Filter by:American football is a high-contact sport, also known as a collision sport. American football players are exposed to various magnitudes and frequencies of head impacts throughout the season. Accordingly, during the American football season, there is an increase in biomarkers that may be associated with brain damage and the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases later in life. In addition, oxidative stress and inflammation can also increase in athletes during the American football season. This study was planned with the thought that the MIND diet, which is beneficial for brain health with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, may have positive effects on oxidative stress, inflammation and neurodegenerative risk biomarkers in American football players. The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of the MIND diet on oxidative stress, inflammation and neurodegenerative risk biomarkers in American football players. The main question it aims to answer are: • [Question] Does the MIND diet lowers or reduce the levels of oxidative stress, inflammation and neurodegenerative risk biomarkers in American football players? Participants will be randomized into 2 groups MIND diet and control group. The current diet of the players in the control group will not be interfered with during the competition period, but the current nutrition of the players in the MIND diet group will be adapted to the MIND diet according to the food groups in the MIND diet components and their consumption frequencies. The players in the MIND diet group will be asked to include the food groups in the MIND diet in their diet in accordance with their consumption frequency. Researchers will compare the MIND diet and control groups to see if the MIND diet improves oxidative stress, inflammation and neurodegenerative risk biomarkers.
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.
University students account for 50% of the UK young adult population and dietary assessment of this population is crucial in understanding the dietary changes that may occur as they transition to university and adulthood. At this time, many students will leave home for the first time and become responsible for their dietary intake through food shopping and meal preparation. The limited body of evidence in this population group suggests that starting university may be associated with weight gain and the adoption of unhealthful dietary patterns however the extent of these changes may vary based on gender, cooking ability and grocery budget, to name a few. Furthermore, dietary guidance is not typically given to university students although evidence suggests that personalised nutrition advice based on an individual's habitual dietary intake could help to provide the education and support needed for individuals to adopt a healthier diet. This student pilot study will test whether providing university students with eNutri personalised nutrition advice (intervention group) has a differential impact on diet quality in UK university students compared with those who do not receive any advice (control group) after a 4-week intervention period. 50 university students will use eNutri to record their dietary intake before being randomly allocated to the control or intervention group. After 4 weeks, both groups will repeat the eNutri food and drink questionnaire. Those in the intervention group will also be invited to complete a follow-up questionnaire after a further 8 weeks.
Following a heart attack or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure (to 'open up' narrowed blood vessels in the heart), patients are encouraged to join a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programme, which provides health and lifestyle advice to assist recovery and reduce risk of future cardiac events. Whilst NICE recommends that CR should "offer people an individual consultation to discuss diet", access to registered dietitians is limited. Instead, CR patients typically receive general healthy eating guidance. Since approximately 50% of patients decline CR, online tools may improve participation. The University of Reading have developed a web-based application (eNutriCardio) that uses a diet questionnaire to assess the quality ('healthiness') of a user's diet. It provides the user with unique, personalised recommendations of foods to increase/reduce to improve diet quality, which aligns with UK public health dietary advice, and incorporates behaviour change techniques. This pilot study will investigate whether supplementing the usual NHS CR offering with personalised nutrition advice from eNutriCardio (intervention) has a different impact on diet quality and cardiac risk factors (e.g. weight and blood cholesterol) than the CR offering alone (control) after 12 weeks. 82 post-heart attack or PCI patients will provide a dried blood spot sample and record their typical diet using eNutriCardio before being randomly allocated to the control or intervention group. Both groups will be invited to participate in an NHS CR programme, but only intervention participants will receive nutrition advice from eNutriCardio. After 12 weeks, both groups will repeat the diet questionnaire and blood spot sample at home. A follow-up questionnaire will be completed after a further 8 weeks. Participants may also join an optional focus group to discuss their experiences of CR and eNutriCardio. This study is funded by the Health Innovation Partnership, a collaboration between the University of Reading and RBFT.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of DTXO App in improving weight loss and weight-loss maintenance in obese patients exposed to an experimental non-pharmacological treatment program. The App will include a dietary plan and customized advice program, a customized physical exercise program plan, a cognitive- behavioral assessment and support program, alerts and reminders on prescribed drugs intake and on dietary and exercise program, chat and online visits with clinical professionals, and trophies to improve patient engagement.
A French Survey on patients' practices, knowledge and beliefs about diet in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondylarthritis) Use of a questionnaire about what patients have heard concerning diet and rheumatism, what kind of diet they tried eventually and how it affected their health and disease
The proposed randomized controlled trial (RCT) is guided by the RE-AIM (i.e. reach, efficacy, adoption, implementation, maintenance) framework and targets 244 adults from rural Appalachia. The overall goal is to examine the efficacy of iSIPsmarter in a 2 group [iSIPsmarter vs. static Patient Education (PE) website] by 4 assessment (Pre, 3-, 6- and 18-month follow-up) design. It is hypothesized that iSIPsmarter will be more efficacious at reducing SSB consumption than a PE website at post assessment.
With this study, researchers want to conduct ambulatory studies in which people (healthy, with T2D, or at-risk of T2D) will consume a variety of pre-set and conventional meals in free-living conditions while wearing one or more continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and, to assess physical activity, a smart watch. With data from these devices, researchers will develop algorithms that can predict the content of a meal.
The overarching objective is to evaluate the relationship between diet and coronary artery calcification in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). We will recruit adults with HeFH. They will have to complete questionnaires on diet, medication and lifestyle. Coronary artery calcification will be measured in each patient using a CT scan. Physiological and biochemical data will be collected.
People with SCI are at higher risk of obesity and chronic diseases, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, than the general population. Researchers currently lack data on factors that influence weight gain among people with SCI. During this one-year observational study, study staff will enroll 60 individuals with SCI while they are inpatients at Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation (BSWIR). Data will be collected at 3 time periods (before discharge and 6 and 12 months after discharge) in order to better understand factors that affect weight gain over the first 12 months following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, such as nutritional intake, environmental access, psychosocial factors, energy requirements and risk factors for metabolic syndrome. These data will be used to inform future interventions for people with SCI.
