Filter by:The goal of this study was to find prevalence and correlations of different weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy. This cross- sectional study hypothesize the prevalence of weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in addition to positive correlations between weight abnormalities and number of exercise hours and frequency of meals in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy RESEARCH QUESTION: 1. What is the prevalence of weight abnormalities and and risk of abdominal obesity in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy? 2. Does the weight abnormalities correlates with number of exercise hours or frequency of meals in children with cerebral palsy?
The study proposes a randomized pilot and feasibility study of a lifestyle modification program to promote healthy diet and activity in rural-dwelling children to reduce Type 2 Diabetes risks. Intervention participants will receive 6 months of programming to include: - 16 activity packs; - 9 health coach sessions; - unlimited access to a resource toolbox. Control participants will receive 6 activity packs promoting science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning and 6 check-in calls to support retention.
This is a three-month randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of auricular acupressure versus Intermittent carbohydrate restriction on cardiometabolic risk in obese children with gastric heat and dampness obstruction.
This study examines the interplay between genotype and phenotype and assesses if energy balance behaviors in the context of the family environment, alone or in combination, can modify behavioral and genetic predispositions to childhood obesity. The research aims to prospectively evaluate the extent to which associations of a heightened drive to eat (HDE) on 1-year changes in weight and adiposity outcomes are independent or additive to those of a genetic risk for obesity among children. In addition, the study aims to prospectively examine risk-modifying energy balance behaviors in areas of diet, physical activity, and sleep that may mitigate the detrimental impact of a HDE or high genetic risk on weight and adiposity outcomes and test whether these factors differ for HDE versus a high genetic risk of obesity on those outcomes. Lastly, the research aims to examine the impact of family-level influences in areas of family functioning and parent feeding on risk-modifying energy balance behaviors in children.
Evaluate the effects of the "Eat My ABCs" program on improving Head Start preschoolers' eating behavior and anthropometric properties (BMI, percent body fat).
Type 1 Diabetes carries high burden for affected youth and their families. Advances in insulin therapy and technology have been associated with increased obesity with 1/3 adolescents being overweight/obese. Since obesity runs in families and carries risk for poor outcomes psychologically and medically, the investigators are adapting our successful evidence-based Family Based Treatment for hybrid delivery to improve obesity and metabolic control in the affected youth and improve obesity and related co-morbidities in their parents.
This study collects data on children with severe, early-onset obesity.
The purpose of this 4 week pilot study is to test the use of a mobile application (also commonly referred to as an app) designed to help increase self-management strategies among youth that have asthma and obesity. The data obtained from this study will facilitate refinement of the app and interventional approaches for a future larger scale study to increase youth self-management of their clinical conditions, symptom management, and health maintenance as they transition to adulthood.
Physical inactivity is the fourth most important risk factor for mortality worldwide and it contributes to weight gain and obesity. On the contrary, it is established that regular physical activity is a prevention and managerial factor of these non-communicable diseases. Therefore, the goal of this study is to design and evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week physical exercise and lifestyle improvement training program carried out in a family environment, through a web platform, and with "online" supervision. This platform will improve the physical conditioning and adherence to PE in a "family environment", and to promote good development of the child through physical activities and exercises that can be done as a family at home and/or outside.
The objective of this proposed study is to collect initial efficacy data on a telehealth parent-based behavioral program for children with autism and overweight or obesity (PBT-A), compared with health education (HE).
