Filter by:This study is being done to test whether a HealthReel computer vision-based software application can estimate body fat percentage with equivalent accuracy to a whole body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a community-delivered physical activity program for fathers and their children ages 2-5 years.
The purpose of this study is to ensure effective health management among community-living older adults during unprecedented times, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Background: as treatment of choice in promoting psychological flexibility, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was found to be effective in several conditions, and among different populations, including weight management in individuals with obesity. However, the mechanism of action of psychological flexibility is less known. The aim of the present study is, within the context of a brief ACT intervention for behavioral change and behavioral maintenance of a healthy lifestyle in a sample of inpatients with obesity, to explore the effect of each subcomponent of the psychological flexibility model on treatment processes and outcomes. Methods: a randomized controlled trial will be conducted. 90 Italian adult inpatients with obesity attending a rehabilitation program for weight loss will be randomly allocated into three experimental conditions targeting respectively each subcomponent of the psychological flexibility model: group Engage focused on values-oriented behaviors, group Openness focused on acceptance and cognitive defusion, and group Awareness focused on being present and aware of thought, feelings, and behaviors at every moment. Weight, BMI (Kg/m2), the Psychological General Well Being Inventory (PGWBI), the Outcome Questionnaire-45.2 (OQ-45.2), the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Difficulties in Emotion regulation scale (DERS) the Dutch eating Behaviors Questionnaire (DEBQ), the Brief Values Inventory (BVI), the Committed Action Questionnaire (CAQ), the Italian-Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (I-CFQ), and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ II) will be assessed at the beginning (Time 0), at the end of psychological intervention (Time 1), after 3 (Time 2) and 6 months (Time 3) and 9 months (Time 4) from discharge. During the following month after discharge, outpatients will be monitored in their adherence to a healthy lifestyle, using a wearable device. To assess the effectiveness of intervention, mixed between-withing 3 (conditions) x 4 (times) repeated measure ANOVAs will be conducted to examine changes from time 0 to time 1, 2, 3 and 4 in means of weight, BMI, and means scores PGWBI, OQ-45.2, DASS; DERS; DEBQ, AAQ-II, BVI, CAQ, I-CFQ, and FFMQ, between three groups Discussion: This study will contribute to clarify the mechanism of action of each subcomponent of the psychological flexibility model and understand its impact on the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.
This study investigates the association of genetic effects of rs7903146 and dietary intake on type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) risk in a healthy population. T2DM risk was assessed through glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentration in 73 subjects. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).
The MDL-SHPVP will be developed and a clustered randomised controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effects of the MDL-SHPVP and to examine whether the effect of the MDL-SHPVP on the rate of HPV vaccine uptake 1 year after intervention is mediated by parents'/guardians' and female adolescents' HPV knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, adolescents' intention to receive HPV vaccination and vaccine acceptance among their parents/guardians.
This study will examine the feasibility of implementing a virtual bilingual health-focused family literacy program.
Time processing involves different abilities - i.e. estimating the duration of an event and moving in past and future time - and it is a fundamental ability in everyday life. For these reasons the assessment and the rehabilitation of time deficits in brain damaged patients is extremely important. The ability to estimate and reproduce time processing is usually evaluated using computerized tasks and it is influenced by aging: young participants overestimate and elderly participants underestimate time durations. Virtual Reality is an ecological approach that has recently been used for the assessment of cognitive deficits. Here we use Virtual Reality to study the ability to estimate time duration of an action execution and perception in a simulated everyday activity.
This research study examines the unique cultural and gender-based factors that influence how midlife Black women experience stress and incorporate healthy lifestyle behaviors into daily life. The B-SWELL intervention uses stress reduction and goal setting to increase self efficacy in adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors. The B-SWELL intervention will be compared to an inattention control wellness group in a randomized control trial. The long-term outcome is to decrease cardiovascular disease risk in this high-risk population, midlife Black women.
The COPE Trial is a randomized controlled trial that will provide currently isolated yet generally physically healthy 18-64 year old adults who are pre-retirement with the opportunity to receive a free 3-month subscription to either a yoga or moderate-to-high intensity aerobic exercise app or be randomized to a waitlist control group. Study outcomes include measures of psychological wellbeing and physical health.
