Filter by:The purpose of this study is to Conduct a proof of concept study to assess feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of an Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) -supported healthy lifestyle behavioral intervention among adolescent patients, their families, and their clinical team.
Obese individuals need to be evaluated comprehensively before exercise programs are determined. Determination of exercise intolerance is important for the detection of functional limitations. One minute sit to stand test (1MSTST) can be used as an alternative to cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) or field tests. It is easy to use, quick to apply, valid and reliable, and applicable even in small areas. In addition, it is a simple assessment adequate for children's needs and behaviors and can be easily applied both in the clinic and at home, making it easier to use in children. Studies have shown that 1MSTST is a valid test in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, and, healthy children and adolescents. However, no study has been found regarding the validity of its use in obese children and adolescents.The aim of our study is to investigate the validity and reliability of 1MSTST in overweight-obese children and adolescents.
This is the Phase 2 pilot/feasibility randomized controlled trial of HALO (Health And Lifestyle Behaviors In Offspring), a parent-led behavioral intervention targeting a high-risk pediatric population (i.e., residing offspring ages 6-12; body mass index > the 70th and < 120% of the 95th percentiles of mothers with severe obesity) that is uniquely well-timed, when mothers are highly engaged in behavior change and losing weight during the first year following bariatric surgery.
The aim of the CArdioMetabolic Prevention (CAMP) pilot study is to investigate the effect of a group intervention on lifestyle in adolescents and on at least one adult family member. This will be followed by telemedicine tools for 12-week-time period. A face-to-face group intervention addressing nutrition, physical activity and well being together with an assessment of anthropometry parameters, body composition, questionnaires, blood and stool sampling will be done before and after 12 weeks of telemedicine. The study aims to investigate: - the effect of 12-week intervention on body weight, anthropometry parameters and cardiometabolic markers in comparison to the conventionally led obesity clinic for adolescents - the compliance with telemedicine tools that will focus on the support of balance nutrition, physical activity (evaluation of daily steps through smart bands) and family well being in regards to the effect on anthropometry and laboratory parameters - the effect of the intervention on data from questionnaires (eating disorders, quality of life, psychological health) before and after the intervention - data analysis of family members with respect to theirs offspring
In this study it is researched how preventive and curative healthcare for children with overweight and obesity was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic, which barriers were noticed by professionals, and how new methods (such as e-health and telemonitorning) for coaching, communication and healthcare were used and experienced.
Hispanic men and children experience health disparities for overweight and obesity-related medical conditions, and therefore family level obesity prevention programs for Hispanic populations are needed. 'Healthy Dads Healthy Kids' is the first program to primarily target fathers for obesity prevention for themselves and their children, with significant and clinically relevant treatment effects. This is an efficacy trial to assess a culturally adapted 'Healthy Dads Healthy Kids' for Hispanic families.
To evaluate the effect of high intensity children's games compared with those of medium intensity on cardiac autonomic regulation, obesity biomarkers and body composition in Boys and Girls from 6 to 9 years old with Obesity or Overweight
Childhood obesity in Singapore is rising with a record prevalence of 13% in 2017 (1). Given that 70% of overweight children remain so into adulthood (2), this will further increase the public health epidemic of diabetes among Singaporeans. Early intervention is thus critical to improve the weight trajectory of overweight children and foster life long healthy lifestyle habits. Family-based interventions combining dietary, physical activity and behavioural interventions are currently recommended as the best practice in the management of childhood obesity in children younger than 12 years old (3-7). Our pilot study on family-based intervention in the tertiary setting demonstrated feasibility and short-term effectiveness. However, its outreach and sustainable results are limited. Currently, school-based screening, weight management clinics and community recreational facilities are operating in silos with limited effectiveness. Here, the investigators will integrate our family-based intervention into a school, clinic and community partnership to achieve an impactful and sustainable outcome for families with overweight children. The community Lifestyle InTervention for Everyone (LITE) program is a structured, group family-based multicomponent lifestyle intervention. Community LITE program will introduce various exercise programs within the family based online sessions to reduce perceived barrier and promote self-efficacy of community sports facilities to increase physical activity. Children have minimal control over their food and physical activity choices especially in current obesogenic environment (8). Parents are the most important influencers(9) to impose interventions for childhood obesity through parental practices and parenting style(10). Therefore, they are the main focus of the community-based intervention program.
Investigators propose to study youth across the spectrum of body mass index (BMI) and dysglycemia. This approach will allow investigators to disentangle the relationship of key features of type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk (e.g. obesity) with intermediary physiologic changes (e.g. insulin resistance, inflammation, β-cell dysfunction and dysglycemia) that pose a risk for the brain. Investigators will determine which of these factors are most associated with differences in brain structure and function among groups, over time, and how these effects differ from normal neurodevelopment.
A retrospective study to investigate the method called The Halland Obesity Municipal Effort for children. All children participating in the intervention since the start of this specific method will be eligible for inclusion. The aims are to describe participants and the method-specific activities they are participating in, as well as the effect on their health and school grades.
