Filter by:The GHK intervention was developed according to the United Kingdom Medical Research Council's framework for developing and evaluating complex interventions. A pilot- and feasibility study was conducted during December 2022-April 2023, and the intervention was subsequently adapted and adjusted. The GHK main trial is a two-school-year cluster-randomized school- and community trial designed to investigate the effect of the multi-setting, multi-component GHK intervention program on weight development, health and wellbeing in Danish children aged 6-11 years. The trial will include 24 schools in Denmark (12 intervention and 12 control). The primary aim of the cluster-randomized trial is to investigate whether the GHK intervention program can promote healthy body composition as measured by fat mass (FM) in the intervention group compared with the control group. We hypothesize that the intervention will result in less FM gain in the intervention group compared with the control group over the two school-year study period.
The study aims to evaluate the metabolizable energy of the typical American diet with and without the inclusion of fiber. We hypothesize that including fiber in the diet will decrease the metabolizable energy of the diet resulting in more nutrient loss into the feces and urine.
An increase in body fat, even when within the normal BMI range is one of the essential drivers of T2DM in Asian Indians. In this context, the relationship between excess hepatic fat and pancreatic fat appears to be necessary. A low-calorie (high protein and low carb) vegetarian diet with appropriate exercise, in a protocol similar to the DiRECT study, may lead to weight loss, reversal of diabetes, and decrease in ectopic fat.
Diet is an important modifiable risk factor for many chronic diseases, but there is a paucity of dietary data from disadvantaged communities. The last Low Income Diet and Nutrition Survey (LIDNS) was conducted more than a decade ago and disadvantaged communities are known to be under-represented in other national surveys. The aim of the study is to investigate diet and health and factors contributing to dietary choice in a sample of socio-culturally diverse disadvantaged communities using a combination of dietary intake assessment methods, including nutritional biomarkers
This research uses community based participatory research (CBPR) to engage low-income Latinx families in research to pilot test an adapted nutrition education program compared to an existing nutrition education program. The goal of the research is to provide nutrition education on healthy infant feeding to reduce risk for early childhood obesity. The prevalence of obesity in early life remains unacceptably high, especially among low-income children, most are ethnic minorities. Marked ethnic disparities are evident by two years of age, which suggests that existing interventions are not adequate. This project, which focuses on an-at-risk child population, has great potential to address our nation's growing crisis of childhood obesity, which can dramatically improve the health of millions of low-income children, their families, and their future children.
This study investigated the effects of a 2-part dietary consultation on adherence to an anti-inflammatory diet in individuals with neuromuscular disability. The effects on self-efficacy for adhering to the diet as well as neuropathic pain and depression one month post-consult were also determined.
The aim of this study is to develop a tool that can measure the iron, folate, and vitamin B12 content of a diet through a literature review, database search, and a pilot study using a food consumption record. This tool will be used to accurately evaluate the iron, folate, and vitamin B12 content of the diet in non-pregnant women of reproductive age who are not currently pregnant. The research will be conducted on 350 women between the ages of 18 and 50 who are of reproductive age (menstruating). A questionnaire will be administered to the volunteer participants, which will consist of sections on general information, dietary habits, frequency of food consumption, and a 24-hour dietary recall.
Recently, the negative effects of advanced glycation end products on the pathophysiology of some diseases have attracted attention. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of dietary intervention and weight loss on serum advanced glycation and disease pathogenesis in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
The tree that produces the arbutus berry, the strawberry tree, scientific name Arbutus unedo L., belongs to the family of Ericaceae. It exists in almost all of Southern Europe in arid and siliceous lands, in woods and forests and is very common in Portugal. Known for its use in the production of liqueurs and brandy, the arbutus berry is a fruit that can be consumed in nature or incorporated in the preparation of other foods. Arbutus berry has been attributed some properties beneficial to health given its low caloric value and its high content of vitamin C and flavonoids, which is why it is considered a good source of antioxidants. Arbutus has a high carbohydrate content (70-80% dry weight) with a relevant fiber fraction (10-30%), constituting an interesting source of vegetable protein (1-9%) and lipids (2-3%). Given this interesting nutritional composition, the hypothesis is that a daily consumption of this fruit can have an impact in health outcomes such as microbiota modulation and an improvement of metabolic parameters.
The overarching goal of the proposed study is to develop and test an enrichment to Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) using an existing, evidence-based program to improve clients' and their children's cardiovascular health from early pregnancy to 24 months postpartum. With support from NFP supervisors and nurses, the investigators will develop new NFP materials promoting healthy diet, activity, sleep, and smoking behaviors, along with optimal weight, glycemia, lipid, and blood pressure profiles. The investigators will conduct a pilot study with up to 40 NFP clients (or women similar to NFP client population) and their nurses to determine feasibility and acceptability of the materials and study protocol.
