The Belly Fat Study: Nutritional Intervention to Improve Metabolic Health in Subjects With Increased Abdominal Adiposity
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dietary advice, Western and Dietary advice, Targeted for Abdominal Obesity and Liver Fat. Completed, enrolled 110 participants.
Detailed Summary
In the Belly Fat study, the effects of two different caloric-restricted diets on metabolic health will be examined in male and female subjects with increased abdominal adiposity (BMI \>27 kg/m2). Metabolic health is defined as health of the primary metabolic organs the liver, gut and the adipose tissue, examined in a static state as well as after the application of a challenge test. The diets are equally caloric-restricted, but differ in nutrient composition. It is hypothesized that one of the two diets causes a larger improvement in organ health and reduction in liver fat.
