Evaluation of Consultation Including Genetic Aspects of Obesity

NCT00389246 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 420

Summary

More than 1,000 obese people are screened for genetic mutations (MC4R). Those with positive screenings as well as 320 randomly selected people without MC4R mutations are randomized to 2 consultation types: one including recommendations for eating and physical activity behavior, the other with an additional part on genetic determinants and actions in obesity. It is hypothesized that obese people with obesity-specific genetic mutations, and obese people with a family history of obesity, benefit more if the consultation includes additional elements on genetic determinants.
