Filter by:The overall aim is to investigate effects of acute exercise on ad libitum energy intake and study whether this differs between morning and evening in individuals with overweight/obesity with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). Furthermore, the aim is to examine the role of hedonic and homeostatic drivers of appetite control in obesity and T2D in the context of meal and exercise timing.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single ascending doses of ALN-KHK and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK and PD of multiple doses of KHK.
Type 1 Diabetes carries high burden for affected youth and their families. Advances in insulin therapy and technology have been associated with increased obesity with 1/3 adolescents being overweight/obese. Since obesity runs in families and carries risk for poor outcomes psychologically and medically, the investigators are adapting our successful evidence-based Family Based Treatment for hybrid delivery to improve obesity and metabolic control in the affected youth and improve obesity and related co-morbidities in their parents.
This study seeks to test I MOVE!+UP, which integrates individual evidence-based psychotherapy for PTSD with behavioral weight management among Veterans with a Body Mass Index of at least 30 and meeting criteria for current PTSD. Participants will continue receiving routine primary care and psychiatric care management as indicated, in coordination with the I MOVE!+UP therapist. This study is being conducted to see whether I MOVE!+UP holds promise as a treatment for commonly co-occurring PTSD and high Body Mass Index. Participation will involve attending up to 16 psychotherapy visits that last approximately 1-2 hours over 6 months and attending 2 study assessment visits that last approximately 1-2 hours at enrollment and 6 months. Active participation will take up to approximately 6 months.
The investigators will determine the acute effect of exercise on breastmilk composition. Participants will come in to the lab on three different days, out of which they will exercise on two of these days and rest in the lab on the third day. The conditions will be randomly allocated to each participant. Breastmilk samples will be obtained in the morning of each test day, as well as immediately after, one hour after and four hours after the exercise/rest condition. Dietary intake will be standardized on the test days.
The NHS has started a trial-run of a weight loss programme replacing food with 800-calorie shakes and soups for 3 months, offered to people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) to lose weight and put their diabetes into remission. Some healthcare professionals and charities are sceptical about the programme's effect on people's mental health. They fear it may trigger people to have a negative relationship with food (disordered eating). Some studies show indirectly that these programmes are somewhat safe; however it is not known for sure if it could affect people's relationship with food for the worse. Investigators will invite 56 people with T2D and disordered eating (picked up by questionnaires they will fill in) to participate in a trial. Of these participants, 28 will get TDR and the rest will get their standard care. Investigators will then measure how their scores of disordered eating change at 1, 3, 4, 6 and 12 months. Investigators also plan to analyse the recorded sessions to better understand participants' experiences using TDR and their thoughts about eating and body image. This study will help shed light on how safe this type of diet is for people with disordered eating. It may lead to screening for eating disorders if TDR becomes standard care. If concerns are unfounded, it can reassure people with type 2 diabetes and healthcare professionals.
Croatia is according to statistical data one of the countries in the European Union with the highest percentages of overweight and obese inhabitants. Since the nature of obesity is multifactorial, a multidisciplinary team should treat it in a comprehensive way. A healthy lifestyle, based on the promotion of a particular dietary pattern, regular physical activity, psychological support, education, and small group intervention results in weight loss. We are aiming to develop a five-days small group-based lifestyle modification program on weight loss that would be appropriate in the general practice and outpatient setting facilities. A structured 5-day lifestyle modification program led by endocrinologists-diabetologists together with a nutritionist, a psychologist, and a kinesiologist is aiming to educate on lifestyle modification necessary to lose weight.
Randomized stratified controlled clinical study for evaluate the effectiveness of a diet program designed for reduce body weight through standard and innovative products that are a substitute meal for weight management in a reduction diet.
Grounded in the principles of geroscience, the proposed Fasting ENHANCE study will test whether a time restricted eating (TRE) regimen can improve cognitive function and other aspects of successful aging in a safe and sustainable manner in at risk overweight older adults. Specifically, this study will evaluate whether TRE can improve cognitive and physical function, as well as self-reported sleep, mood, and quality of life, in overweight, older adults (age > 65 years) who are at high risk of cognitive decline due to self-reported cognitive difficulties. Eligible participants will be assigned to either a TRE intervention, in which they will be instructed to fast for a target of 16 hours per day, or a successful aging (SA) comparison group for a 24-week period.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of mobile health applications in improving health outcomes in patients with overweight and obesity. This study will involve a 6-month long commitment where participants will be expected to use an mHealth app daily, weigh themselves and check their fasting blood glucose levels every morning.
