In this day and age, smartphones are occupying big portions of our lives. Expanding development of mobile applications focusing on delivering behavioral health intervention have intrigued us to know better about their efficacy. Hence the present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the Brush DJ app on improving the oral hygiene compliance of patients wearing fixed orthodontic appliances by assessing their gingival status. Null hypothesis: There was no difference in the gingival status and oral hygiene status of patients between verbal oral hygiene instructions and oral hygiene instructions using the Brush DJ app. Research hypothesis: There was a difference in the gingival status and oral hygiene status of patients between verbal oral hygiene instructions and oral hygiene instructions using the Brush DJ app

A parallel intervention was conducted to test the effect of consuming diets enriched with red palm olein (RPOO), extra virgin coconut oil (EVCO) and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO; positive control) in centrally obese individuals over a 12-week period. Following the screening of the subjects' health status, including their biochemical and lipid profiles, the subjects completed a 12-week dietary intervention. Both fasting blood and urine samples were collected at baseline (day 0) and endpoint (week 12); measurements were taken in duplicates. All data collected were blinded to the investigators by an independent third party until the completion of the analysis.

This is a study protocol to test the feasibility of a digital intervention aiming to increase physical activity in overweight and obese adolescents. This study will be conducted in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. The intervention will be provided in two public schools. Another two public schools, which will be matched on the basis of similar socioeconomic background of attending students and curriculum structure, will act as control group. Additional schools may be recruited to fulfil required sample size. A digital behaviour change intervention (FIT-TEENS) will be delivered to overweight and obese adolescents (aged 13-18 years) using an online learning platform (EdApp) over 10 weeks to provide information on physical activity and the behaviour change aspects towards physical activity. The participants who received the intervention will be compared with the control group, where no intervention will be delivered, who will be requested to continue their usual physical activities. To determine the feasibility of the intervention, the researchers will obtain views and overall satisfaction from participants on the intervention and trial, and determine the proportion of participants who completed all intervention modules and outcome measures. In addition to feasibility measures, participants' physical activity behaviour, self-efficacy and social support, as well as body weight and composition will be compared between the two groups. This study will establish whether FIT-TEENS intervention is feasible and acceptable to overweight and obese adolescents in increasing their physical activity behaviour.
