NCT07306793
This is a randomized controlled experimental study evaluating the effects of oral motor intervention and chronobiological approach to feeding model applied to preterm infants on feeding readiness, transition to total oral feeding and body weight.
NCT06389656
Weight stigma and weight bias internalization (WBI) are common among adolescents at higher weight statuses. WBI is associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes. The current study aims to test intervention for weight stigma and WBI in conjunction with an evidence-based adolescent weight management program. Adolescents (ages 13-17) will participate in a 20-week program tailored to improve WBI and weight-related health behaviors in tandem. Primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the developed intervention, assessed following the 20-week intervention.
NCT06646120
The goal of this observational study is to train and validate an AI-driven 3D camera system to estimate total body weight, ideal body weight and lean body weight in male and female adult volunteers of all ages. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * What degree of accuracy of weight estimation can we achieve with an AI-driven 3D camera weight estimation system? * Is this accuracy the same in adults of both sexes, all ages, and all body types (underweight, normal weight, overweight)? Participants will undergo some anthropometric measurements (height, mid-arm circumference, weight circumference, hip circumference, measured weight), a DXA scan (to measure lean body weight), and 3D imaging using a 3D camera. There will be no interventions.
NCT04293224
This study, at the Western Human Nutrition Research Center (WHNRC), will focus on whether or not achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight is the most important health promoting recommendation of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA).The investigators hypothesize that improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors resulting from eating a DGA style diet will be greater in people whose energy intake is restricted to result in weight loss compared to those who maintain their weight. The investigators further propose that during a state of energy restriction, a higher nutrient quality diet such as the DGA style diet pattern, will result in greater improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors compared to a typical American diet (TAD) pattern that tends to be lower nutrient quality (more energy-dense and less nutrient-rich.)
NCT04567108
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) contribute an alarming \~7% of calories in the US diet among adults, making SSBs the single largest source of added sugar. However, whether artificially sweetened beverages are a healthful alternative for reducing SSB intake among habitual SSB consumers is unknown. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a 4-arm randomized diet intervention trial to test the effects of substituting SSBs with calorie-free alternatives on body weight and health, among habitual SSB consumers with overweight/obesity.
NCT05981508
The purpose of this research study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of an interactive counselor -led online family skills training as part of a behavioral weight loss program for Black Adults.
NCT06350253
The purpose of this study is to compare RMR values from the BIA, predicted equations, and indirect calorimetry.
NCT07079046
This study evaluates the efficacy of Satisens®, a dietary supplement composed of plant extracts, in reducing emotional eating and sweet cravings in healthy adults. The study will analyze hormonal, neurotransmitter, and inflammatory markers to understand the underlying mechanisms.
NCT06564753
This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm study of NA-931 in adults who are obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) or who are overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) with at least one weight-related co-morbid condition.
NCT04399460
The proposed study looks at the effect of long-term diet modification with or without full-fat dairy products or restrictive eating on body weight, body composition and cardiometabolic markers in healthy overweight/obese men and women.
NCT03575897
Despite evidence that both rapid weight gain and excessive body fat accrual are associated with overweight and obesity, usual neonatal care of preterm infants does not include assessment of body fat accrual. The study hypothesis is that identification of early changes in infant body composition (i.e. amount of fat mass and fat-free mass) reduces % body fat at 3 months of age.
NCT05601804
This pilot and feasibility study will collect information from food insecure, as well as food secure, women with obesity to detail their desires and needs for healthy weight reduction. Up to 60 women with obesity will be enrolled. Pennington Biomedical Research Center will coordinate this qualitative study and use focus groups discussion to collect formative data.
NCT05906771
Plant polyphenols have demonstrated the ability to ameliorate metabolic alterations induced by overweight and obesity, both in cellular and animal models, where most therapeutic approaches have failed. These have demonstrated the ability to improve appetite sensation, leading to improved body weight control, in addition to reducing fat accumulation and improving plasma glycemic and lipid profiles, as well as inflammatory process and vascular dysfunction. The plant polyphenols on which the extract to be studied will be based will be hibiscus and lemon verbena. A randomized controlled trial will be carried out in overweight or obese subjects from the province of Alicante. An electronic randomization will be carried out based on a two-branch design, therefore, there will be a control group (no intervention) and an experimental group (nutraceutical intake). Participants will have to ingest the nutraceutical for 3 months, as well as attend the agreed visits. Different satiety questionnaires, circulating parameters measured in capillaries (cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose), blood pressure and body composition measured by bone densitometry (DXA) will be collected. All variables will be measured at 4 different time points (baseline, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days). All these will be analyzed as a function of time; at the beginning and end of each intervention (intra-group analysis), as well as comparing the control group with the experimental group (inter-group analysis). A multidisciplinary team formed by physicians, nurses and nutritionists will be involved.
NCT05394779
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of DTXO App in improving weight loss and weight-loss maintenance in obese patients exposed to an experimental non-pharmacological treatment program. The App will include a dietary plan and customized advice program, a customized physical exercise program plan, a cognitive- behavioral assessment and support program, alerts and reminders on prescribed drugs intake and on dietary and exercise program, chat and online visits with clinical professionals, and trophies to improve patient engagement.
NCT03843424
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that providers screen children aged 6 years and older for obesity and offer or refer them to a comprehensive behavioral intervention (≥26 hours over a period of up to 12 months) to promote improvement in weight status. Family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) is an effective treatment that targets both child and parents and meets the USPSTF recommendations. By contrast, the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends a staged approach to childhood obesity screening and counseling, which begins with prevention counseling by the primary care provider (PCP) and includes assessment of weight status, patient/family motivation and readiness to change, promotion of healthy eating and activity habits, and use of health behavior change strategies. Our study compares a staged approach enhanced standard of care (eSOC) vs. eSOC + FBT, to provide families and PCPs with information on the best intervention approach for the behavioral treatment of childhood obesity. Our project seeks to fill the gap in the evidence on family-based weight management in primary care settings among diverse and underserved populations with a special focus on Black children, families insured by Medicaid, and sex differences.
NCT05170919
To determine whether olanzapine or mirtazapine is more effective in preventing weight loss and appetite loss in cancer patients.
NCT06543017
The objective of this observational study is to assess the long-term impact of a combined slow and rapid weight reduction strategy on the physiological performance, mental state, and sleep quality of male freestyle wrestlers. The primary question it seeks to address is: Does the combined weight reduction approach affect the physiological performance, mental state, and sleep quality of male freestyle wrestlers during the pre-competition period? Participants will undergo tests at three stages of their weight reduction process (T1, T2, T3) over a period of 38 days prior to the competition, providing data on various physiological and psychological indicators.
