Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

  • Satiety Score

    Results obtained from a validated ten-point scale Visual Analog Scale (VAS). On a scale 1 - 10, with the lowest being 1 and the highest being 10.

    12 weeks

  • Resting Metabolic Rate

    Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was measured by MedGem by MicroLife Medical Home Solutions, participants were in quiet, thermo-neutral environment, in a seated position, resting in a comfortable or reclined position for 5-15 minutes prior to measurement, without caffeine, food or exercise for at least four hours, with mouth-piece and nose-clip on, making sure of a good seal around the mouth and nose, holding MedGem device with arm support (e. g., pillow or opposite hand).

    12 weeks

  • Blood Pressures

    Both systolic and diastolic pressures were measured using the Omron Intellisense digital blood pressure monitor, Model HEM-739. Participants were measured in a seated position, left arm rested on the chair (or table) so that the cuff was at the same level as the heart, returned the palm upward, remained still and not talk.

    12 weeks

  • Heart Rates

    Heart rates were measured using the Omron Intellisense digital blood pressure monitor, Model HEM-739. Participants were measured in a seated position, left arm rested on the chair (or table) so that the cuff was at the same level as the heart, returned the palm upward, remained still and not talk.

    12 weeks

  • Glucose Levels

    Glucose levels were measured by CardioChek Plus. Participants were measured in a seated position with the index finger cleaned with an alcohol wipe dry until dried, a sterile lancet was used to puncture the skin on the side of the fingertip, around 100 microliter of blood was collected. With the glucose test strip already inserted into the device, 35-40 microliter of blood was applied to the test strip window and results appeared in approximately two minutes after.

    12 weeks

  • Cholesterol Levels

    Cholesterol levels were measured by CardioChek Plus. Participants were measured in a seated position with the index finger cleaned with an alcohol wipe dry until dried, a sterile lancet was used to puncture the skin on the side of the fingertip, around 100 microliter of blood was collected.

    12 weeks

  • Body Fat

    Body fat were measured by a pre-calibrated Tanita BC-418 Body Composition Analyzer, participants were measured in a standing position with shoes and socks removed, without exercise for at least four hours prior to the measurement, on an empty bladder, with both arms held straight down, not touching sides, inner thighs not touching, and feet cleaned.

    12 weeks

  • Body Weight

    Body weights were measured by a pre-calibrated Tanita BC-418 Body Composition Analyzer, participants were measured in a standing position with shoes and socks removed, without exercise for at least four hours prior to the measurement, on an empty bladder, with both arms held straight down, not touching sides, inner thighs not touching, and feet cleaned.

    12 weeks

  • Waist and Hip Ratio (WHR)

    Waist and hip circumference measurements were measured according to the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III protocol. Participants were measured in a standing position, waist measurement was made at the high point of the iliac crest, hip measurement was made at the maximum extension of the buttocks, tape was parallel to the floor and snug, but not compressing skin.
