Filter by:The goal of this project is to examine the physical activity and screen-time environment of licensed childcare centers before and after the enactment of new state regulations.
The objective is to establish community priorities for strategies to improve young children's health behaviors based on focus groups of stakeholders in the greater Baton Rouge area.
Obesity is a chronic illness and multifactorial etiology, related to genetic factors, environmental and behavioral. Features association with several metabolic abnormalities in childhood, leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease in adult life. The treatment involves lifestyle change, with balanced diet guidance and encouraging physical activity. The treatment in this age group have brought limited data, in addition to high drop-out rates. A unique type of food guidance is the equivalent calorie count, where calories are converted into points. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variance of Z score of body mass index (ZIMC) of obese adolescents undergoing orientation of two groups of low-calorie diet: traditional and based on the points system, as well as evaluate anthropometric variables, body composition, food intake, metabolic changes and self-monitoring. METHODS: randomized clinical study with duration of 24 weeks, with 66 adolescents with an average age of 13.7 ± 0.7 years of both genders, with scores of BMI >= 2 to <= 4 curve adjusted for gender and age of the World Health Organization. Were verified weight, height, blood pressure and waist circumference, intensity of physical activity and self- monitoring, as well as performed the nutritional guidance to each visit. Laboratory parameters, applying the scale of binge eating, pubertal, stage and body composition were evaluated at the beginning and end of the action. The patients were divided into two groups: one that received guidance of traditional low-calorie diet and meet the food consumption record (RCA), three days (Group A) and another that received low-calorie diet guidance based on the system of points and meet the daily RCA (Group B).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether taking a combination of caffeine and albuterol three times per day will increase muscle and decrease fat in your child's body and to determine how these medications make your child feel. Albuterol is approved by the FDA for the treatment of asthma. It is not approved to increase muscle and decrease body fat in children.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether a combination of two research-proven programs, a responsive caregiving parenting program and a childhood obesity prevention program, will have an effect on toddlers' healthy nutrition and physical activity behaviors. Investigators hypothesize that the children participating in the intervention will have significantly lower BMI z-scores, lower intake of sugar sweetened beverages, and increased number of servings of fruits and vegetables, and minutes of physical activity.
The purpose of the research is to find out how well a new nutrition program works for elementary school students and their families. This program is called Brighter Bites. Brighter Bites is a school-based program that teaches students and their parents about the importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables and how to prepare them in tasty, healthy ways. This project is being carried out at six elementary schools in Houston, Texas. Up to 600 first grade students and their parents/guardians are expected to join this project.
The current study proposes to study the feasibility and acceptability of the Families Preventing Diabetes Together Intervention among 40 families who have one parent diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and at least 1 child between the ages of 5-14 years of age. Successful recruitment, measurement and randomization of patients and their families will provide data for our aim of assessing feasibility. Patient and family participation in the intervention and feedback via the post-intervention surveys will provide data for our aim of acceptability.
The primary objective of this study is to describe the pharmacokinetic profiles of VI-0521 in obese adolescents.
The objective of the project is to develop, implement and evaluate a prevention program for obesity among adolescents in Brazil combining the primary care health system implemented in the country in recent decades with primary prevention at schools.
Few treatments have been developed for young children with obesity from diverse backgrounds. The present study will develop and test an intervention designed to improve preschool obesity in Latino children. The intervention will focus on improving eating, activity, and sleep behaviors and the home environment for improved weight status.
