NCT05529199
Obesity is one of the greatest pandemics of the 21st century with 30 million new cases each year. In France each year, 60,000 bariatric surgery procedures are performed. Many preoperative diets have been proposed in the literature with some studies giving positive results. But these diets are often strict and can have adverse effects on metabolism. Very few studies have described the PSMF diet. The hypothesis would be that this diet is associated with a reduction in liver volume with a reduction in steatosis.
NCT05076487
The objective of this exploratory/developmental study is to investigate the episodic nature of food insecurity as a stressor via responses in body weight and psychological and physiological parameters longitudinally. Sixty African American women with obesity will be enrolled. Pennington Biomedical Research Center will coordinate this longitudinal study and measure 1) daily body weight remotely over 22 weeks and 2) psychological and physiological parameters via clinic assessments at the beginning and end of 22 weeks as well as assess episodes of food insecurity and stress on a weekly basis.
NCT01129505
Our longitudinal aim is to reduce childhood obesity using our two-pronged intervention program, which includes healthy food choices and increased physical activity initiated during pregnancy and re-instated in the early period after delivery for overweight and obese women. We will accomplish this with our family-based Nutrition and Exercise Lifestyle Intervention Program (NELIP) to promote healthy family living. An intervention targeting school-aged children on the importance of healthy lifestyles occurs too late to prevent childhood obesity and establish lifelong healthy body weights. To break this spiraling cycle of generations of unhealthy body weights in Canadian children, and to reduce the risk of future obesity-related health problems, it is necessary to prevent excessive pregnancy weight gain, high blood sugars in the mother and to promote a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy and early post delivery. With our NELIP team as a cornerstone, and our pilot data already collected with promising results, we foresee an opportunity over the next 3 years to contribute to changing patient care with emphasis on disease prevention and healthy family lifestyle initiation early in life to reverse the trend of childhood obesity. With a solid research-based initiative from the lab to the community by educating health care providers, future health care can be improved by putting prevention-based programs into practice. Healthy women = healthy babies = healthy families = healthy futures!!
