Filter by:This two-group RCT, the Mindful-Healthy Family project, will test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a mindfulness-based Motivational Interviewing (MM-based-MI) intervention with rural families within Michigan. This two-group RCT will enroll 34-60 families from Michigan rural or suburban communities with one OW/O parent-figure adult (BMI ≥25) who has at least one child (ages 3-6) at home. The targeted parents will serve as the change agent. The outcome assessments include BMI and optional hair cortisol as well as parent's collective family efficacy, perceived stress, depression score, 24 hours dietary recall (ASA24; healthy eating index [HEI]), mindful eating score, Physical Activity (IPAQ-short) at both baseline and post-intervention. These intervention group families will receive 9 online sessions (30 min/session) delivered via Zoom or phone calls every other week by trained research staff. BMI will be obtained directly from the participating parents using the scale delivered to their homes. Attention control arm families will have same assessment and will receive a total of 9 mailed packets of educational materials. This work will advance the science by explicating how MM and MI work synergistically.
Main objective of this clinical trial is to compare the oxidation rates of main carbohydrate and lipid substrates during exercises carried out in eccentric dynamic pedaling mode on a cycloergometer compared to concentric exercises (classic pedaling) at the same oxygen consumption (VO2). The hypothesis is that lipid oxidation during an eccentric exercise is higher than lipid oxidation during a concentric exercise, done in humans at the capacity of 30% of VO2max.
Non-communicable diseases (NCD) are the main health challenge in industrialized countries. However, these diseases are preventable if an intervention based on lifestyle is implemented at the population level. Diet has a great impact on the onset and progression of NCD. In this regard, ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has been related to higher morbidity and mortality. UPF are defined as "formulations made mostly or entirely from substances derived from foods and additives, with little if any intact unprocessed or minimally processed foods" (NOVA definition). UPF are rich in saturated fats and additives and poor in fiber other nutrients. UPF consumption has raised in the last decades in the industrialized countries and this increase has been associated with higher prevalence of metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. However, mechanisms that link UPF consumption with NCD are poorly understood and clinical trials are needed to unravel these mechanisms and how to impact on them through lifestyle interventions. The investigators have previously identified DNA methylation marks associated with UPF consumption. DNA methylation marks are modifiable. The aim of the study is to assay if DNA methylation marks related to UPF consumption are reversible by reducing UPF consumption in a population of adults with overweight or obesity and with a high basal UPF consumption (>35% of total food consumption in g/day).
To investigate the efficacy of weight management plus levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) or megestrol acetate (MA) in obese patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) asking for conservative therapy.
To investigate the efficacy of weight management plus megestrol acetate in obese patients with early endometrioid carcinoma（EEC）asking for fertility-sparing treatment
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3502970 in healthy overweight and obese participants. The blood tests will be conducted to measure how much LY3502970 is in the bloodstream and how the body handles and eliminates LY3502970 in these participants. The study will last up to 42 days excluding the screening period.
The aims of this study was to compare two isoenergetic HIIT (High-intensity Interval training) programs (cycling vs. running) on body composition, substrate oxidation at rest and during a moderate exercise, muscle functionality, glycaemic control, lipid profile, inflammation, maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) and gut microbiota composition in men with overweight or obesity. The investigators hypothesized that both programs could decrease total, abdominal and visceral fat mass but due to differences in muscle solicitation, metabolism adaptation and blood flow, and that running could favors greater fat mass losses.
In Spain, obesity epidemic is one of the leading contributors of chronic disease and disability. Obesity is associated with higher morbidity and all-cause mortality risk especially when fat is stored in the abdominal area (i.e., increased visceral adipose tissue, VAT). Although current approaches such as energy restriction may be effective at reducing body fat and improving cardiometabolic health, their long-term adherences are limited. Time-restricted eating (TRE; e.g., 8 hours eating: 16 hours fasting on a daily basis) is a recently emerged intermittent fasting approach with promising cardiovascular benefits. Results from pioneering pilot studies in humans are promising and suggest that simply reducing the eating time window from ≥12 to ≤8-10 hours/day improves cardiometabolic health. However, currently, there is no consensus regarding whether the TRE eating window should be aligned to the early or middle to late part of the day. The EXTREME study will investigate the efficacy and feasibility of three different 8 hours TRE schedules (i.e., early, late and self-selected) over 12 weeks on VAT (main outcome) and cardiometabolic risk factors (secondary outcomes) in adults with overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity. The final goal of the EXTREME study is to demonstrate the health benefits of a novel and pragmatic intervention for the treatment of obesity and related cardiometabolic risk factors; an approach readily adaptable to real-world practice settings, easy for clinicians to deliver, and intuitive for patients to implement and maintain in their lives.
This is an Randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the impact of meal planning and affordable grocery delivery on weight loss, dietary quality and health on members of multigenerational Latino households.
The EAT-Lancet Commission proposed the planetary health diet as a strategy to achieve health and sustainability goals. Currently, its effect in the treatment of obesity has not been evaluated. The main aim is to evaluate the efficacy of the planetary health diet included in an intensive lifestyle change program compared to a waiting list group, on weight and body fat at 4 months, in Mexican adults with overweight or obesity, in an online modality. This study is a 4-month randomized controlled trial, in an online modality in individuals with overweight or obesity randomly assigned 1:1:1 to one of three groups: 1) planetary health diet, 2) waiting list and 3) low fat-diet. The primary outcome is the difference in change in weight (kg) and body fat (kg) at 4 months between the planetary health diet group and the waiting list group. Comparison with the low-fat diet group will be an exploratory analysis. Secondary variables include changes in waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, and health-related quality of life. Between group comparisons will be analyzed by intention-to-treat. The protocol was approved by a Research Bioethics Committee.
