NCT06269159
Most of the existing lifestyle interventions in adults with overweight or obesity focus on one movement behavior in isolation (i.e. moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA)). However, recent research suggests to incorporate all movement behaviors performed in one day to explore the possible synergistic health effects of targeting more than one behavior. Moreover, more optimal 24-hour movement behavior compositions are related with better cardiometabolic health. Literature shows that adults with obesity have less optimal 24-hour compositions (8-9). Therefore it would be of interest to discover the needs related to an optimal 24-hour movement behavior intervention for a group of adults with overweight and obesity using co-design to develop an intervention. This study will conduct a concept mapping protocol to explore the needs to of people with overweight and obesity to change their sedentary behavior into more physical activity as well to include the opinion of health care providers (HCP are physiotherapists) on the needs of their patients.
NCT05077579
High body fat at midlife, as evidenced by overweight or obese body mass index (BMI), is increasingly understood as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. However, the underlying processes and mechanisms that may underlie this risk remains unknown. With this project, the Investigator proposes to create a new cohort of cognitively normal 120 midlife individuals, age 40-60 years. The investigator and research staff will characterize the participant's overweight or obese status using metabolic tests including, an oral glucose tolerance test, fasting plasma insulin, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c measurements. This testing will generate categories of metabolically abnormal overweight and obese (MAOO), metabolically normal overweight and obese (MNOO), and metabolically normal lean participants (MNLP). Research staff will evaluate differences between these groups on neuroimaging with the newer classification framework of Alzheimer's biomarkers with amyloid (A), tau (T), and neurodegeneration (N), or ATN. Neurodegeneration will be assessed by atrophy on brain MRI as reflected by regional volumes on Freesurfer. Staff will also evaluate MR neuroimaging markers for neuroinflammation using a newer method called diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI), developed at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis in collaboration with The Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (Knight ADRC).
