Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

Due to the rising problem of overweight and obesity, many strategies are implemented to combat this issue and one of the most common ways is exercise training. Aerobic exercise is a popular and effective conservative strategy for weight and adiposity management and commonly used exercise protocols are moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and interval training (IT). MICT is typically defined as continuous effort that elicits 55%-70% of the maximal heart rate or promotes oxygen consumption equivalent to 40%-60% of the maximum oxygen intake. IT involves repeated exercise with periods of recovery, which includes high intensity interval training (HIIT) and Sprint interval training (SIT). HIIT is exercising at 80% to 100% of maximal heart rate while SIT involves "all-out" or "supramaximal" effort at the intensity of 100% of maximal oxygen uptake. Multiple systematic reviews on the effect of SIT on aerobic capacity or comparisons between other forms of exercise protocols to reduce body adiposity has been conducted, but so far no systematic review has been carried out to evaluate the efficacy of this protocol solely on anthropometric measures on young obese and overweight adults alone. Hence, in this study, a systematic review of the effect of SIT on anthropometric measurements in young obese or overweight adults will be reviewed, filtered and assembled.

This study is designed to determine if a postnatal lifestyle intervention will lead to weight reduction over a 12 month period post-delivery in women who have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus and who have a BMI greater that 25 compared to women who receive routine care.

The worldwide increase in the prevalence of obesity is a cause of great concern. Pharmacological treatment options are being explored at the moment with a major focus on the hormones produced by the gastrointestinal tract which regulate hunger and satiation/satiety. Modulating the release of these hormones via bitter substances reduced appetite-related sensations and gastrointestinal motility in lean female volunteers. Intragastric administration of a quinine-solution has shown to decrease hunger sensations in healthy female volunteers. Now, we want to examine whether this effect is still seen in an overweight female population.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a recreational physical activity intervention for reducing the prevalence of overweight/obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors

The purpose of this research is to study how the price of foods affects food buying choices at the grocery store. The researchers are interested in this topic because the price of foods can have a big impact on what people choose to buy and prices change over time. The researchers are doing this study to see how changes in food prices affect what foods mothers choose for their families.

Aquatic cycling is becoming more popular as it appears to be more suitable for men and women even with poor physical activity level. Commercial tagline highlight beneficial effect of this activity on weight management. However there are poor information concerning the energy response induced by this activity. The aim of this project is to investigate effect of water temperature on energetic response (energy expenditure and food intake) of cycling exercise in water in normal weight and overweight premenopausal women.

The aim of this study is to acquire impedance measurements of the adult human body with a novel bioimpedance device housed inside a watch case and to compare derived estimates of body composition measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and other bioimpedance analysis (BIA) systems.

Patients who are overweight or obese, diabetic or not, share with those who are suffering from uric stones the same way to remove abnormal acidity of the body in urine, ie a kidney ammoniogenesis default. This results in an overly acidic urine pH which is directly pathogenic in people predisposed to develop uric stones because the precipitation of urate soluble uric acid is accelerated in acid medium. Excess visceral fat, particularly perirenal, this defect may promote formation of renal ammonium. Indeed, the perirenal fat is adjacent to the renal cortex and shares with it a common arterial supply via the plexus Turner. Adipokines and fatty acids of the perirenal fat are predisposed to gain the renal cortex, seat of the ammoniogenesis. In humans the pathogenic role of the perirenal fat is demonstrated in chronic kidney disease and essential hypertension. However, the amount of fat and perirenal that of intra-abdominal fat are positively correlated. Investigators hypothesis is that the perirenal fat also exert a pathogenic role in uric because of anatomical links between kidney stones and greasy environment and because excess fatty acids reaching the renal cortex decreases ammoniogenesis in an animal model metabolic syndrome. For the test, the investigators will compare the amount of fat and perirenal renal ability to form ammonium in patients with uric or calcium lithiasis taking into account the amount of intra-abdominal fat.

The main objective of the clinical trial is to investigate whether overweight type 2 diabetic patients have a different fecal microbiota profile compared with age, gender, BMI matched subjects and with lean healthy subjects before and after the consumption of fiber rich cereal bars.

The purpose of this study is to estimate antihypertensive effect of azilsartan medoxomil (Edarbi®) therapy on blood pressure in participants with overweight or obesity in routine clinical practice of hypertension (HTN) treatment in the Russian Federation and in the Republic of Kazakhstan..
