Filter by:Probiotic intervention has been currently suggested to provide supportive benefits in promoting health, including alleviating disease symptoms, protecting against diarrhea and respiratory infection, affecting growth and modulating the immune system by improving the beneficial gut microbiota colonization, giving direction on the gut-lung-axis pathway. This indicates that probiotics may become alternative to improve nutrition and reduce the risk of viral infections which may reduce the risk against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Introduction to probiotics during adolescence can alleviate inflammation and invert dysbiosis. However, evidence on the effect of probiotic supplementation on enhancing antibody response to SARS COV-2 in adolescents is lacking. Moreover, previous studies showed the potential effect of probiotic supplementation to improve overweight and obesity in adolescents. A bi-directional relationship exists among nutrition, infection, and immunity as changes in one element will affect the others. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of dietary modulation of overweight and obese adolescent's gut microbiota through probiotic supplementation combined with healthy eating and physical activity counseling and psychosocial stimulation on nutritional status and antibody response to COVID-19 vaccination. This trial will conduct a 20-week intervention for overweight and obese adolescents.
Low physical activity levels contribute to African American men experiencing health disparities across a number of chronic diseases. Studies have been effective in increasing physical activity levels in African American men; but few have targeted maintenance of behavior change and none have utilized emerging technologies. The purpose of the current study is to further develop a mobile phone application for African American men that will help them initiate and maintain their physical activity levels.
Conduct a quasi-experimental pre-post study of a mindfulness-enhanced, web/app-enabled, scalable Total Worker Health (TWH) program among higher stress Corrections Professionals. The primary outcomes relate to behaviors promoted by the program: being mindful/reduced stress/improved mood; healthier eating; more physical activity; greater restorative sleep; improved work-life balance and greater positive feelings about the organization.
Accidents are an important public health problem due to temporary or permanent disability and deaths. Injuries are among the most important causes of death and lifelong disability between the ages of 5-14. Children at these ages spend long hours at school and are physically very active in school. It is reported that 15% of child accidents occur at school. For this reason, it is important to increase the standard of knowledge of children to improve their behavior towards safety precautions. Purpose of this study is to research the impact of the education that has given towards the health belief model, for the behavior of children about precautions against school accidents. This study is Quasi-experimental study. There will a experiment and a control group in the study. Within the scope of the study, the researcher will train students about school accidents and how to prevent them for 30 minutes a week at the total of 4 weeks. No intervention will be applied to the control group. The scale will be applied to the students, before the training and afterwards to determine the behaviors of students towards safety precautions in school accidents.
The study will test the effectiveness and examine the sustained effects of weekly programming on enhancing (1) lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, dietary intake, use of technology, amount of sleep), (2) self-efficacy, (3) self-esteem, and (4) readiness to change among children ages 8-11 years.
It is adapted and encouraged to a point to improve their quality of intervention for the purpose of the research.
Black Americans in the US fare worse across nearly every health indicator compared to White individuals. In Philadelphia, the location of this study, these health disparities culminate in a stark longevity gap, with average life expectancies in poor, predominantly Black neighborhoods being 20 years lower than in nearby affluent, predominantly White neighborhoods. The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a suite of place-based and financial-wellbeing interventions at the community, organization, and individual/household levels that address the social determinants of racial health disparities. At the community level, the investigators address underinvestment in Black neighborhoods by implementing vacant lot greening, abandoned house remediation, tree planting, and trash cleanup. At the organization level, the investigators partner with community-based financial empowerment providers to develop cross-organizational infrastructure to increase reach and maximize efficiency. At the individual/household levels, the investigators increase access to public benefits, financial counseling and tax preparation services, and emergency cash assistance. The investigators will test this "big push" intervention in 60 Black neighborhood microclusters, with a total of 720 adults. The investigators hypothesize that this "big push" intervention will have significant impact on overall health and wellbeing.
The developed health assistant has the functions of intelligent analysis of health data inside and outside the hospital, health reminder, etc. The advantages of AI health assistant management group compared with conventional management group in terms of comprehensive compliance rate, metabolic index level, hypoglycemia incidence rate was further studied.
The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ) is originally developed in Spanish to evaluate self-perceived barriers for physical activity participation in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SBPAQ into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties.
