Reading Ability in Childhood Obesity

Lettura_evOB
Start date: December 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

There is some evidence about the negative impact of overweight and obesity on reading ability, with negative consequences on quality of life and school success. In this neuropsychological research, the relationship between the characteristics of reading abilities in individuals with obesity (age range between 11 and 16 years) and the skills of motor coordination, postural stability, manual dexterity, including graphomotor skills, and estimation of time is investigated according to the cerebellar deficit theory.

Insulin Resistance, Lipid Profile, CRP, IL-18 and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) Diameter in Obese Adolescents

CIMT
Start date: October 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a marker for detecting endothelium dysfunction, and has become a non-invasive method that is very useful in detecting and evaluating subclinical atherosclerosis in obese children and adolescents. This method is very useful in visually detecting and monitoring changes in the intima and its medial thickness, and can also evaluate changes within the arterial wall in the absence of localized plaque. Previous research that was conducted found an increase in CIMT diameter in 44 of 59 obese adolescents. Obesity has a risk of increasing the diameter of CIMT which carries the risk of atherosclerosis. Obesity accompanied by insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome has a greater risk of atherosclerosis. Currently, the prevalence of obesity in adolescents is increasing. Interleukin 18 is a group of interleukin 1 whose levels increase in chronic inflammatory processes such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. IL-18 levels increase in obesity with increased CIMT. Assessment of cardiovascular risk in obese adolescents is still a challenge for health practitioners, to prevent cardiovascular complications in obese adolescents which can cause sudden death at a young age. It is necessary to assess changes in the cardiovascular system that can be identified early by knowing the CIMT diameter. However, there is no definite reference value so the CIMT can be used as a reference for the occurrence of subclinical atherosclerosis in obese adolescents. In the previous study, CIMT was not examined in non-obese adolescents, so the cut-off for CIMT in non-obese was not known. Therefore, we have the opportunity to research to determine the thickness of CIMT and determine the cut-off value of CIMT which is at risk of experiencing early atherosclerosis in the obese adolescent population.

NCT ID: NCT06089876 Active, not recruiting - Physical Inactivity Clinical Trials

The Use of Mobile Applications in Obese and Overweight Adolescents for Health Improvement

Start date: September 25, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Overweight and obesity, understood as an accumulation of abnormal and excessive fat, are the second leading cause of preventable and avoidable mortality in developed countries, with more than 340 million children and adolescents affected by this disease worldwide. As a consequence, overweight and obesity at an early age is already considered a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), with a high incidence in developed countries. The abuse of new technologies has remained at worrying levels in the post-COVID period, favoring an increase in the adolescent population considered sedentary. In this regard, up to 70% of adolescents show sedentary behaviors, especially affecting the time spent on screens by both males (93.8%) and females (87.2%). Thus, the use of the cell phone has been shown to be a determining factor, since between 10% and 16% of adolescents show a problematic use of this device, affecting, among other aspects, their behavior during their free time. In recent years there has been an increase in sedentary time among adolescents and a decrease in the practice of physical activity that has favored a greater accumulation of body fat and increased the probability of being overweight or obese. In this context, some studies have tried to encourage the practice of physical activity in the school context in overweight and obese population, being these interventions effective to improve body composition. However, these interventions also have their detractors, who argue that the hours of Physical Education are too limited to dedicate so much time to a single content, and that the pedagogical component is often overlooked in their implementation. As an alternative to the above, it has been suggested that Physical Education classes could be used to promote interventions that encourage adolescents to practice physical activity in their free time, and mobile applications could be used to monitor the activity carried out by adolescents, but also as an element that generates adherence and enjoyment in this population. Research in this population using these technologies is scarce, therefore, this project aims to determine the effectiveness of a ten-week intervention promoted from the subject of physical education in which a mobile application is used after school hours on physical activity, body composition and fitness in overweight or obese adolescents.

NCT ID: NCT05984043 Not yet recruiting - Obesity, Adolescent Clinical Trials

Piloting a Biofeedback Intervention for Adolescents With Overweight and a History of Adverse Childhood Experiences

Start date: November 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), referring to traumatic experiences occurring before 18 years of age (e.g., abuse/neglect), are associated with a 30-70% increased risk of developing adolescent and adult obesity and obesity-related cardiometabolic comorbidities, which may be due to dysregulation in stress-related physiology and engagement in stress-related behaviors. While adolescents with ACEs have a 2.25 times increased risk of obesity, standard-of-care lifestyle (e.g., nutrition/physical activity) interventions do not typically incorporate trauma-informed care, including assessment and therapeutic attention to effects of ACEs. Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback is an evidence-based, relatively brief, mind-body intervention targeting the stress physiology that can be dysregulated in adolescents with ACEs. The objective of this proposal is to adapt and test a 4-session HRV biofeedback protocol for 12-17-year-olds with BMI>85th percentile and ACEs. First (Phase 1), we will iteratively adapt a 4-session HRV biofeedback facilitator protocol with n=3-5 adolescents with overweight/obesity and ACEs, using adolescent quantitative and qualitative feedback to hone and optimize HRV biofeedback for this population (Aim 1). Next (Phase 2), we will conduct a randomized waitlist-controlled pilot study of n=30 adolescents with overweight/obesity and ACEs to assess acceptability and feasibility (Aim 2) and to describe changes in theorized targets of biofeedback (Aim 3).

NCT ID: NCT05982847 Recruiting - Hypertension Clinical Trials

National Blood Pressure Screening in Children to Improve Paediatric Healthcare in South Africa

Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Childhood Hypertension Consortium of South Africa (CHCSA) was established to foster relationships between the healthcare sector and schools through community engagement and outreach as well as contributing to the decolonization of normative paediatric blood pressure reference values. To date, there has been no nation-wide project in South Africa to determine nationally representative normal blood pressure reference values, nor to estimate the true prevalence of hypertension in the paediatric population of the country. This study will provide critical information on the understanding of blood pressure and hypertension in children, especially of African ancestry. Not only will this effort contribute to the development of the first nationally representative normal reference values of blood pressure but will also benefit healthcare providers in the sector with a clear guideline on the management of high blood pressure in children as developed by experts working with these challenges daily.

NCT ID: NCT05966870 Completed - PreDiabetes Clinical Trials

Unsweetened Sparkling Water and Changes in Sweetness Perception in Adolescents

Start date: March 9, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study design is a prospective observational study in adolescents who are at risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), to evaluate the effectiveness of sparkling water to reduce dietary intake of added sugars and thereby improve glycemia. Study data on consumption and the flavor profile of sparkling water will serve as a measure of acceptability. The study intervention will be to provide carbonated flavored sparkling water for 12 weeks to adolescents (and their families) who have a usual intake of 2 or more servings of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) per day and are at a high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Study measures will be obtained before and after the exposure to carbonated flavored sparkling water and each participant will serve as his/her own control. To encourage the participants to substitute the carbonated flavored sparkling water, study personnel will send them weekly iMessages through the Technology Assisted Dietary Assessment (TADA) app. In addition, investigators will monitor the participants' diet, using the TADA app, every two weeks, for 4 days. Study measurements will be obtained at baseline, before the intervention, during and at the end of the 12 week intervention. Objective: Determine the effect of reducing added sugars intake by substituting carbonated sparkling water on T2D risk in adolescents. Hypothesis: Adolescents who decrease consumption of SSB by substituting sparkling water will experience decreased blood glucose concentrations and increased insulin sensitivity during an oral glucose tolerance test and decreased glucose excursions during continued glucose monitoring, compared to those who do not decrease consumption of SSB.
