To assess the validity of a piezo-capacitive accelerometer to predict energy expenditure related to sedentary physical activity. Secondary objective: To compare physical activity as performed in an respiration chamber with physical activity as…
1. To perform for each subtheme baseline assessments of several health-associated aspects of ageing: prevalences of (age-related) diseases, prevalences of risk factors and secondary health effects 2. To assess mutual relationships between the…
Primary Objective: To assess the differences between lean and obese subjects in tissue PYY and GLP-1 levels and gene activity, and in L-cellular secretion before and directly after nutrient exposure. Secondary Objective: To correlate these…
The primary objective is twofold; first to get information on the between subject variation in gastric emptying to make between group comparisons (young adults vs. elderly). Second, to obtain information on the within subject variation of gastric…

Aim of the study is to answer the following questions:What is the influence of drinking different kinds of volumes on energy expenditure?What is the influence of drinking solutions with different osmolarities on the energy expenditure?Are changes in…
In this study we will be looking at specific proteins and their effects on the secretion of satiety hormones in the small intestine
To understand the interrelations between muscle related parameters (muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance), energy expenditure (actual physical activity and basal metabolic rate), and nutritional status (energy intake and protein status…
With the current study we aim to assess early brain responses to different food cues (odours and pictures) and we want to determine how these responses are affected by ad libitum intake of product with a specific flavor (sweet/savoury). We expect to…
In this pilot-study we investigate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of IRE in locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma. We hypothesize that IRE of the pancreas is a safe treatment that will cause few complications. Moreover, we expect the treatment…
The primary objective is to assess changes in endocannabinoid plasma levels prior, during and after eating of hedonically liked versus non-pleasurable foods.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the equivalence accuracy of energy expenditure and resting heart rate measurement of newly developed software in reference to currently approved software. Secondary objective is to asses the…
This study will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the EndoBarrier device for the treatment of obesity 3 years after surgery.
The primary objective is to investigate the acute effect of five different breakfast test products (breakfast cereals or bread or traditional) on satiety scores (feelings of hunger, fullness, satiety, desire to eat, prospective food consumption). -…
To determine appetite responses to different odors (signalling different food products), measured by appetite questionnaires, a food preference task, saliva production and food intake
Primary objective:The purpose of this study is to investigate what the changes in weight are after dietary treatment, according to the guideline 'Malnutrition in geriatric patients' in subgroups malnourished geriatric outpatients.…
The overall aim is to study the effects of a lifestyle intervention for young women who are pregnant <= 12 weeks of gestational age and have a high risk on perinatal morbidity because of prepregnancy overweight or obesity and, if applicable,…
