This study will be conducted to investigate the impact of variant weights in adolescents during unperturbed standing conditions.
Lifestyle, activity, and feeding behaviours during early childhood set the foundation for subsequent lifelong metabolic health as an adult. The investigators have developed a digital tool, called Feeding, Lifestyle, Activity Goals (FLAGs) to assess lifestyle and feeding behaviours of young infants, simultaneously providing guidance and tailored advice for parents on ideal practices specific to their children. The investigators aim to assess its usability, acceptability, and feasibility , before proceeding to determine efficacy of the FLAGs intervention through conducting a randomized controlled trial, enrolling 440 infants from KK Women's and Children's Hospital. Half of them will receive standard routine infant care, whereas the other half will additionally receive the digital FLAGs assessment and advisory tool, complete with mobile nudges. The follow-up period will be over 12 months, with the main outcomes being i) indicators of good feeding and lifestyle behaviour at 12 months old, and ii) physical growth trends, body fat proportions. Demonstrating the benefits of using FLAGs will underscore the importance of integrating this digitalized tool into the screening and evaluation of well children, with the potential to be upscaled and adopted across hospitals, primary care, and community-based health programmes.
The PinPo program aims to carry out a comprehensive intervention for children aged 6 to 12 years with childhood obesity (with a BMI greater than the 99th percentile), fostering motivation and encouraging changes toward healthy lifestyle habits to achieve greater adherence and improved health. The program comprises 9 educational sessions designed by specialized professionals from various disciplines (pediatrics, psychology, nursing, nutrition), for a group of 10 children and another group of 10 family members and/or caregivers. These sessions are conducted in a hospital setting every 15 days, each lasting 90 minutes.
The purpose of the study is to re-examine body composition, respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and dyspnea on exertion (DOE) in children with obesity (CWO) and children without obesity (CWOO) who were originally studied as 8-12-year-olds between 2016-2023 (i.e., originally Tanner score ≤ 3; 90 participants; 26 CWOO & 64 CWO). Additionally, the investigators will study the effects of weight loss on body composition, respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and DOE in CWO.
The goal of this study is to compare two types of exercises, isometric exercise (like squats and planks) and aerobic exercise (such as running), to see which one is more effective at improving blood pressure in teenagers aged 13 to 17.5 years. The main question the study aims to answer is: - Do the effects of one session of isometric exercise on the blood pressure of adolescents compare to the effects of one session of aerobic exercise? Adolescents diagnosed with high blood pressure may qualify for this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a single session of isometric exercise or a single session of aerobic exercise. - Participants will attend 3 study visits in total. - Study visits should be completed within 4 weeks of enrollment. - At the initial visit, samples (example: blood) will be collected and body measurements will be taken. - Participants will be asked to answer questionnaires (diet, growth, and others) - At visit 2, participants will have their blood pressure measured using a 24 hour blood pressure monitor. - At visit 3, participants will participate in a single session of either aerobic or isometric exercise. They will wear a 24-hour blood pressure monitor immediately after the exercise session.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test effectiveness of "The Healthy Choices Program, in adolescents. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Effectiveness of Healthy Choices on Body Mass Index 2. Effectiveness of Healthy Choices on Health Attitude, Nutrition and Physical Activity Knowledge 3. Effectiveness of Healthy Choices on Fruit,vegetable, water consumption
This study aims to evaluate if a web-based digital support system aiming to replacing or complement standardized pediatric behavioural obesity treatment. The hypothesis is that a digital system of communication between the family and the clinic can generate improved treatment results (change in BMI SDS) and reduce the number of missed visits.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CHAMPION ("Comparative-effectiveness of a Healthy lifestyle and Asthma Management Program, In-person vs ONline"), a primary care-based intervention to address childhood obesity and asthma, and test the effectiveness of a telehealth-only version of the program. Intensive Health Behavior and Lifestyle Treatment (IHBLT), when delivered via telehealth vs. in-person among children with overweight or obesity and persistent asthma.
The study investigates the genetic backgrounds of extreme childhood obesity (using saliva sample) and contains short online questionnaires on family history, phenotypical characteristics and hunger behavior. It is an observational study in a predefined cohort (subjects with data in CrescNet aged 0-18 with BMI measurement(s) above the 99.5th percentile). Recruitment will initially be from CrescNet data through the cooperating pediatric and adolescent medical institutions associated with these initiative of data collection in Germany.
