简要总结
Pneumococcal infections are a leading cause of adult and childhood hospitalization and death. It has been shown that obese individuals are at higher risk for this bacterial infection. As a result, investigators will vaccinate obese individuals to see if they are offered the same level of protection from the vaccine as normal-weight individuals. The vaccine used for this particular bacterial infection is called Pneumovax 23.
The purpose of this study is to compare how body mass index affects protection that the vaccine provides against these bacteria.
Primary Hypothesis: Levels of protection from the vaccine are no different in pre- and post- vaccination in healthy BMI individuals and obese individuals.
详细描述
Study Participants: For this study, the investigators will recruit 56 participants separated into two groups. Group 1 will enroll 23 individuals with a BMI between 22 and 25. Group 2 will enroll 23 obese individuals. Study participants will be between the ages of 18-35 and in good health.
Pre-Screening: Basic eligibility will first be determined by phone or through a questionnaire. The investigators will acquire weight and height information to calculate BMI, as well as ask about any chronic health problems. At the end of the pre-screening, an email address will be requested in order to email a copy of the consent form for the participant to review before the first visit, during which the consent form will be reviewed with the participant and any questions addressed. A cell phone number will also be requested to text participant reminders the night before their appointments (visit 1 and visit 2). If the participant declines a reminder text, a reminder phone call will be set-up.
Screening: During the in-person screening, the investigators will ask several questions. Participants with chronic health problems (significant vascular disease, hepatitis, renal disease, diabetes, immunodeficiency) will be excluded. Individuals already immunized with Pneumovax23 or Prevnar (another vaccine that protects against pneumococcal infection) will also be excluded. A pregnancy test will be given to females to exclude pregnant individuals. An HbA1C (finger prick to get a drop of blood) will also be performed to exclude participants with high blood sugar levels. Physical exams will be performed and vitals will be taken on participants who pass the initial screening to help assess health.
Questionnaires will also be given at the first visit to assess stress, which has been shown to affect the ability to protect against infection.
Study Visits: All participants will receive a Pneumovax 23 vaccine, questionnaires, physical exams, and undergo 2 blood draws.
