Filter by:The study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the WeightWatchers (WW) GLP1 behavioral program + Sequence GLP1 Medical Weight Management program on weight loss and related outcomes. Participants will be invited to take part and answer surveys at 0, 12 and 24 weeks.
Obesity, namely at body mass index (BMI) levels exceeding 40kg/m2 (class III obesity), is a risk factor for many diseases including osteoarthritis (OA). In arthroplasty, patients in this population frequently present for and are turned away from surgical intervention. Subsequently, efforts are made to decrease BMI through simple weight loss, yet these have been suggested as ineffective and counterproductive. Furthermore, simple weight loss may include muscle mass loss, which is an additional risk factor for surgery. At the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Orthopedics Department, efforts have been made to encourage muscle mass gain and body fat loss over simple weight loss where progress has been tracked through stationary, multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA). BIA is a readily available technology offered to industry and consumers, and BIA has recently been incorporated into wearable devices. In the UIHC Orthopedics department, a novel clinic aimed at holistically serving the osteoarthritic-class III obese population for controlled and monitored weight loss through BIA. This study, a randomized controlled trial, aims to recruit adult patients with class III obesity presenting to the arthroplasty-obesity clinic. While all patients will receive individual body composition coaching to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat mass, they will be randomized to one of two cohorts: the study group will receive a wearable BIA wristband (InBody BAND 2) and instruction on its use in addition to the standard coaching, and the control group will only receive the standard coaching. This study aims to identify if the use of a wearable BIA wristband aids in the desired body composition changes. In addition, this study aims to quantify the body composition changes exhibited by each cohort. Finally, this study aims to track surgical outcomes for those patients that are indicated for total joint arthroplasty.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes paralysis and muscle atrophy and leads to weight gain and obesity. Obesity directly contributes to functional impairment and cardiometabolic dysfunction. There is a critical need to reduce the growing prevalence of obesity and cardiometabolic disease after SCI. My overall objective in this project is to gather crucial feasibility data on time restricted eating (TRE), a novel form of intermittent fasting. TRE is a straightforward method to induce weight loss without the need for calorie counting. TRE allows individuals to eat all their daily calories in a time restricted window and fast outside that window. A growing body of literature supports the safety and efficacy of TRE. Given the feasibility, high adherence, and substantial benefits of TRE in able-bodied individuals, it is important to test TRE to determine its feasibility in Veterans with SCI. The investigators will first test this intervention in Veterans with thoracic paraplegia, who are at greatest risk of muscle-joint upper body injury given the need to support body weight during activity. The investigators will determine adherence to a TRE window for 6-weeks duration in a convenience sample of Veterans with thoracic paraplegia and obesity. Based on the expected outcomes of good adherence, this study will lay the groundwork for future work by informing the design of a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of TRE to facilitate weight loss and improve function.
The purpose of the study: To develop a differentiated management strategy for obese children based on the analysis of the relationship between their clinical, metabolic, immunological and microbiological status Research objectives: 1. To give a clinical and metabolic characteristic of a group of obese children (age, gender, degree of obesity, body mass index SDS, the presence of complications of obesity, clinical signs of metabolic syndrome, laboratory markers: AlT, AsT, cholesterol, high and low density lipoproteins, uric acid, insulin, leptin). 2. To study the immunological indicators of inflammation in obese children (the level of highly sensitive CRP, proinflammatory cytokines - IL-1b, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, TNF-α). 3. To assess the state of the intestinal microbiota in obese children by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. 4. To analyze the relationship of clinical-metabolic, immunological and microbiological status in obese children and identify markers associated with metabolic syndrome and the formation of complications. Materials and methods: At stage 1, it is planned to conduct a cohort study in a group of school-age children with obesity (n=120) with the study of their clinical, metabolic, immunological and microbiological status. The control group will consist of healthy children of the appropriate age who are not overweight (n= 20). Stage 2 of the study consists in prospective observation of children of the examined group who do not have complications and clinical manifestations of metabolic syndrome for 6 months against the background of standard therapeutic measures (diet, lifestyle correction, physical activity) and repeated clinical and laboratory examination.
The purpose of this observational study is to measure how many people are overweight or obese amongst patients with a diagnosed cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study also aims to characterise the population including the presence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in a number of countries across the globe representing different geographies, ethnicities, as well as different healthcare systems.
This is an observational, prospective Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 milligram [mg]) Pregnancy Registry Study. The aim of this study is to compare the maternal, foetal, and infant outcomes of pregnant women who are exposed to Wegovy during pregnancy for the treatment of obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbid condition with outcomes in an internal comparison cohort of pregnant women with obesity or overweight with at least one weight related comorbid condition at conception and who are not exposed to Wegovy or other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) during pregnancy. Infant outcomes will be assessed throughout the infant's first year of life, with active data collection by the registry occurring at 4 and 12 months after delivery.
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 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 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.
