Filter by:The aim of this cluster randomized control trial is to test the efficacy of providing experience of a target novel vegetable within the context of an interactive story time to increase intake of the target novel vegetable in preschool aged children (aged 2-5 years).
Dietary supplements are an important contributor to overall nutrient exposures for a large proportion of the U.S. population. Currently no standardized method exists to measure their use and contribution to total nutrient intakes, substantially limiting the rigor and reproducibility of their measurement. The purpose of this proposed project is to develop a standardized, data-driven, and valid metric that can be to measure use of and nutrient exposures from dietary supplements for use in research, clinical, and monitoring settings.
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of an individually tailored lifestyle feedback letter and a leaflet on lifestyle in the context of sigmoidoscopy screening.
This study is built upon the existing data in the Children's Health Study to examine the longitudinal association between childhood exposure to air pollutants and changes in diet among adolescents.
The objective of this cross-sectional study was to characterize the dietary intake of SNAP participants and nonparticipants by food source, including grocery stores, sit-down restaurants, and fast food.
Osteoporotic fractures, as a consequence of a reduced mineral bone density (BMD) represents a major public health problem. The lifetime risk of fractures exceeds 40% for women and 13% for men. At least ten different individual characteristics have already been proposed, evaluated, and some of them accepted as risk factors. Some of those risk factors were compiled in a tool developed by the World Health Organization in order to predict the ten-risk for a new fracture, even without considering BMD in that prediction . Increased consumption of carbonated soft drinks has been reported to have associations to a lower bone mineral density and an increment in bone fractures among young and also elder subjects. However, some prospective studies have not found any significant associations and others suggested that risk is only increased for some kinds of beverages, like cola beverages, but not to the entire universe of soft drinks. In this sense, a large prospective analysis performed on 1413 women and 1125 men from the Framingham Offspring Cohort, analyzed- the relation between soft drinks consumption and BMD at the spine and 3 hip sites. Cola intake was associated with significantly lower BMD at each hip site, but not the spine, in women but not in men. Similar results were observed for diet cola and, although weaker, for decaffeinated cola. No significant relations between non-cola carbonated beverage consumption and BMD were observed. In spite of the fact that reduced bone mineral density and osteoporotic fractures represent an increasing burden of disease and disability in postmenopausal women, most of the studies performed in this population used BMD as primary outcome, and not common osteoporotic fractures (e.g. hip, spine or wrist). Therefore, there is no conclusive evidence of a potential causal association between soft drinks (cola and non-cola) and fractures in a population in which osteoporotic fractures hold the highest incidence. This research proposal is based on using the Women Health Initiative data to analyze the relation between cola and non-cola soft drinks consumption on common osteoporotic fractures. BMD will be considered a secondary outcome.
The purpose of the study is see how well two dietary intake questionnaires, blood values, and urine samples can estimate what participants are eating and drinking. Specifically, the investigators are looking at the validity of a new artificial sweetener food frequency questionnaire and a urinary biomarker for artificial sweetener consumption. Additionally, the investigators are examining the ability of a rapid beverage intake questionnaire (BEVQ-15) to determine Healthy Beverage Index scores.
The QUebec Adipose and Lifestyle InvesTigation in Youth (QUALITY) Cohort study is a unique and comprehensive longitudinal study of 630 Caucasian children and their parents that was designed to investigate the natural history and determinants of childhood obesity and its cardiometabolic consequences.
Gestational diabetes (GDM) complicates about 20% of pregnancies in Singapore. These women are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes years after pregnancy; seven times more likely than normal. Achieving a healthy weight post-delivery is key to reduce the risk of future diabetes. This study, from a multidisciplinary team, intends to create a unique seamless care model to restore optimal weight post-delivery in women with recent GDM. The innovation examined in this randomized control trial is an INTERACTIVE SMARTPHONE APP. The APP monitors weight, dietary habits, and exercise activity patterns, gives feedback, and provides practical personalized lifestyle coaching that is culturally appropriate and customized to the Singapore context. If efficacy is confirmed in this RCT, the APP can be easily scaled up as a cost-effective way to potentially prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in Singaporean women. Additionally, measurement of markers of cardiometabolic risk will give indications on future cardiovascular health, utilizing an underused opportunity to improve women's health.
This study aims to study the relationship between diet and cognitive function among 4-5-year-olds.
