Filter by:Fiber as part of the plants can be provided through eating grains, fruits and vegetables. As source of fiber, exclusively breastfed infants do not need additional dietary fiber because breast-milk provides oligosaccharides to maintain the bulk for normal gastrointestinal movements together with gut probiotics. However, after the period of six months of exclusive breastfeeding, then complementary foods are the initial sources of fiber of children aged 6-59 months diet, e.g. cereals, fruits and legumes should then be introduced. However, investigators should consider on the effect of plant foods as a non-haem iron food source that is less bioavailable for iron absorption. There are other dietary factors that inhibit iron bioavailability, i.e. phytates in grains and rice, vegetables protein, calcium and phosphorus in cow's milk and cheese. iron deficiency is remained common globally, especially for children age 6-24 month in which it can developing into a severe condition, i.e. iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency as well as anemia is closely related to delay child growth and development, negatively associated with height-for-age, and anemia are at risk for poorer cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and neurophysiologic development in the short- and long-term outcome. The aim of this study is to see the association between fiber intake from different type of milk consumption sources and dietary habits to gastrointestinal health, anemia and growth status among children aged 6-36 months.
Infants and young children have high nutritional demands in order to support adequate growth and development, particularly during the transition from complementary feeding at 12 months of age to a mixed and varied diet at 36 months of age. Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 LC-PUFA) such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) is the important constituents of the maturing brain, especially for visual and cognitive development. However only certain foods, such as fatty fish, contain n-3 LC-PUFA at concentrations sufficient for their needs. Additionally, these foods that are known to be rich in DHA may not be regularly provided to infants and toddlers due to concerns about potential food allergies or methylmercury exposure. Although the importance of consuming n-3 LC-PUFA and essential fatty acids at the level of dietary recommendations in late infancy and early childhood (6-24 months) are highlighted, the current median n-3 LC-PUFA and estimated DHA intakes in toddlers in most countries are lower than the recommended levels. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommend that infants and young children (< 24 months) should consume 100 mg of DHA per day, while for older children (2-18 years), they recommend a daily intake of 250 mg. In order to bridge the gap between the current intake and recommended levels of n-3 LC-PUFA, general foods, especially infant and toddler formulas, should be enriched with n-3 LC-PUFA particularly DHA. With a growing body of research, the challenge is to find an ideal formula that is nutritionally balanced and human milk-like, especially with respect to the ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids and DHA level. In adding DHA into the toddler formula, there are several methods, among others are in the form of wet mix and dry blending. The aim of this study is to compare the bioavailability of different methods of adding DHA (dry blend versus wet mix) into formulas in healthy Indonesian toddlers age 2-3 years old for a period of one month. Furthermore, to evaluate the stability of milk-based formulas that are supplemented with DHA under same storage conditions, so as to monitor the stability of infant formula.
Pilot study of a soft, flexible hydration sensor
To assess the safety of MG1111 and to evaluate immunological non-inferiority of MG1111 versus comparator
Evaluation of the learning and encouragement effect on six minutes walking test in children under 12 years
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a daily executive training to cognitive inhibition, working memory or mindfulness as compared to an active control condition has a near- and far-transfer impact on brain and behavioral measures as collected in children aged 9-10 years, either born preterm or full-term.
Through an online survey, participants will be shown different visual presentations of vaccination data related to schools and child care centers. Participants will rate how important this information is when thinking about their child's health and school choice. Participants will also be asked survey questions about their knowledge of Colorado state vaccination legislation, their opinions and practices related to childhood vaccinations, and their views of a Zika virus vaccine.
This study is designed to evaluate cognitive function in preadolescents who have different body mass indexes.
The primary objective of this trial is to identify how much protein is required at breakfast to promote positive whole body protein balance over the following 9h period.
The ocular surface may be the seat of an inflammatory process in many pathology as vernal keratoconjunctivitis. It has been shown that inflammatory cytokines produced by the cells themselves and the constituent cells of the target organ, are the main factors that cause inflammation. The main objective of our study was to compare the concentration of 40 cytokines in vernal keratoconjunctivitis and in control subjects.
