NCT ID: NCT01363791 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Meta-analyses of Fructose and Cardiometabolic Risk

Start date: May 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Diabetes and heart associations continue to discourage high intakes of dietary fructose, a constituent part of the sucrose molecule that is found in fruits and vegetables as a natural sugar and in some processed foods and beverages as an added sweetener. The concern relates to its ability to increase certain blood fats and cholesterol, which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The evidence for an adverse effect of fructose on these risk factors, however, is inconclusive. To improve the evidence on which nutrition recommendations for fructose are based, the investigators therefore propose to study the effect of fructose on blood fats, cholesterol, sugars, blood pressure, and body weight, by undertaking a systematic synthesis of the data taken from all available clinical studies in humans. This technique has the strength of allowing all of the available data to be pooled together and differences to be explored in groups of different study participants (healthy humans of different sex, weight, and age and in those with diseases which predispose to disturbances in metabolism, such as diabetes) with dietary fructose in different forms, doses, and with differing durations of exposure. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

NCT ID: NCT00786890 Active, not recruiting - Prediabetes Clinical Trials

A Survey to Evaluate the Cardiovascular Risk Status of Subjects With Pre-Diabetes in Hong Kong

JADE-HK2
Start date: November 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Hypothesis: A high cardiovascular risk is present in subjects with pre-diabetes in Hong Kong Chinese. The investigators plan to assess Chinese subjects in Hong Kong who have pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose, IFG; or impaired glucose tolerance, IGT) based on oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) on their cardiovascular risk status such as obesity, hypertension and lipid profile.
