Gut Microbiota Changes in Obese Individuals Undergoing Dedicated Lifestyle Modification Programs

NCT02855242 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 32

Last updated 2021-12-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The human gut microbiota has become the subject of extensive research in recent years, particularly in regards to the role it plays in obesity. Although lifestyle factors, diet, and lack of exercise contribute largely to this obesity epidemic, there is increasing evidence that the human gut microbiota also influences weight gain.

The investigators hope to learn more information about the change in gut microbiota, especially with regards to those who are successful with weight loss, versus those who don't lose weight, after participating in a lifestyle modification program at the Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center (DAHLC).
