Filter by:There is a strong correlation between being overweight, specifically with abdominal fat, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Recent scientific literature has highlighted the connection between significant weight loss, specifically 15% or more of body weight, and its positive impact on body composition and glycemic profiles. In this study, the focus is on very low carbohydrate ketogenic diets (VLCKDs) as a nutritional strategy for managing excess weight and improving diabetes. Current research is transforming the understanding of T2DM, demonstrating that effective and timely interventions can lead to diabetes remission, including a partial recovery of insulin secretion and function. However, the daily life of a diabetic patient in a clinical setting may not always mirror that of a patient participating in a study, who receives planned follow-up visits and close supervision. To address this discrepancy, this study aims to analyze a cohort of patient records with T2DM and overweight who have adopted a VLCKD, specifically through the PnK® Method, in a private diabetology practice. The goal is to assess the impact of VLCKD on glycemic control in real-life scenarios.
The purpose of this initial pilot and feasibility study is to test different digital, behavioral weight loss approaches, with or without human support, using a sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial (SMART) design. All participants in this pilot trial will receive a 3-month mobile health (mHealth) program. The dose of human support will vary by first- and second-line randomizations. The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes for each of the treatment sequences will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether post-exercise Greek yogurt following a single session of aerobic exercise improves metabolic and musculoskeletal health in women with overweight/obesity.
The objective of this study is to design and refine an activity support program for overweight or obese adults called Move. The primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the Move physical activity support program.
This observational study aims to detect serum levels of Developmental Endothelial Locus-1 (DEL-1), Platelet Count, and Soluble P-selectin (sP-sel) in Overweight and Obese Subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a difference in serum DEl-1 levels in overweight and obese subjects compared to normal subjects? - Are there any relations between serum DEL-1 levels, sP-sel, and platelet count in overweight and obese subjects ?
This clinical trial aims to compare the effect of a nutritional intervention based on Mindful Eating, with standard dietary treatment, in changing the eating behavior of overweight individuals.
This is a dietary intervention study, which aims to explore different diet challenges for glucose metabolism, including carbohydrates and fasting dietary pattern. Considering the glucose responses to the same food are largely heterogeneous among people, this study integrates the concepts of precision nutrition and N-of-1 design. The study also aims to discover the different impact of the time-restricted diet (TRD) and the energy-restricted diet (ERD) on host metabolic health and our hair growth.
This project aims to develop an intervention on healthy habits based on physical exercise and nutritional education in people with obesity. It is accepted that exercise and nutrition are keys to controlling body weight. People with obesity frequently present with metabolic syndrome and a low-grade inflammatory state. It is not known what should be the most effective training load/dose (duration, intensity, type of exercise) to improve health indicators related to metabolic syndrome and lipo-inflammation, and body composition in people with obesity. A large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be essential to better understand the type and characteristics of training load/dose most effective in counteracting the detrimental effects of obesity. The aim of this trial in 50 obese women was to answer the following questions: - Does the training program improve physical fitness? - Does the training program improve body composition? - Does the training program improve the state of chronic low-grade inflammation? - Does the training program improve the quality of life and perceived health? - Do people with obesity and metabolic syndrome respond in the same way to training? - what is the effect of four weeks of detraining?
The overall aim of this study is to investigate the effects of home-based resistance exercise programme on changes in body composition and strength during weight loss, in people living with obesity or overweight.
The goal of this randomized pilot clinical trial is to describe the feasibility of a couple-based lifestyle intervention and the study protocol in preparation for a future definitive randomized clinical trial. Participants include individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes and their romantic partners. The main objectives are: 1. To describe the feasibility of the couple-based intervention. 2. To describe the feasibility of the study protocol for use in a definitive trial. Participating couples will be randomized to one of two year-long lifestyle intervention conditions: an individual curriculum or a couple-based curriculum. Participants will complete assessments before and after the year-long intervention, as well as monthly during the intervention. Data will be collected on: feasibility, background, health behaviors, physical and mental health, and relationship functioning.
