Filter by:The FitKids study is a mother-child observational cohort study on obesity and metabolism in children three years of age. The study will follow up on the FitMum and FitBaby studies, conducted from 2018-2022. The children in FitKids are born by mothers who completed the FitMum study, a single-site three-armed RCT, targeting physical activity during pregnancy. 220 pregnant women were randomly assigned to one of three arms during pregnancy: structured supervised exercise training, motivational counselling supported by health technology, or a control group receiving standard treatment. From inclusion and until one-year post-partum, the women wore an activity tracker 24/7 providing important information about adherence to the prescribed intervention. The primary objective of the FitKids study is to investigate the effect of lifestyle interventions during pregnancy on body composition (fat percentage measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) and risk of childhood obesity in off-springs. The secondary objectives are to investigate the effect of lifestyle interventions during pregnancy on obesity-associated dys-metabolic traits and mental health in off-springs as well as to gain insight into presumed causal factors for overweight and obesity in children. The investigators hypothesize that children of mothers, who during their participation in FitMum, received an intervention will have a healthier body composition expressed as a fat percentage within the normal range for a 3-year-old child compared to children of mothers in the control group.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of Nusantara Diet (Low Calorie and Low Sodium) for Metabolic Syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How effective the Nusantara diet in reducing body mass index and body fat percentage? - How effective the Nusantara diet in affecting lipid profile and insulin resistance? Participants will be given this diet for a period of 56 days and undergo repeated outcome measurement. This study has a comparison group (no intervention) to see the difference of reduction or slope of changes in outcomes. We assumed that the Nusantara diet will reduce the metabolic syndrome indicators (anthropometry, lipid profile, and insulin resistance profile).
Background: Dementia is an international public health problem, affecting approximately 50,000,000 people worldwide in 2018 and will triple by 2050; furthermore, reaching an approximate cost of 4 billion dollars. Given its high worldwide prevalence and probable underdiagnosis, the international guidelines for the assessment of dementia syndromes recommend the assessment of cognitive impairment in patients over 55 years of age as part of clinical practice in patients who presented an ischemic cerebrovascular event. Several risk factors associated with cognitive impairment in cerebrovascular disease are identified in the literature: 1) demographic factors (e.g., age over 65 years and female sex); 2) risk factors present prior to the ischemic stroke (e.g., cognitive impairment, physical impairment); 3) factors utilized to assess the severity of an ischemic stroke (e.g., supratentorial location, ischemic stroke in the dominant hemisphere, recurrence of ischemic strokes); 4) post-ischemic stroke factors (e.g., delirium and seizures); and 5) factors associated with neuroimaging findings (e.g., cerebral small vessel disease, cortical atrophy, and medial temporal lobe atrophy). This is a randomized controlled trial in individuals with an acute ischemic stroke without dementia that will be treated with 10mg dapagliflozin PO q24h for 12 months and standard treatment against only standard treatment (i.e., statins, platelet antiaggregant, and hypoglycemic medications) when appropriate. The outcome measure evaluated will be global cognitive function. Cardiovascular risk factors will be associated with cognitive decline.
Prospective cohort study. POPULATION: patients with gallstone disease qualified for laparoscopic cholecystectomy INTERVENTION: patients undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstones COMPARISON: gallstone disease without surgery in an observation period OUTCOME: metabolic syndrome symptoms evaluated in 3 months period The main inclusion criteria is cholelithiasis confirmed by ultrasound examination in patients between 18-75 years old. The main exclusion criteria are metabolic syndrome, diabetes, thyroid diseases, pancreatic diseases, serious abdominal surgeries in the past, pregnancy, and lactation. Participants who qualified for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 3 months are included in the investigation group. Those not having cholecystectomy planned in the upcoming three months for any reason (no consent for surgery, long term) are included in the control group. The intervention is to assess all metabolic syndrome criteria (blood pressure, glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity) before and three months after surgery. The endpoint is to evaluate if the risk of metabolic syndrome after cholecystectomy is higher than in patients with gallstones.
The childhood obesity prevalence has increased dramatically in the last decades, affecting more than 340 million children worldwide. This condition is the major risk factor for a set of metabolic abnormalities, also known as metabolic syndrome, a condition that reduce life expectancy by 5-20 years. Changes in the global food system, and the increased consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), may have contributed to the increase in the prevalence of childhood obesity and related morbidities. The mechanisms by which UPFs might promote obesity and metabolic syndrome could be multiple and not completely identified. The Ultra-processed Food in Obesity (UFO) Project has been designed to investigate the potential associations between UPFs intake and MetS in pediatric subjects
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and parallel clinical study aims to investigate the effectivness of a pumpkin seed extract (IRK-19®) on weight management.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the nurse-led GILL (Gezondheid in Lichaam en Leefstijl) eHealth intervention in patients with serious mental illness (SMI), compared to usual care. Expected is that the GILL eHealth intervention will be more effective than usual care in improving physical health and lifestyle behaviors. To evaluate this, we will perform a cluster randomized controlled trial with an embedded process evaluation of the implementation of the GILL intervention. 258 adult patients with serious mental illness and a body mass index of 27 or higher (overweight/obesity) will be included. The GILL eHealth intervention consists of two complementary modules for (a) somatic screening and (b) lifestyle promotion, resulting in a personalized somatic treatment and lifestyle plan. Trained mental health nurses and clinical nurse specialists will implement the intervention within the multidisciplinary treatment context, and will guide and support the patients in the promotion of their somatic health, including cardiometabolic risk management. The intervention will be compared to usual care, which includes treatment according to national guidelines. The outcome measures will be metabolic syndrome severity (primary), fitness, physical activity, lifestyle behaviors, quality of life, recovery, psychosocial functioning, health related self-efficacy and health care utilization after 1 year. The process evaluation focuses on the feasibility of the eHealth intervention, its acceptability for patients and health care providers (mainly mental health nurses and clinical nurse specialists), and barriers/facilitators to implementation.
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 main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a lifestyle program for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The investigators want to assess the efficacy of a pulse-based diet (i.e. a diet that contains lentils, chick-peas, and beans) on the clinical features, biochemical, and hormonal parameters of PCOS compared to the healthy therapeutic lifestyle changes diet.
This study proposes to examine the independent and combined effects of an 8-week home-based, equipment-free HIIT exercise intervention with/without Mediterranean diet through ghrelin-mediated alteration in overweight and obese metabolic women to improve cardiovascular-risk related markers and metabolic risk factors.
