Trial Outcomes & Findings for Assessment of Energy Balance (NCT NCT01678885)

NCT ID: NCT01678885

Last Updated: 2017-05-31

Results Overview

A new method of digital photography of foods to measure the energy intake (EI) and macronutrient intake of free-living humans was tested. Digital photography (RFPM) EI was tested against measured food provisions during an in-feeding period and against EI measured with doubly labeled water (DLW) during free-living conditions for 1 week. EI measured by directly weighing food provisions in the clinic over two days and measuring food intake during free-living conditions over one week with the DLW.

Phase I Sub-study 1 - Dig Photo First, Then IDEEA & Actical
Participants completed 2 phases of the study. Phase I included a 2-week doubly labeled water period where they also wore activity trackers for one week, and used a food photography method for the other week. Phase II was an 8-week partial supplement low-calorie diet (LCD). This diet plan was a 1000-1150 kcal/day diet composed of HealthOne shakes and prepackaged portion controlled foods or home-cooked meals that participants completed in a free-living environment. Participants returned to follow-up at six and twelve months after they completed the LCD. During these assessments, anthropometric and questionnaire data were collected.

Phase 2- Low-Calorie Diet
Participants from sub-study 1 and 2 had the chance to receive the low-calorie diet based on their eligibility; i.e., BMI level. Participants completed 2 phases of the study. Phase I included a 2-week doubly labeled water period where they also wore activity trackers for one week, and used a food photography method for the other week. Phase II was an 8-week partial supplement low-calorie diet (LCD).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: ~6 days

Population: Free-living energy intake data were analyzed from the 40 participants who completed the protocol and provided urine samples for doubly labeled water analysis. This primary outcome measure was limited to one sub-study.

A new method of digital photography of foods to measure the energy intake (EI) and macronutrient intake of free-living humans was tested. Digital photography (RFPM) EI was tested against measured food provisions during an in-feeding period and against EI measured with doubly labeled water (DLW) during free-living conditions for 1 week. EI measured by directly weighing food provisions in the clinic over two days and measuring food intake during free-living conditions over one week with the DLW.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: Weight change was evaluated from all participants who received the low calorie diet in sub-studies 1 and 2 combined.

The secondary aim was to test if posture allocation (the amount of time spent engaging in certain behaviors e.g., sitting, walking, running, changing positions and the energy burned during these activities) predicts weight change over one year following a period of weight loss.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 week

Population: Of the 87 participants considered from phase 1 of sub-studies 1 and 2, five were excluded because they did not finish baseline accelerometry assessment, five were excluded because they did not enter the LCD due to BMI's \< 25. Seven were excluded because they did not successfully complete all aspects of the DLW dosing period.

Bland-Altman analyses compared the TDEE and AEE from the Sensewear® and IDEEA and Actical monitors to the DLW data from the week participants wore the monitors. Only the week of DLW data that corresponded with the wearing of the monitors was used for this analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: Participants from sub-study 1 and 2 combined were used in this analysis.

This secondary aim of the study was evaluated with linear regression analysis to determine if TEE, AEE, or measures of posture allocation predicted weight loss during the 8-week LCD. Percent weight change from diet initiation to termination was the dependent variable for the weight loss regressions. Of the 87 participants considered for these secondary analyses, five were excluded because they did not finish baseline accelerometry assessment, and an additional five were excluded because they did not enter the LCD phase due to BMI's \< 25. Finally, seven more participants from this original sample were excluded because they did not successfully complete all aspects of the DLW dosing period. Finally, an additional 4 subjects were lost to follow up during the 8-week LCD period. Thus, 66 participants were included in the analysis
