NCT02400151

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to analyze in a population of obese adolescents, the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation in addition to lifestyle and dietary management on vascular function assessed by the change between M0 and M3 of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation measured at the brachial artery (Flow-Mediated Dilation).

Study Arms (3)

Non-Obese group

OTHER

Non-obese patients will be recruited and frequency matched to obese groups according to sex and level of sexual maturation. Intervention: Normal control

Other: Normal control

Obese group, Vitamin D

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects randomized to this group will receive vitamin D supplementation. They are recruited from the St Pierre Institute at Palavas-les-Flots, France. Intervention: 3 months lifestyle and dietary management Intervention: Vitamin D supplementation

Drug: Vitamin D supplementationOther: 3 months lifestyle and dietary management

Obese group, placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Subjects randomized to this group will receive a placebo supplement. They are recruited from the St Pierre Institute at Palavas-les-Flots, France. Intervention: 3 months lifestyle and dietary management Intervention: Placebo

Drug: PlaceboOther: 3 months lifestyle and dietary management

Interventions

Patients randomized to this group will receive 4000 UI of Vitamin D3 per day for 90 days.

Obese group, Vitamin D

Patients randomized to this group will receive placebo for 90 days.

Obese group, placebo

Lifestyle and dietary management at the Saint Pierre Institute (Palavas-les-Flots, France) occurs for three months. Nutritionally speaking, each child or adolescent receives a controlled and balanced diet, consistent with the recommendations appropriate for his/her age, slightly hypocaloric or normocaloric. This dietary approach is complemented by a nutrition education program and supervision by a doctor and a dietician. Three hours of exercise training per week are scheduled; these sessions include adapted aerobic activities supervised by instructors and educators at the center.

Obese group, Vitamin DObese group, placebo

Patients in this group do not have experimental intervention in order to provide measures of a real-life control group.
