Filter by:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common disorders which occured during pregnancy. GDM is not only associated with short-term maternal and fetal adverse outcomes, but also related to a wide range of long-term consequences for both mother and child. The GDM and Its Consequences for mothers and offsprings (GDMCMO) aims to establish a cohort to follow both maternal and offsprings'short-term and long-term outcomes, including fetal malformations including congenital heart diseases, birth weight, preterm birth, caesarean section delivery, body growth and neurodevelopment after birth, obesity, type 2 diabetes and impaired insulin sensitivity and secretion, lung health and allergic diseases later in life for offspring, as well as future type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors for mother after delivery. Biological samples including blood and tissue samples of mothers and children are also collected during pregnancy and after delivery.
The main purpose of the present study is to perform a 10 weeks dietary intervention study with a follow-up for 52 weeks in children from 7-14 years of age with overweight or obesity. In a caloric restricted and increased physical activity setting the control group will consume a low-moderate protein (15E%/day) diet whereas the intervention group will consume a higher protein (25E%/day) diet. Furthermore, the investigators want to investigate the effect of frequent follow-up after intervention. Compared to the low-moderate protein diet, the investigators hypothesis that a diet with higher consumption of protein-containing foods will more effectively induce weight loss (a reduction in BMI-SDS) or weight maintenance in children with overweight or obesity, and improve risk factors for type 2 diabetes and Quality of Life.
Childhood obesity and related long-term effects are serious public health problems, but not all children with obesity do well in treatment. This study will test a new combination of family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) with a drug intervention using a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) exenatide once weekly extended-release (ExQW, Bydureon®) in order to improve obesity intervention outcomes in 10-12-year-old children.
The aim of this study is to identify polymorphisms that make children and adolescents more prone to obesity and metabolic dysfunction, as well as to identify biomarkers that are linked to causes and consequences of obesity.
ENTREN-F Programme describes a novel structured psychosocial family-based intervention from Primary Care using a train trip metaphor aimed at improving healthy lifestyles for the whole family. It is oriented to children aged 8-12 years old who have overweight or obesity. The ENTREN-F intervention lasts 6 months and consists in 12 biweekly 2-h2 sessions in group, following a multidisciplinary perspective. The main aim is to examine the efficacy of the intervention program 'ENTREN-F' (intervention for children plus family intervention) on anthropometrics, behaviour, psychological and family factors, from a multidisciplinary perspective, compared with another group participating in the same program 'ENTREN' (intervention for children without family intervention) and with a control group (usual treatment) among Spanish children with overweight and obesity. Finally, (2) the second aim was to evaluate whether the changes were maintained 6, 12 and 18 months after the end of the intervention. Hypothesis The specific hypotheses of the present study were as follows: (a) There will be significant differences in the adherence to treatment, being higher in the ENTREN-F group (b) There will be improvements in clinical outcomes regarding the anthropometric variables of the child, the level of physical activity, psychological distress, and eating disorder of the child, after both interventions (ENTREN and ENTREN-F programme), in comparison to control group (d) There will be only improvements in clinical outcomes regarding in the family's healthy life-style, psychological distress of the parents, and the family environment, after the intervention of the ENTREN-F programme. (e) The significant changes produced will remain stable at the 6,12 and 18-month follow-up in the ENTREN-F group.
Obesity, which is an important public health problem of the last century globally, affects not only adults but also children and young people. Reducing childhood obesity requires effective lifestyle changes and behavioral interventions aimed at healthy nutrition, physical activity and stress management. to reduce childhood obesity, including school-based multi-component behavioral research in Turkey it has not been demonstrated to parents. The program, which is planned to be carried out and aims to reduce overweight and obesity in children, is a school-based parenting lifestyle intervention involving multiple behaviors. The program includes family visits, game-based physical activity activities with children, healthy eating recommendations and healthy eating activities with parent participation. The program planned to be implemented was developed to evaluate whether healthy preferences and lifestyle intervention reduce obesity. The aim of this study is to make the positive health behaviors permanent in children, to be a guide for combating childhood obesity and to be useful for future research. to be applied to the research, nutrition consists of 10 sessions, physical activity, including issues such as coping with healthy ways with stress Child Obesity Program (COP), it is thought to overcome this deficiency was needed in Turkey.
Active video games are presented as an exercise option for children with little interest in traditional sports. The main objectives of this study are: 1. To evaluate the effects of an active video game program on cardiometabolic risk in overweight/obese children 2. to identify the effect of this intervention on physical fitness 3. to study possible changes in the sedentary lifestyles of children after the exercise program. This is a randomized crossover study, with 2 intervention periods of 9 months each, and a 3-month period of washing. Ninetytwo children between 9 and 11 years old who are overweight or obese will be included and randomly assigned to one of the 2 homogeneous groups (control-intervention). Both groups will receive education in healthy lifestyles, and the intervention group will also follow a physical exercise program with active video games (3-4 days/week). The sessions will last between 30 and 45 minutes and will include different moderate-vigorous aerobic activities and muscular strength exercises. Body composition, physical fitness, levels of leptin, adiponectin and visfatin, lipid and ferric profiles, and markers of inflammation and metabolic risk such as insulin resistance, TNF-α, CRP, ALT, AST, gamma-GT and IL-6will be measured before and after the intervention. In addition, dietary habits (24h recalls), physical activity (accelerometers), blood pressure, waist and neck circumference, and pubertal development will be also assessed.
This is a research study about how short-term exercise intervention affects adolescents with a disease called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
This study aims to evaluate if a web-based digital support system aiming to replacing or complement standardized pediatric behavioural obesity treatment. The hypothesis is that a digital system of communication between the family and the clinic can generate improved treatment results (change in BMI SDS) and reduce the number of missed visits.
A total of 52 overweight children aged between eight and sixteen years will be recruited by criterion based purposive sampling to participate in the two groups pretest post test randomized clinical study. Random allocation of the eligible subjects for treatment will be done by the block randomization method with matrix of thirteen rows and four columns (13x4). The subject will be allotted to the group randomly, based on the chit selected by the person other the primary researcher.Once the block is filled, the next row block will be opened. Thus equal distribution of overweight children in the each group will be ensured. Group A will be receiving actual core stability training (Level 1 - Mat exercises and Level 2 - Swiss Ball exercises) for 6 weeks with a frequency of three sessions per week.Group B will receive no training. Each session will last for 30 minutes of duration. The static and dynamic balance, foot pressure distribution and core strength will be assessed at the baseline and at the end of the treatment sessions.
