Brief Summary

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

In a previous study the investigators have developed a novel biological age model. Assessing biological age is the assessment of the present health status and functional capacity/physiological reserve of that person in comparison with people of the same age and sex.

The aim of this study is to investigate the utility and validity of this novel biological age model designed for health promotion in real world conditions.

Detailed Description

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

Study design: This is a longitudinal study, where biological age assessment is conducted in the first and final week of an 11-14 week lifestyle intervention course. These courses take place at a Danish folk high school (Ubberup), which is specialized in performing intensive lifestyle interventions targeting a 10% weight loss. The intention is to include 80 adult men and women.

Data collection: This will take place at the facilities at Ubberup folk high school, participants being overnight fasted and without having exercised for the previous 24 hours. All analysis will be performed in investigators lab (Xlab) at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Copenhagen University. When all samples are analysed Biological age will be calculated for each particpant.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The 14 week courses takes place at a Danish folk high school (Ubberup), specialized in lifestyle interventions targeting a 10% weight loss. Adult individuals with obesity sign up for the course. They stay at the School for the whole course period and the total cost amounts to 300-400 Euros per week plus loss of income.
