NCT ID: NCT02144402 Completed - Infant Development Clinical Trials

Growth of Healthy Term Infants Fed Formula Containing DHA-B

Start date: May 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective is to determine if the weight gain of healthy term infants fed a commercially available term infant formula supplemented with DHASCO® is similar to that of infants fed the same formula supplemented with a new product, DHASCO®-B.

NCT ID: NCT02098031 Completed - Growth Clinical Trials

Improving the Nutrition Status of Infants in South-Western Uganda

Start date: March 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Undernutrition and growth restriction due to poor diet and inadequate nutrient intake continues to be a global challenge, particularly in the developing countries including Uganda. The etiology of inadequate nutrient supply to infants may relate to lack of resources or knowledge or a combination of both. Poor nutrient intake and impaired growth may affect brain and cognitive development. This study aims to evaluate nutrient intake, growth and cognitive function among children between 6 and 36 months living in the fertile Kabale and Kisoro region in south-western Uganda. The investigators hypothesize that nutrition education to mothers can bring about improved dietary intake and nutritional status among children aged 6-36 months. A follow-up study is planned for the period January 2019 - December 2022.

NCT ID: NCT02056275 Completed - Growth Clinical Trials

A Study of an Oral Nutrition Supplement (ONS) in Children.

Start date: August 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To assess the effect of oral nutritional supplementation with dietary counseling versus dietary counseling alone on growth of preschool children over a period of 90 days.

NCT ID: NCT01892098 Completed - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

Zinc and Bone Turnover Study in Adolescent Females

Start date: February 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of zinc supplementation on bone growth over four weeks. Participants will agree to attend two visits to our laboratory and at each will complete blood and urine samples, questionnaires related to diet and physical activity and will receive a bone scan at the first appointment.

NCT ID: NCT01825226 Active, not recruiting - Anemia Clinical Trials

Helen Keller International's Enhanced-Homestead Food Production Program in Burkina Faso

EHFP
Start date: February 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Helen Keller International (HKI) has been implementing homestead food production (HFP) programs in Asia for the past 20 years and has recently begun implementing HFP programs in Africa as well. In general, these programs target women and are designed to improve maternal and child health and nutrition outcomes through three primary pathways: 1. Increasing the availability of micronutrient-rich foods through increased household production of these foods; 2. Raising income through the sale of surplus production; and 3. Increasing knowledge and adoption of optimal nutrition practices, including the consumption of micronutrient-rich foods. Evaluations of HFP programs have consistently demonstrated significant increases in household production and consumption of micronutrient-rich foods. This increased consumption, along with improvements in health and nutrition related knowledge, and increased income, could all contribute to improvements in maternal and child health and nutrition outcomes. However, to date there has been limited understanding as to how these types of programs can be optimized to maximize impacts on these outcomes. In order to better understand the potential of these types of programs to improve maternal and child health and nutrition outcomes and how this impact may be achieved IFPRI has been collaborating with HKI to evaluate one of their E-HFP programs in Burkina Faso. The evaluation considers impact of the program through the three pathways above, and assesses anthropometric and clinical measures of nutrition, as well as looking at how the programs might be improved.

NCT ID: NCT01721512 Completed - Growth Clinical Trials

The Growth and Development of Breast and Formula Fed Term Asian Infants

Start date: September 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Prospective cohort study of breast and formula fed infants in a suburban setting in Jakarta, Indonesia

NCT ID: NCT01666457 Completed - Growth Clinical Trials

Impact of Implementing an Infant Driven Feeding Program on Oral Feeding and Growth Outcomes of Medically Fragile Infants in the Neonatal ICU (NICU)

Start date: September 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The specific aim of this pre-post trial is to compare data regarding oral feeding, length of stay, and growth outcomes of 100 NICU infants to these same outcomes following the implementation of a developmentally supportive, infant driven feeding program with the NICU staff, specifically the Supporting Oral Feeding in Fragile Infants (SOFFI) infant feeding program on a second sample of 100 NICU infants at Children's Memorial Hospital. The specific research questions considered in this study are: 1. What is the impact of implementing the SOFFI on the oral feeding outcomes of medically fragile infants in the NICU at discharge and at 3 months post-term? 2. What is the impact of implementing the SOFFI on the growth outcomes of medically fragile infants in the NICU at discharge and at 3 months post-term? 3. What is the impact of implementing the SOFFI on the length of stay of medically fragile infants in the NICU? 4. What is the impact of implementing the SOFFI on the clarity and consistency of NICU staff evaluations and communications related to managing oral feedings with medically fragile infants?

NCT ID: NCT01583673 Completed - Growth Clinical Trials

Growth of Infants Fed an Amino Acid Infant Formula

Start date: May 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of the clinical trial is to compare growth in infants (expressed as weight gain in g/day) consuming a new Amino Acid Formula to infants consuming a commercially available hypoallergenic formula over a period of 4 months.

Growth and Safety of a Low Lactose Milk-Based Infant Formula

Start date: December 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to show that a low lactose milk-based infant formula supports normal growth in healthy term infants.

Growth of Infants Fed an Extensively Hydrolyzed Infant Formula

Start date: November 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of the clinical trial is to compare growth in infants (expressed as weight gain in g/day) consuming a new extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF) to infants consuming a commercially available EHF.
