Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

The incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide. Because of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with type 2 diabetes, it is imperative to propose methods of prevention and this in early stage of abnormal glucose metabolism. This study will assess the beneficial effects of physical activity (acute and chronic effects) (the subjects being their own controls) on cardiometabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in 3 conditions : unstimulated (fasting and resting conditions) and stimulated conditions: postprandial response to a standardized meal preceded or not by an exercise bout. The investigators hypothesized that an acute bout of exercise will decrease the postprandial inflammatory response to a standardized meal and that this effect of exercise will be increased after 3 months of exercise training.

The researchers will investigate blood and fecal responses in qualified study participants after eating walnuts for 4 weeks compared to not eating walnuts for 4 weeks. The two dietary interventions will be separated by a 4 week washout period. The order of diets will be random; study participants will complete both interventions. Dietary modifications will be part of the study protocol.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the addition of two different probiotic interventions to a comprehensive behavioral lifestyle intervention on body weight loss and overall health in overweight adults.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if disturbances in cytokines or factors of the metabolic syndrome, can predict complications in pregnancy, birth, and the perinatal period in pregnant women with type 2 diabetes or who are overweight. At the same time we, the investigators at Rigshospitalet, want to determine if physical activity in the overweight pregnant woman can influence these factors in a favourable way and, with that, improve the progress of pregnancy and birth.

This study was aimed to investigate the associations between platelet number and 25(OH)D serum concentration in apparently healthy but overweight/obese subjects.

The study was aimed at comparing four different anthropometric parameters to cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese subjects (Body Mass Index (BMI)≥25)

This study evaluates patient response to a motivation evolution chart for a medical-nutrition intervention as a continuation of a previous study: adherence to an overweight and obesity treatment available at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25101227

Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) is closely related to overweight/obesity. By studying different dietary patterns (energy-limited diet vs. low-carbohydrate diet) and intensive lifestyle interventions combined with blood glucose monitoring, glucose regulation of overweight/obesity is affected. To improve the blood glucose and related metabolic indexes of patients with impaired (IGR), establish 1-2 clinical intervention programs for impaired glucose regulation.

To assess the feasibility and acceptability of genuine pharmacy follow up of people wishing to lose weight.

The purpose of the study is to develop methods to evaluate the eating behavior of adolescents, including overweight, normal weight, and candidates for adolescent bariatric surgery.
