Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether CP-866,087 is effective in the weight loss of overweight patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if weight loss prior to radical prostatectomy effects chemical substances in the blood stream and prostate tissue that may affect prostate cancer development and progression.
The purpose of this study is to learn how the amount of protein during moderate weight loss influences bone health. We will also examine how two levels of protein intake affects diet quality.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of weight loss on bone health in men.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether the amount of dietary protein can influence bone health during the weight loss after weight loss surgery.
The purpose of this study is to learn how the amount of vitamin D supplementation influences intestinal fractional calcium absorption (a measure of the amount of calcium absorbed).
This study will focus on maintenance of weight loss achieved in the 2007 Shape-Up Rhode Island(SURI)program. We plan to recruit 180 individuals who participated in SURI and lost at least 10 pounds to take part in a 4-month weight loss maintenance program when the SURI ends. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Education, Increased Exercise, or Daily Self-Weighing.
After a three month weight loss phase involving the use of meal replacements, participants are randomized into different weight loss maintenance conditions. Aim 1: To test the hypothesis that the meal replacement (MR) and reduced energy density eating (REDE) interventions, when added separately to the LEARN program, will produce superior weight loss maintenance compared to a LEARN-only intervention. Aim 2: To test the hypothesis that the weight loss maintenance condition that combines MRs and REDE will produce better maintenance of weight losses than either individual component and than the LEARN-only condition. Aim 3: To test the hypothesis that the two conditions receiving the REDE intervention will experience longer-lasting improvements in the energy density and nutritional composition of the diet compared to the two non-REDE conditions.
The purpose of this study is to determine if intake of whole grain foods as part of a hypocaloric diet enhances weight loss and improves cardiovascular disease risk factors in men and women with metabolic syndrome.
Obesity in children and adolescents is associated with morphologic and functional changes of the vascular wall, suggesting a potential role of juvenile obesity for the development of atherosclerosis later in life. However, no evidence from intervention studies has been provided so far that weight loss in obese children can improve vascular function. Therefore we designed this study including a cohort of obese children before and after a structured weight reduction program in order to answer the question, whether such an intervention can improve vascular function and reverse destructive vascular changes.
