An interventional study of Dairy snack and Berry snack in Postprandial Hyperglycemia, sponsored by University of Eastern Finland. Completed at 1 site in Finland. Open to participants aged 65 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-11-25.
Sponsored by University of Eastern Finland · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
Malnutrition or its risk is common among older people. To maintain adequate nutrition, increased meal frequency is important. In addition to main meals, regular consumption of nutrient- and energy-dense snacks is recommended. The study examines the post-meal responses to dairy- and berry-based snacks tailored for older people. The plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin and free fatty acids are measured during three hours after snack consumption. In addition, subjective satiety responses and heart rate variability are recorded.
713 studies on the registry are indexed under Hyperglycemia; 108 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 26 is below the median of 45 across 531 interventional studies indexed under Hyperglycemia.

Change in postprandial satiety scores assessed by using visual analogy scales
Visual analogue scales (VAS) are used to assess satiety and other related subjective sensations (fullness, hunger, desire to eat, alertness) within 3 hrs after meal. Each VAS consists of a 100-mm horizontal line anchored with verbal descriptions at each end expressing the weakest (0 mm) or strongest (100 mm) statement of sensation. Results are scores between 0 and 100.
Time frame: 3 hrs
Heart rate variability
Electrocardiography monitoring for assessment of several variables of heart rate variability
Time frame: 3 hrs

Ran from Feb 2016 to primary completion in Jun 2016, 4 months.
Of 199 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hyperglycemia, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 24. This study's 4 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 216 studies reached it within 14 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 24.
