Study summary

The world prevalence of obesity in adult population in 2014 was nearly 13% while in Indonesia, it has reached 32.9% in the same year. Obesity is an established risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. A large proportion of people who had succeeded to reduce body weight failed to maintain it (weight cycling). Studies were inconclusive about the best composition in the diet for such people to have a better life quality and reduce risk factors from non-communicable disease. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the body composition changes, Inflammation marker and oxidative stress marker changes resulted from low calorie high protein and standard protein diet programme in obese people with history of weight cycling.

This is an open-randomized clinical trial of weight loss program as a part of a larger study researching the effect of low calorie high protein diet to body composition, oxidative stress, inflammation marker and metabolic syndrome in obese with weight cycling. Subjects were assigned to low calorie diet and were randomly distributed into two intervention groups, namely high protein group (22-30 % of total calories intake) and standard protein group (12-20%). Anthropometry, body composition data, and blood sample (for inflammation marker (HsCRP) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde and glutathione)) were taken at baseline and at the end of the study. Subjects were followed up to 8 weeks with daily reminder and weekly counselling

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • ranging from 25 - 35 kg/m2
  • history of weight loss ≥2 kg and regaining weight into or exceeding its initial body weight at least twice in last five years

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • diabetes mellitus
  • history of gastrointestinal tract resection
  • hormonal disorders
  • using hormonal
  • menopause,
  • kidney function disruption
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    high protein

    High protein (HP) group were given counseling about weight loss program by applying low calorie-high protein diet with diet menu composition of 22-30% protein, along with instructions for allowed cooking method.

    Behavioral: diet counseling

  • Active comparator
    standard protein

    Active comparator receiving standard protein (SP) proportion were counseled about weight loss program by means of low calorie-balanced composition diet with menu comprised of 12-20% protein.

    Behavioral: diet counseling

Interventions

  • Behavioraldiet counseling

    Subjects were given nutrition consultation, diet recipes, and logbook. Counseling was performed once weekly. During 8 weeks of diet program, subjects were instructed to reduce their daily caloric intake by 500 - 1000 kcal from their previous usual daily intake with limitation in low calorie diet range (800-1500 kcal.day) of calorie intake.Follow-up for each subject was performed once daily by person-to-person encounter. Besides, subjects were contacted by everyday cellphone texting and telephone twice a week to control subject's compliance. After 8 weeks of intervention, subjects were invited to revisit the clinic for anthropometry and body composition measurement after completing the program.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started May 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2017, 6 months after the start.

Of 3,683 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 3,846 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 42.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 15, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
