Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

The aim of this study is to identify polymorphisms that make children and adolescents more prone to obesity and metabolic dysfunction, as well as to identify biomarkers that are linked to causes and consequences of obesity.

The aim of this cohort is to identify environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that modify the human intestinal microbiota development during the first years of life, and to identify early microbiota features that associate to child health and well-being with focus on the development of allergic diseases and overweight.

The purpose of this study is to determine the type of macronutrient (carbohydrate, lipid or protein) that most potently stimulates the endogen secretion of different gut hormones (primary outcome = Glucagon-Like peptide-1) in gastric bypass operated patients. The study also includes a comparison of the secretion of gut hormones after oral intake of lipid with or without a pancreatic lipase inhibitor.

The primary purpose of the Bariatric Outcomes Longitudinal Database (BOLD) study is to assess the mid- and long-term outcomes of bariatric surgeries and to analyze the relationship between these outcomes and 1) patient demographics and comorbidities, 2) clinical and surgical characteristics, and 3) pre-operative, peri-operative and post-operative care and treatment.

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding obesity.

The objective of this study is to collect heart rate, respiration data and motion data of patients admitted to sleep lab and to determine the current accuracy level of the EarlySense system vs. the standard system, and predicate device for EarlySense (Embla) used in sleep lab in monitoring heart rate and respiration rates monitors (ECG, respiratory belts, oximeter) that are currently used in the sleep lab among different population (Obese, patients with or without apnea, patients with or without arrhythmia). It is emphasized that no interpretations or clinical decisions will be made based on data received from the ES study device.

The overall aim of the study is to investigate if patients with musculoskeletal chronic pain have reduced semen quality in comparison with age matched healthy controls. Secondly, the aim is to investigate whether overweight with or without chronic pain are related to reduced semen quality. We will investigate semen quality in obese chronic pain patients, normal weight chronic pain patients and in obese and normal weight healthy controls.

The goal of this behavioral research study is to learn if an internet or phone based exercise and weight management program can help cancer survivors to lose weight and change their eating and exercise behavior.

The goal of this study is to determine the association between genotypes and diet. The weight and weight loss data are already available from the previously completed study called: A to Z Study - Benefits and Risks of Alternative Weight Loss Strategies - A Clinical Trial, which was performed from 2003-2005 at Stanford University. In the present study, Interleukin Genetics will obtain DNA samples from the previously enrolled study subjects to investigate genetic influence of the response to macronutrient compositions of low caloric diets to weight loss.
