NCT04714723

Brief Summary

In this single-blind, randomized trial, 395 eligible volunteers, who have higher metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk and aged 20-65 years, will be assigned to one of two smartphone-based lifestyle intervention arms: 1) Programmed-smartphone intervention or 2) Programmed-smartphone plus dietitian intervention. Before and after 6-month intervention, "PhenFlex test" (PFT) was performed to examine and quantify improved metabolic flexibility. This intervention trial will be conducted by researchers in Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) collaborating with Zhejiang University affiliated Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committees in Shanghai Institutes of Nutrition and Health, and in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. The main aims of this study are to determine 1) efficacy of lifestyle interventions with different intensity in reducing MetS and its risk factors; 2) improved metabolic responses or flexibility defined by PFT-based homeostasis index; and 3) major genetic and nongenetic determinants for the efficacy of interventions among high MetS risk Chinese.

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Volunteers at high metabolic risk aged 20-65 who didn't participate in other studies in 3 months before the current research, having a certain level of education and normal cognitive ability, taking good care of himself/herself. MetS risk factors were identified by the definition proposed by the International Diabetes Federation criteria for Chinese adults. Participants should have central obesity (waist circumference ≥90 cm in men or ≥80 cm in women).

You may not qualify if:

  • Fasting glucose\>7.0mmol/L after taking insulin or other blood glucose-lowering drugs
  • Diagnosed phase three hypertension or can't lowering SBP under 160mmHg after anti-hypertension drugs
  • Fasting blood TG≥ 5.7 mmol/L or fasting LDL-C≥ 4.9 mmol/L after taking lipid-lowering drugs
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Obvious drug changing in three months before research
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse or other substance abuse (Alcohol abuse is defined as more than 40 g/day of alcohol for woman, and more than 80g/day for man)
  • Severe kidney and liver diseases (blood biomarkers such as alt, serum creatinine is 1.5 times over the scope of normal setting)
  • Severe Gastrointestinal diseases (such as severe diarrhea, constipation, severe digestive tract inflammation, active peptic ulcer, acute cholecystitis, etc.)
  • Having surgeries within one year before research such as heart stents implanted surgery (expect for appendicitis or hernia operation)
  • Severe cardiovascular disease (e.g., heart failure, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and acute myocarditis, severe arrhythmia, received the intervention therapy, etc.)
  • Cancer or receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy within 5 years
  • Severe pituitary or thyroid diseases
  • Suffering from AIDS, hepatitis A, hepatitis B and other infectious diseases
  • Mental disorders or current use of antidepressants
