The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility of integrating Vinyasa yoga into a Standard Behavioral Weight Loss Intervention, to examine whether engagement differs between Vinyasa yoga and a restorative form of Hatha yoga within a Standard Behavioral Weight Loss Intervention, and to use this information to inform an expanded study to directly test the effectiveness of these interventions on weight loss in adults.
Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions and threatens both health and quality of life of people around the world. While many individuals succeed at short term weight loss, weight loss maintenance is the greatest barrier to successful treatment of obesity. High levels of physical activity are consistently associated with success in weight loss maintenance. The major goal of this proposal is to understand how and why high levels of physical activity are critical for long term maintenance of weight loss. This project takes advantage of the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), which follows over 6000 individuals who have maintained a weight loss of ≥30 pounds for ≥1 year. Understanding how individuals successful at weight loss maintenance achieve energy balance will provide important insight into strategies to help more people sustain a weight loss.
This study will evaluate the effects of a one week weight management summer camp on children's weight, quality of life, mood and feelings, self-esteem, weight management efficacy, enjoyment of physical activity, and body image.
Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of premature death worldwide. However smoking is a very difficult addiction to break whereby main reasons for not quitting or relapsing after cessation are the nicotine withdrawal syndrome and post-cessational weight gain. GLP-1 analogues are well known to stimulate insulin secretion and to reduce energy intake and therefore body weight. Recent findings from animal and human studies suggest a role of GLP-1 in the pathophysiology of addiction. The putative role of GLP-1 analogues in nicotine reward regulation combined with its weight reducing effects might be of major interest in view of novel pharmacotherapeutic options for smoking cessation. - Substudy "fMRI": This substudy is to evaluate effects of Dulaglutide treatment on functional neuronal changes in smokers who want to quit smoking. - Substudy "Energy": This substudy is to investigate the effect of Dulaglutide (Trulicity®) on REE and further parameters associated with energy metabolism (bodycomposition, haemodynamic parameters and catecholamine action) in a subset of patients recruited for the main trial.
Children with abnormal weight development of BMI will be given either placebo or a probiotic protein formula and measures of weigh gain during a 3-mont treatment will be conducted
The study aims to randomize 400 participants to 1 of 3 arms: a) a weight stability intervention prior to smoking cessation (Group 1); b) a weight loss intervention prior to smoking cessation (Group 2); or c) a self-guided weight management prior to cessation (Group 3) and to determine the efficacy of the interventions on preventing weight gain at 12 month follow-up. All 3 conditions receive a highly efficacious behavioral smoking cessation program and 6 months of varenicline pharmacotherapy (ChantixTM), the most efficacious medication for smoking cessation.
This is the re-analyzing study of observational study by Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative
This study will take advantage of the open source framework of ResearchKit developed by Apple to bring research directly to participants. Using the ResearchKit platform as well as a stand alone app available for Android and HTML, it makes it easier to enroll large numbers of participants and carry out real-world health research to answer questions important to a broad population.
This study will evaluate the effects of diet composition (i.e., amount of protein and carbohydrate) during a 6-month weight loss intervention and 12-months of follow-up on physical function, muscle mass, and weight loss maintenance in obese older adults. Participants will receive either a protein or carbohydrate supplement along with a behavioral weight loss intervention.
