Filter by:This pilot study will assess the feasibility of a gratitude intervention to promote physical activity, and well-being and positively impact biomarkers of health among older African American breast cancer survivors. The intervention will also include a goal-setting component to promote exercise readiness and examine the cultural phenomena of the Superwoman schema among Black women.
This study will provide nutrition counseling via FaceTime on an iPad to persons with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) who are overweight or obese and are at least one-year post-injury. Nutrition counseling may help participants to develop eating behaviors that match the participants' needs and help improve heart health. The purpose of this project is to decrease the risk of complications like obesity, high cholesterol, or diabetes, and explore associations between bowel and bladder function and nutrition. This study will require 3 in person visits that are about 3 months apart. The total length of the study is about 6 months and includes 3 months of telenutrition counseling.
The aim of the CArdioMetabolic Prevention (CAMP) pilot study is to investigate the effect of a group intervention on lifestyle in adolescents and on at least one adult family member. This will be followed by telemedicine tools for 12-week-time period. A face-to-face group intervention addressing nutrition, physical activity and well being together with an assessment of anthropometry parameters, body composition, questionnaires, blood and stool sampling will be done before and after 12 weeks of telemedicine. The study aims to investigate: - the effect of 12-week intervention on body weight, anthropometry parameters and cardiometabolic markers in comparison to the conventionally led obesity clinic for adolescents - the compliance with telemedicine tools that will focus on the support of balance nutrition, physical activity (evaluation of daily steps through smart bands) and family well being in regards to the effect on anthropometry and laboratory parameters - the effect of the intervention on data from questionnaires (eating disorders, quality of life, psychological health) before and after the intervention - data analysis of family members with respect to theirs offspring
In Spain, obesity epidemic is one of the leading contributors of chronic disease and disability. Obesity is associated with higher morbidity and all-cause mortality risk especially when fat is stored in the abdominal area (i.e., increased visceral adipose tissue, VAT). Although current approaches such as energy restriction may be effective at reducing body fat and improving cardiometabolic health, their long-term adherences are limited. Time-restricted eating (TRE; e.g., 8 hours eating: 16 hours fasting on a daily basis) is a recently emerged intermittent fasting approach with promising cardiovascular benefits. Results from pioneering pilot studies in humans are promising and suggest that simply reducing the eating time window from ≥12 to ≤8-10 hours/day improves cardiometabolic health. However, currently, there is no consensus regarding whether the TRE eating window should be aligned to the early or middle to late part of the day. The EXTREME study will investigate the efficacy and feasibility of three different 8 hours TRE schedules (i.e., early, late and self-selected) over 12 weeks on VAT (main outcome) and cardiometabolic risk factors (secondary outcomes) in adults with overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity. The final goal of the EXTREME study is to demonstrate the health benefits of a novel and pragmatic intervention for the treatment of obesity and related cardiometabolic risk factors; an approach readily adaptable to real-world practice settings, easy for clinicians to deliver, and intuitive for patients to implement and maintain in their lives.
Intermittent fasting is a method of restricting calories over a defined period of time and includes regimens such as whole-day fasting, alternate-day fasting, and time-restricted feeding. There is emerging evidence that intermittent fasting or energy restriction might be more beneficial than continuous energy restriction for some risk factors. The effect of intermittent fasting on risk factors associated with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, however, is not clear. The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) has yet to make any recommendations regarding the role of intermittent fasting in the management of diabetes. To inform the update of the EASD Clinical Practice Guidelines for Nutrition Therapy, tthe Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the EASD has commissioned a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the effect of different intermittent fasting strategies on established cardiometabolic risk factors. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will shape guide current guidelines and improve health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, and by guiding future research design.
Coronary heart disease is one of the United Kingdom's biggest killers. In the UK alone 175,000 myocardial infarctions are recorded annually. To lower the financial burden on the National Health Service, cardiac rehabilitation facilitates a systematic and multidisciplinary approach to secondary prevention aimed to improve functional capacity and health-related quality of life, lower rehospitalisation rates and reduce all-cause and cardiovascular mortality with exercise training being the cornerstones. The effectiveness of Cardiac rehabilitation programmes in delivering effective secondary prevention has long been established. Improvements are recorded in cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, balance, co-ordination, and quality of life. However, many patients see little or no change in body mass and body mass index, an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. Interestingly, the inclusion of nutrition education is rarely reported within specific Cardiac rehabilitation settings, therefore evidence of best practice remains elusive and warrants further investigation. The aim of this trial is to compare: - Usual care - Where patients access to two exercise classes per week and all facilities normally available as part of their cardiac rehabilitation programme. Patients in this group will undergo this approach for 12-weeks. - Usual care + Biggest loser - In addition to Usual care, patients in this group took part in the 'Biggest loser' program in which the patients attended weekly sessions outside of their usual exercise class times. Each session follows a specific theme based on British Heart Foundation healthy eating guidelines. Participants will undergo this approach for 6-weeks and then switch to usual care for 6-weeks. - Usual care + New Education programme. In addition to Usual care, the same weekly topics as the biggest loser are covered yet with bespoke information regarding portion sizes and recipes provided each week and patients given a challenge each week in relation to the topic being covered e.g. include more vegetables. Participants will undergo this approach for 6-weeks and then switch to usual care for 6-weeks. Patients will be tested at baseline, 6-weeks and 12-weeks.
This is a national-level research study of primary care physicians. The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical evaluation and management (drug, procedures, counseling and other) of a subset of common patient care indications.
The aim of this study is to determine the role and efficacy of β-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan (Polysaccharide Peptide) from mycelia extract of Indonesia's Ganoderma lucidum as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent on cardiometabolic syndrome
Cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated diseases combined are the leading health burden and cause of mortality worldwide; therefore, the necessity for an intervention is paramount. Dietary interventions to improve cardiometabolic health are highly sought after as they possess less risk than pharmacological drugs. Previous non-randomized interventions have shown that oral peppermint may be beneficial in improving cardiometabolic outcomes. However, to date, no research has explored this using a placebo randomized intervention. Therefore, the primary purpose of the proposed investigation is to test the ability of oral peppermint oil supplementation to improve cardiometabolic parameters in healthy individuals.
COVID-19 pandemic has made a tremendous impact on Indonesian economic and health care system especially with the double burden of diseases facing by Indonesia as a developing country. The prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, type diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases is increasing. These diseases along with older age have been known as an established risk factors for higher mortality and severe clinical disease entity in COVID-19 infection. Although, there is still some part of patients with these co-morbidities that only present with mild symptoms when infected with SARS-CoV-2, even for some without any symptoms. Thus, it would be very interesting to evaluate how are these role of aging and cardiometabolic parameters in the clinical disease course of COVID-19 infection, and how are the relationship with the immune system.
