Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Diet has a major role in the etiology of obesity, and there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that a variety of dietary factors can modulate obesity-induced chronic low-grade inflammation and thus the course of obesity-related chronic non-communicable diseases. The present intervention study aims to evaluate the effect of an anti-inflammatory diet on weight loss, body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors and immune system response among young adults of the obese younger adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Obesity pandemic presents a major challenge to chronic disease prevention worldwide. A low-grade chronic inflammation is associated with obesity and related cardiometabolic disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and some type of cancers. Diet has a major role in the etiology of obesity, and there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that a variety of dietary factors can modulate obesity-induced chronic low-grade inflammation and thus the course of obesity-related chronic non-communicable diseases. The present intervention study aims to evaluate the effect of an anti-Inflammatory diet on weight loss, body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors and immune system response among younger adults. A nutritional intervention based on an energy-restricted anti-inflammatory diet will be compared with an isocaloric standard diet (55-60% carbohydrates, 25% fat, 15-20% protein). The inflammatory potential of the diet will be assessed with the Dietary Inflammatory Index®.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Anti-inflammatory diet

energy-reduced diet with the use of low glycemic foods, wholegrain products, legumes, colorful vegetables and fruit, nuts, seeds, marine fish, olive oil, green/black tea, and multiple spices and herbs

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Anti-inflammatory energy-restricted diet

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

During 6 months the participants will we asked to use recommended energy-reduced diet with anti-inflammatory properties, based on colorful vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, marine fish, whole-grain products, and daily use of olive oil, green/black tea, multiple spices and herbs.

Control energy-resticted diet

isocaloric to anti-inflammatory diet, energy restricted diet (55-60% carbohydrates, 25% fat, 15-20% protein) used in a standard obesity management

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Control energy-restricted diet

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

During 6 months the participants of control group will be asked to use recommended energy-reduced diet based on standard obesity management (55-60% carbohydrates, 25% fat, 15-20% protein)
