Filter by:The AKK formula, a prebiotic blend, can effectively promote the proliferation of A. muciniphila. In this study, we attempt to explore the clinical efficacy of AKK formula for A. muciniphila proliferation and weight management.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate differences in attained BMI and the proportion of overweight/obesity at school entrance in children who attended kindergartens actively delivering a community-based health promotion and obesity prevention intervention compared to children who attended usual care kindergartens. Further questions it aims to answer are: - Explore the prevalence of attainted overweight/obesity in children at six years of age, who attended kindergartens delivering intervention compared with usual care kindergartens. - Explore the development of obesity, overweight and normal weight in children from three-, four- to six years of age, who attended kindergartens delivering intervention.
This study was undertaken to explore the effects of a Thermogenic Composition (TC) composed of dihydrocapsiate, red pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruit extract, citrus (Citrus spp) peel extract, coleus (Coleus forskholi) root extract, and african mango (Irvingia gabonensis) seed extract to support body composition, weight management, and improve parameters related to energy, hunger, and satiety on healthy adult women and men over a 12-week interval.
The study involved 30 regular exercisers and 33 non-exercisers. Food records were collected five times: before the holiday season, before Ramadan, during Ramadan, during Ramadan Feast, and after Ramadan Feast, including the Eid al-Adha period. Anthropometric measurements were taken before and after holidays: initially before Ramadan and again after Eid al-Adha. Physical activity was recorded for both groups: once before Ramadan for non-exercisers and twice (on exercise and rest days) for exercisers.
Dietary protein has been shown to be important to support physical training. For occupational demands such as military training, new recruits often fail to meet the recommended protein intake during basic training (BT), with negligible amounts consumed in the evening. As such, individuals undertaking BT may require higher intakes than the general population.This study assessed the influence of a daily bolus of protein prior to sleep on performance adaptations, body composition and recovery in British Army recruits.
This study would recruit about 50 healthy adult women and randomly divide the participants into two groups for a ten-week crossover intervention study. The investigators aimed to observe the impact of daily feeding/fasting time on clinical metabolic biomarkers.
Hypothesis: Kiwifruit contains antioxidants and serotonin which may be beneficial in the treatment of sleep disruption. Aim: to assess the effects of daily intake of kiwifruit on sleep quality, fatigue, and BMI among Saudi adults with poor sleep quality. Methods: Twenty-six female participants (14 cases, and 12 controls) were included. All participants were aged ≥18 years and were Saudi and had poor sleep quality. Pregnant, lactating and participants with any chronic diseases such as cardiovascular or neurological diseases, and history of using herbal or medications for inducing sleep for the last two months were excluded. Participants in the case group consumed 2 kiwifruits 1 hour before bedtime nightly for 6 weeks and the control group did not consume kiwifruit. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire was used to assess sleep quality before and after kiwi consumption (score ≥ 5 indicates poor sleep quality), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) was used to assess fatigue and anthropometrics were measured based on the WHO guidelines. After 6 weeks, sleep quality, fatigue and BMI were compared between cases and controls. Kiwifruit consumption may improve sleep quality in adults with self-reported poor sleep quality. Further investigation of the sleep promoting properties of kiwifruit is required.
This study aims to examine consumer responses to traditional and counter-marketing messages discouraging sugary drink consumption, including effects on intentions to consume sugary drinks and perceived weight stigma. Because prior research has suggested that counter-marketing may be especially effective among younger populations, the investigators will examine effects overall and by age group (young adults [ages 18-29 years] vs. middle and older adults [ages 30+ years]).
STUDY TITLE: Effect of olive oil massage on growth of preterm low birth weight neonate: A randomized controlled clinical trial." SUMMARY: Preterm low birth weight (LBW) babies have more the risk of the neurological complications, physiological problems and mental retardation. Topical massage with natural oil is routinely practiced in some country. The positive effects of massage are weight gain, improved sleep/wake pattern, decreased the stress, early discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), improve the skin integrity and enhanced parent's infant bonding. This randomized control trial study will be conducted in the Department of Neonatology,Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University(BSMMU) and post natal ward of Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with the aim to assess the effect of olive oil message on growth in low birth weight neonate. In this study tolal 50 inborn low birth weight neonate will be enrolled. Out of which 25 will be in intervention group and 25 will be in control group. In the intervention group, mothers will be encouraged to massage their babies with 10 ml of olive oil for 15 min, twice a day until 10 days of life. Those allocated to the control group were received care as usual. Weight and head circumference was measured at enrolment, after 10 days and on 30 days of age in both the groups. Comparisons between groups for categorical variables will be performed using the χ2-test. Student's t-test will be used to compare two groups for normally distributed quantitative data. The difference will be considered significant for P < 0.05.
The aim of this study is To determine the effectiveness of smartphone application for weight loss in healthy female adults. To determine the association between fitness application usage and physical activity behavior of the healthy female adults.
