Effects of Probiotic and HIIT in Obese Women

Start date: October 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are the additive effects when implementing both high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and probiotics simultaneously on improving cardiorespiratory endurance and metabolism in middle-aged women.

NCT ID: NCT05864820 Recruiting - Anthropometry Clinical Trials

Photogrammetric Scan System for Body Composition Analysis

Start date: April 18, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This observational study evaluates the goodness of the IGOODI photogrammetric scan system in measuring anthropometry and estimating the body composition of 75 healthy subjects, comparing the results with the measurements taken using methods used in clinical practice, including body circumferences and bioimpedance analysis.

NCT ID: NCT05403294 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Impact of New Anthropometric Indices on Outcomes After Cardiac Surgery

Start date: July 27, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Obesity is associated with a number of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Body mass index (BMI) is the most commonly recommended and used anthropometric measure to classify general obesity in clinical and epidemiological studies. It is widely accepted that obesity increases the risk of heart disease and is thought to be a risk factor for adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery. However, recent studies show paradoxical results, wherein obese patients can experience fewer adverse events and lower mortality than patients with normal-low body mass index(BMI) . The discriminative capacity of BMI has been criticized because it cannot distinguish muscle mass from fat mass, or reflect fat distribution . Alternatively, abdominal obesity indices, such as waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), have been suggested to be better predictor of cardiometabolic abnormalities because they modulate the limitation of BMI. However, they were insufficient in studies.For this reason, scientists turned to find a new anthropometric formula that could better detect obesity-related mortality and morbidity and they developed 2 new methods. Body Shape İndex (ABSI) is calculated using waist circumference, BMI and height parameters. Body Roundness İndex (BRI) is calculated using waist circumference and height parameters. These new indices may reflect visceral adiposity and strongly predict cardiovascular risk, postsurgical outcomes and resource utilisation.

NCT ID: NCT04969588 Recruiting - Body Composition Clinical Trials

Kinect Equations for Body Indices and Body Composition

Start date: September 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This perspective observational study will recruited 240 participants for investigating the feasibility of using Microsoft Azure Kinect developer kit as a method for body indices and body composition. Reference methods will be dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and bioelectrical impedance analysis.

NCT ID: NCT04860479 Completed - Pediatrics Clinical Trials

Evaluation of a Femoralis, n Femoralis and m Iliopsoas Tendon Sonoanatomy According to Age Groups in Children

Start date: April 26, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study aims to examine the sonoanatomy of the inguinal region in children according to age groups.

NCT ID: NCT04600024 Completed - Anthropometry Clinical Trials

Pelvic and Hip Morphometry in Piriformis Syndrome

Start date: April 20, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In this case-control study, 23 patients diagnosed as PS by diagnostic injection with ultrasound guidance were selected as the study group. 22 patients who were excluded from the diagnosis of PS and had anteroposterior (AP) direct radiographic imaging were evaluated as the control group. On the AP Pelvic graph, the femoral neck-shaft angle, the distances between predetermined bony landmarks were measured blindly without knowing the diagnosis, and the findings were compared statistically. This study aims to evaluate whether the anatomical structure of the pelvis predisposes to the etiopathogenesis of the piriformis syndrome.

NCT ID: NCT04070638 Completed - Anthropometry Clinical Trials

Within and Between-rater Reproducibility and Validity of a Novel Portable Laser Height Meter

Start date: August 26, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Height may be used to calculate body mass index and reference interval for normal lung function, together with serving as an indicator for possible vertebral fractures in osteoporosis and growth retardation in children. Height is typically measured using the "gold standard" a fixed stadiometer in a clinical setting. However, newer studies have investigated alternative ways of measuring height using portable measuring devices with laser distance metres. The advantage with this type of measure is the ability to potentially perform reliable measure in settings outside clinical controlled settings. Recently, a measuring device which required adjustments of measuring axes by hand was developed, which resulted in a measurement error of 0.35 cm compared with 0.20-0.30 cm in fixed stadiometers. In order to optimise this, it was suggested that future measuring devices using laser distance meters should be fixed in one or more measurement axes. Thus, a novel portable height device, which is fixated in two axes using a laser distance metre has been developed.

NCT ID: NCT03982056 Not yet recruiting - Lung Function Clinical Trials

Float First: An Index of Floating: Factors Affecting Floating in Different Populations

Start date: July 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study involves measurements of body composition using a DEXA scanner, lung function, buoyancy and floating technique. An understanding of the effects of physiological and anthropometric measures on an individual's ability to float may lead to the creation of a 'Floatability Score' to aid current public information. With this floatability score a set of actions that people of certain body types should adopt in water will be created, to tailor the current public safety messaging in an attempt to ensure more people are aware of how they can float in water

NCT ID: NCT03335644 Recruiting - Exercise Clinical Trials

The NutriNet-Santé Study

Start date: May 11, 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The NutriNet-Santé study was set up to investigate nutrition and health relationships. Specifically, it was the first web-based cohort worldwide on such a large scale (n=171 000 as of 2021) focused on the complex link between nutrition and health status. It is characterized by a very detailed assessment of nutritional exposure and dietary behavior. https://etude-nutrinet-sante.fr/ https://info.etude-nutrinet-sante.fr/en
