View clinical trials related to Metabolic Syndrome.
Filter by:Background:Metabolic syndrome is a disorder characterized by abdominal obesity,hypertension,increased triglycerides ,decreased HDL cholesterol and increased blood glucose. Accumulating evidence strongly indicates that insulin resistance and an increased amount of abdominal fat are the pathogenic factors for the characteristics of metabolic syndrome. Studies indicate that sleep apnea may be a manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. Subjects and methods:This study was conducted in the pulmonology department at kasrelainy hospital. It included 80 patients who came to the sleep lab unit for polysomnography. Each patient was subjected to full history taking including(sex,age,smoking history,presence of diabetes or hypertension),thorough clinical examination with emphasis on waist, neck&hip circumference and blood pressure measurements,Laboratory investigations including :Lipid profile& Diabetic profile(HBA1C).In addition to ESS and stop bang score questionnaire.
Developed nations worldwide are currently enduring a health crisis, as chronic diseases continue to decrease quality of life and promote additional disease states or even death for much of the population. Rural populations are at a particular disadvantage, as they lack access to health clubs, wellness programs and similar resources that are more available in urban areas. Although pharmaceutical therapies have continued to show therapeutic advancements, the rates of disease onset and death from chronic disease has not seen similar improvements, and in fact continue to worsen. Excitingly, significant evidence has been published demonstrating an affordable, effective treatment to directly treat and prevent these chronic diseases, but few have demonstrated successful implementation of this therapy, which is improved lifestyle. Specifically, physical activity and healthy body composition are powerful therapeutics that have been demonstrated to effectively combat and prevent chronic diseases. Additionally, improving these lifestyle factors are often more effective than pharmaceutical interventions without the wide range of side effects. Unfortunately, barriers exist on multiple tiers in the practice of family medicine that demote the implementation of lifestyle medicine. To better serve patients at risk of, or suffering from chronic disease, the investigators are seeking to establish a lifestyle medicine prescription program for rural West Virginia. This program will provide patient education on the benefits of physical activity, body composition, and help patients identify strategies to implement healthy lifestyle choices that can be sustainable for the long-term. Patients will be advised on local opportunities to increase physical activity (yoga studio, martial arts, fitness facilities, aquatic center, etc.) and provided access to the facilities they are most likely to adhere to regularly. They will also be provided training on exercise techniques, equipment, and facilities to increase familiarity and comfort in these settings.
The goal of this study is to learn about the effect of licorice root powder on parameters of metabolic syndrome in those women diagnosed with PCOS with age range of 15-49 years of age. The study aims to answer the following questions: - Will licorice root powder consumption will have an impact on parameters of metabolic syndrome which are HDL levels, triglycerides, fasting blood pressure and blood glucose levels and abdominal obesity related to PCOS. - Will licorice help in lowering stress scores and improve quality of life. Females with diagnosed PCOS will be recruited in the study and will be randomly allotted to two groups. One group will be intervention group and second will be control group. Participants in intervention group will be given 1000mg of licorice root powder in form of capsules (1 per day). Control group will not take anything. For both groups, SF-12 health survey, and readings of lipid profile, fasting blood glucose and blood pressure and central obesity will be taken. Researcher will compare readings of both groups at baseline and after 3 months of intervention to assess the effect of licorice root powder.
Little is known about the associated factors and mechanisms involved in the development of metabolic disturbance in pediatric obesity. The overall objective of the present study is to investigate clinical, anthropometric, socio-demographic and lifestyle predictors of MHO among obese children and adolescents. The Aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of fat distribution, muscle mass, strength and physical activity level on metabolic morbidity in obese adolescents.
The objective of this project is to provide evidence that L-Citrulline (CIT) supplementation can improve vascular function in the fasted and acute hyperglycemia conditions in middle-aged and older women with metabolic syndrome.
With improved AIDS treatment leading to extended survival, HIV-infected individuals face a higher metabolic syndrome incidence. This study aims to determine the prevalence of Non-AIDS related Comorbidities (NARC) in HIV-infected individuals. Using purposive and snowball sampling, the cross-sectional survey targets 400 HIV-infected individuals aged 40 and above. Data collection includes demographics, physical activity, nutrition, depression, and physiological measurements. Analyzing the data through statistical tests and structural equation modeling, the study aims to provide precise care recommendations for preventive medicine and healthy aging in this population.
Investigators aim to compare the effects of early and late time-restricted feeding on overweight adults with metabolic syndrome
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a vegan diet (supplemented with vitamin B12) and an mediterranean diet on performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, metabolic health, immune status, and environmental impact in healthy adults.
The purpose of this study is to find out if receiving education regarding increased risks of cardiometabolic disease helps subjects understand these risks and how these risks participants' health.
Background: According to statistics, Taiwan will become a super-aged society in 2025, and health promotion and care for the elderly are important issues of public health. With the prolongation of life, the older adults need to face their physical weakness, decline in psychological, cognitive and social related functional abilities, the prevalence of chronic diseases and the increase in the disabled population, which has a considerable impact on individuals, families and the overall social economy. However, most older adults suffering from chronic diseases are often accompanied by physical dysfunction, which affects the quality of sleep, causes emotional distress and emotional disorders, and leads to a decline in the quality of life. Studies have found that aromatherapy can not only improve sleep and emotional problems, but also relieve physical discomfort caused by diseases, achieve the purpose of reducing medical costs and improving quality of life. However, there are very few studies regrading older adults who are at risk of metabolic syndrome in community and the effects of inhalation of compound essential oils on their sleep and quality of life. Therefore, this study will explore the use of aromatherapy to improve the quality of sleep and life of the elderly. The research results can be used as a reference for community bases to promote the improvement of sleep and quality of life for older adults, so as to achieve the goal of healthy aging.
