Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a healthy KETO diet supplemented with canola oil (KETO-Can) compared to a traditional KETO diet high in saturated fat (KETO-Sat) and low-fat diet (LFD) in adults at high risk of or diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Effects on CVD risk factors (plasma cholesterol, TG, ApoB100, glucose, insulin and HbA1C). - Effects on systemic inflammation and immune function. - Safety and adherence to interventions. Participants will be randomized into 1 of the dietary treatments during which they will follow a Keto or a low-fat diet. Comparisons among groups at 3 and 6 months of intervention will be conducted.
It is already known that dysbiosis, that is, qualitative and quantitative changes in the composition of the intestinal microbiota, can be associated with the development of a series of intestinal and extra-intestinal disorders. Dysbiosis is reported in irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, allergic diseases, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, arteriosclerotic diseases, neurological diseases and metabolic syndromes, mainly diabetes and obesity. Among the many factors that play a key role in obesity, a number of studies show the intestinal microbiota as an important contributor. Many studies carried out with probiotics have shown that their administration can be effective in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Furthermore, it is found that benefits for body weight, abdominal adiposity, anthropometric measurements and body composition are often associated with favorable metabolic effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of obesity on cardiovascular responses during various breathing maneuvers.
The study is a single site parallel randomized controlled study. The study will be assessing the effect of approximately 10% weight loss intervention vs a control group among healthy females/couples where the prospective mother is overweight or obese (BMI 27-45 kg/m^2) and between 18-38 years. The investigators will recruit a total of 240 healthy females/couples who will be randomized 1:1 to either intervention or control, stratified according to maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. The overall objective is to test whether a comprehensive pre-conceptional parental weight loss intervention effectively reduces the risk of offspring overweight and adiposity and its complications compared to a control group. The investigators hypothesize that parental weight loss intervention, initiated before conception, will facilitate lower parental insulin resistance, inflammation, body weight and adiposity, incretin responses compared to usual care. For the offspring the investigators hypothesize that the intervention will reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes with a reduction in offspring neonatal adiposity, reduced risk of being born large for gestational age (LGA) and with lower BMI z-score at 18 months.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of immature ponkan (Citrus reticulate) extract on body weight and body fat in overweight and obese adults.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of H42-HV integrated into home visiting compared with usual home visiting services in reducing postpartum weight retention (difference between pre-pregnancy weight and weight at 6 months postpartum) among pregnant and postpartum people. The intervention is tailored for Black and Latinx pregnant and postpartum people and, ultimately, aims to address inequities in cardiometabolic health.
The "Super Rehab: a novel approach to reverse atrial fibrillation?" study proposes to test the use of a novel lifestyle intervention (Super Rehab), in addition to standard care, for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) requiring rhythm control strategy who are overweight. As the main driver behind the selection of a rhythm-control strategy for patients with AF, the primary outcome will be an improvement in AF-related symptoms with Super Rehab versus Usual Care only. Key secondary outcomes will include the burden of AF, change in stroke risk, biochemical and cardiac functional and structural changes, and markers of quality-of-life and health economic costs.
The present study is a pilot study examining whether long-term sourdough bread consumption reduces energy intake and blood lipids levels over a period of 4 weeks in free-living normalweight and overweight participants.
The retrospective cohort study will compare the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors between older patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and older patients with obesity without previous bariatric surgery.
Introduction: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has risen from just 4% in 1975 to more than 18% in 2016. Little is known about adiposity of the infant, but it positively associates to the mother's BMI. Globally, the prevalence of overweight has tripled since 1975 and is now affecting one of three Danish women at the time of pregnancy. However, despite increasing awareness of obesity and accumulating evidence of its health consequences limited effect of intervention in childhood obesity exists. Maternal obesity before conception, an excessive increase in body weight during pregnancy and physical inactivity are some of the risk factors suspected of infant adiposity. Lifestyle interventions during pregnancy have shown limited or no effect in the offspring. Therefore, renewed effort to improve the prevention of childhood obesity is warranted. Methods and analysis: This is a randomized, parallel group, tailored, multifactorial lifestyle intervention trial in women (age 18 to 38 years) with overweight or obesity (BMI 27 to 42 kg/m2) seeking pregnancy. The women are randomized 1:1 to either the lifestyle or standard of care group. The lifestyle intervention is initiated prior to pregnancy. The lifestyle intervention is set off with a low-calorie diet for 8 weeks and throughout the intervention period (prior to and during pregnancy) participants follow an intervention containing exercise according to the World Health Organization guidelines, healthy diet and mentorship to maintain healthy weight before and during pregnancy.The primary outcome is the difference in neonatal adiposity measured at birth. Finally, a child and family cohort will be established to follow the children throughout childhood for healthy weight development. The study will provide evidence of effects from pre-conception-initiated intervention and have the potential to improve health and quality of life for children. Ethics and dissemination: The trial has been approved by the ethical committee of the Capital Region of Denmark (H-22011403) The trial will be conducted in agreement with the Declaration of Helsinki and monitored to follow the guidelines for good clinical practice. Results will be submitted for publication in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
