Filter by:Participants will be chosen through an initial sensory test to find high and low-perceivers of astringency. Selected participants will drink a chocolate milk or milk substitute beverage for one week each with washout weeks in between. At the end of each week participants will taste and rate multiple beverages for their astringency and other sensory properties. Participants will provide saliva samples weekly for proteomic analysis and (potentially) analysis of polyphenols. Participants will also be asked to provide a 24 hour dietary recall once per week. Data will be analyzed to determine if there is a relationship between polyphenol exposure, astringency ratings, and salivary protein composition.
During the last update of the French FBDG, a survey with a representative sample of dieticians investigated 1) how to communicate portion sizes and 2) the most relevant time frame when delivering dietary guidelines. The objective was to determine how to express portion sizes and time frame for Food Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG) using the feedback of dietitians. Data were obtained from an internet-based survey of 441 French dieticians (collected from November 24, 2013 through January 2, 2014).
Many provinces in Indonesia have some well known traditional foods that are widely consumed, but it remains unknown whether traditional ethnic dietary patterns can confirm healthy diets. High quality diet is associated with reduced risk of metabolic diseases and modulated gut microbiota. Moreover, the relationship between dietary quality and microbiota, a potential mediator of metabolic disease, has not been studied.
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.
