CALERIE (PBRC, Baton Rouge) - Comprehensive Assessment of Long-Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy - Full Text View

Sponsor:	National Institute on Aging (NIA)
Information provided by:	National Institute on Aging (NIA)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00099151

Purpose

This study is one of three CALERIE trials that test the hypothesis that a reduced calorie, nutritionally sound diet improves biomarkers of aging and prevents some age-related chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The three sites that are participating in the CALERIE trial represent a diversity of subject populations and interventional strategies.

Detailed Description:

This study tests whether chronic caloric restriction improves risk factors of longevity in humans as it is known to do in animals, by measuring a variety of factors dealing with metabolism and oxidative stress, through physical evaluations and laboratory tests.

Participants will receive dietary counseling and free medical evaluations. In addition, each volunteer will be asked to do one of the following:

Follow a reduced calorie diet
Follow a reduced calorie diet using a liquid diet
Increase physical activity while on a reduced calorie diet
Follow a standard diet.

Three separate five-day inpatient stays are required.
