NCT ID: NCT06317883 Active, not recruiting - Child Obesity Clinical Trials

Childhood Obesity Risk Assessment Longitudinal Study

CORALS
Start date: May 27, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Childhood obesity is a major public health problem worldwide. Europe has a high prevalence of obesity, which is accentuated in Mediterranean countries. Spain has a high prevalence of both overweight (percentage: 21.5 in boys and 22.2 in girls) and obesity (percentage: 10.6 in boys and 11.8 in girls) in children aged 6-9 years. From childhood, obesity is associated with an increased risk of diseases such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, musculoskeletal problems, sleep disorders and mental health problems. Obesity is a complex, multi-causal problem involving individual risk factors such as behavior and genetics. Behavioral factors include diet, physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, sleep, and others. It is therefore important to study each of the individual risk factors for obesity. There are few large sample studies in European/Spanish children and no longitudinal studies estimating the incidence of obesity in preschool children based on exposure to different risk factors, considering not only the effect of food consumption but also dietary habits and patterns. The aim of the present study is to identify risk factors for childhood obesity through long-term longitudinal follow-up.

Evaluation of Body Composition in Pediatric Patients With Overweight or Obesity

OBIASITY
Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In recent decades, the prevalence of obesity and overweight has dramatically increased globally, representing a serious problem for society and for the health system of many countries, estimating an impact of 2-8% on global health spending. Obesity and overweight represent a problem not only for adults but also for children and adolescents: the latest data from the WHO estimate that about 340 million children and adolescents between 5 and 19 years are overweight or obese, data that increase drastically since 1975 from 4% of boys to 18% in 2016. (World Health Organization (WHO). The reduction and prevention of overweight and obesity in childhood is one of the main missions of public health at the global level, both for short-term and long-term implications. Recently, the importance of bioprothesiometric analysis (BIA) in the clinical routine has been evaluated, as it allows an estimation of body composition that would not otherwise be provided by the growth curves and the calculation of the Body Mass Index (BMI). In this study the investigators want to evaluate, in addition to the classic clinical parameters, the body composition of patients evaluated by means of an impedance balance (named TANITA MC780 MA P). With this study the investigators aim to investigate possible clinical and body composition changes in children and adolescents suffering from overweight and obesity with the ultimate aim of reducing cardio-metabolic risk factors related to it. The objective of the study is the assessment of body composition, as an indicator of accuracy of lean mass, but especially of fat mass, of pediatric patients who are overweight and obesity in order to carry out a more complete evaluation of the clinical-metabolic condition for the prevention of cardiovascular risk. The secondary objective is to assess the dietary compliance of the patients being studied and the possible correlation with the body composition.

Effects of the Postbiotic Blend ABB C3 on Adiposity and Glucose Metabolism in Children and Adolescents

PostOb
Start date: March 15, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study investigates the effects of a postbiotic combination called ABB C3 on reducing body fat and improving metabolic health in children and teenagers. The study consists of a 3-month trial with half participants taking ABB C3 and the other half a placebo, monitoring body composition and blood markers. Afterward, participants can continue with ABB C3 for an additional 3 months. The goal is to determine if ABB C3 is a safe and effective way to help young people improve their health by reducing body fat.

More Outside Your Door: A Diet/Physical Activity Intervention to Decrease Risk of Obesity in Alaska Native Preschoolers

MOYD
Start date: August 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The preschool age is a crucial period of growth and an optimal time to begin to establish healthy eating and physical activity habits leading to better food and activity choices into adulthood, thereby minimizing risk for obesity-related diseases and decreasing the cardiometabolic disparities in this Indigenous population. More Outside Your Door is a multi-level, randomized, stepped-wedge intervention trial designed to reduce the disparity of childhood obesity in Yup'ik Alaska Native children by increasing the proportion of nutrient-dense traditional and traditional-like foods offered and increasing physical activity, particularly outdoor activities related to traditional Yup'ik subsistence and lifestyle practices. This 5-year intervention trial targeting 3-5 year olds is conducted in partnership with Rural Action Community Action Program Head Start programs in 12 rural Alaskan communities, where each site is assigned annually to a wedge group to receive either a community-altered culturally-tailored 8-month traditional foods and activities curriculum intervention or the standard regional Head Start program intervention.

Reach Through Equitable Implementation of Turtle Island Tales

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Reach Through Equitable Implementation of Turtle Island Tales is a family-level obesity prevention intervention that aims to reinforce AI cultural values of family interaction and holistic wellness. The long-term objective of this research program is to increase the reach of existing evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for cancer and obesity prevention among American Indian (AI) families who live in persistent poverty census tracts.

NCT ID: NCT06296407 Recruiting - Obesity, Childhood Clinical Trials

Psychophysical Analysis of Adolescent Patients With Obesity and Efficacy of the Respiratory Approach (PSICOFISADOLOB).

PSICOFISADOL
Start date: August 8, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Specifically, the project aims to pursue the following objectives: 1. To evaluate in male and female adolescents with obesity the interaction between different psycho-body aspects such as respiration - posture - self-perception and affectivity and tolerance to physical exercise; 2. To evaluate in a subgroup of male and female adolescents the effectiveness of exercises aimed at respiratory muscles and of respiratory consciousness on the parameters above indicated and on their interaction. The final objective of this project is to define and propose "take home" specific respiratory exercises to promote greater body awareness and a condition of psychophysical well-being stable over time, creating a condition that can favor further interventions on obesity. Finally, the project aims to build solid scientific bases to insert respiratory exercise among the intervention guidelines to prevent and reduce obesity, particularly youth obesity.

Reading Ability in Childhood Obesity

Lettura_evOB
Start date: December 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

There is some evidence about the negative impact of overweight and obesity on reading ability, with negative consequences on quality of life and school success. In this neuropsychological research, the relationship between the characteristics of reading abilities in individuals with obesity (age range between 11 and 16 years) and the skills of motor coordination, postural stability, manual dexterity, including graphomotor skills, and estimation of time is investigated according to the cerebellar deficit theory.
