Filter by:The purpose of the Exerci-Zzz Study is to learn more about how the time of day that exercise is performed influences sleep quality and fat metabolism overnight in adults with metabolic syndrome. In this study, exercise will be performed in the early evening and the investigators will measure participants' sleep quality and fat metabolism overnight in a metabolic room. The total study will take approximately 2-3 months to complete. Enrolled participants will complete 2 study conditions (evening exercise and control) in a metabolic room. Each of these visits will last 30 hours and require that the participant stay in the metabolic room. During the evening exercise participants will be asked to perform exercise in the early evening. Finally, during the control condition participants will be asked spend the day in the metabolic room (no exercise performed during this condition). During each of these conditions, the investigators will measure participant sleep quality and fat metabolism overnight. In the morning, the investigators will perform a metabolic test to assess the responses of certain hormones. Findings from this study will identify how exercise influences novel contributors to metabolic syndrome (sleep quality and nocturnal metabolism) and shed light on some potential mechanisms to explain the variability in exercise responses.
Prediabetes is a major risk factor for diabetes. The Lifestyle Modification Mobile Health Application (APP) could not only help to decrease blood sugar among individuals with prediabetes but it could also prevent a later occurrence of diabetes. While many people use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to improve the participants body constitution in Chinese culture, it rarely if ever obtained through a mobile device. There are very few apps that provide effective TCM regimen-based lifestyle advice for prediabetes. Therefore, the investigators want to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of receiving TCM regimen-based lifestyle advice from a mobile device designed to improve the applicant's health status.
The Nordic Diet is a dietary pattern rich in traditional Nordic foods, including berries, grains, and fatty fish common in northern Europe. Studies have shown a protective effect of the Nordic Diet on cardiometabolic risk factors, however only select clinical practice guidelines for the management of diabetes (i.e. Diabetes Canada) recommend this dietary pattern. To support the update of the EASD clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies and clinical trials to investigate the association between the Nordic Diet, cardiometabolic outcomes and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design.
This prospective study aims to assess the feasibility and implementation of a plant-based, weight-loss program in an office setting. The study will also assess changes in body weight, blood pressure, plasma lipids, glycated hemoglobin, and body composition with a 12-week, plant-based, weight-loss program. These health benefits may illustrate feasibility to physicians and healthcare professionals elsewhere.
The purpose of the study is to determine if a 6-week exercise training program promotes exercise-induced metabolic flexibility, that is, the ability to switch fuel sources for energy, in older prediabetic adults.
This study intends to assess the role of inflammation in insulin resistant conditions (i.e., obesity and pre-diabetes) and the subsequent development of disease, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), in the adolescent population.
The prevalence of overweight, obesity and T2D among American Indians (AIs) in the Albuquerque service area of Indian Health Services (IHS) serving all pueblos in New Mexico including Pueblo of Acoma is disproportionately elevated. Specifically, among AI, adults age 18 and over in the IHS Albuquerque Service Area, 51% have a BMI > 30, which significantly exceeds the rate of obesity observed nationally (35.3%) and the Healthy People 2020 target of 30.5%. Likewise, the rate of T2D (22.8%) among the adult AI population in our Albuquerque service area is almost double the rate of the U.S. adult population (12.2%), and the age-adjusted diabetes mortality rate for AIs was 104.7 per 100,000 compared to 23.1 per 100,000 among non-Hispanic Whites in the region. At the same time, the median age of diagnosis of T2D among AI adults was much younger (42.2 years) than the national average (53.8 years). Our major goal of implementing educational interventions to slow the current rate of increase in diabetes in Native communities is aligned with NIH's (NIGMS) and NM INBRE's vision in reducing health disparity using innovative interventions. The investigators propose following aims: Aim 1: Recruit and Screen 300 community members in Acoma Pueblo, NM to identify incident cases of pre-diabetes for the proposed study of Home Based Diabetes Care (HBDC); Aim 2: Enroll 150 Acoma Natives aged 21-70 years, at risk for T2D (i.e., overweight, obese, and/or with at least one affected first degree relative or a history of gestational DM) and conduct HBDC for a 16-week lifestyle intervention in a longitudinal cohort study. Randomize household in a 1:1 allocation to enter either the intervention arm immediately or after a 12-month waiting list in control arm. Control participants will be treated with usual care. Participants randomized to the waiting list will enter the intervention group 12 months after entering the study. Both intervention groups will be followed longitudinally for total of 12 months. Compared with people who will receive "usual care (control group)", prediabetic participants receiving 4 months of the HBDC will exhibit improved risk factor profiles for diabetes, obesity and heart disease, improved Patient Activation Measures, improved adherence with medical treatment, and improved Quality of Life scores.
