Active clinical trials for "Overweight"

A registry of individuals that visit the Obesity Clinic of the University Hospitals of Leuven will be established. The objective of this registry is to improve the knowledge about obesity, the treatment of obesity and its outcomes.

Early childhood obesity is a serious worldwide problem, and fundamental movement skills (FMS) are very important factors in human movement. Thus, several advanced studies have examined the associations between FMS, body mass index (BMI) and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between FMS, BMI and quality of life in Egyptian school aged children.

Childhood malnutrition is a global public health issue with devastating consequences on the health, well-being, and psychosocial development of children. Emerging evidence suggests that malnourished children have immature gut microbiota compared to age-matched healthy controls and it does not repair even after nutritional interventions. The present study aims to characterize how the gut microbiome develops during the first two years of life in children residing in Newly Merged Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the region with the highest prevalence of childhood malnutrition in Pakistan and the region.

The retrospective cohort study will compare the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors between older patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and older patients with obesity without previous bariatric surgery.

The goal of this randomized pilot clinical trial is to describe the feasibility of a couple-based lifestyle intervention and the study protocol in preparation for a future definitive randomized clinical trial. Participants include individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes and their romantic partners. The main objectives are: To describe the feasibility of the couple-based intervention. To describe the feasibility of the study protocol for use in a definitive trial. Participating couples will be randomized to one of two year-long lifestyle intervention conditions: an individual curriculum or a couple-based curriculum. Participants will complete assessments before and after the year-long intervention, as well as monthly during the intervention. Data will be collected on: feasibility, background, health behaviors, physical and mental health, and relationship functioning.

A registry of individuals with type 1 diabetes that visited the Department of Endocrinology of the University Hospitals of Leuven is established. The objective of this registry is to phenotype patients with type 1 diabetes and obesity and their response to treatment with regard to their outcomes

Obese individuals need to be evaluated comprehensively before exercise programs are determined. Determination of exercise intolerance is important for the detection of functional limitations. One minute sit to stand test (1MSTST) can be used as an alternative to cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) or field tests. It is easy to use, quick to apply, valid and reliable, and applicable even in small areas. In addition, it is a simple assessment adequate for children's needs and behaviors and can be easily applied both in the clinic and at home, making it easier to use in children. Studies have shown that 1MSTST is a valid test in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, and, healthy children and adolescents. However, no study has been found regarding the validity of its use in obese children and adolescents.The aim of our study is to investigate the validity and reliability of 1MSTST in overweight-obese children and adolescents.
