Trial summary

The study investigated the effectiveness of home-based exercise combined with a slight caloric restriction on weight change during 12 months in non-obese women. In addition the investigators evaluate the effects of baseline insulin resistance on modulation of weight change. Read more about this study

About this study

The study investigated the effectiveness of home-based exercise combined with a slight caloric restriction on weight change during 12 months in non-obese women. In addition the investigators evaluate the effects of baseline insulin resistance on modulation of weight change.

A randomized clinical trial with a factorial design was conducted from 2003 to 2005. Two hundred three middle-aged women (Rio de Janeiro/Brazil), 25-45 years, were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control (CG) and home-based exercise (HB). The HB group received a booklet on aerobic exercise that could be practiced at home (3 times/week - 40 min/session), in low-moderate intensity, during 12 months. Both groups received dietary counseling aimed at a slight energy restriction of 100-300 calories per day.

The HB experienced a greater weight loss in the first 6 months (-1.4 vs. -0.8 kg; p=0.04), but after 12 months there was no differences between groups (-1.1 vs. -1.0; p=0.20). Of the serum biochemical markers, HDL-cholesterol showed major change, with an increase at month 12 of 18.3 mg/dl in the HB compared to 9.5 in the CG (p<0.01). At baseline the non-IR group (n=121) compared to IR (n=64) had similar values of BMI (26.7 vs. 26.3 p=0.21), but statistically significant lower values of waist, glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR, as expected. When the group non-IR and IR were further stratified by GI diet, there were no differences according to diet in both groups. Women classified as IR at baseline had greater weight loss after 12 months of follow-up (-1.62 kg vs. -1.08 kg; p=0.01), and HB exercise helped to reduce weight only among NIR women (-1.51 vs. -0.68; p=0.04); no differences were observed between intervention groups for IR women (-1.54 vs. -1.66; p=0.24). There were no differences between IR and NIR groups for lipid profile after adjustment for weight changes. During follow-up, changes were more pronounced among those women in the high GI diet. These differences were statistically significant for weight and BMI and were greater among the IR compared to the non-IR. Changes in HOMA-IR after 3 months of follow-up were different comparing non-IR with IR at baseline. The IR had a reduction in the HOMA-IR, whereas in the non-IR this value increased (-0.73 vs. +0.37; p=<0.001). Also this reduction was greater among high compared to low GI diet (p=0.04).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Low glycemic index diet, High glycemic index diet and Home-based exercise intervention in people with Obesity Prevention, run by Rio de Janeiro State University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01206413, 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 21 Sep 2010.
