Filter by:People with SCI are at higher risk of obesity and chronic diseases, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, than the general population. Researchers currently lack data on factors that influence weight gain among people with SCI. During this one-year observational study, study staff will enroll 60 individuals with SCI while they are inpatients at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation (BSWIR). Data will be collected at 3 time periods (before discharge and 6 and 12 months after discharge) in order to better understand factors that affect weight gain over the first 12 months following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, such as nutritional intake, environmental access, psychosocial factors, energy requirements and risk factors for metabolic syndrome. These data will be used to inform future interventions for people with SCI.
This research is to develop a virtual weight loss and weight maintenance program through dietary modifications for adults with obesity. Although scientific studies have shown the feasibility of rapid and safe dietary weight loss and subsequent weight maintenance, no efficacious dietary weight management program is widely available, and thus bariatric surgery remains the most reliable approach for weight loss/management. Safe and effective dietary weight loss and subsequent weight maintenance require flexible, individualized advice by an experienced dietitian/nutritionist.
A multicenter, randomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate whether health education and life style management through WeChat group chat was more effective in controlling blood glucose (BG) than standard clinic prenatal care in women with GDM.
Many people struggle not only to lose weight through changes in diet and physical activity, but also to maintain weight loss once they have achieved it. In a previous study, our team designed and deployed a weight maintenance intervention that was delivered through the patient portal of an electronic health record (EHR) and found that patients who tracked their weight, diet, and physical activity and also received coaching had better success with maintaining recent intentional weight loss than patients who tracked but did not receive coaching. The investigators propose to repeat the intervention in a new health care system and train routine health care staff (e.g., medical assistants and nurses) to be coaches, a more sustainable model that will allow ongoing intervention delivery after the proposed study ends. This is a pragmatic randomized clinical Trial with percent weight change at 24 months as the primary outcome. This will be a 2-arm randomized trial that compares the MAINTAIN PRIME lifestyle coaching intervention to a control tracking intervention.
The QUebec Adipose and Lifestyle InvesTigation in Youth (QUALITY) Cohort study is a unique and comprehensive longitudinal study of 630 Caucasian children and their parents that was designed to investigate the natural history and determinants of childhood obesity and its cardiometabolic consequences.
This is a population-based study to obtain data for the evaluation of current used recommendations for weight gain during pregnancy released by IOM (2007) and investigate the association between maternal diet and the health outcomes of mother and offspring.
