Study Consortium for Evaluation of RNPC Program in Obese and Overweight Patients (SCOOP-RNPC)

Assessment of the Impact of Short, Medium and Long-term Weight Loss, Obtained by a Standardized Nutritional and Psycho-Behavioral Rehabilitation Program (RNPC Program) and in Real Life Conditions, in Obese or Overweight Patients

The investigators hypothesize that weight loss obtained with the French RNPC weight reduction program is beneficial for the general health of overweight/obese patients in the medium term.

The objective of this cohort study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the RNPC program on the reduction of drug or instrumental treatments (for example, continuous positive pressure ventilation for the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome) and the improvement of overweight/obesity-associated comorbidities in the medium term.

This is a multicenter clinical study, as part of routine care, with standardized nutritional care (RNPC Program) in all RNPC centers in France. A cohort will be formed based on the clinical and biological data usually collected in the centers, enriched by data from additional clinical and biological examinations as well as by self-questionnaires completed by the participants. About 10,000 overweight or obese participants will be included for 2 years and followed 5 years.

The SCOOP-RNPC study will have benefits for individual participants, for the scientific community in terms of knowledge acquired and for society with a better definition of the impact of treatments.

Responding to the major public health issue represented by overweight, this prospective cohort of overweight or obese patients will make it possible to evaluate, in real-life conditions, the effects of weight loss obtained by the RNPC Program in the short, medium and long term on biological parameters predictive of cardiometabolic risk, drug consumption, quality of life, diet and eating behavior, sleep, physical activity, stress/anxiety, as well as depression.

This cohort will make it possible to identify clinical phenotypes and biomarkers to optimize the personalization of the management of overweight or obese patients, in particular those at risk of developing comorbidities associated with excess weight.
