An interventional study of Personalized nutritional advice and Personalized nutritional advice and food boxes in Obesity, sponsored by TNO. Completed at 1 site in Netherlands. Open to participants aged 25 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-12.
Sponsored by TNO · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Studies have shown that personalized nutrition advice is more effective compared to generic nutrition advice for weight loss purposes. However, since decentralization of clinical trials is on the rise, it of interest to test whether personalized nutrition advice is as effective when provided fully digitally. In the current study the investigators compare the effects of generic vs. personal nutritional interventions in a fully digital study. Three groups are included, a control group receiving generic nutritional advice, an intervention group receiving personalized nutrition advice and an intervention plus group receiving personalized nutrition advice plus personalized meals. The trial takes six weeks. Anthropometric data are collected every two weeks and data on changes in nutritional diet are collected at the beginning and end of the intervention. In addition, the opinion of the participants on trial participation is asked as well every two weeks during the trial.
11,522 studies on the registry are indexed under Obesity; 2,033 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 180 is above the median of 67 across 9,006 interventional studies indexed under Obesity.

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.

Dietary habits as measured using the Nutri+ Module
Nutri+ Module is a food frequency questionnaire developed by TNO (TNO, Leiden, The Netherlands). This is used to obtain information on the habitual total food intake by asking food category consumption over the day.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Opinion on digital intervention as measured using an online questionnaire.
The online questionnaire contained the following questions and multiple choice answers: * How easily can the participant implement the nutritional advice? (very easily/easily/moderately/poorly/very poorly) * How pleasant is it to implement the nutritional advice? (very pleasant, pleasant, moderate, unpleasant, very unpleasant) * Did participant's diet change compared to before the intervention? (Yes/no) * Does the participant feel like the participant's diet is healthier compared to before the intervention? (Yes/no) * How easily can the participant perform the anthropometric measurements by themselves? (very easily/easily/moderately/poorly/very poorly) * Are the questions in the questionnaire clear? (yes/no)
Time frame: 6 weeks

Ran from Aug 2023 to primary completion in Dec 2023, 3 months.
Of 3,680 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 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,843 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 42.
