Filter by:The goal of this study was to find prevalence and correlations of different weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy. This cross- sectional study hypothesize the prevalence of weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in addition to positive correlations between weight abnormalities and number of exercise hours and frequency of meals in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy RESEARCH QUESTION: 1. What is the prevalence of weight abnormalities and and risk of abdominal obesity in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy? 2. Does the weight abnormalities correlates with number of exercise hours or frequency of meals in children with cerebral palsy?
This study aims to examine balance parameters and weight distributions at different kneeling positions.
The goal of the current project is to assess performance of the Bounceless Control sports bra versus: (1) the Shefit Ultimate Sports bra, and (2) conventional bra as worn by participants in a variety of athletic activities.
Obesity can be defined as' a disease that occurs as a result of the energy (calorie) taken with food being more than the energy consumed and the excess energy being stored as fat in the body, negatively affecting the quality and duration of life. BMI is calculated by dividing the weight (kg) by the square of the height (m2) (1,2). According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, BMI between 25-29.9 kg / m2 is overweight, 30-34.9 kg / m2 is light, 35-39.9 kg / m2 is medium, 40 kg / m2 and above is considered as severe obesity. Obesity has important effects on respiratory function. These mechanical and biochemical effects are not easily measured by pulmonary function test and BMI measurement.Changes caused by mediators produced by adipose tissue likely cause changes in lung function, but this effect is not fully understood at the moment. The aim of our study is to make these effects more understandable and to compare them with different obesity classes and people with normal weight who are considered healthy. Hypothesis 0: The effects of obesity on respiratory functions and multidimensional health-related parameters do not show a statistically significant difference compared to individuals with different levels of the disease and normal weight individuals classified as healthy. Hypothesis 1: The effects of obesity on respiratory functions and multidimensional health-related parameters show a statistically significant difference compared to people with different levels of the disease and normal weight individuals classified as healthy. The study will be carried out by face-to-face evaluations in a clinical setting with obese patients between the ages of 18-65 who have applied to the clinic with a diagnosis of obesity and agree to participate in the study, and healthy volunteers who are considered to be healthy without a diagnosis of obesity. Looking at the evaluations to be made; Measurement of respiratory function parameters, measurement of respiratory muscle strength, anthropometric measurements, evaluation of body composition, quality of life, upper extremity muscle strength and grip strength, lower extremity muscle strength, fatigue evaluation, vital signs, evaluation of exercise perception, presence of dyspnea and its level will be evaluated. A detailed description of these evaluations and the parameters to be used will be explained in detail in the next step.
This study will perform a clinical trial with adolescent girls to pilot a new cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for weight-related bullying testing (1) feasibility, (2) acceptability, and (3) initial efficacy. The treatment will be conducted via audio/video telehealth.
The study team want to see if changes in lifestyle and behaviors and self-monitoring of diet and physical activity in older adults who have type 2 Diabetes (T2D) may help to prevent or reduce frailty. Frailty occurs in older adults and leads people to have falls, become disabled, require nursing home placement, and have increased risk of death. T2D is one of the major risk factors for frailty. T2D is a significant problem in older adults and is known to increase the risk of future frailty.
At present, there is conflicting evidence regarding outcomes in patients with septic shock receiving weight-based vasopressor (WBVP) versus non-weight-based vasopressor (NWBVP) dosing strategies. At MCMC, a weight-based strategy is in place whereas MDMC, MMMC and MRMC currently utilize a non-weight-based dosing strategy. Obese patients (BMI > 30) receiving either strategy may potentially be receiving substantially more or less vasopressor exposure compared to their non-obese (BMI < 30) counterparts. Determining total vasopressor exposure and assessing clinical outcomes would benefit our institution and others by providing optimal vasopressor dosing strategies in obese and non-obese patients. There is a difference in clinical outcomes between patients receiving weight-based and non-weight-based vasopressor dosing strategies. There is a difference in total vasopressor exposure between obese and non-obese patients utilizing WBVP and NWBVP strategies.
This study determined effects of a cognitive distraction on amount, preference, and memory of food consumed and perceptions of fullness, hunger, and enjoyment of food in a healthy young-adult population. A randomized controlled crossover study of 119 healthy adults, assigned to begin in either the distracted or control condition, was conducted.
The proposed randomized controlled trial will evaluate an educational self-management intervention in 450 African American women and weight management. It will be the first to use a culturally tailored in-person and telephone approach to address all aspects of wellness and social determinants for African American women to achieve optimal long term wellness for both self and family.
The aim of the present study is to test the effects of a digital meditation intervention and/or a healthy eating intervention in a sample of UCSF employees with overweight and obesity (BMI>=25kg/m2) who report mild to moderate stress. We will randomize UCSF employees to 8-weeks of a digital meditation intervention (using the commercially available application, Headspace), a healthy eating intervention, a digital meditation+healthy eating intervention, or a waitlist control condition.
