My Baby, My Move+ (2019-2021) is a peer-led wellness intervention which aims to reduce excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) by targeting prenatal physical activity, mood, and sleep quality. Up to 50% of pregnant women in the U.S. gain weight in excess of the Institute of Medicine guidelines. EGWG leads to poor maternal and child outcomes. It also sets the stage for long-term overweight/obesity for both mother and child. The MBMM+ intervention is an example of a theoretically-based prenatal physical activity intervention that targets these outcomes. Up to 100 pregnant women (50 intervention arm, 50 control arm) will be recruited from the University of Colorado Clinics. Women in the intervention arm will participate in the 12-week MBMM+ intervention. Leiferman and her team propose to develop and test the feasibility and sustainability of the MBMM+ intervention to instill good healthy habits (e.g., prenatal physical activity, good sleep hygiene, stress management) during and beyond pregnancy. Findings from this study will be used to inform a future, large randomized trial.
This study will compare if using a continuous milk warmer to warm breast milk compared to the standard method of warming breast milk in a hot water bath improves weight gain and feeding tolerance in infants born at 32 weeks gestation or less over a ten-day period. The standard method does not keep the breast milk at a consistent temperature during the feeding. A continuous milk warmer maintains the breast milk at body temperature throughout the feeding. It is unknown which method improves weight gain and feeding tolerance in very low birth weight infants.
Methods are needed to help decrease interdialytic weight gains in hemodialysis patients. One potential method for accomplishing this goal is to develop an app for smartphones that allow patients to track their fluid intake throughout the course of the day. NCT 03759847 was designed to test the safety and efficacy of this app. In this protocol, part of the same IRB number, patients with large interdialytic fluid gains (3.5% or greater) will use the app to to determine the association between the interdialytic weight gain and the fluid consumed as recorded by use of the app for each interdialytic period.
The purpose of this study is to learn if engaging in group based phone counseling (GBPC) and an interactive physical activity monitoring system can help pregnant women gain an appropriate amount of weight during pregnancy.
Using retrospective data from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center electronic health record, the investigators will study the association between mother's weight / weight change before and during pregnancy and the development of childhood obesity up until 5 years of age.
The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to investigate the effects of chewing gum on interdialytic weight gain, thirst, dry mouth and intradialytic symptoms in hemodialysis patients.
The aim of this project is to improve the evidence-base regarding lifestyle and mental health symptoms among fitness instructors. A national cohort of fitness instructors will be invited to participate in this study by responding to an online questionnaire. The questionnaire will consist of items regarding exercise, nutrition, eating disorders, the menstrual cycle, depression, anxiety, body dissatisfaction and satisfaction, drive for muscularity and leanness, and experiences of sexual harassment. Findings from this study will provide an evidence-base for initiatives to improve/optimize mental health among fitness instructors, and also in the process of developing fitness centres to a core partner in public health and health promotion work.
In this study, the investigators aimed to have pregnant women use a hand-held device to track increases in daily caloric needs during pregnancy. Weight gain was assessed over time with the goal of reducing excessive gestational weight gain relative to a group of pregnant women who received standard prenatal care.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Motivational Interviewing and e-health education on body composition and psychological outcomes. After baseline testing, participants will be randomly assigned to a motivational interviewing or e-health education group for a 10-week intervention. Variables of interest include: body composition, physical activity, food consumption and self-determination theory constructs.
