Filter by:This study will address the following aims: Aim 1: Conduct an 8-week pilot RCT to examine the effects of a whole foods diet intervention on body adiposity in adolescents with obesity. Aim 1a (Primary): Evaluate intervention effectiveness on total fat mass following the 8-week intervention. Hypothesis 1a: Adolescents randomized to the whole foods intervention will have lower total fat mass (kg) at the 8-week follow-up than those in the control group. Aim 1b: Evaluate intervention effectiveness on anthropometric changes following the 8-week intervention. Hypothesis 1b: Adolescents randomized to the whole foods intervention will have lower weight, BMI-z scores and/or waist circumference at the 8-week follow-up than those in the control group. Secondary Aims: Aim 2: Conduct an 8-week pilot RCT to examine the effects of a whole foods diet intervention on diet quality in adolescent and parent pairs during the study period. Hypothesis 2: Adolescents and parents randomized to the whole foods intervention will have higher diet quality scores at the 8-week follow-up than those in the control group. Aim 3: Conduct post-intervention family focus groups to identify how individual/family needs and preferences and social determinants of health (SDOH) may be perceived barriers and/or facilitators of diet adherence to a whole foods diet pattern.
This is an retrospective and prospective (ambispective) study with data collection from volunteer patients who passed an MMPI-2-RF (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured form) questionnaire in the preoperative phase of a bariatric surgery project. The evolution of their BMI will be correlated to psychological dimensions collected in patient questionnaires, before and after bariatric surgery. The presence of possible risk factors such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, quality of life, satisfaction and the perception of body, could make it possible to establish adapted therapies before surgery, in order to attenuate or eliminate the presence of these factors, and improve BMI evolution and bariatric surgery success.
The goal of this RCT is to compare percent weight change in early breast cancer who takes medical supplement or not, during treatment with chemotherapy (standard AC regimen). The main question is • the change of weight (%) before and after complete treatment of breast cancer therapy. Participants will be randomized into 2 group - intervention group - receive medical supplement daily during chemotherapy treatment. - control group - Nutritional advise during chemotherapy treatment.
The AKK formula, a prebiotic blend, can effectively promote the proliferation of A. muciniphila. In this study, we attempt to explore the clinical efficacy of AKK formula for A. muciniphila proliferation and weight management.
A multi-school, two-arm parallel cluster-randomized controlled trial will be conducted in 200 healthy young adolescents from Barcelona (Spain) to evaluate the effect of peanut consumption on cognitive performance, weight management and inflammation. Schools willing to participate will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group. After the recruitment, the participants will follow a peanut-free diet for two weeks. Both arms will receive a multidimensional educational intervention designed by the Gasol Foundation to promote healthy dietary habits based on Mediterranean diet recommendations, along with exercise performance, healthy sleeping habits and emotional knowledge. Half of the participants (intervention group) will consume 25 g of whole skin roasted peanuts as a daily snack to be incorporated into their diet for six months.
Globally, overweight and obesity have become a major health concern and are present at all ages in both developed and developing countries. Sedentary lifestyle habits lead to reduced physical activity, which reduces energy expenditure, and this, combined with excessive energy intake, increases the risk of obesity. Lack of exercise combined with a sedentary lifestyle can exacerbate obesity and chronic disease. Among all obese people, the number of obese college students shows a growing trend. Obesity among college students not only leads to impaired physical health, but may also lead to discrimination, low self-confidence and self-efficacy, and even depression. Although traditional exercise methods can help college students with weight management, many college students do not enjoy these traditional physical activities. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new form of exercise that is different from traditional exercise to get college students moving. Thus, obtaining the recommended level of physical activity. With the progress of information technology and the popularity of electronic devices, the frequency of college students using computers and mobile phones has increased. Taking advantage of college students' interest in screen games, it is a new way to control sedentary behaviours and obesity by converting static screen usage time into dynamic screen usage time. Active video games (AVGs) are a new type of video games, which require players to complete the game by interacting with the images on the screen through upper limb, lower limb, and whole-body movements. Studies have shown that playing active video games produces more energy expenditure and physical activity than sedentary video games (static games). The variety of research on AVGs is promising, but the population of participants in the studies has been mostly children and adolescents. The college student population, with a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, has a high prevalence of screen time. It is especially important to intervene with overweight and obese college students using AVG to shift their interest from screens to exercise, thereby increasing physical activity intensity. Therefore, this paper will systematically investigate the effects of AVGs on physical activity, mental health, and body composition of overweight and obese college students in China.
Obesity could become the first evitable cause of breast cancer in the near future. Due to the relatively slow rate of development in this field, greater efforts must be applied in this area. The HYPOTHESIS of this work is that "a therapy to lose weight in breast cancer women with obesity during the oncological treatment could contribute to slowing carcinogenesis, and to improve the response to the chemotherapy, survival and prevent future recurrences by erasing deleterious epigenetic marks". A group of breast cancer women with obesity (n=90) will be treated to lose weight during the oncologic treatment with a low calorie-ketogenic diet or a group educational intervention program of healthy lifestyle. The reversibility of the obesity-related breast cancer epigenetic signatures (EPIC array and pyrosequencing) and other molecular features (QRTPCR, ELISA assays) in blood leukocytes and plasma and the progression of disease will be compared with an obesity (n=30) and normalweight (n=30) group under conventional anticancer therapy. A matched-group of tumor-free women (n=60) with obesity will be also treated to lose weight with the same nutritional interventions and compared with tumor-free women with normal weight (n=30) in order to evaluate the potential preventive function of weight loss therapies on cancer-related odds. The outcomes of this project will directly benefit overweight and obese patients from healthcare systems, and also to have an economic value supporting pharmaceutical and food industry companies in the design of innovative treatments, useful biomarkers and preventive tools.
The study is a nationwide, register-based cohort survey study. The objective of this study is to investigate whether weight change is associated with the incidence of persistent postoperative pain following total hip arthroplasty and knee arthroplasty across non-obese and obese and patients.
The study involved 30 regular exercisers and 33 non-exercisers. Food records were collected five times: before the holiday season, before Ramadan, during Ramadan, during Ramadan Feast, and after Ramadan Feast, including the Eid al-Adha period. Anthropometric measurements were taken before and after holidays: initially before Ramadan and again after Eid al-Adha. Physical activity was recorded for both groups: once before Ramadan for non-exercisers and twice (on exercise and rest days) for exercisers.
Assessment of body weight change among prisoners in Martinique between admission in jail and 3 months later expressed as a percentage of admission weight. Intensity of physical activities, nutrition intakes and psychological state are also studied to describe associated factors to body weight change.
