About this study

Official title: Interaction of Genetic and Environmental Factors for Body Fat Mass Control: Observational Study for Lifestyle Modification and Genotyping

Although the effect of interaction between genetic and environmental factors on body fat mass (BFM) has been proposed, how lifestyle changes affect body weight with regard to the genetic composition needs to be verified. The investigators designed an observational study, consisting of healthy adults with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping and longitudinal monitoring of lifestyle including food consumption and physical activities. The investigators recruited the participants who desired to control their body fat mass. Participants freely choose one of the options among carbohydrate intake reduction, fat intake reduction or exercise amount increment to control their body fat mass. Their lifelog on exercise and diet were collected, using a wearable device, for three months. Further, the investigators assessed anthropometric and serologic markers to measure the effect of participant's lifestyle modification. The investigators evaluate the influence of genetic compositions on body fat reduction induced by lifestyle change. Four different genome-wide polygenic scores (GPS) of volunteers are calculated to test the genetic effects of each modification. In this lifestyle observational study, the investigators expect to validate the interaction of genetic and environmental factors in determining BFM, and implicate the healthcare utility of lifestyle modifications using personalized and genomic perspective.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change of body fat mass

    Anthropometric data including body fat mass were measured by InBody720 --assessing whole and segmental body composition.

    Measured: baseline and 14 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Unrecognized Condition, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 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 9 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

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?

Change of body fat mass (time frame: baseline and 14 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Mar 2020.
