Exercise and Weight Loss to Improve Mobility Function in Veterans With PAD

VA Office of Research and Development·interventional·Posted Nov 17, 2015·Updated Jun 17, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Exercise and Weight Loss for Peripheral Arterial Disease. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study is designed to examine the added benefits of weight loss to an exercise program in older obese Veterans with peripheral arterial disease. The investigators want to determine if weight loss in addition to exercise will 1) improve walking ability to a greater extent than exercise alone and 2) determine the underlying reasons why walking ability improves by measuring blood flow and the amount of muscle in the leg muscles.
