About this study

Obese HIV-positive women with Metabolic Syndrome (HIV-MS) and obese HIV-negative women with Metabolic Syndrome will be studied before and after achieving moderate (6%-8%) diet-induced weight loss. The investigators hypothesize that health markers will improve in both groups but that the improvement will be blunted in the women with HIV-MS.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dietary InterventionBehavioural

    The nutrition curriculum will involve weekly group and individual sessions. The initial calorie goal will be ~750 kcal below the resting energy equivalent, and adjusted as needed to achieve weight loss targets.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of weight loss on body composition (time frame: three months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00857298, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Feb 2015.
