Preventing neurogenic obesity following spinal cord injury
About the trial
Abstract
In the present three-part started-up PhD-study, we use MRI techniques to quantify accumulation of adipose tissue in a cohort study the first year after SCI, test the efficacy of a nutrition intervention to prevent obesity in a randomized controlled trial, and finally, we will test the feasibility of guided online-support to promote a healthy lifestyle after discharge from in-patient rehabilitation.
