Filter by:Children who are above healthy weight are more likely to be ill and to miss time off school. Being overweight in childhood can also sow the seeds for health problems in later life such as heart disease and diabetes. Most overweight children become overweight adults. One solution is to try to prevent children becoming overweight by intervening very early in life. The risk factors for childhood overweight are known and this project aims to facilitate parents' (and other carers') understanding about this for their infant and to enable them to access intervention. UK health visitors (public health nurses) will use an interactive, multimedia programme (Proactive Assessment of Overweight Risk during infancy (ProAsk)), with parents to calculate their infant's risk and to discuss strategies for risk reduction as appropriate. Health visitors will be trained to communicate obesity risk and in Motivational Interviewing techniques to enable them to offer intervention to parents of infants identified as at risk. A feasibility study of ProAsk will take place in two health provider organisations in the UK. The purpose of this is to a) determine the acceptability and utility of the ProAsk intervention with health visitors and parents and b) gather information to inform the trial design and data collection procedures for a future Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT).
Objective: To compare the results of two types of low-impact exercise training, in and out of the water, with the control group, regarding cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight adolescents; and to investigate the changes resulting from interventions in biochemical, anthropometric, psychological variables and body composition. Experimental design: Randomized clinical trial with overweight and obesity adolescents. Local Search: College of Physical Education of Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre, city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Participants: Took part in the study 75 overweight and obesity adolescents, pubertal and post-pubertal, recruted by announcement in the most important newspapers of Porto Alegre city. Intervention: Adolescents that acepted to participate in the study, and authorized by their parents, were randomized into three groups: Group Land / Jump, with three weekly sessions Jump; Water / hidrogimnastic group, with three weekly sessions of hidrogminastic; Control group that not participate in physical exercise intervention. The intervention will last 12 weeks and three groups participate in weekly sessions of nutritional guidance. Assessments occur at the beginning of the intervention program and 72 hours after the 12th week of the program. The results of all study variables among the three groups in the two time points, and in each group between the two periods, will compared. Measures: Anthropometric, biochemical and blood pressure evaluations, in addition to applying instruments for assessing quality of life, body image and mental health by experienced evaluators, as well as blood draws conducted by an experienced gatherer's Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Expected Results: In the study, are been expected to verify that the exercise programs, aquatic and land, associated with nutritional guidance, are efficient to modify positively the outcomes studied.
This study will asses the decrease in body weight after repeated administration of Gelesis100 in overweight and obese subjects with and without Type 2 Diabetes.
Normal body iron store value in overweight subjects is currently not described in literature. The comparison of this value with body iron levels in patients suffering from dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome (DIOS) could allow to quantify iron overload in this condition. The purpose of the study is to determine iron levels in healthy overweight volunteers, and to compare them to DIOS patients treated with phlebotomy.
The main objective of the trial is to measure the thermogenic effect of two different doses of whey protein microgels. It will be a randomized crossover double-blind design conducted in 20 subjects.
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single doses of NNC0174-0833 in normal weight, overweight to obese but otherwise healthy male subjects.
The goal of this application is to understand the connection between people's eating habits and the risk for developing diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
This study aims to explore the effectiveness of body constitution classification based comprehensive health management intervention on obese population.
The ActiveBrains project aims to examine whether a 5-months physical exercise program has benefits on cognition and brain, as well as on selected physical and mental health outcomes in preadolescent overweight/obese children.
Objective. To evaluate the effect of the intake of two types of whole corn tortilla and one traditional tortilla on glycemic index (GI) and insulinemic index (InIn) in adults with diabetes, or overweight or clinically healthy. Material and methods. Type crossover clinical trial in adults 20-69 years. Three groups of participants will be included for each category (n = 27 in each group): 1) adults with diabetes, b) adults with overweight c) clinically healthy adults. The glycemic and insulinemic index will be measure for each group of participants given in random order the following foods: 1) a whole corn tortilla (white "criollo" corn= 5.3% fiber), 2) a whole corn tortilla (white "hybrid" corn= 7.9%), 3) a traditional corn tortilla (3.9% fiber), and 4) white bread (reference food containing 2.2% of fiber). For the calculation of GI and InIn will be follow the "FAO" methodology. For the evaluation of each food left the range of 1 week.
