About this study

Official title: A Novel Estimation of Energy Balance Through the Calibration of Consumer Devices in Free-living, Rural US Children

The purpose of this study is to apply measurement error techniques on consumer devices to assess rate of energy storage [ES] and energy expenditure [EE], then estimate EI using the intake-balance technique.

The goal of this study is to develop calibration models that will be able to be translated to other consumer devices with only minor modifications given common hardware (e.g. triaxial accelerometry), resulting in overall improved ability to assess energy balance and EI at a population level and positive health outcomes.

Read the detailed description

There are four stages in the proposed project: 1) We will validate EE and ES (hereafter, Fitbit_EE and Fitbit_ES) from a consumer physical activity monitor (Fitbit Alta HR™) and body composition analyzer (Fitbit Aria™) with gold-standard measures of DLW for EE and DXA for ES during a 14-day baseline period; 2) We will estimate EI using the intake-balance method during the 14-day baseline period; 3) We will calibrate daily Fitbit_EE and Fitbit_ES from consumer devices using a Bayesian semi-parametric measurement error modeling approach to estimate energy balance; 4) We will reassess our validation and calibration models of consumer devices during a 14-day post-study assessment period to evaluate changes associated with growth and development with gold-standard measures of DLW for EE and DXA for ES.

Aims of the proposed study are to:

Specific Aim 1. Validate and calibrate consumer devices to estimate energy balance using gold-standard methods and a Bayesian semi-parametric approach. Hypothesis 1: We will be able to jointly model measurement error for both EE and ES to create a calibration model that reduces bias and improves accuracy of consumer devices of EE and ES.

Specific Aim 2. Estimate energy intake using the intake-balance technique using consumer monitors. Hypothesis 2:We will use calibrated EE and ES from consumer monitors to estimate EI using the intake-balance technique, with values being superior to self-reported EI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Energy intake

    Energy intake will be assessed subjectively via interviewer-administered dietary recalls. Three dietary recalls will occur on randomly selected non-consecutive days over each one-week treatment condition (including at least one weekend day) to minimize preparation that could bias recall by the participants. All interviews will be conducted over the telephone, will ask about all foods consumed over the previous 24 hours using a multi-pass approach, and energy intake will be calculated using the Nutrient Data System for Research software (NDSR Version 2014).

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Energy expenditure

    Energy expenditure will be assessed using the doubly labelled water (DLW) technique over a two week period.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Body composition

    Assessment of body composition, including fat mass, fat free mass, and visceral adipose tissue, will be completed using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Physical Activity, run by Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 11 Feb 2022. 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 United States. 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?

Energy intake (time frame: 8 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 11 Feb 2022.
