Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the implementation of an APP to track the nutritional status and diet habits of "chronic complex patients"(CCP) in order to improve their nutritional status and evaluate the level of adherence to dietetic counseling.

Undernutrition in the first 2 years of life is the largest preventable cause of death before age 5. Among those who survive, stunting before age two leaves millions with lifelong physical and cognitive deficits, which are difficult to compensate for later in life. Pakistan is home to the second largest number of stunted children in South Asia. The primary goal of this study is to rehabilitate moderately malnourished children aged 7-23 months and enable mothers to sustain this healthy growth at home by changing their infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, child care, hygiene and health-seeking behaviours.

Randomized controlled trial to establish evidence on which to base timing of enteral feeding after bedside PEG placement in ventilated Trauma and Surgical ICU patients.

Energy Deficit Syndrome (RED-S) is the impairment of physiological functioning caused by relative energy deficiency and includes impaired metabolic rate, menstrual, endocrine, hematological, immunological, gastrointestinal, bone, psychological, developmental and cardiovascular function. Eighty-seven percent of athletes show at least one symptom related to RED-S, with a higher prevalence in women. Treatment of RED-S preferably involves a multidisciplinary team of health professionals to address the complex interaction of nutrition, training, body image and performance. The main objective is to prevent energy deficit syndrome in female athletes in the province of Alicante through different training and diet protocols using a virtual platform. A 12-week single-blind randomized clinical trial with an intervention period and a control period (RCT) is proposed. The sports federations of the most representative practices in the province of Alicante will be selected by randomized sampling. The female athletes will be randomly divided into 4 groups (control group; control group with free use of the virtual platform; intervention group with Mediterranean diet and physical exercise planning; intervention group with red fruits and physical exercise planning).

Evaluating the efficiency of using the nutrient production toward nutrition status (anthropometric index, the prevalence of wasting), digestive disorders, anorexia, and upper respiratory infections in children aged 24 - 71 months.

Evaluating the efficiency of using Oral Nutritional Supplementation toward nutrition status (anthropometric index, the prevalence of wasting), digestive disorders, and anorexic in children aged 24 - 71 months.

Past studies have pointed out that adequate intake of calories and protein in the elderly can deferred sarcopenia and debilitating conditions. Therefore, this study intends to use oral nutrition as a way of nutritional supplements, without affecting the subjects' normal meal intake, and supplements with snacks It is expected that there will be benefits in protein and muscle synthesis. However, the palatability of oral nutritional products will affect the effectiveness of nutritional supplements. Therefore, this test provides nutrients that are easy for the subjects to ingest with a variety of flavors, in order to achieve the test calories and protein needs. In order to investigate and compare the nutritional status, serum zinc and vitamin D status in healthy (MUST score 0) elderly and at risk of malnutrition elderly, we recruited healthy elderlies in the nursing home.

Determine the diagnostic quality of the CIPA tool, in inpatients with stays longer than three days, in the observation of risk of malnutrition compared to the gold standard GLIM as a diagnosis of malnutrition.

In last decades, a change in dietary habits has been observed in industrialized countries characterized by a drastic increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF, Ultra-Processed Foods). As defined by the NOVA classification, UPFs are industrial formulations of food substances added with colourings, flavourings, emulsifiers, thickeners and other additives. Among the main compounds of UPFs are the advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Increasing evidence suggests an association between dietary exposure to AGEs and the development of chronic non-communicable diseases, such as obesity and allergies, in the general population, through increased oxidative stress and inflammation. Preliminary evidence suggests that a maternal diet rich in AGEs during pregnancy and lactation could negatively influence the composition of breast milk and have a negative impact on the infants health. However, data regarding the presence of derivatives of UPFs in breast milk are not available. The UFIM (Ultraprocessed Foods In Breast Milk) study aims at evaluate the presence of UPFs-derivatives compounds in breast milk.

This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate WMT in improving nutritional status in malnourished patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal rerouting surgery. In this multicenter trial, fifty-six patients will be enrolled in four Chinese sites. Participants will be randomized at a ratio of 1:1 to receive three WMTs through either mid-gut tube or colonic TET. After WMT, each participant will receive free diet plus 50% PEN. PEN should last for 4 weeks at home, with stool samples taken and stored at baseline, week 1, and 4 after WMT.
