About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Technology Combined Self-health Management and Home Care Model Improved the Metabolic Diseases, Sarcopenia, and Serum Inflammation and Metabolic Markers Among Middle-aged and Elderly Individuals in the Community

The lifestyle program intervention program focusing on healthy dietary habit and exercise effectively prevents metabolic syndrome, sarcopenia or frailty. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of intervention program on metabolic syndrome subjects in Taiwan.

Read the detailed description

The study is a 2-parallel groups' randomized controlled trial. Participants with metabolic syndrome (three or more risk factors - triglycerides (TG) >150 mg/dL, systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥130 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥85 mm Hg, or fasting blood glucose≥100 mg/dL; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol<50 mg/dL, or waist circumference ≥80 cm) are enrolled. The four community units are randomized to receive a lifestyle intervention (intervention arm) or an education leaflet (control arm). The parameters are obtained from physical examination and biochemical assessments by well-trained case manager at baseline and 4th months. All participants complete a structured questionnaire, including basic information, SOF, physical performance, physical activity, and food-frequency.

    Measured: 4 month follow up

  2. body weight

    weight in kilograms

    Measured: 4 month follow up

  3. BMI

    weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2

    Measured: 4 month follow up

  4. Frailty

    measurement used study of osteoporotic fracture index (SOF).

    Measured: 4 month follow up

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. short physical performance battery

    sit-to-stand, standing balance, and gait-speed

    Measured: 4 month follow up

  2. upper limb muscle strength

    hand-grip strength

    Measured: 4 month follow up

  3. static balance ability

    single-leg standing with the eyes open

    Measured: 4 month follow up

  4. physical agility and dynamic balance ability

    Timed-Up and Go and Functional Reach Test

    Measured: 4 month follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing self-management skills and healthy technology APP in people with Metabolic Disease, run by Chang Gung University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shu-Hung Chang, Ph.D (886-2118999 ext. 5150, shchang@mail.cgust.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

metabolic syndrome (time frame: 4 month follow up). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Feb 2023.
