About this study

Official title: The Influence of Reducing Diets on Changes in Thyroid Parameters in Women Suffering From Obesity and Hashimoto's Disease

Hashimoto's disease is listed among the most common endocrine causes of obesity. As treatment of obesity in women with Hashimoto's disease is frequently unsuccessful, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two different reducing diets and their influence on changes in thyroid parameters in the female patients. A six-month observational/interventional study was performed on 100 women aged 18-65 years, previously diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and obesity and receiving L-thyroxine. The women were randomly assigned to the test group (group A, n=50) following elimination/reducing diets, and the control group (group B, n=50) following reducing diets with the same caloric content (without elimination). Anthropometric and thyroid parameters were evaluated at the beginning, after 3 months and after 6 months of treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Individually balanced elimination/reducing dietsBehavioural

    Participants received diets in the range of 1400-1600 kcal/day (with a deficit of about 1000 kcal/day, depending on the resting metabolism and energy expenditure during the day). At the initial visit and every subsequent month, the women received individually balanced elimination/reducing diets, in accordance with the previously performed food sensitivity tests for 6 months. Laboratory tests for type III food sensitivity in the IgG1-3 class using the ELISA method were performed in an accredited medical laboratory. Diets were designed by a qualified dietitian using the Aliant (Poland) diet calculator. Each diet had the same macronutrient content - 25% protein, 30% fat, and 45% carbohydrate, and met the daily requirements for micro and macro elements for the given age group.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Test group (group A)ExperimentalThe women were randomly assigned to group A. Test group included 50 women aged 18-65 years with previously diagnosed Hashimoto's disease and obesity. Hashimoto's disease (AITD) was diagnosed by a specialist based on the ultrasound image characteristic of AITD and high levels of anti-thyroid antibodies.
Receives: Behavioral: Individually balanced elimination/reducing diets

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on body weight changes in patients from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    The body weight (kg) was measured using a scale with a stadiometer.

    Measured: This measurement was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

  2. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on body weight changes in patients suffering from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    The height (cm) was measured using a scale with a stadiometer. This measurement is needed to calculate the Body Mass Index.

    Measured: This measurement was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

  3. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on Body Mass Index changes in patients suffering from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    Body Mass Index (kg/m^2) was calculated from the measurements of height and weight using a mathematical formula.

    Measured: This measurement was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

  4. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on changes in muscle mass in patients suffering from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    Muscle mass (kg) was determined using the bioimpedance method with a TANITA BC-420 body composition analyzer (T6360, Japan).

    Measured: This measurement was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

  5. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on changes in total body water in patients suffering from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    Total body water (kg) was determined using the bioimpedance method with a TANITA BC-420 body composition analyzer (T6360, Japan).

    Measured: This measurement was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

  6. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on changes in percent body fat in patients suffering from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    Percent body fat (%) was determined using the bioimpedance method with a TANITA BC-420 body composition analyzer (T6360, Japan).

    Measured: This measurement was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

  7. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on changes in thyroid parameters in patients suffering from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    Laboratory tests were performed to determine the following serum levels: TSH, fT3, fT4, anti-TPO, and anti-TG. Blood samples were collected in an accredited medical laboratory, in the morning, on an empty stomach after a 12-hour fast.

    Measured: This examination was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

  8. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on changes in glucose blood level in patients suffering from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    Laboratory tests were performed to determine glucose blood level. Blood samples were collected in an accredited medical laboratory, in the morning, on an empty stomach after a 12-hour fast.

    Measured: This examination was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

  9. Effect of reducing/elimination diets based on IgG1-3 food sensitivity tests and standard balanced reducing diets on changes in lipid profile in patients suffering from obesity and Hashimoto's disease.

    Laboratory tests were performed to determine the lipid profile: total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides. Blood samples were collected in an accredited medical laboratory, in the morning, on an empty stomach after a 12-hour fast.

    Measured: This examination was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.

(time frame: This measurement was repeated during 3 visits every 12 weeks.). The study lists 9 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 NCT04752202, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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.
