Filter by:This is a research study about how short-term exercise intervention affects adolescents with a disease called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
The objective of this study is to estimate the proportion of the recurrent deletion Δ6-8 of the LEPR gene in the homozygous and heterozygous state in pediatric cases with severe and early ( before the age of 6) obesity (BMI ≥ IOTF-30) on Reunion Island.
This study aims to evaluate if a web-based digital support system aiming to replacing or complement standardized pediatric behavioural obesity treatment. The hypothesis is that a digital system of communication between the family and the clinic can generate improved treatment results (change in BMI SDS) and reduce the number of missed visits.
Milk proteins and micronutrients could be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of obesity. The objective was to evaluate a supplement with milk proteins and multivitamins and minerals with nutrition education on anthropometry, body composition, micronutrient status, blood pressure, lipid profile, systemic inflammation, leptin and insulin resistance in obese children at baseline and after 6 months.
A total of 52 overweight children aged between eight and sixteen years will be recruited by criterion based purposive sampling to participate in the two groups pretest post test randomized clinical study. Random allocation of the eligible subjects for treatment will be done by the block randomization method with matrix of thirteen rows and four columns (13x4). The subject will be allotted to the group randomly, based on the chit selected by the person other the primary researcher.Once the block is filled, the next row block will be opened. Thus equal distribution of overweight children in the each group will be ensured. Group A will be receiving actual core stability training (Level 1 - Mat exercises and Level 2 - Swiss Ball exercises) for 6 weeks with a frequency of three sessions per week.Group B will receive no training. Each session will last for 30 minutes of duration. The static and dynamic balance, foot pressure distribution and core strength will be assessed at the baseline and at the end of the treatment sessions.
Insulin resistance is a common complication of childhood obesity. It is considered to be an important link between adiposity and the risk factor of type 2 diabetes in children. The lifestyle modifications, including a healthy diet, physical activity and weight reduction in obese children and adolescents have been proven effective in type 2 diabetes prevention and management. Although increasing evidence suggests that Mediterranean diet could be associated with decreased risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity and atherosclerosis in adults. The importance of this study is to find the effect of Mediterranean diet on insulin resistance among obese children and adolescents aged 10-16 years. Additionally, the results of the present study will help health professionals particularly dietitians in directing children with insulin resistance towards adopting healthy diet and lifestyle.
This is a randomized prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of a family-based intervention using activity-monitors (I.e. Fitbits) in children and adolescents aged 8-18 years with a BMI greater than or equal to 95%ile who attend the Cleveland Clinic multidisciplinary "Be Well" pediatric obesity clinic.
The high prevalence of childhood obesity is a major public health issue, worldwide. Childhood obesity is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular events in adulthood, but recent studies also point out the development of cardiovascular complications in childhood or adolescence justifying the need for early detection and appropriate therapeutic management to prevent the development of more severe abnormalities. This project proposes to evaluate the myocardial function in a fine and comprehensive way (longitudinal, circumferential and radial linear deformations, and rotation / torsion mechanics) from the deformation imaging (MRI and high-resolution echocardiography), in obese adolescents following a lifestyle intervention combining diet and physical activity.
According to statistics from the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO), taking into account the definition of overweight and obesity recommended by the International Obesity Task Fort (IOTF), the prevalence of overweight (including obesity) in European children aged 7 to 17 years is 16-22% and the prevalence of obesity is 4-6%. Some review studies3 and meta-analysis4,5 have reported an inverse relationship between dairy products consumption and the prevalence or incidence of overweight and obesity. However, some methodological issues arise from these analyses. For instance, the combination of studies with different exposures (e.g. full fat milk, total milk) in the total dairy product analysis. Moreover, since the publication of the lasts meta-analysis in 2016, new epidemiological studies evaluating the association between dairy product consumption and overweight or obesity risk have been published. Objective The aim of this work is to systematically review and assess the associations between total dairy consumption and its different subtypes with the prevalence and incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
Obesity treatment interventions have been studied in pediatric primary care offices and are often conducted in low-income and minority populations, and pediatric obesity clinics. Key components of programs that have been shown to be effective include parent engagement providing physical activity, nutrition and behavior education and at least 26 hours of total contact time. However, there is little guidance in the literature describing translation of successful programs into sustainable, real-world practice for uninsured children and families. To the investigator's knowledge no studies in the United States have evaluated the feasibility of implementing a fitness and nutrition program in safety net clinics where uninsured parents and their children receive health care. The objectives of this project were to design an evidence-based, family-centered fitness and nutrition program and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of implementing this program in a Volunteer in Medicine Clinic, discussing successes, challenges and lessons learned.
