Filter by:Physical inactivity has reached pandemic proportions and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Of particular concern is that most middle to older age adults fall far short of recommendations for health enhancing physical activities. This research takes a novel approach to tackling this problem by combining mindfulness with behavioral strategies in a unique 'Mindful Movement' program offered collaboratively with the YMCA.
The study is a epidemiological, cross-sectional study in a mainly rural area of Denmark in Denmark. Life expectancy is shorter, morbidity is higher, and social problems more prevalent than in the urban areas of the country. The population study aims at examining complexities of environmental, hereditary, lifestyle, and social factors as determinants and predisposing factors for morbidity, health, and quality of life. The study will cover physical, mental, and social dimensions and examine family patterns and subgroups. The study will provide baseline information for later follow-up.
The investigators will test the value of an internet self-help package (E-Couch) for alleviating social anxiety symptoms in the general population. The investigators will undertake a trial of about 2000 participants to compare the effect of the E-Couch intervention compared to a wait-list control condition. Over a period of 12 months the investigators will measure the effect of using E-Couch self-help on social anxiety symptoms, as well as on mental wellbeing, and other secondary outcomes including quality of life, depression and general anxiety, and their use of other sources of help.
Nowadays, it is common to ingest beverages other than plain water, which range from flavored with a low energy input to others of high input. In Mexico, flavored beverage ingestion is believed to be displacing plain water; this phenomenon is raising concern in the health sector, due to the relation between flavored beverage intake and the increase in obesity and, consequently, chronic diseases. Up until now, there is no instrument available to characterize the perception of the Mexican population's well-being, beliefs and knowledge regarding plain water ingestion, nor is there an instrument capable of quantifying the daily water ingestion. The purpose of this study is design and validate a questionnaire to identify and evaluate the perception of well-being (PWBQ) related to plain water consumption in a sample of adult men and women of the city of Cuernavaca.
