Filter by:The study is intended to understand the distribution of different obesity classes and obesity related diseases (diseases that present along with obesity) in patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m^2. Participants will be asked to give information about their health. They will continue their normal way of life and will not get any medication or additional medical test other than those prescribed to you by their doctor. Participation in the study will last for about 1 day.
This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of care based on the "Accelerated Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol" and the traditional method in bariatric surgery and demonstrate the difference the two methods based on evidence.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about variability of gene SCD and MT-ATP6 in describe participant population and health conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: • whether there is variation in genes between obese and normal weight individuals Participants will get body weight and high was assessed using the medical scale and stadiometer, then, basis on obtained results, the Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated. Next, participants get determine the body composition and body composition analysis by bioelectrical impedance method to determined: Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT in cm2 and %), Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue (SAT in cm2 and %), and the VAT/SAT ratio was also determined. Then order to examine the sequence of the genes, swab will take from the oral cavity (cheeks and palate) using sterile swab. The research was carried out at the Department of Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition (Medical University of Bialystok).
To examine how a low glycemic index diet (LGID) changes biochemical parameters, body measurements, and body image perception in obese individuals with insulin resistance. Obesity groups with insulin resistance who received a control diet (CD) and a LGID will be compared with each other in terms of biochemical parameters, body image perception and body measurements. In addition, each group will be compared with the start and end measurements over the same values.
Purpose: To better understand the impact of different front-of-package labels (FOPLs) on consumer purchasing intentions and ability to identify unhealthy foods. Participants: ~8,000 Colombians, recruited from Offerwise, that are 18 years or older. Procedures (methods): Participants will be randomly assigned to view images of food and drink products with either a nutrient warning label, Guideline Daily Amount label, Nutriscore label, or no-label control. They will be asked a series of questions about the products and the labels (excluding control group) on them. Questions will also include standard demographic and health related variables.
The primary objective of the present study will be to evaluate, in obese patients, the blood flow response in the femoral artery in response to passive limb movements, taken as a biomarker of a possible limitation of the peripheral vascular-endothelial-microvascular function. The values will be compared with those obtained in normal subjects, in patients with cardiovascular (Gilford & Richardson 2017) or respiratory diseases (Ives et al. 2020), and in healthy subjects subjected to bed rest (Zuccarelli et al. 2020). The data of the recruited obese patients will be obtained at the beginning and the end of the standard rehabilitation period (including calorie reduction interventions, physical exercise, and psychological counseling) conducted over 3 weeks at the Division of Auxology, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, Piancavallo, Italy. A secondary objective will be to evaluate any changes following the rehabilitation program on the patients' endothelial-peripheral-vascular-microvascular function. The data obtained will also be evaluated in comparison with hematochemical and molecular indices for evaluating the endothelial function, as well as with standard parameters for the overall functional evaluation of the oxidative function and the ability to sustain exercise ("peak" O2 consumption during exercise, thresholds anaerobic diseases.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare an antiinflammatory and environmentally friendly dietary strategy (AIA-D) designed based on the planetary health diet recommendations translated to the regional context and including nutrients related to antiinflammatory responses with an active control diet based on general healthy diet recommendations (CONV-D) in adults from 18 to 50 years of age with obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2). The main questions it aims to answer are: - If the intervention with AIA-D will cause a significant decrease at the end of the intervention (six weeks) in lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) compared to CONV-D. - If intervention with AIA-D will cause a significant increase at the end of the intervention (six weeks) in the relative abundance of two specific bacteria genera (AM and FP) when compared to CONV-D. Participants will: - Sign the informed consent. - Provide two peripheral blood samples (taken by our trained professionals). - Provide two samples of feces. - Allow anthropometric (body weight, height, hip and waist circumferences) blood pressure measurements on two occasions. - Respond to 24 h dietary recall on two occasions. - Attend the 1-hour group sessions requested (three for AIA-D and one for CONV-D). - Follow the dietary recommendations provided. - Be willing to participate in social media groups to receive information and follow up during the six weeks of the intervention. Researchers will compare an antiinflammatory and environmentally friendly strategy (AIA-D) with an active control diet (CONV-D) based on general healthy diet recommendations to see if AIA-D decreases metabolic endotoxemia measured through LBP serum levels and increase the relative abundance of AM and FP, compared to CONV-D.
Gastric myoelectric, inflammatory, and hormonal responses, body compositional, energy expenditure, and metabolic changes during the development of obesity and the weight loss process are underinvestigated. This project studied the myoelectrical inflammatory and hormonal responses of the stomach, in addition to energy expenditure and body composition changes during weight loss via bariatric surgery and lifestyle intervention.
The effect of coffee consumption on appetite is not clear, there are studies that show an effect on the regulation of energy intake, reducing hunger and/or increasing satiety. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effect of 6 mg/caffeine/kg of body weight on hunger, satiety, dietary intake, biochemical variables and ghrelin and cholecystokinin concentration in overweight and obese women.
Generally, the enhancement of physical fitness depends on the optimal modulation of different physiological, technical or psychological stimuli and within the factors the would contribute to a decrease performance level, obesity is one of them. In this context, ample evidence shows that obesity is associated with an augmented cardio-metabolic risk, lowered postural control, functional performance and strength-related variables. International guidelines suggests to counteract obesity to respect a minimum dosage of 150 min a week of physical activity at moderate intensity performed with resistance training exercises with a frequency of 2-3 days/week. However, in the aforementioned guidelines there is a little consideration for what concern the quality of motor execution (i.e., "how" an individual performs each movement pattern). In addition, the available literature demonstrates the effectiveness of a "movement-quality" training intervention on fitness parameters and postural control, compared to a mere conventional exercise, in normal-weight individuals . In account to this, the purpose is to evaluate whether a quality of movement protocol would be more effective than a traditional strength training exercise in improving postural control and fitness parameters in subjects with obesity.
