Filter by: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.
In our study, we used data from 4,758 healthy adults from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys to examine the associations between evidence-based diet quality indices and leukocyte telomere length. Our study assessed the four most widely recognized and commonly used diet quality indices in nutritional epidemiology: the USDA-developed Healthy Eating Index-2010, the Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010, the Mediterranean Diet Score, and the DASH diet score. Analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic and health variables known to influence dietary intake and cellular aging.
Food is widely understood as a cornerstone of health, however multiple barriers stand between well-intentioned, well-informed consumers and the adoption of healthier dietary practices. This mixed-methods randomized controlled trial (RCT) will measure the impact of offering a Community Sustained Agriculture (CSA) share as an employee benefit on household food environments (diets), eating behaviors, and lifestyles.
The purpose of this investigation is to validate a passive image-assisted dietary assessment method using images taken by Sony Smarteyeglass and an automatic image analysis software, DietCam, to identify food items and estimate portion sizes. Participants will be randomized into one of the two orders of meals (Order 1 and 2). In each meal, participants will be given a meal that includes a regular-shaped single food (i.e., cookie), an irregular-shape single food (i.e., ice cream), a regular-shaped mixed food (i.e., sandwich), and irregular-shaped mixed food (i.e., pasta dish).
This study compares the diet quality between U.S.-born and foreign-born non-Hispanic Blacks using pooled NHANES data.
The First 1000 Days (conception to age 2) is a crucial period for the development and prevention of obesity and its adverse consequences in mother-child pairs and their families. The overall aim of the First 1000 Days program is to work across early-life systems to prevent obesity, promote healthy routines and behaviors, address social determinants of health, and reduce health disparities among vulnerable children and families at community health centers in the Boston, MA area. The study aims to simultaneously implement and evaluate an obesity prevention program across early life systems to reduce the prevalence of obesity risk factors within racial/ethnic minority families, close the gap in maternal-child health disparities, and assess and address social determinants of health.
The aim of the Cork and Kerry Study Phase II (Mitchelstown cohort recruited 2010-11) is to provide an updated profile of glucose tolerance status, cardiovascular health and their related factors in an Irish adult general population sample and to compare the findings with those obtained during baseline assessment of Phase I of the Cork and Kerry study (1998) and the rescreen (2008).
The DIETary intake, death and hospitalisation in adults with end-stage kidney disease treated with HaemoDialysis (DIET-HD) study is a multinational prospective cohort study designed to evaluate the association between nutrition and dietary patterns and health outcomes in prevalent adult haemodialysis patients in Europe and South America.
Mindfulness interventions are increasingly offered to undergraduate students at universities world-wide, however the evidence base is very limited. The objective is to evaluate effects of a customized mindfulness intervention (called Mindfulness-Based College) on undergraduate student health. A superiority randomized controlled trial with parallel groups will be performed with 30 participants in each arm. Participants will be randomly assigned to Mindfulness-Based College or health education waitlist control. Investigators will be blinded to treatment allocation. Participants will be assessed at baseline, 10 weeks, and six months. The primary outcome is a college health summary score, including seven evidence-based determinants of health particularly relevant to college student well-being: body mass index, physical activity, diet, alcohol consumption, sleep quantity, perceived stress, and loneliness. Primary intention-to-treat analyses will evaluate whether MB-College vs. control is associated with the summary score, utilizing generalized linear models. Secondary analyses will evaluate which, if any, of the seven determinants of health are driving associations.
This study aims to understand the interaction between school recess activity and duration and lunch choices among elementary school children
