Older adults from ethnic minorities show on average a worse disease risk profile compared to the majority populations. An important risk factor to develop chronic diseases is the loss of muscle mass and functioning, also known as sarcopenia. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed that the combination of adequate protein intake and physical exercise is most effective to prevent the loss of muscle mass, strength and functioning in older adults. However, until shortly, no intervention that included protein and exercise was available that accounted for the special socio-cultural needs of ethnic minority populations. Therefore the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) and ProMIO project group developed a cultural sensitive lifestyle intervention with protein and exercise carried out by dieticians and physical therapists to provide a tailored treatment for older adults from ethnic minorities. This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this new intervention on protein intake, physical activity behavior, muscle mass, muscle strength, function and quality of life. The cost-effectiveness of this new intervention will also be evaluated.
In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically worldwide, of which 34.3% and 16.4% of adults in China are overweight and obese, respectively, ranking first in the world's obese population. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors that inhibits glucose reabsorption and promotes urinary glucose excretion by inhibiting renal proximal tubular sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The urinary glucose excretion induced by dapagliflozin can induce weight loss through energy loss or body water loss caused by osmotic diuresis. In addition, in patients with type 2 diabetes, dapagliflozin may also induce weight loss by reducing body fat as well as subcutaneous and visceral fat.In a randomized controlled trial, type 2 diabetes patients treated with sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors lost approximately 1-3 kg. Also, sodium-glucose transporter 2 Inhibitors have shown good weight loss in obese people without type 2 diabetes. In real-world studies, a minority of type 2 diabetes patients taking dapagliflozin experienced weight gain. The American Lipid Association defines a low carbohydrate diet as the calorie intake of carbohydrates accounting for 10-25% of the total daily energy intake. In a randomized controlled trial, a low-carbon diet showed a more significant decrease in body weight, fat mass index, whole body fat, and visceral fat after 8 weeks compared to the standard diet. So, this study intends to investigate whether the weight loss effect of dapagliflozin is affected by different dietary structures.
36 middle-aged with overweight adults were divided into three groups: 1. L-HIIT group: the long-interval HIIT group (4 × 4 min Exercise/4 min Rest), 2. M-HIIT group: the medium-interval HIIT group (8 × 2 min Exercise/2 min Rest), 3. Control group: no exercise intervention. All groups carried out the training stage for 8 weeks (three sessions per week) and the detraining stage for 4 weeks in order to investigate the effects induced by different HIIT interventions on inflammation, metabolic adaptation, anti-fatigue and exercise performance, and fat loss.
The prevalence of obesity and obesity-related diseases are on the rise worldwide. The widely accepted approach in dietary treatment of obesity is the calorie-restricted three meals-three snacks a day diet; however, alternative approaches are needed. This study was conceived with a view to comparing time-restricted eating, a method which can be easily conveyed and applied in overcoming obesity, to a six meals a day diet. 174 participants aged between 18-65 with a BMI>25 kg/m2 were included. Diet lists with similar calorie, macro counts suitable for their respective group were prepared. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, blood tests were analyzed before the study and at the end of the 8-week.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in the effect of different lifestyle interventions in overweight and obese participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: - effect on anthropometric measurements - effect on lipid profile - effect on weight-related quality of life - observe the differences between interventions The study participants were stratified into three groups: intervention, control-1, and control-2. - Intervention group: They were given a calorie-restricted diet and exercise plan by a dietician or physiotherapist at their first visit, and were followed up by telephone calls at weeks 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 over 12 weeks. - Control-1 group: During the initial medical interview, the participants were given a calorie-restricted diet programme by a dietician and an exercise programme by a physiotherapist; they were followed up over 12 weeks with telephone calls at week 4. - Control-2 group: The participants were not provided with any programme, and the importance of weight loss was emphasised by the family physicians. Dietary and physical activity advice was given according to the recommendations in the Turkish Endocrine and Metabolism Association 2019 Obesity Diagnosis and Treatment Guide, and was followed up with phone calls at weeks 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 over a 12-weeks.
