About this study

This is a cross-sectional study carried out on a sample of the adult population aged 18 to 69, distributed over the five archipelagos of French Polynesia.

Participation in the study involves: agreement to answer a questionnaire to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits and medical history; physical measurements (height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and skin pigmentation); and agreement to take biological samples (blood, saliva and stool) for biological, genetic and microbiological analyses.

The aim of the study is to assess the current health status of the population of French Polynesia and to evaluate the influence of contextual risk factors (lifestyle, place of residence, history of infection) and intrinsic susceptibility factors (genetics, age, gender, microbiota) in relation to non-communicable and infectious diseases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of obesity

    Proportion of participants with indicators of obesity based on physical measurements (BMI, waist circumference) and quantification of lipid levels from blood samples.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Prevalence of diabetes

    Proportion of participants with indicators of diabetes based on self-reported data on diabetes history (previous diagnosis, antidiabetic treatment) and quantification of glycated haemoglobin from blood samples.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Prevalence of cardiovascular diseases

    Proportion of participants with indicators of cardiovascular diseases based on self-reported data on history of hypertension (previous diagnosis, treatment for hypertension), blood pressure measurement, and quantification of lipid levels from blood samples.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Association between non-communicable diseases and behavioral factors

    Calculation of odd ratios to investigate association between non-communicable diseases (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases) and behavioral factors such as tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, diet or physical activity data self-reported by the participants in the questionnaire.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Association between non-communicable diseases and physical measurements

    Calculation of odd ratios to investigate association between non-communicable diseases (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases) and physical measurements such as BMI (based on the BMI formula i.e., weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared).

    Measured: 2 years

  6. Association between non-communicable diseases and blood analyses

    Calculation of odd ratios to investigate association between non-communicable diseases (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases) and blood analyses (such as glycated haemoglobin and lipid levels).

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Seroprevalence of communicable diseases

    Proportion of participants with IgG antibodies, detected in blood samples, specific for different pathogens : arboviruses (four dengue serotypes, Zika, chikungunya), hepatitis B and C viruses, hantaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens known to regularly cause infections in French Polynesia (including influenza viruses, human immunodeficiency virus…). Proportion of participants with positive filarial antigenemia to assess the prevalence of Bancroftian lymphatic filariasis.

    Measured: 2 years

  8. Composition of microbiome

    Bacterial DNA sequencing from stool and saliva samples to assess the gut and oral microbiota profiles and association with lifestyle behavior, diet and susceptibility to communicable and non-communicable diseases.

    Measured: 2 years

  9. Level of exposure to heavy metals

    Quantification of levels of heavy metals (including mercury and lead) from blood samples and association with lifestyle behavior and diet.

    Measured: 2 years

  10. Level of exposure to pesticides

    Quantification of levels of pesticides (including chlordane and toxaphene) from blood samples and association with lifestyle behavior and diet.

    Measured: 2 years

  11. Level of exposure to mosquito bites

    Proportion of participants with IgG antibodies targeting mosquito salivary proteins in blood samples to assess the risk of infection by mosquito-borne viruses

    Measured: 2 years

  12. Prevalence of ciguatera poisoning

    Estimation of the rate of ciguatera poisoning in the population based on data self-reported by the participants in the questionnaire e.g. the occurrence of symptoms suggestive for ciguatera poisoning at least once in their lifetime

    Measured: 2 years

  13. Demographic and adaptive history of French Polynesians using genomics

    Human Whole Genome Sequencing from saliva samples to reconstruct the genetic history of the population of French Polynesia, in terms of both demographic and adaptive history.

    Measured: 2 years

  14. Genetic susceptibility to obesity

    Genome-wide association studies to identify human genetic factors that are associated with BMI or lipids levels.

    Measured: 2 years

  15. Genetic susceptibility to diabetes

    Genome-wide association studies to identify human genetic factors that are associated with HbA1c.

    Measured: 2 years

  16. Genetic susceptibility to communicable diseases

    Genome-wide association studies to identify human genetic factors that are associated with the detection of IgG antibodies specific for different pathogens: arboviruses, hepatitis B and C viruses, hantaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens known to regularly cause infections in French Polynesia (including influenza viruses, human immunodeficiency virus…).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Questionnaire, Physical measurements and Biological samples in people with Non Communicable Diseases and Microbiome, run by Institut Louis Malardé at 1 site in French Polynesia.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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 18 Nov 2023. 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 French Polynesia. 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?

Prevalence of obesity (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 16 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 NCT06133400, 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 18 Nov 2023.
