Filter by:There is objective need to evaluate the differences in dietary intake (DI), body composition (BC), lifestyle (LS) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors between healthy and active vegetarinas (VEG) and non vegetarians (non VEG) and references (according to gender). The aim of this cross-sectional study for investigators is to document the potential differences in DI (non adjusted and adjusted), BC, LS and CVD risk factors between healthy and active VEG and non VEG, aged from 18 to 80 years, and to evaluated correlation between DI variables and CVD risk factors. The study during the COVID-19 pandemic period will be self-reported. As variables the investigators will include the dietary intake, BC (body height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF %)), lifestyle status (physical activity, daily seating, hygiene of sleep, socio-economic status, and motive for practicing chosen diet). The investigators will also record their maximum (lifetime) body weight, lipids (total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides) and blood pressure (BP) status. The investigators hypothesis are: (H1): There are differences in DI and quality of the diet (compared with references). (H2): There are differences in BC between the VEG in non VEG (according to gender). (H3): The are no differences between in CVD risk factors between the VEG and non VEG (according to gender). (H4): The are no differences in the effect of two intervals of time restricted feeding (i.e., 8-12 hours vs. 12-16 hours) within dietary pattern (according to gender).
The goal of the study is to combine a collaborative and translational approach to evaluate the effect antiretroviral regimen switch to a dolutegravir containing regimen compared to continued treatment with a non- dolutegravir based regimen on on lipid and metabolic profiles, renal function, body composition, vascular function and diet.
The objective of this trial was to investigate the effect of educational short message service (SMS), or text messages, on gestational weight gain (GWG) in a low-income population.
The investigators followed a convenience sample of 114 overweight and obese subjects from a weight loss clinic who followed a 24-week dietary intervention. The subjects self-selected whether to follow a standardized ketogenic diet (n=53), or a personalised low-glycemic index (GI) diet utilising information from 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (n=61). After the 24-week study period, the subjects were monitored for an additional 18 months.
This study aims to investigate the potential effects of the administration of hydroxytyrosol, which is an extra virgin olive oil phenolic compound, in doses 15 milligrams and 5 milligrams daily versus placebo for 6 months in anthropometric parameters such as body weight, body fat and visceral fat, in combination with diet, in overweight and obese women.
This study aimed to examine the relation between trunk control and gross motor performance in LBW and NBW infants.
The purpose of this research study is to examine how well an existing weight loss treatment works for individuals with food addiction. Treatment will consist of a preliminary 12-week RCT pilot of the feasibility and effectiveness of behavioral weight loss (BWL) compared to a waitlist control.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether weight loss maintenance can be improved by providing individuals with 4 consecutive weeks of phone coaching during the maintenance period. Individuals who previously achieved and maintained a >=5% weight loss in a 1-year behavioral weight loss program will be provided with a low-intensity maintenance intervention. Some individuals will be selected to receive phone coaching. Assessments of weight, physical activity, and other weight-related behaviors will occur at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year.
The overall purpose of this study is to better understand food reinforcement in infants. The results of this study should help to further our understanding of how individuals relate to food and how an enriched environment can change this behavior.
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.
