View clinical trials related to Overweight and Obesity.
Filter by:Many adults with obesity continue to gain weight even though they do not want to. This project will test the effects of a primary care intervention in which people with obesity receive an electronic scale and recommendations to weigh themselves daily. This will help us understand whether daily self-weighing might be a way to prevent continued weight gain.
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of introducing behavioral elements in a weight loss program, in this case, comparing the difference between self-weighing versus not doing so.
In the previous intervention studies of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients, changes in blood glucose and insulin resistance profiles before and after intervention indicated that different intervention methods had different effects on outcomes. Therefore, this study intends to explore the effect of the Light-Fat Rice®combined with Active Peptide® on the level of insulin resistance in overweight/obese diabetic patients and its effect on the outcome through a 4-week, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial, further elucidating its intervention mechanism theoretically. The study predicts that dynamic blood glucose(mean blood glucose) and glycosylated albumin will significantly different between the control group and the intervention group.And insulin resistance levels, blood lipids and other indicators wil be improved, and the test group was superior to the control group.All of these will contribute to more scientific and effective Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus's management.
This study evaluates the efficacy of a multidisciplinary intervention (diet, exercise, motivational support and homeopathy or placebo) for overweight and obesity in Mexican adolescents. Half of study participants will receive the multidisciplinary intervention plus Calcarea carbonica ostrearum, a homeopathic medicine, while the other half will receive the same multidisciplinary intervention plus placebo.
Using a randomized two-group, repeated measures experimental design, the goal of the proposed study is to investigate the efficacy of a 12-week nutrition and exercise education, physical activity, coping skills training, and home-based physical activity intervention in Hispanic women and their 3-5 year old children and 6 months of continued monthly contact to help overweight and obese Hispanic mothers improve adiposity, weight, health behaviors, and self-efficacy and their 3-5 year old children improve their adiposity and weight gain trajectory and health behaviors.
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that providers screen children aged 6 years and older for obesity and offer or refer them to a comprehensive behavioral intervention (≥26 hours over a period of up to 12 months) to promote improvement in weight status. Family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) is an effective treatment that targets both child and parents and meets the USPSTF recommendations. By contrast, the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends a staged approach to childhood obesity screening and counseling, which begins with prevention counseling by the primary care provider (PCP) and includes assessment of weight status, patient/family motivation and readiness to change, promotion of healthy eating and activity habits, and use of health behavior change strategies. Our study compares a staged approach enhanced standard of care (eSOC) vs. eSOC + FBT, to provide families and PCPs with information on the best intervention approach for the behavioral treatment of childhood obesity. Our project seeks to fill the gap in the evidence on family-based weight management in primary care settings among diverse and underserved populations with a special focus on Black children, families insured by Medicaid, and sex differences.
To determine whether treatment with the ENaC inhibitor, amiloride, improves endothelial function and arterial stiffness in obese insulin resistant subjects in a randomized placebo-controlled trial examining pre and postmenopausal women and age-matched men.
This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial, aiming to evaluate the effects of vaginal seeding on body mass index as well as allergy risk for cesarean-delivered infants. It will be conducted in Liuyang city of China, and the targeted sample size is 106. All the eligible pregnant women will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group, and their babies of the participants will be followed up to 24 months of age.
This project seeks to improve the effectiveness of a novel dissonance-based obesity prevention program that has reduced future BMI gain and overweight/obesity onset by (a) experimentally testing whether implementing it in single- versus mixed-sex groups, which should increase dissonance-induction that contributes to weight gain prevention effects, and (b) experimentally testing whether adding food response and attention training, which theoretically reduces valuation of and attention for high-calorie foods, increases weight gain prevention effects. This randomized trial would be the first to experimentally manipulate these two factors in an effort to produce superior weight gain prevention effects. A brief effective obesity prevention program that can be easily, inexpensively, and broadly implemented to late adolescents at risk for excess weight gain, as has been the case with another dissonance-based prevention program, could markedly reduce the prevalence of obesity and associated morbidity and mortality.
This a controlled, double-blind, randomized, cross designed study to determine the effect of an alcohol-free beer with low glycemic index carbohydrates (isomaltulose) and a resistant maltodextrin, comparing to an alcohol-free beer with regular composition, on glycemic metabolism (glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin and HOMA index) in subjects with recently diagnosed diabetes mellitus and overweight or obesity. 44 subjects were randomized to consume for 10 weeks: a) two alcohol-free beers with regular carbohydrates composition per day; b) two alcohol-free beers with modified carbohydrates composition per day. Those subjects randomized to begin with A beer during 10 weeks will change to B beer during the second phase for 10 weeks and vice versa. There is a 4-8 weeks wash-out period between two phases.
