Calcium, Dairy, and Body Fat in Adolescents
NCT00592137 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Lifestyle choices,including diet,are conducive to healthy body weights in children. Dairy products and calcium supplementation have been associated with moderation of body weight and body fat. This study was designed to test the following hypotheses with overweight and obese adolescents consuming a controlled diet: * Dietary calcium supplementation as calcium carbonate or dairy calcium modulates energy balance in adolescents. * Increased calcium in the diet of adolescents will increase fecal fat excretion and thereby decrease fat absorption. * Calcium and dairy product supplementation will increase lipid oxidation resulting in an increase in energy expenditure.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00592137
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00592137 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 43 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Purdue University, which has 100 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which C (smoothies based on soy protein containing no additional calcium) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00592137 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Indiana. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
