ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how health education and motivational support can help young women at Northern Border University in Saudi Arabia adopt healthier lifestyles and improve their body health. Specifically, it targets female undergraduate students aged 18 to 24 who have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25, which means they are considered overweight or obese. The study aims to address the rising rates of obesity and physical inactivity among young women in Saudi Arabia, who often lack knowledge about healthy eating and exercise.

If you are a female student at this university, between the ages of 18 and 24, and meet the BMI criteria, you might be eligible to participate. Participants can expect to receive helpful information about nutrition and physical activity, along with encouragement to make positive lifestyle changes. It’s important to note that pregnant students or those with certain medical conditions that limit physical activity will not be able to join the study. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so it could be a great opportunity for those looking to improve their health while contributing to important research.