Obesity raises the risk of chronic illnesses in adults, especially heart disease, type II diabetes, and osteoarthritis. One way to combat obesity is by physical activity, and water-based exercise (hydrotherapy) is recognized as an enhancement of the more common on land physical activity. Obesity is associated with several negative health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), cardiac enlargement, gallbladder disease, diabetes, several cancers, osteoarthritis, and sleeping disorders .In addition to being a significant predictor of coronary heart disease and heart failure. obesity is indirectly related to cardiovascular health through its association with several other CVD risk factors, including hypertension, high cholesterol, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, high triglycerides, and diabetes Therefore, obesity is a primary target for interventions to decrease overall cardiovascular risk. It is a randomized clinical trial conducted at the University OF Central Punjab Lahore. Convenience sampling technique will be used .Participants will be recruited through simple random sampling by sealed opaque envelope method into two Groups .Group A and Group B. Group A:Aqua jogging group: This group will perform aqua jogging for 60 minutes consisting of 10 minutes warming up, 40 minutes aqua jogging or land jogging and 10 minutes cooling down. Group B: Land based jogging group: This group will perform land jogging for 60 minutes consisting of 10 minutes warming up, 40 minutes aqua jogging or land jogging and 10 minutes cooling down. Assessment tools for this study will be cooper's 1.5 miles run test for cardiorespiratory endurance and health related quality of life questionnaire for Quality of life. The study will be completed within 10 months after synopsis approval from ethical Committee of RCRS & AHS .Data will be entered and analysed by SPSS version 25. After assessing the normality of data, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be use within a group or between two groups.
Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are considered two of the most prevalent metabolic diseases linked to the onset of knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Regular exercise has been documented as a principal component of a prevention, management, and treatment strategy for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients. However, evidence-based exercise protocols for individuals with comorbidities such as obesity, T2DM, and KOA are scarce. Thus, the present pragmatic randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a 12-week home-based circuit training (HBCT) protocol on various indicators related to KOA and cardiometabolic health among overweight/obese older adult patients with KOA and T2DM during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods: Seventy overweight or obese patients with KOA and T2DM (62.2 ± 6.1 years; 56% female) were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 35, HBCT) or the no-exercise control group (n = 35, CON). HBCT performed a progressive protocol (seven exercises; 15-30 repetitions per exercise, 1 min passive rest between exercises; 2-4 rounds per session; 20-60 min total session duration). The knee injury and osteoarthritis symptoms, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness, and renal function were assessed at baseline and following the 12-week intervention. Results: HBCT significantly improved HBCT improved the vast majority of outcomes related to cardiometabolic health and knee osteoarthritis symptoms compared to CON (p<0.05). No significant differences were detected in total bilirubin, sodium, urea, resting heart rate, or KOOS-sport between HBCT and CON. Conclusion: These findings suggest that an injury-free HBCT program may improve several cardiometabolic health- and KOA-related indices in overweight/obese patients with T2DM and KOA. Such results may encourage clinicians and practitioners to adopt real-world exercise training approaches when prescribing physical exercise to patients characterized by impaired metabolic and musculoskeletal health.
A key area of obesity research has focused on the link between appetite, energy balance and weight control. Within this area, several appetite-related hormones and cellular cytokines have been identified as key signals influencing appetite and food intake. This includes the appetite-suppressing hormone oxyntomodulin (OXM) and a cellular stress-induced cytokine growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15). The aims of this study are: (1) to investigate the effect of acute moderate-intensity continuous exercise on oxyntomodulin and GDF-15 concentrationsÍž (2) to investigate whether exercise-induced changes in circulating OXM and GDF-15 concentrations are correlated with subjective appetite perceptions and subsequent energy intake.
The purpose of this survey is to collect information for scientific research and to identify the impact of overweight and obesity on health-related quality of life.
