Filter by:The overall objective of this project is to establish for the Republic of Ireland (ROI) a nationally representative database of food consumption in children aged 5-12 years to update 2003-04 data for this group and to complement more recent data on preschool children and adults. The survey will be comparable with existing survey data in ROI and with surveys in UK (GB & NI). The ROI database will be designed to address both nutrition and food safety issues of relevance to the development and implementation of public health policy, food safety risk assessment and to the needs of the food industry. In addition to detailed data on food consumption, data will be also be collected on body weight, lifestyle, including physical activity, determinants of food choice, urine, and composition of foods and food recipes. Food composition databases will be updated and restructured to facilitate future analyses of food ingredients, packaging materials, residues, contaminants, allergens, bioactives and microorganisms. Urine samples will be stored to facilitate future analyses nutrition and metabolic indicators, markers of food intake and for estimating exposure to food chemicals. Data will be analysed to estimate intakes of foods and nutrients and compliance with dietary recommendations, to establish the prevalence of overweight and obesity, to investigate physical activity patterns and compliance with guidelines, to identify psychological, social and attitudinal determinants of food choice and eating behaviour. Salt intake will be estimated from urine excretion. Findings will be disseminated to relevant stakeholders. The project will be carried out by a multi-disciplinary research team with strong linkages to related on-going research in food and health sciences.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is efficacious for anxiety disorders and depression, but not all patients achieve remission, and dropout is considerable. Motivational interviewing (MI) may strengthen motivation to change, and influence non-response and dropout. Research shows that MI as a pretreatment to CBT produces moderate effects compared to CBT alone. Studies integrating MI with CBT (MI-CBT) throughout treatment are scarce. The present study explored the feasibility of MI-CBT in routine psychiatric care, and compared CBT alone to MI-CBT for anxiety disorders, depression, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. The Anxiety, Depression, Diet, Alcohol, Physical activity, and Tobacco (ADDAPT) feasibility study had a randomized controlled design, and data were analyzed using hierarchical regression.
From prospectively collected health and life-style data and anthropometric data in the Malmo Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort identify factors that predicts or are associated with forthcoming fracture in middle-aged men and women.
The incidence of low back pain (LBP) is increasing and prognostic factors for developing LBP are unclear. Based on questionnaires, different prognostic factors are being explored over time.
Atherosclerosis - the main cause of cardiovascular diseases - starts already in childhood. The Tyrolean Early Vascular Ageing-study aims to improve the vascular health of Tyrolean adolescents by a multi-layer intervention program.
The main aim of this study was to examine whether introducing a work intervention into a traditional lifestyle rehabilitation program for persons with BMI above 30, would affect the participants' ability to work and their lifestyle change. The investigators wanted to find out how the participants experienced their health, workability and work capacity, quality of life, diet and self-efficacy before and during the intervention
It is a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled clinical trial, which is designed to enroll newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients with overweight or obesity. The patients are randomized to an intensive diet intervention (intermittent very-low -calorie diet), enhanced physical activity intervention (high-intensity interval training exercise prescription combined with resistance training) or standard education group (diabetes health education only, including lifestyle education and guidance) for 12 weeks. This trial will test the primary hypothesis of whether an intensive lifestyle treatment (diet or physical activity) is more effective than a standard education in glycemic control. The secondary hypotheses are to compare the intensive lifestyle treatment with a standard education on adipose distribution, metabolic parameters, metabolic molecules, Framingham Risk Scores, and quality of life, et al.
This study evaluates if promotion of a normocaloric and balanced diet and of physical activity, through an individual- or group-based lifestyle intervention of 12 months, may affect anthropometric measurements and metabolic profile in obese children.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an intervention directed at promoting parental self-efficacy and skills, based on a positive parenting framework, improves parental competences and healthy practices in families with children aged 2 to 5 years old.
The main aim of this Cohort trial is to get more information about how life style changes affect work participation for people with BMI above 30. The information can contribute to improving the quality of occupational rehabilitation programs in the specialized health care services and for others who work with weight loss programs and work related rehabilitation programs.
