Filter by:In this study, at least 400 women with high-risk of pregnancy hypertension will use a wearable device to monitor the blood pressure during gestational age from 12 weeks to 28weeks. The observed outcomes including maternal and offspring. Participants were from three hospital including Shanghai Xinhua Hospital, Jiaxing Maternal and Child Health Hospital and Peking University Third Hospital. Pregnant women were randomly divided into control group (routine delivery examination group) and intervention group (routine delivery examination group + use of wearable blood pressure monitoring device group), 200 cases each.
This trial is conducted in China. The purpose of the 24-week trial is to investigate the efficacy of henagliflozin to induce body weight loss and the purpose of the extension is to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of henagliflozin in obese subjects without diabetes. Trial has the following two periods: 1) A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial for evaluating the efficacy of henagliflozin to induce body weight loss; 2) A 12-week multicenter randomized controlled open-label trial for evaluating the hypoglycemic effect of henagliflozin followed by a 24-week extension period.
This study aims to conduct a feasibility trial to examine the feasibility and acceptability of conducting a randomized controlled trial that evaluates the effect of the weight management intervention on anthropometric measures (body weight and BMI), dietary quality, physical activity levels, physical and psychosocial functioning, self- efficacy for weight loss and quality of life.
The incidence of childhood obesity is increasing, followed by metabolic diseases related to overweight and obesity in children. High intensity interval training (HIIT) has recently been shown to improve the body composition and cardiovascular health of obese children. Currently, there is little evidence on the impact of exercise intensity on endocrine and metabolic indicators and quality of life in obese children. The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of short-term supervised high-intensity interval training and moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) on metabolic indicators in obese children under an energy limited balanced diet. A multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted on 388 obese children in South China. The experimental group will be randomly assigned to (1) HIIT and energy limited balanced diet, and (2) MICT and energy limited balanced diet. The experimental group will participate in a 3-month (supervised) exercise training. The measurement of the study endpoint will be followed up at baseline, 3 months (after supervised intervention), 9 months, and 1 year. The primary endpoint is the percentage of weight loss (△ Wt%). Secondary endpoints include waist to height ratio, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), insulin secretion index (ISI), and Δ HtSDSBA. The results of this study will generate a wealth of information on the impact of exercise intensity on weight loss and endocrine metabolism in obese children, and develop more effective evidence-based exercise prescription guidelines in this population.
In this prospective, non-randomized, monocentric study, data will be collected from otherwise healthy individuals with overweight/obese grade I to increase data availability in the pre-diabetes field (impaired glucose intolerance), and to validate the outputs of an algorithm for the "physics-informed machine learning (PIML)" designed to estimate the real-time risk of prediabetes. Each participant will take part in the study for 4 months, including 3 onsite visits. During the screening visit, participants' eligibility will be determined by checking the inclusion and exclusion criteria after detailed information and obtaining informed consent by the investigator. Blood will be withdrawn for exclusion of existing prediabetes/diabetes at the fasted state. For women in reproductive age, a urinary pregnancy test will be performed. After getting the results of blood tests (glucose and HbA1c), participants will be asked to participate in study. On the visit 1, eligible participants will arrive at the study centre in a fasting state. Blood samples will be collected and participants will get vials and instructions for collection of stool and urine samples. Anthropometric data, lifestyle habit (cigarette, alcohol consumption) and family history will be collected. A 6-minute walking test to determine VO2 max will then be performed. Participants will receive a blinded Abbott Libre Pro glucose sensor, which they will wear for the next 14-days. Further, participants will be provided with a Fitbit Charge 5 health and fitness wristband. For validation purposes some part of study participants will be kindly asked to test newly develop wrist-worn device (EDIBit). With the help of 24-hour food recall, study subjects will be trained by medical staff on how to correctly enter their food intake in the Study app for completion of digital 3-day food diaries. They will be asked to fill in the diaries for 3 days after study visit1 and 3 days before study visit2. They will also receive a food frequency questionnaire during visit1. The second study visit will run nearly identical to study visit1 (except for food frequency questionnaire which will be omitted). During this visit, participants will receive information sheets on physical activity and dietary recommendations. The third and last visit will run nearly identically to the study visit2, except that no new glucose sensor will be inserted and also stool samples will not be collected.
A quasi-experimental design (i.e., "One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design") will be applied among 40 convenient samples of undergraduate students in their first year of nutrition sciences program at Ariel University and Tel-Hai College. The intervention will take place at the simulation centers of the institutions. All participants will be asked to wear an obesity simulation suit (Unisex obesity Simulation suit, Erler-Zimmer, Germany) and to participate in a standardized scenario that simulates meetings between a person with obesity and a 'registered dietitian'. The 'registered dietitian' will be presented by a professional role-player and the scenario will encompass different levels of weight bias. At baseline, 1- and 3-week post-intervention both groups will be asked to fill in a survey using "Qualtrics" software. The survey will include the Anti-Fat Attitudes questionnaire (AFA), the Short-Form of Fat-Phobia scale (F-scale), the Weight-Implicit Association-Test (weight-IAT), and the Jefferson Scale of Empathy. Data on demographics, weight history, and perception, measurement of actual weight and height, and the beliefs about the causes of obesity questionnaire will be collected at baseline.

Background: Time restricted eating (TRE) is a form of fasting in which a person eats only during a set window of time, which is usually between 4 and 10 hours each day. Researchers want to know more about how TRE may affect health. Objective: To learn how TRE affects women with different body sizes. Eligibility: Healthy women aged 18 to 50 years. Design: Participants will have 2 visits: 1 screening visit and one 5-day stay in the clinic. Participants will fast before both visits. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will talk to a nutritionist about the foods they eat. They will lay under a clear hood for up to 45 minutes during a test that measures how many calories they burn while resting. Participants will keep a food diary for up to 7 days before their clinic stay. They will apply a continuous glucose monitor the day before they go to the clinic. This is a device that attaches to the skin of the stomach. They will wear this device throughout their clinic stay. All meals will be provided during the clinic stay. Participants will follow TRE on 3 days. They will answer survey questions and have tests during their stay, including: - DXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan. Participants will lie on a padded table. Their body will be scanned to measure how much muscle, bone, fat, and other tissues they have. - Stable isotope tracer study. Small amounts of sugar and other substances will be given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Blood samples will be collected.
Clinical studies, with a distinct focus on weight loss, play a crucial role in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of novel treatments. These trials serve as instrumental means to determine whether new medications surpass conventional therapies, providing substantial evidence for their broader adoption. The primary objective is to meticulously scrutinize trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals within this specific patient group.
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.
