1 Translational Neuroscience: Response Training for Obesity Treatment

This project will test whether a food response training intervention produces lasting body fat loss, use objective brain imaging to examine the mechanism of effect of this treatment and investigate the generalizability of the training to non-training foods, and examine factors that should amplify intervention effects to provide a test of the intervention theory. This novel treatment represents a bottom-up implicit training intervention that does not rely on executive control, prolonged caloric deprivation, and expensive clinicians to deliver, like behavioral weight loss treatments that have not produced lasting weight loss. If this computer-based response training intervention produces sustained body fat loss in overweight individuals, it could be easily implemented very broadly at almost no expense, addressing a leading public health problem.

2 Enhancing Effectiveness of a Dissonance-Based Obesity Prevention Program

This project seeks to improve the effectiveness of a novel dissonance-based obesity prevention program that has reduced future BMI gain and overweight/obesity onset by (a) experimentally testing whether implementing it in single- versus mixed-sex groups, which should increase dissonance-induction that contributes to weight gain prevention effects, and (b) experimentally testing whether adding food response and attention training, which theoretically reduces valuation of and attention for high-calorie foods, increases weight gain prevention effects. This randomized trial would be the first to experimentally manipulate these two factors in an effort to produce superior weight gain prevention effects. A brief effective obesity prevention program that can be easily, inexpensively, and broadly implemented to late adolescents at risk for excess weight gain, as has been the case with another dissonance-based prevention program, could markedly reduce the prevalence of obesity and associated morbidity and mortality.

3 Families Becoming Healthy Together

The investigators plan to implement a novel limited RED (high-energy-dense) food variety prescription within a 18-month FBT to examine its effect on 18-month body mass index (BMI). This will be the first randomized control trial to examine how habituation rate, assessed via salivary habituation, mediates reduction in RED food intake, overall energy intake, and reductions in BMI over time, as well as if baseline habituation rate is a behavioral phenotype that moderates BMI outcomes. One hundred fifty-six children aged 8 to 12 years at > 85th percentile BMI will be randomized to one of two, 18-month interventions compared in our 6-month pilot study: FBT (family-based behavioral obesity treatment) or FBT+Variety. Child and adult caregiver assessments will occur at 0, 6, 12, and 18 months on anthropometrics, dietary intake (RED food variety, energy, and diet quality), habituation, and physical activity.

Adherence to the prescriptions in the two conditions will be examined. At 6, 12, and 18 months, the percentage of goals met each day will be calculated, with a mean percentage calculated. We will also provide a detailed list of snack foods to participants, and they will be asked to indicate which of the foods on the list were eaten during the previous month, regardless of quantity consumed.

4 Outpatient Clinic in Obesity Care During COVID-19 Outbreak: Physically Far, Virtually Near. Brief Correspondence on a Single Center Experience. Cohort Study

Bariatric patients represent a peculiar and frail subset of subjects, constantly increasing. During the novel coronavirus disease outbreak, for the lockdown of any non-urgent and non-oncological activity, the access to healthcare services was severely limited, according to the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders.

6 Obesity as a Risk Factor for Mortality of Critically Ill Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): a Cohort Study of the First Wave in Nancy, France

Disproportionate impact of COVID-19 in patients with obesity is now well established. Obesity is associated with severe forms of COVID-19 and may be a risk factor of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Obesity is associated with COVID-19 related hospital death in a large United Kingdom cohort study. However, there is a gap of knowledge on assessment of outcomes such as severity of Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome (ARDS), duration of hospitalisation and mortality in ICU. Moreover, an obesity survival paradox has been observed in patients with ARDS. This raises the question whether the obesity paradox has been broken by COVID-19. The investigators aim to explore risk factors of in-ICU death for patient with COVID-19, including obesity and other chronic diseases and to describe the clinical course and outcomes, including the management of acute respiratory failure and other intensive care management.
