Overweight Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Dietary Intervention on Gut Microbiome in Hong Kong Obese Population
Modern way of life characterized by decreased physical activity and poor dietary habits seems to be an important trigger for the onset of metabolic disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that the gut microbiota is involved in host metabolism by increasing energy extraction, immune system modulation, and altering lipid metabolism, which play an intricate role in metabolic disorders, such as obesity and diabetes. Diet has a major role in shaping the composition and activity of gut microbiota. Consumptions of whole-grain and polyunsaturated fatty acids are known to exert certain extent of impacts on gut microbial communities in terms of participants' richness and diversity. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the impact of dietary intervention on gut microbiome in Hong Kong obese population
1. Purpose of the Study Modern way of life characterized by decreased physical activity and
poor dietary habits seems to be an important trigger for the onset of metabolic
disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that the gut microbiota is involved in host
metabolism by increasing energy extraction, immune system modulation, and altering lipid
metabolism, which play an intricate role in metabolic disorders, such as obesity and
diabetes. Diet has a major role in shaping the composition and activity of gut
microbiota. Consumptions of whole-grain and polyunsaturated fatty acids are known to
exert certain extent of impacts on gut microbial communities in terms of the
participants' richness and diversity. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate
the impact of dietary intervention on gut microbiome in Hong Kong obese population.
2. Method of investigation
The study will last for 9 weeks. 48 eligible subjects aged 30-60 years old will be
randomly allocated into 4 groups, to 3 of which nutrition advice on healthy diets and
preferred food choices will be given while the remaining one will keep the participants'
usual diets. Dietary surveys will be conducted to reveal the participants' dietary
habits. Meanwhile, blood, stool and buccal swab will be collected to examine the effect
of dietary intervention for example, changes of composition of gut microbiota, fasting
blood glucose levels and lipid profiles as well as other metabolic indicators.
3. Approach
Subjects will be recruited via convenience sampling through internet and poster promotion.
Screening for eligible subjects will be conducted by Research staff in PolyU on phone. If the
participants are interested to join the study, the staff will explain study details and
appointments will thus be made on a first come first serve basis. The study starts upon
obtained consensus from subjects. Blood collection and testing will be outsourced to health
check centre to further confirm the eligibility of subjects.
Eligible subjects will be randomly allocated into either control or intervention groups, in
which subjects will receive dietitian consultations provided by registered dietitians. Also,
stool, blood and buccal swab samples of subjects will be collected at various time points to
examine changes of the investigators' desired parameters within the study.
