Obesity Clinical Trial - Effects of Weight Loss on Vascular Function in

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effect of weight loss on vascular function in obese with poor cardiovascular health. The investigators will evaluate the effects of weight loss on total and central body adiposity, blood pressure, central hemodynamic parameters, arterial stiffness, endothelial function, apnea-hypopnea index, insulin resistance and inflammatory markers.

Clinical Trial Description

Excessive adipose tissue is associated with adverse metabolic effects and is an important risk factor for chronic diseases. According to the American Heart Association, most cardiovascular events can be prevented by adhering to healthy practices, reflecting cardiovascular health as poor, intermediate, and ideal. Methods: Both sexes, aged between 40 and 70 years, with body mass index ≥ 30 and < 40 kg/m² will be included and clinical, anthropometric, body composition and laboratory tests will be assessed. In vascular tests, the investigators will evaluate the sympathetic tone using a frequency meter (Polar® RS800), oscillometric pulse wave analysis by Mobil-O-Grah®, post-occlusive microvascular reactivity and carotid ultrasound to measure intimamedia thickness. In the sleep study, the investigators will analyze the presence and degree of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) through the home polysomnography device (WatchPAT 200®). The first visit will be for screening, clinical and anthropometric evaluation. On the second visit, the vascular tests, instructions and device delivery for sleep study will be performed. Patients will return the following day to return the WatchPAT and to receive the hypocaloric nutritional intervention (800kcal reduction of daily total energy value), which should be followed for 16 weeks. Eight weeks after the beginning of the nutritional intervention a new visit will be scheduled for clinical, nutritional assessment and dietary adjustment. After completing 16 weeks, the patients will return for clinical, laboratory, nutritional, vascular and sleep tests. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
