Filter by:The study will include overweight and obese otherwise healthy women, recruited from two main borough in Oslo with the highest population of Somali origin. The study comprises two phases: A 12-months controlled trial where the participants in the intervention borough will be compared to participants in the control borough. This is followed by a 12-months maintaining phase for the intervention borough where the control group will be given the same intervention as the intervention group received during the first 12-months.
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) contribute an alarming ~7% of calories in the US diet among adults, making SSBs the single largest source of added sugar. However, whether artificially sweetened beverages are a healthful alternative for reducing SSB intake among habitual SSB consumers is unknown. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a 4-arm randomized diet intervention trial to test the effects of substituting SSBs with calorie-free alternatives on body weight and health, among habitual SSB consumers with overweight/obesity.
Prospective, double-arm, multi-center cohort study on obese patients, for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy versus Roux-en Y gastric bypass
In the US, the burden of very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500 g) birth is borne disproportionately by black (non-Hispanic black/African American) mothers who are 2.2-2.6 times more likely than nonblack mothers to deliver VLBW infants. This disparity is amplified because black VLBW infants are significantly less likely to receive mother's own milk (MOM) feedings from birth until neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge than nonblack infants, which adds to the lifelong burden of VLBW birth with increased risk of morbidities and greater costs. Pumping is associated with out-of-pocket and opportunity costs that are borne by mothers, unlike donor human milk and formula, which are paid for by NICUs. This innovative trial will determine the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing the disparity in MOM feedings and provide an economic analysis of the interventions, yielding critical data impacting generalizability and likelihood of implementation of results. The investigators hypothesize that mothers who receive intervention will have greater pumping volume and duration and their infants will be more likely to receive MOM at NICU discharge compared to mothers who receive standard of care lactation care and their infants.
Among various bariatric procedures, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most frequently performed procedures worldwide. Though SG provides similar weight loss effect to RYGB in short-term follow-up, its long-term and very long-term weight loss effect was reported to be inferior to RYGB. Weight regain after SG remains the major concern after 2-year follow-up due to gradual loss of appetite suppression and lack of malabsorption function. SG plus procedures have been developed to strengthen the effect of SG on diabetes control. It has been reported that SG plus jejunojejunal bypass (SG - JJB) offered better weight loss than SG and similar weight loss to RYGB. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sleeve gastrectomy plus uncut jejunojejunal bypass (SG - uncut JJB).

The effect of caffeine on appetite and body weight is controversial. Mostly epidemiological studies exist that show either a negative effect (reduction of appetite and body weight) or no effect. In this trial we are going to study the results of the consumption of 5mgr/kgr body weight of caffeine on appetite, food consumption and hormones ghrelin, asprosin, leptin and pancreatic polypeptide in relation to gene polymorphisms that affect caffeine metabolism and body weight. Seventy subjects will participate in a cross sectional study consisting of two trials (with or without the consumption of caffeine) in order to study the aforementioned parameters. Differences of total calories consumption between fast metabolizers of caffeine and the rest of the participants is the primary outcome.
The aim of this study is find out how CBT-based weight loss program affects on eating behavior, weight loss, mood symptoms and risk for coronary heart diseases and type 2 diabetes and applicability of the program to obesity treatment among patients with comorbid depression. Our hypothesis is that the CBT-based intervention improves long-term weight management results and supports positively the change in eating behavior and the risk for CHD on type 2 DM. The study is randomized controlled one-year intervention study with 1 year follow-up. Study subjects are adult obese (BMI>35) subjects with comorbid depression. Number of randomized study subjects will be 80, 40 in intervention group, 40 in control group. Intervention group will proceed through a 52-week CBT-based weight loss group intervention. The aim of the intervention is to modify eating behavior and lifestyle factors affecting weight and weight maintenance. There will be 22 group counselling of 90 minutes divided in five modules and also three individual person-centered counselling visit, during which participants had an opportunity to discuss their personal concerns about diet and weight loss plan. Control group will receive the usual care of obesity in Kuopio University hospital. (4-8 individual 45-minute visit conducted by dieticians) Study visits are at baseline and one and 2 years after baseline. For example eating behavior, health behavior, motivation and depression are studied with questionnaires. Weight, waist circumference, height and blood pressure are measured. Laboratory tests (lipid, glucose etc) are taken.
