Filter by:This project aims to redesign and optimize a deep-structure culturally-tailored healthy eating program and test its effectiveness in improving dietary outcomes, anthropometric, and blood pressure among 75 diverse Latinos, compared to surface-level messages.
The purpose of this study is to verify the accuracy of the 4 blood pressure cuffs with blood pressure monitor device. Cuff circumference is : 15cm-24cm, 20cm-34cm, 30cm-44cm, 22cm-42cm
Dietary nitrate supplementation, often in the form of beetroot juice, has been shown to lower blood pressure and could play a role in preventing or treating hypertension. However, it is currently unclear: a) how reproducible this response is within the same individual on different occasions, and b) whether there are genuine individual differences in the blood pressure lowering effects of dietary nitrate. This study will use a novel replicated cross-over design (2 x nitrate conditions, 2 x placebo conditions) to examine the reproducibility and inter-individual variability in the blood pressure lowering effects of dietary nitrate supplementation.
This study aims to investigate environmental factors that influence people's responses to the Japanese practice of forest bathing in Vancouver, B.C. parks.
This study investigated the effects of two different doses of Crocus Sativus in glucose beverages on glycemic responses.
This study investigated the effects of three doses of spirulina in glucose beverages on postprandial glycemic responses, arterial blood pressure, and subjective satiety.
This study investigated the effects of cookies containing 2.5 g Spirulina on postprandial glycemic and insulin responses.
The accuracy and safety of wrist blood pressure (model: MLY-B10) is evaluated according to the requirement of EN ISO 81060-2:2019/A1:2020.
The proposed project explores the acceptability and health benefits of ready-to-eat (RTE) meals based on the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan. The researchers have developed 14 recipes following the DASH eating plan, which is recommended for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The prepackaged meals will be processed using Washington State University (WSU) microwave technologies to ensure food safety. In this pilot study, a sample of 30 participants will be recruited by to study the impact of the DASH meals on blood pressure. All meals will be provided to participants, who will consume the meals daily over a period of 4 weeks. Daily and weekly monitoring of participants (blood pressure and weight) will allow us to gain a scientific understanding on the preventive power of healthy diets in lowering blood pressure and reducing CVD risk.
Very controlled dietary intervention studies support that individual polyphenol rich foods and isolated polyphenols can increase endothelial function and HDL cholesterol and decrease blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and LDL cholesterol even in healthy subjects. The intake of (-)-epicatechin, the major polyphenol in cocoa, was previously mechanistically linked with acute improvements in endothelial function and nitric oxide availability. A profound understanding of inter- and intra-individual variability of responses in real life are an important area of research in a world that aims at personalized nutrition and medicine. N-of-1 trials are a powerful tool allowing to study small effects even in fewer subjects and help account for intra-individual variations in responses. The overall aim of the present pilot study is to evaluate intra-and inter-individual variability of responses to cocoa flavanols in everyday life using the N-of-1 paradigm. In this pilot study, young healthy humans will monitor blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, heart rate, diet, and physical activity on 8 days using a personal and wearable devices. Each subject will undergo the 8 study days; 4 days with cocoa flavanol capsules (CF; containing 750 mg (1500 mg per day)) and 4 days with calorically matched placebo capsules (P; 0 mg cocoa flavanols) taken at the same time in the morning with breakfast and at night before going to bed. The subjects will be randomized to different treatment allocation sequences to allow blinding of volunteers and investigator; either CF-P-CF-P-CF-P-CF-P or P-CF-P-CF-P-CF-P-CF.
