Mean weight changes from baseline for each of the clinic visits for all participants who made the visit are shown in Figure 2. At each visit, weight in the commercial group was significantly lower than at baseline and the amount of loss was greater than in the self-help group. Weight in ...
Dietary strategies that help patients adhere to a weight reduction diet may increase the likelihood of weight loss maintenance and improved long-term health outcomes. Regular nut consumption has been associated with better weight management and less adiposity. The objective of this study was to compare...
It used a large population-based sample that provided more precise and generalizable results than previous clinic-based studies of weight loss and severe SDB in patients who were morbidly obese. Unlike those studies, this study was able to assess the relation between weight gain and SDB. This ...
This suggests that those diabetic patients who consume the most salt and water or who have the lowest glomerular filtration rates at the time of starting HD therapy or the swiftest loss of residual renal function are at greatest risk. Differences between findings in incident and prevalent groups ...
Approximately 370 overweight or obese postmenopausal breast cancer survivors (body mass index: 25.0 to 34.9 kg/m2) will be accrued and assigned to one of two weight loss intervention programs or a non-intervention control group. The dietary intervention is implemented in a free living population to...
Research Design This study was a parallel-group, randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of the Bright Bodies weight management program with conventional clinic management. Participants were randomized (2:1) to either the weight management program or control groups. Initially, a second rando...
The population-based nature of the sample allows for more generalization than would be possible from a clinic-based sample of youth. Another strength was the collection of actual height and weight measurements; most large population-based studies of youth rely on self-reported height and weight ...
2.2.3. Clinic Visit (CV) 1 At CV1 and 2, women reported to PBRC after an overnight fast during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Anthropometric characteristics (height; metabolic weight; mean arterial pressure (1/3 [systolic BP − diastolic BP] + diastolic BP)) were measured. ...
OPLS-DA is a supervised analysis for categorical outcomes; it was used to determine the peaks that were important for differentiating the responders to the intervention (≥5% weight loss) from the non-responders. Loadings plots and variable influence on projection (VIP) plots were inspected, and ...
SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA) was used for statistical analysis in this study. The results are considered significant at p < 0.05. 3. Results 3.1. Demographic Analysis The details of the sample characteristics are presented in Table 1. The adolescent sample was composed of 41% ...
