120 participants in each).
The current study seeks to elucidate the context of pathological and non-pathological eating behavior in a heterogeneous sample of overweight and obese children, aged 8-14 years. Children will undergo a two-week ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol in which they record all eating episodes and their physiological, emotional, interpersonal, and environmental correlates. Specific aims are to identify proximal antecedents and consequences of pathological and non-pathological eating in overweight and obese children, and to determine the prevalence of loss of control eating in the natural environment.
The purpose of this study is to see if perceived barriers to vegetable consumption can be overcome by making it easier for people eat more vegetables and to see if the effects last over time.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether increased dairy intake, at the level recommended by Canada's Food Guide, combined with healthy eating and exercise, will improve body composition and bone turnover over 12 weeks in overweight and obese girls.
Motivational interviewing and nutritional counseling for weight loss in primary care.
Obesity risk is shared within married couples yet most existing weight loss programs focus on individuals and not the marital dyad. This project will test the effects of a couples weight loss program that teaches spouses how to provide each other with autonomy support and create an interpersonal environment that promotes sustained behavior change.
This trial is conducted in the United States of America. The aim of the trial is to investigate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) for single doses and multiple doses of NNC0165-1562 in overweight to obese but otherwise healthy subjects.
