lamotrigine and Obesity

lamotrigine has been researched along with Obesity in 11 studies

Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

Trial Outcomes

Predicted Annual Rate of Change in 10 Year Risk of Fatal or Nonfatal Heart Attack or Stroke

A modifiable risk component for each cardiovascular risk factor not at optimal goal at the time of each encounter was calculated as the difference between total 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk with the patient's actual values and the goal value. Total modifiable cardiovascular risk was calculated by summing the modifiable cardiovascula risk components across cardiovascular risk factors not at optimal goal at the time of the encounter, and was calculated for each enrolled patient at the index visit and each subsequent encounter during the intervention period. Annual rate of change in modifiable cardiovascular risk was estimated from all patient encounters. A comparison of the difference in model-estimated rate of change in modifiable cardiovascular risk at 12 months post-index tested the primary efficacy hypothesis. (NCT02451670)