Prediabetes is a substantial problem in India not only because it itself can be associated with morbidities such as coronary artery disease but also because it is a point of important for prevention of diabetes. It is not clear if apparent accelerated aging in Indian population associated with heightened tendency for prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis and dys-metabolic state etc. could, besides lifestyle factors, be related to vitamin D deficiency, or ageing-related genes, or interaction between the two. This study is based on the assumption that the supplementation of vitamin d could lead to reversal to normal glucose regulation and may slow aging process in individuals with pre-diabetes.
Mexico has one of the highest prevalence of obesity, reported on 32.4 percent of people over 20 years old, with a prevalence of obesity class III of 1.8 percent on males and 4.1 percent on females. According to previous data in our Obesity Clinic the mean age of these patients is 41 years, 46 percent have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); 66 percent has hypertension and 33 percent has dyslipidemia. The management of alterations in the glucose metabolism in this unit is made by dietary treatment and with the use of metformin at doses of 1,700 mg/day and/or basal insulin. Dapagliflozin is a selective SGLT2 inhibitor than has shown a sustained effect on the reduction of glycated hemoglobin at 0.4 to 0.8 percent (initial 7.8 to 8.0 percent). Additionally, due to the induction of glycosuria up to 20 to 85 g/day, it has been calculated that its use induces a caloric deficit at 80 to 340 kcal/day. This has been tested in patients with T2D in which induces a weight loss of 2 to 3 kg and in combination with metformin even a weight loss up to 5.07 kg (-6.21 to 3.93 kg) without regain (at least for 2 years). Furthermore, dapagliflozin decrease systolic blood pressure, increases HDL cholesterol concentrations and decreases triglyceride concentration. The drug product action is independent of the insulin production at pancreas, consequently, it exists a possibility of using the drug product on patients with prediabetes or even on other types of diabetes. Regarding the adverse effects related to its use, it has been described an increase in the risk of genitourinary infections with a low risk for inducing hypoglycemia. A previous study that included 182 patients with T2D inadequately controlled with metformin assessed the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg in total weight loss after 24 weeks compared to placebo. It was found a decrease in weight of 2.08 kg (2.8 to 1.31 kg), decrease in waist circumference of 1.52 cm (2.74 to 0.31), decrease in total fat mass assessed with densitometry of 1.48 kg (2.22 to 0.74), decrease of visceral fat mass of 258.4 cm^3 (448.1 to 68.6) and subcutaneous fat of 184.9 cm^3 (359.7 to 10.1). Most of these studies on weight and metabolic control have been performed in patients with obesity class II or I. The aim of this study is to assess if dapagliflozin in combination with metformin is at least 10 percent more effective for weight reduction in comparison with metformin in patients with prediabetes or T2D and obesity grade III.
This project will disseminate a community-level intervention that integrates peer support from Community Self-Management Groups (CSMGs) and primary care through Community Health Centers (CHC). The model and program materials were developed and refined from the first year of implementation within community health centers in Shanghai. This project will be implemented in 12 communities in 6 districts across Shanghai, representing a diverse cross section of the population. A total of 1440 subjects will be recruited from the 12 intervention communities and 720 control subjects will be recruited from 4 control communities.
