Active clinical trials for "Obesity"

The study evaluates an intervention, The CIrCLE of Life Initiative, which was developed to address HIV and obesity prevention. We evaluated whether the combined HIV and obesity intervention increased knowledge, enhanced skills, and/or promoted healthy behaviour among pre-adolescent students (9-12 years old) and their parents.

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 aims to evaluate if a web-based digital support system aiming to replacing or complement standardized pediatric behavioural obesity treatment. The hypothesis is that a digital system of communication between the family and the clinic can generate improved treatment results (change in BMI SDS) and reduce the number of missed visits.

Background: Osteoporotic fractures are a major public health issue. They cause substantial disability, loss of autonomy, morbidity and excess mortality. Diabetes is also associated with increased risk for falls and fractures through a direct impact of elevated blood glucose on the skeleton and on muscles. Research project overview: The investigators propose a cross-sectional study that will involve 2 research centers in the province of Quebec. The investigators will recruit 20 obese participants, without diabetes, who have not undergone bariatric surgery, for one-time measurements to be compared with baseline measurements (pre-surgery) from participants in the bariatric obese diabetic groups with type II diabetes mellitus from the ongoing study BODI study (NCT03455868). Bone Mineral Density as well as muscle quality, strength and function will be evaluated at a single study visit. Relevance: This data will permit the evaluation of the bone-muscle unit in patients with obesity with and without diabetes, and assess whether the presence and duration of diabetes impacts further on clinical and functional musculoskeletal outcomes (falls, fractures and mobility and strength) in this population. AGEs, if associated with muscle and bone deterioration, might become an easily accessible biomarker of musculoskeletal health in the clinical setting.

The bariatric surgery is recommended for treatment of patients with severe obesity, resulting in greater weight loss and improvement of cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities. However, weight regain is observed in patients after surgery, leading to health adverse outcomes. The purpose of this study is to identify the rate of weight regain and predictive factors of regain in bariatric patients without outpatients care regular.

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

Obesity is associated with poor asthma control and greater healthcare utilization and costs. In this study the researchers will examine the biologic and behavioral interrelationships between these conditions and their impact on outcomes. Towards this end, the researchers will conduct an observational prospective cohort study of 400 obese asthmatic patients treated at institutions in New York City and Denver, and develop and pilot test educational and counseling modules that take an integrated approach to asthma and obesity self-management support.

Fear processing in obesity and specifically the ability to i) learn and remember threatening stimuli, and ii) implicitly (i.e., unconsciously) and explicitly (consciously) discriminate them from neutral ones, will be investigated in affected individuals through the fear-conditioning paradigm.

Our study has the objective of identifying the epidemiological profil of the patients, as well as, the clinical, radiological and prognosis of obese patients with covid 19.

THe aim of this study is to determine the frequency of dissociative tendencies in the obese population treated at the CELIOBE (Liberal Center for Obesity Support) at Hôpital Privé La Louvière among patients consulting for the first time and looking for a medical or surgical course. The DES scale of Carlson and Putman will be used.
