Filter by:Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary manipulation that involves restricting food intake to 6-12 h/day with no energy intake the rest of the day. In rodents, TRE improves metabolic function without caloric restriction, potentially by activating nutrient sensing mechanisms and effects on circadian oscillations. However, an understanding of the effect of TRE on cardiometabolic health in people is not clear and few studies have evaluated this issue. Accordingly, the investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial in people with obesity and prediabetes to determine the effect of 9 h TRE for 12 weeks, without a change in body weight, on key metabolic outcomes that are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD): 1) multi-organ insulin sensitivity; 2) 24 h metabolic homeostasis and diurnal rhythm; and 3) adipose tissue and skeletal muscle biology. The proposed studies will elucidate the cardiometabolic implications of TRE in people with obesity and prediabetes.
The goal of this study is to address the risk of diabetes among men by creating a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) tailored to men.
The purpose of this research is to gather data on how exercise can help recovery of muscle mass, strength, and physical function after bedrest in older adults with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators intend to measure the health impact of TRE in patients with metabolic syndrome (with three or more of the following criteria: increased waist circumference, abnormal cholesterol levels, elevated blood pressure, or elevated blood sugar), who habitually eat for more than 14 hours every day. Patients will be randomly assigned to a control group of behavioral nutrition counseling (standard of care) or the intervention group of behavioral nutrition counseling with the addition of adopting a 8-10 hour eating window for 12 weeks (TRE).
Briefly, participants will be assessed for their eligibility for the study using an oral glucose tolerance test, which involves drinking a sugary drink followed by a series of small blood samples. If eligible, participants will be asked to take part in a fitness test and then two trials which will involve walking on a treadmill at a steady pace. Before and after the exercise a small piece of muscle will be taken from their thigh under local anaesthesia, as well as several small blood samples. Muscle muscle samples will be assessed for lipid metabolites.
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a serious chronic condition and one of the world's fastest growing health problems. The onset of T2DM is gradual, with most individuals progressing through a state of pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a prevalent and potentially reversible condition, which provides an important window of opportunity for the prevention of T2DM and its complications. This project aims to translate the evidence-based diabetes prevention strategies into a community setting to reduce diabetes risks in Hong Kong Chinese people with pre-diabetes .
Prediabetes is a common condition in overweight individuals affecting approximately 35% of American adults and 30% of Australian adults. Like diabetes, prediabetes is a serious risk factor for cardiovascular disease, eye, kidney and liver disease, and some types of cancer. Appropriate blood glucose control is crucial in preventing pre-diabetes complications and onset of diabetes, yet clinical practice, backed by randomised trials, reports that many patients treated with standard dietary guidelines or with the first-line treatment of diabetes patients, metformin, do not improve blood glucose control sufficiently. The overarching goal of the present project is to improve the efficacy of metformin mono-therapy in pre-diabetes and early type 2 diabetes.
The proposed study will inform efforts to prevent diabetes and promote weight loss in a high-risk population and generate a reproducible, scalable, and sustainable model for use with other insurer groups and clinical settings that work in immigrant populations with a high burden of chronic disease.
A PRoBE design study will be used to obtain saliva from patients before undergoing blood study evaluation for screening at risk patients for the presence of undiagnosed pre-diabetes of type II diabetes. Pre-specified saliva biomarkers will be evaluated along with multi-marker models for their discriminatory value for distinguishing patients with normal glucose metabolism from those with disease. Appropriate housekeeping genes will also be incorporated to allow for the measurement of relative gene expression.
Pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and their related conditions, adiposity and insulin resistance, are more prevalent in minorities Northern Manhattan compared to the general population of the United States. Despite knowledge of the main biologic determinants of these conditions (high caloric intake and sedentarism) the prevalence of these conditions continue to increase. In addition, these conditions can cause mental health problems including increased depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment. Thus, the investigators decided to conduct a community based study of middle aged Hispanic men and women aged 50 to 64 years at baseline in order to: 1. Document the prevalence and incidence, of pre-diabetes, diabetes, overweight, obesity, and associated conditions (e.g. dyslipidemia, hypertension). 2. Study how social determinants of health (SDOH) affect these conditions. 3. Study the consequences of these conditions on aging and mental health outcomes, including cognitive impairment.
