Active clinical trials for "Body Weight"

The overarching goal of the proposed study is to develop and test an enrichment to Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) using an existing, evidence-based program to improve clients' and their children's cardiovascular health from early pregnancy to 24 months postpartum. With support from NFP supervisors and nurses, the investigators will develop new NFP materials promoting healthy diet, activity, sleep, and smoking behaviors, along with optimal weight, glycemia, lipid, and blood pressure profiles. The investigators will conduct a pilot study with 40 prenatal or postpartum NFP clients and their nurses to determine feasibility and acceptability of the materials and study protocol.

More and more normal weight people are dieting in the general population. The NUTRILEX study aims to better understand the physiological adaptations in response to weight loss in healthy normal weight individuals. After an inclusion visit to verify the eligibility criteria of the subjects, they will complete a "T0" control session. The subjects will then have to complete two phases. The first transversal phase consists of 4 randomized sessions with lunch ad libitum after a physical exercise: i) a control session (no exercise, CON); ii) an exercise session at initial body weight (BWT0); iii) an exercise session with a simulated weight loss of 3% performed on an anti-gravity treadmill (BW-3%) and; iv) an exercise session with a simulated weight loss of 6% performed on an anti-gravity treadmill (BW-6%). During the second longitudinal phase, the participants will perform a dietary rebalancing and a slight caloric restriction (dietary intervention) in order to induce a weight loss of 6% of their initial body weight. Subjects will then perform an exercise session after losing 3% (T1) and then 6% (T2) of their initial body weight.

The baseline infusion rate during surgery for pediatric patients still is the 'Holliday and Segar' rule (also known as the 4/2/1 rule) The question arises if this rule is not outdated, since it was calculated based on the caloric need of the pediatric population, calculated for cow milk. The study tends to validate the use of bio impedance measurements for registering fluid shifts in the pediatric surgical patients.

The current study aims to test a third-wave based IWB intervention paired with a standard BWLP delivered through video conferencing software.

Exercise acutely increases gut permeability and inflammation, even in healthy populations. However, whether this response differs in groups at-risk for CVD that present with low-grade inflammation (e.g., normal-weight obesity) has yet to be examined. The investigators aim to measure serum indicators of gut permeability in those with normal-weight obesity pre- and post-short, intense exercise and sustained, moderate exercise

The purpose of this trial is to assess the impact of a 12-week remote dietitian supervised dietary and physical activity weight loss intervention and mobile app for patients with morbid obesity prior to undergoing total joint arthroplasty of the hip or knee. The hypothesis is that that the intervention will result in: 1) greater weight loss than usual care, 2) a higher percentage of patients eligible to undergo surgery by having a body mass index (BMI) below the standard cutoff of 40 kg/m2, and 3) a higher percentage of patients undergoing surgery within six months of study enrollment.

This is a single-arm longitudinal group to examine patient-reported outcomes, body mass and mammographic density changes pre- and post- weight loss intervention of breast cancer survivors using video conferencing telehealth visits.

The goal of this pilot interventional study is to learn about the use of an in-home harness system in children who have been treated for spinal muscular atrophy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the in-home body weight support harness system a feasible option for families to use? Is the in-home body weight support harness system a useful tool for children treated for spinal muscular atrophy? Is the in-home body weight support harness system a safe tool for children treated for spinal muscular atrophy? Participants will be given an in-home body weight support harness system and taught how to use it. Families will document how often and for how long they use the system over 6 months. Children will be given tests of motor function at the beginning, 3-months, and 6-months. At the end of the study, families will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about thier experience using the system.

This study aims to determine the relationships among loss of control eating, restriction, relative reinforcing value of high energy-dense food, and obesity risk. In order to achieve this aim, the investigators will follow children over the course of a year, obtaining behavioral and observational measurements, in addition to a two-week restricted access and two week non-restricted access period.
