Filter by:This is a 6-week ketogenic diet (KD) intervention where participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will follow a KD plan, supervised and monitored by a dietician. Participants will be provided extensive educational and ongoing support on the KD, including personalized coaching with the ability to text a dietitian at any time and expect a response within 12 hours. Diet adherence and progress will be assessed daily using at-home blood ketone/glucose monitors, along with diet records. Participants will fill out health related questionnaires and undergo assessments of body composition, RA disease activity. This study also includes blood draws and fat biopsy of the abdominal region.
The goal of this trial is to learn how well Setmelanotide works to improve weight reduction, hunger, and quality of life in patients 4 years of age and older with acquired Hypothalamic Obesity (HO). To determine how well setmelanotide works and how safe it is, patients with HO will take a daily injection of either setmelanotide or placebo and complete trial assessments for up to 60 weeks.
This is a prospective collection of data from adult patients who have had an endoscopic metabolic and bariatric endoscopy procedure (EMBT) for primary or revision surgical procedures for obesity.
The study aim is to evaluate a patient-centred intervention focusing on improved quality of life and wellbeing among individuals with obesity and risk factors for adverse outcome.
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve cancer patient's health, survival, and quality of life by dispelling risk behaviors for Northwestern Memorial Health Care (NMHC) patients who are cancer survivors. The main question[s] STELLAR aims to answer are: - How best to combine three behavior interventions (physical activity promotion, smoking cessation, obesity treatment) into one treatment. - Evaluate the reach of the program. We will look at the number, proportion, and representativeness of participants in terms of disease characteristics, socioeconomic status, telehealth readiness, and race/ethnicity. - Evaluate the effects of the STELLAR program relative to enhanced usual care (information provision) on cancer risk behaviors, patient care access, care quality, and communication. Participants will be provided goals related to their physical activity, smoking, and/or weight loss and asked to track their health behaviors via an app, excel file, or on paper. At baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months into the study, participants will provide survey responses and physical measurements like height and weight. Additionally, those in the STELLAR group will complete 16 telehealth sessions with study staff to discuss progress towards their study goals. Researchers will compare the STELLAR intervention group to the Enhanced Usual Care group to see if the STELLAR intervention group is able to reach more participants that Enhances Care only.
The specific aims and objectives of this proposal are to: 1. Evaluate a food pantry's weekly food distribution impact on behavioral, social and health outcomes in families. 2. In a subset of families with a child aged 6-17 years, test a pilot intervention offering the following components, with a goal of improving family behavioral, social and health outcomes: 1. Weekly family food packages from the Revere Food Pantry 2. 6-Monthly group sessions that include information on healthy behaviors, chronic disease management and teaching families how to prepare simple recipes based on the food they receive that week from the food pantry.
Research; It is a planned, non-invasive, controlled study in obese female volunteers and non-obese female volunteers. The population of the study consists of voluntarily non-obese women and obese women. Sarcopenia assets of individuals will be measured with the sarc-f questionnaire, and then muscle strength, muscle mass and physical performance tests will be measured. Then, rectus femoris muscle thickness will be measured with USG, and then walking and balance will be measured with ZEBRIS.
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility among young women. This syndrome is a reproductive and endocrinological disorder that affects up to 18% of reproductive-aged women. To date, the only strategy shown to reverse PCOS is sustained weight loss of 5-10%. At present, daily calorie restriction (CR) is the main diet prescribed to patients with PCOS for weight loss. However, some women find it difficult to adhere to CR because calorie intake must be vigilantly monitored every day. Considering these problems with CR, another approach that limits timing of food intake, instead of number of calories consumed, has been developed. This diet is called "time restricted eating" (TRE) and involves confining the period of food intake to 6-8 h per day. TRE allows individuals to self-select foods and eat ad libitum during a large part of the day, which greatly increases compliance to these protocols. Recent findings show that TRE significantly reduces body weight, insulin resistance, and inflammation in adults with obesity. However, no randomized controlled trials have studied the role of TRE in treating PCOS. Accordingly, this study will compare the effects of TRE vs CR in females with PCOS over 6 months on body weight, androgen markers, inflammatory markers and insulin sensitivity. Methods: A 6-month randomized, controlled, parallel-arm trial will be implemented. Females with obesity and PCOS will be randomized to 1 of 3 groups: (1) 6-h TRE (ad libitum food intake from 1-7 pm, fasting from 7pm-1pm); (2) CR (25% energy restriction daily); or (3) control group (ad libitum intake with no meal timing restrictions).
This TK-MT is an interactive year-long program that teaches culinary skills, nutrition education, mindfulness, and stress reduction, promotes movement, and optimizes behavior change through health coaching strategies. The purpose of this study is to test whether a referral-based teaching kitchen intervention offered for 12 months in adjunct to primary care obesity management is feasible, acceptable, and effective on improving health behaviors and obesity prevention. Specifically, the primary goal of the study is to provide evidence of improved behavior change (ex: increases in cooking at home, fruit and vegetable intake, exercise, sleep, mindful activities), improved lab values (ex: fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.), and resulting change in body weight and waist circumference measures. The hypothesis is that by participating in this novel TK-MT intervention - learning to cook healthy, delicious, inexpensive meals at home; understanding principles of good nutrition (based on the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate); incorporating exercise more effectively into daily living; reducing stress and increasing mindfulness and sleep; and, having access to principles of health coaching - in order to leverage personal motivations - can provide a platform to transform individuals and consequently their health, not only for the duration of this study (16 weeks intensive, 8 months boosters for a total of 12 months) but for their entire lives.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of planned education based on the health promotion model on lifestyle behaviors and weight management in obese secondary school students.
