Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

Large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants have a higher risk of metabolic disease later in life, and their postnatal growth in early childhood may be associated with long-term adverse outcomes. The purpose of this study is to explore whether comprehensive lifestyle intervention in the first year after birth in LGA infants will reduce the rate of overweight/obesity at childhood and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes and its possible mechanism.

The objective of this study is to design, implement, and pilot a lifestyle-based, 12-week, weight loss program for parents of children with a disability. This weight loss program supports weight loss among parents. It is a first step towards a parent-only approach to promote healthier weight among children with a disability.

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a serious chronic condition and one of the world's fastest growing health problems. The onset of T2DM is gradual, with most individuals progressing through a state of pre-diabetes, which provides an important window of opportunity for the prevention of T2DM and its complications. This project aims to translate the evidence-based diabetes prevention strategies into community setting and utilize mobile health technology to reduce diabetes risks in Hong Kong.

Resistance training is a common way of daily exercise which has a remarkable function in healthcare. It has been used in many diseases as a complementary method. Overweight and obesity are the sixth highest risk of death worldwide. In recent years, the data show that the rate of overweight obese among college students shows a significant increasing trend. The common characteristics of overweight and obese people are strong appetite which is difficult to be controled and sedentary. resistance training is a solid supplement to physical education and how to reduce appetite of overweight and obese college female students through resistance training is the key to increase their health by university sport course. The training plan divides the training intensity into three levels including 45-50% one repetition maximum(1RM), 60-65% 1RM, 45-50% 1RM, respectively plus control group. Therefore, this experimental research examines the effectiveness and the differences of three Intensities resistance training on energy intake and appetite regulation among overweight and obese college girl. Finally, to evaluate whether the resistance training can reduce the overweight and obese female college students' energy intake and appetite regulation

Despite the many associated health benefits, more than half of Veterans do not achieve enough regular physical activity. The investigators' prior work has demonstrated that gamification, a method commonly used for health promotion, can lead to sustained increases in physical activity if it is designed using insights from behavioral economics to enhance social incentives. In this study, the investigators will compare the effectiveness of behaviorally designed gamification that encourages Veterans to collaborate or compete on physical activity levels and examine clinical outcomes as well as costs, barriers and facilitators to implementation of the program within Veterans Affairs.

This RCT study will evaluate the effect of a lifestyle intervention on overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary hypothesis is that the mHealth-based intensive lifestyle intervention is sufficient to achieve weight loss and maintain glycated hemoglobin control.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, alongside its associated comorbidities including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer. Effective weight management strategies are thus paramount to improve the population´s health. One of the key causes of obesity lies in excessive energy consumption derived from eating too large portions of food. In this context, practical tools to control portion size represent a promising, cost-effective strategy. This study will investigate whether using an optimized portion-control toolkit to consume a meal under controlled laboratory conditions has a positive effect on the nutritional quality of the meal as well as any benefits in physiological, cognitive, affective and behavioural outcomes. The study will involve 40 volunteers with overweight or obesity who will attend two lunch sessions at the Center for Nutrition Research of the University of Navarra (Spain) on two different days. At each session, participants will be invited to self-serve and eat a lunch from a cold buffet. On day one, participants will self-serve and season their food using control tools (conventional kitchen serving spoons and oil dispenser). On day two, participants will self-serve the same foods as on day one but using experimental tools (calibrated portion-control serving spoons and calibrated oil dispenser). A set of cognitive tests will be completed before, during and after the meal. Conventional and experimental tools will be compared in terms of the following variables: meal portion size and energy density, cognitive effort while serving food, cephalic and intestinal satiety responses, appetite sensations, energy adjustment post-meal, awareness of the quantities of the previously consumed foods and recalibration of portion size norms. Additionally, the study will explore acceptance for and intention to use the optimized portion control toolkit, as well as intention to change eating habits. It is expected that the findings from this study will shed light into the cognitive and physiological processes associated with portion control. It may also help to explain individual variations in the responses to obesogenic environments, which will hopefully lead to improved personalized interventions.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a mobile health intervention in adolescents (14-17 years) with overweight or obesity. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1) is a digital-based diet quality intervention for adolescents with overweight or obesity feasible and 2) is there preliminary effectiveness in improving diet quality? Participants will: Complete three-day 24-hour dietary recalls Collect urine samples Wear a continuous glucose monitor, sleep tracker, and physical activity tracker Researchers will compare control and intervention groups to see if diet quality and meal timing traits improve as assessed by 24-hour dietary recalls, a novel urine biomarker, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

The goal of this interventional study is to test whether consumption of Wonderlab probiotics with prebiotics could improve obesity and overweight in Chinese people who are aged 25-45 and overweight. The main question it aims to answer is: - whether the weight of participants can be lost after 10 weeks' intervention 150 participants will be randomized into 3 study groups (50 each group) in the two study sites, who will consume assigned product according to instructions for 10 weeks. Three site visits will be made for each participant and all relevant clinical data will be captured and recorded into CTMS(Clinical Trial Management System) for statistical analysis. Researchers will compare the three groups to conclude whether the Wonderlab study product can improve obesity and overweight over placebo product.

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics characteristics and immunogenicity of TG103 injection, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, for weight management in non-diabetic patients with BMI greater than or equal to 28 kg/m2 or greater than 24 kg/m2 in the presence of comorbidities, in addition to lifestyle intervention (calorie restrict diet and increased physical activity).
