Filter by:In a previous study, 24 volunteers consumed two conventional eggs or two eggs naturally enriched with omega 3, 5 and 7 every day for 3 months. It was shown that these eggs were well tolerated and that the omega enrichment led to a reduction in waist circumference of 3 cm in 3 months. The objective of Omegasnack study was therefore to go further in the evaluation of these effects on waist circumference; 1) confirm the effects of these eggs on waist circumference when included in a snack, 2) determine whether this reduction in waist circumference is linked to a reduction in muscle and/or fat mass (subcutaneous and/or visceral) and 3) evaluate whether these effects are associated with a modification in the accumulation of ectopic fat in the muscle and/or liver.
The estrogenic deficit characteristic of the climacteric stage is accompanied by a high incidence of health problems, such as the presence of Metabolic Syndrome risk factors that contribute to the increase of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: To determine the effect of a nursing intervention based on self-care aimed at improving the control of two metabolic syndrome risk factors (abdominal obesity and arterial hypertension) and health-related quality of life in climacteric women. Material and methods: Quasi-experimental study, non-equivalent control group design with women between 40 and 59 years old who present two risk factors of the Metabolic Syndrome (abdominal obesity and arterial hypertension) from two type C Health Centers of District 17D03 of Quito, Ecuador. Among one of the conceptual hypotheses, the researchers have Conceptual hypothesis 1: Climacteric women of the experimental group after the intervention of Nursing based on self-care improve two risk factors of MS with respect to those of the comparison group. A sample of 40 women was selected for experimental group and 40 for comparison group. Instruments and measurements: Abdominal Circumference, Blood Pressure, Menopause Rating Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Women in both groups received the usual care and those in the experimental group received a Nursing Intervention with technological support that included individual face-to-face nursing counseling, group education and physical activity sessions through a virtual platform for 12 weeks. Ethical requirements were considered. Expected results: It is expected that after the Nursing Intervention based on self-care the women of the experimental group will decrease the parameters of abdominal circumference, blood pressure and improve health-related quality of life.
Our previous randomized controlled trial has recruited 220 subjects with central obesity and allocated the subjects to the non-exercise control, moderate exercise and vigorous exercise groups. The purpose of our previous study was to investigate the effect of moderate and vigorous exercise on improvement of fatty liver. Those subjects will be followed up for incident diabetes at 2 year and 10 year since randomization. The subjects will be invited to participate in on-site visit at 2 and 10 year. Questionaire forms will be collected and fasting plasma glucose level and HbA1c were measured. The history of diabetes and anti-diabetic medication will be recorded. The incident diabetes will be evaluated.
In Spain, obesity epidemic is one of the leading contributors of chronic disease and disability. Obesity is associated with higher morbidity and all-cause mortality risk especially when fat is stored in the abdominal area (i.e., increased visceral adipose tissue, VAT). Although current approaches such as energy restriction may be effective at reducing body fat and improving cardiometabolic health, their long-term adherences are limited. Time-restricted eating (TRE; e.g., 8 hours eating: 16 hours fasting on a daily basis) is a recently emerged intermittent fasting approach with promising cardiovascular benefits. Results from pioneering pilot studies in humans are promising and suggest that simply reducing the eating time window from ≥12 to ≤8-10 hours/day improves cardiometabolic health. However, currently, there is no consensus regarding whether the TRE eating window should be aligned to the early or middle to late part of the day. The EXTREME study will investigate the efficacy and feasibility of three different 8 hours TRE schedules (i.e., early, late and self-selected) over 12 weeks on VAT (main outcome) and cardiometabolic risk factors (secondary outcomes) in adults with overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity. The final goal of the EXTREME study is to demonstrate the health benefits of a novel and pragmatic intervention for the treatment of obesity and related cardiometabolic risk factors; an approach readily adaptable to real-world practice settings, easy for clinicians to deliver, and intuitive for patients to implement and maintain in their lives.
the aim of study is to investigate the effect of laser acupuncture and abdominal exercises on abdominal fat in breast feeding women
In this randomized, placebo controlled, double blind trial, effects of relatively high doses of chicken protein hydrolysate (CPH) or casein hydrolysate (placebo) supplementation will be investigate in healthy persons with abdominal obesity. The 12-week study examines potential effects on body weight, abdominal obesity, body composition, plasma parameters of metabolic health including lipids, inflammatory parameters, redox state and microbiota biomarkers.
This study evaluates the impact of changes in eating behavior through nutritional counseling, after nine months of intervention, on body composition and metabolism in adult workers with abdominal obesity
Electro-acupuncture provides stimulation to acupoints, and has been widely used to treat abdominal obesity in China despite of lack of high-level evidence for treatment efficacy. The study will investigate whether the electroacupuncture can alleviate clinical symptoms and the mechanism of action in patients with abdominal obesity.
Studies have suggested that Obese patients with metabolic syndrome(MetS)were correlated with knee joint degeneration and osteoarthritis. However, no studies demonstrate the relationship between obese patients with metabolic syndrome and degenerate meniscus lesions and its knee function.The aim is to detect the correlation between obese patients with metabolic syndrome and degenerate meniscus injuries.
Acute, double-blinded, randomized, cross-over cafestol intervention study with fifteen participants with a large waist circumference participating in three OGTTs.
