Filter by:This research will be a continuation of 2015-2017 research projects of smart phone APP research granted by Ministry of Science and Technology. First of all, a four-wave-cross-sectional survey by cluster sampling is used to recruit 90 adolescents aged 13-19 from high school, vocational schools or colleges to test the feasibility of the health literacy-based weight-control program. In the second stage, a two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be applied to recruit 240 overweight or obese teenagers to receive health literacy-based mobile Health App, smart sports watch Fitbit versa during the 12 months weight control program. Based on the previous research evidences, the outcome follow up will be scheduled on 3 months, 9 months, 15 months, and 21 months after the mobile Health Apps intervention. Short-term outcome indicators include health literacy, diet pattern, and dietary behaviors; long-term outcome indicators include BMI z-score, waist circumference. Intention-to-treat analysis, generalized linear mixed models with repeated measures, multiple regression analysis model, and counterfactual causal Inference will be applied to analyze the effectiveness of the interventions.
The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial with four parallel arms including four dairy products. We will investigate the health effects of including yogurt in the diet through a 16-weeks intervention period among 100 volunteering males with symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. The study has a total duration of 20 weeks as a wash out period of four weeks will be initiated prior to the intervention.
The goal of this pilot trial is to pilot test an intervention to help prevent weight gain or produce weight loss among adults with obesity. Participants are asked to self-weigh on a smart scale for one year. Feasibility and acceptability outcomes are examined.
The purpose of this pilot study is to explore the benefits of supplementing the WW (formerly Weight Watchers) online program with a cognitive training game (PolyRules!) among adults with overweight or obesity.
The purpose of this pilot study is to explore the benefits of supplementing the Kurbo online program with a cognitive training game (PolyRules!) among youth ages 7-13 with overweight or obesity.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of a physiotherapist-delivered dietary weight loss program on clinical outcomes among people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who have overweight or obesity. The primary hypothesis is that a physiotherapist-delivered dietary weight loss plus exercise program will be more effective in achieving weight loss than a physiotherapist-delivered exercise program alone. Approximately 6-9 physiotherapists in Melbourne, Australia will be recruited and trained in weight management for OA patients, as well as trained in how to deliver the specific study interventions. The same therapists will deliver the intervention in both arms of the trial. 88 participants with knee OA will be recruited from the community and randomized into one of the two arms a) diet plus exercise intervention or b) exercise intervention alone. Participants in both groups will be asked to attend 6 consultations with the physiotherapist over 6 months. Questionnaire and laboratory-based outcome measures will be completed by participants at baseline and at the end of the 6 month intervention period. A biostatistician will analyse blinded, de-identified data.
LIMITFOOD is a randomized clinical intervention study that investigates the effects of two different intermittent fasting protocols compared to a control group on the health of normal- and overweight adults. A total of 72 participants will be randomized into three equally sized groups: an alternate day fasting, a time-restricted feeding and a control group.
The detrimental effect of overweight and obesity on fecundity has been well documented. The investigators wish to investigate the intervention program for weight loss before fertility treatment. Subsequently to gain knowledge on the effect of overweight/obesity and weight loss on the vaginal microbiome, on DNA damage on sperm cells, on the occurrence of endocrine disruptors in the endometrium, and on the gene expression in the endometrium.
The purpose of this study is to examine the lifestyle intervention on life quality and mental health among overweight adults with severe mental illness in Shenzhen, China. A total of 210 overweight adults with severe mental illness will be randomly allocated to intervention group and control group. Participants in the intervention groups will receive a 10-month lifestyle intervention while the control group will be waitlisted. A group of investigators will measure the anthropocentric indicators, blood pressure, lifestyle, life quality, and mental health for all participants.
The use of dietary amino acids has been explored for therapeutic and safety intervention of obesity and obesity-induced dysfunction. In particular, 3 molecules have been shown to be effective both in the animal model and in humans, in promoting the loss of fat mass, specifically visceral adipose tissue, and in maintaining free fat mass: arginine, glutamine and leucine (and its metabolite beta hydroxy methyl butyrate, HMB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy in terms of fat mass, in particular Visceral Adipose Tissue reduction, as primary end point, in obese patients following the administration of specific food for special medical purposes (FSMP) for muscle recovery, consisting of arginine, glutamine and HMB. The secondary end point is the evaluation of skin state, by a validate self-reported questionnaire survey to assess skin, after 4- weeks intake of this FSMP.
