Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the interactions between the genes and diet interventions varying in macronutrient intake on glycemic, waist circumference, body weight, visceral fat and lipids changes. In the POUNDS LOST, all of the 811 participants DNA was extracted from the buffy coat fraction of centrifuged blood using the QIAmp blood kit (Qiagen, Chatsworth, CA). Single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped using the OpenArray™ SNP genotyping system (BioTrove, Woburn, MA). The study is only accepting participants in the Boston, Massachusetts or Baton Rouge, Louisiana area. For further enrollment information in Boston or Baton Rouge, see Eligibility Criteria or Design Narrative. Besides, the investigators integrated novel pathway analyses in large cohorts and comprehensive genetic analyses on long-term weight loss and mechanisms in randomized diet intervention trials would provide very important evidence to unravel the etiology of obesity, and have significant public health and clinical implications. Establishing relationship between genetic variants and diets in determining weight change will help identify individuals at high risk for obesity especially when adherent to specific diet.
Older hypogonadal obese veterans previously participated in a 6 month lifestyle change (diet-induced weight loss and exercise) study with or without testosterone replacement therapy before being followed for the following year at the clinic while receiving standard of care consisting of diet and exercise counseling (for healthy lifestyle change) and testosterone replacement therapy. This study will determine if long-term lifestyle change and testosterone replacement therapy with associated improvement in physical and metabolic health can be maintained in obese older adults.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug ZGN-1061 in participants with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of daily supplementation of Brainport for a period of 6 months on cognitive health.
The investigators will retrospectively analyze and compare data of 2 groups of overweight and obese patients: subjects who followed a diet based on Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) measured by indirect calorimetry and subjects who followed a diet based on REE estimated by the Harris-Benedict equation. Propensity score adjustment will be used to adjust for known differences between the 2 groups
To evaluate the efficacy of Litramine in reducing body weight in the context of an energy-restricted diet in overweight and moderately obese subjects
This study plans to learn more about how to increase postpartum weight loss and how to decrease risk factors for postpartum women at increased risk for diabetes and heart disease. The program is delivered using a mobile application (app) and a lifestyle coach. This mobile application is developed for women who are at higher risk for diabetes and heart disease. Women who have gestational diabetes, (diabetes during pregnancy, or GDM), gestational hypertension (high blood pressure), and/or preeclampsia (high blood pressure and protein in the urine), and/or small-for gestational-age, and/or preterm (early) delivery during their pregnancies have a higher risk for diabetes and heart disease. This mobile application was developed using the latest research studies and using the evidence-based Diabetes Prevention and Colorado Weigh programs. The goal of the program is to help women lose weight and participate in physical activity after delivery.
This study tests a culturally tailored lifestyle intervention designed to prevent, or delay onset of, T2DM in Mexican Americans with prediabetes. Half the participants take part in a lifestyle program that emphasizes preparing and eating healthy Mexican American foods and increasing physical activity; the other half take part in an "enhanced" usual care control group.
This research seeks to examine psychological factors that may impact relationship between incentives and health behavior engagement, specifically fruit and vegetable consumption. Additionally, it will compare the impact of two different incentive schedules on behavior engagement, one providing immediate rewards (i.e. rewards received on a daily basis) and another providing delayed rewards (i.e. rewards received at the end of the study period), with a control condition in which no rewards are offered. Study participants will provide reports of their fruit and vegetable consumption each day for three weeks, and in the two incentive conditions, they will receive small monetary rewards for their fruit and vegetable consumption. Following the three week reporting and reward period, participants will complete two additional assessments, measuring psychological constructs and behavior engagement following the cessation of rewards. The study will also examine how cognitive and anthropomorphic factors may contribute to intervention response and the effects on psychological constructs.
The First 1000 Days (conception to age 2) is a crucial period for the development and prevention of obesity and its adverse consequences in mother-child pairs and their families. The overall aim of the First 1000 Days program is to work across early-life systems to prevent obesity, promote healthy routines and behaviors, address social determinants of health, and reduce health disparities among vulnerable children and families at community health centers in the Boston, MA area. The study aims to simultaneously implement and evaluate an obesity prevention program across early life systems to reduce the prevalence of obesity risk factors within racial/ethnic minority families, close the gap in maternal-child health disparities, and assess and address social determinants of health.
