Filter by:The purpose of the PaTH Clinical Data Research Network (CDRN) Study of Healthy Lifestyles, Body Weight and Health Care is to use clinical data from electronic health records (EHR) and patient reported outcomes (PRO) to answer questions of clinical importance to patients, providers, and other stakeholders.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether chronic moderate sleep restriction effects the amount of body fat and lean mass loss, and calorie expenditure, in individuals who are participating in a dietary weight loss program.

This is a prospective mixed methods study to assess weight changes in women randomized to receive Implanon ® or Depo Provera® (DMPA) immediately postpartum compared to women who choose non-hormonal contraception or no contraception immediately postpartum. After enrollment, subjects return for a visit at 3, 6 and 12 months postpartum to be asked a series of questions, take a pregnancy test, and be weighed. Total length of participation for each subject is 1 year or until pregnancy.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that an intervention of lifestyle modification will positively impact women with breast cancer who are overweight and/or obese. To that end, our primary endpoint is to examine the effects of a practical lifestyle intervention that can be implemented by overweight or obese women (BMI greater or equal to 25) with early stage breast cancer (I-III) on outcomes such as body weight and change in BMI over the course of the study.
Intervention studying the effect of a low-carbohydrate/high-fat (LCHF) diet as well as on bout of exercise in combination with either a normal diet or a LCHF diet, in relation to glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, lipid profile and body composition.
Obesity affects over one-third of the US population, and is associated with serious medical problems like diabetes and heart disease. Weight loss surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity, but some weight loss surgery patients lose less weight than others, and some patients regain the weight they lost. Researchers have found that support groups help post-surgical patients lose more weight, but long-term support programs often aren't available or are difficult for patients to get to. Physical activity is also important for weight loss surgery patients, but most post-surgical support programs don't focus on helping patients exercise. Our pilot study will test an Internet-based weight loss surgery support program that patients can use from home, and will include new devices such as wireless weight scales and wireless pedometers to help patients track their weight loss and physical activity and share their progress with their clinicians over the Internet. If successful, our support intervention will help more patients successfully lose weight after surgery, and therefore will improve their long-term health.

That a treatment using a cognitive-behavioral treatment for exercise and nutrition support will be associated with greater weight loss that a treatment of nutrition and exercise education.
In 'real-world' health care settings there exist a number of circumstances where the weight of a child is desirable or even necessary but unavailable. Numerous weight estimation strategies have been described but each has limitations. Investigators at Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics recently developed a weight estimation method and tool that addresses the limitations of previously published methods. This study is intended to validate the device in a population of children 2 months to 16 years of age.
