Active clinical trials for "Body Weight"

Although individuals following commercial intermittent fasting programmes consume meal replacement products during fasting days, further behavioural variables such as time of food consumption, sleep quality and duration, appetite and mood may significantly impact weight loss and intervention success. This project aims to assess behavioural patterns (dietary intake, sleep, meal timing, physical activity), mood and appetite on both fasting and non-fasting days and to investigate whether these are associated with weight loss.

The present study aims to compare the results obtained from the assessment of skinfolds using four anthropometric calipers (Harpenden, Holtain, Slime Guide and Lipowise). The objectives are to check if there are differences depending on the caliper used to assess skinfolds, and to study the variation in skinfold compressibility as a function of the time elapsed from the application of the caliper to the measurement reading, as well as the validation of the Lipowise caliper. A cross-sectional study will be carried out with a sample of 100 university students aged between 18 and 25 years. Physical activity will be assessed by means of an International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and hydration status by urine samples. Anthropometric assessments, including weight, height, and eight skinfolds, will be performed according to the International Society for the Advancement in Kinanthropometry protocol, using the four previously mentioned calipers. Finally, a data analysis will be carried out to compare the results of the samples taken by the calipersand to draw conclusions.

This longitudinal observational cohort followed the growth and development of non-Hispanic white girls from age 5 to 15 years, with a focus on the development of the controls of food intake.

A study to compare growth, development of the intestinal bacterial environment, and other short term outcomes in groups of babies fed primarily their own mother's milk compared to those who receive primarily donor human milk. The investigators hypothesize that infants who receive primarily their own mother's milk will have better growth, a more diverse intestinal bacterial environment, and possibly some improved short term outcomes such as better feeding tolerance and lower rates of infection.

An observational study comparing outcomes of Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) infants that were monitored with non-invasive Transcutaneous CO2 (TCCO2) monitor to infants that were not monitored by TCCO2 monitor.

This is the re-analyzing study of observational study by Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative

Endometrial and cervical cancers are one of the most common malignancies seen in females. Identification of recurrent disease in early phases of treatment carries a primary importance on the outcome of patients. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a new technique recently started to be performed in body imaging and has potential ability to detect recurrent disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic impact of DWI in detection of recurrent disease in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.

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.

It is known that volumetric response of leiomyomas following uterine artery embolization correlates well with patients clinical outcome. The aim of this study is to assess diffusion -and perfusion weighted MRI for the prediction of volumetric response following uterine artery embolization in patients with symptomatic leiomyomas.

The aim of the study was to describe postoperative weight change in adults undergoing surgery for craniopharyngioma and identify preoperative factors associated with it.
