Filter by:The purpose of this research is to compare two healthy diet styles during pregnancy. Sixty pregnant women between 8 and 16 weeks will participate. Participates will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to either receive routine healthy diet advice and counseling, or to receive advice and counseling for the Mediterranean style diet. Our current routine healthy diet program follows the recommendations provided by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). It recommends the consumption of grains, fruits, vegetables, protein foods, and dairy foods during pregnancy. The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) is a well-known healthy diet that consists of a large amount of plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts with olive oil as the principal source of fat. Dairy, fish, and poultry are consumed in moderation and red meat only eaten occasionally. Throughout their pregnancy, participants will receive free food and be assessed to determine how will they are following to the diet plan they were randomized to.
Concurrent and aerobic physical exercise are recognized strategies for the treatment of overweight and obesity. The interventions of these modalities have been performed with cardiovascular machines or guided execution in their majority, making it possible to improve the health of this population; however, the studies have used high-cost equipment that is not very accessible to the general population. For this reason, we propose to compare the effects of two 12-week programs: concurrent vs. aerobic, using an innovative methodology with musicalized and outdoor activities, little approached by research. The polarized training intensity distribution model, usually used in sports and now applied to physical activity to improve VO2max, muscular strength, and body composition, will be used to determine which intervention is superior in improving these variables.
Primary objective: To examine the impact of the sustained use of the health app and smart body fat scale on weight management and patient engagement Secondary objectives: 1. To compare the difference in weight loss between the participants who have good compliance to app + scale protocol and the participants who have bad compliance 2. To evaluate the longitudinal association between self-monitoring adherence and percent weight loss. 3. To evaluate the prospective association between monthly % weight loss and the subsequent month of self-monitoring adherence List the clinical hypotheses: 1. At least 50% of participants will achieve 7% weight reduction compared with baseline by self-weight monitoring using smart body fat scale and health app. 2. The self-monitoring adherence is associated with greater weight loss. 3. The monthly weight loss is associated with the subsequent month of self-monitoring adherence. 4. The self-weight monitoring using smart body fat scale and health app are feasible by evaluating the compliance and completeness of the data.
This study will investigate the feasibility of combining an app-based Mindfulness training (MT) with at-home administered transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in adults with overweight or obesity and assess whether MT with tDCS may improve weight-related behaviours in this population. Specifically, the study will assess whether MT+ active tDCS, as opposed to MT+ sham tDCS or waiting list control, reduces high calorie food craving and consumption. Findings will inform the development of a future large-scale randomised controlled trial. The trial will be conducted in the UK.
The objective of this study is to design and refine an activity support program for overweight or obese adults called Move. The primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the Move physical activity support program.
This observational study aims to detect serum levels of Developmental Endothelial Locus-1 (DEL-1), Platelet Count, and Soluble P-selectin (sP-sel) in Overweight and Obese Subjects. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a difference in serum DEl-1 levels in overweight and obese subjects compared to normal subjects? - Are there any relations between serum DEL-1 levels, sP-sel, and platelet count in overweight and obese subjects ?
This study is a clinical trial will be carried out during academic term to assess the potential effects of the Daily Mile program on health-related physical fitness and sleep quality on overweight/obese schoolchildren.The trial will be taken place in Bucaramanga, Colombia
The investigators hypothesize that weight loss obtained with the French RNPC weight reduction program is beneficial for the general health of overweight/obese patients in the medium term. The objective of this cohort study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the RNPC program on the reduction of drug or instrumental treatments (for example, continuous positive pressure ventilation for the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome) and the improvement of overweight/obesity-associated comorbidities in the medium term. This is a multicenter clinical study, as part of routine care, with standardized nutritional care (RNPC Program) in all RNPC centers in France. A cohort will be formed based on the clinical and biological data usually collected in the centers, enriched by data from additional clinical and biological examinations as well as by self-questionnaires completed by the participants. About 10,000 overweight or obese participants will be included for 2 years and followed 5 years. The SCOOP-RNPC study will have benefits for individual participants, for the scientific community in terms of knowledge acquired and for society with a better definition of the impact of treatments. Responding to the major public health issue represented by overweight, this prospective cohort of overweight or obese patients will make it possible to evaluate, in real-life conditions, the effects of weight loss obtained by the RNPC Program in the short, medium and long term on biological parameters predictive of cardiometabolic risk, drug consumption, quality of life, diet and eating behavior, sleep, physical activity, stress/anxiety, as well as depression. This cohort will make it possible to identify clinical phenotypes and biomarkers to optimize the personalization of the management of overweight or obese patients, in particular those at risk of developing comorbidities associated with excess weight.
This research aims to clarify the best way to perform subcutaneous tissue closure in overweight and obese patients undergoing caesarean section to reduce the occurrence of surgical site infections. This Study seeks to get some local perspective on the need for and type of subcutaneous fat closure in obese women undergoing cesarean section, thereby reducing Surgical Site Infection. This is a pilot; double- blinded randomized control trial, with balanced randomization (1:1) and parallel grouped study. The sample size calculated by Raosoft Sample Size Calculator Software determined that based on a margin of error of 5%, there would need to be 266 participants to give 90% confidence level to detect a significant difference between both arms of the study. Patients who are immune-compromised, those with anemia, requiring transfusion will be excluded from the study, also any mother who wishes not to participate. Patients will be reviewed 7 days post operatively. Wound complications will be identified by a questionnaire by telephone at 4 weeks and 3 months post operatively. Data will be collected from Specific closed answer questions. Data extraction sheet will be used to collect data for the patient. This information will be collected either from the docket, direct review or examination of the study participants. The research will be done at Victoria Jubilee Hospital. The Research will last six months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to see the comparison of normal walking vs brisk walking on body fat, hypertension, diabetes, and level of happiness in over-weight adults. The main question it aims to answer is: Will there be a difference between the effectiveness of normal walking and brisk walking on improving body fat, hypertension, diabetes, and level of happiness in over-weight adults.. The participants will be divided into two groups; group A and group B. Group A will perform normal walk and Group B will perform brisk walk.
