Filter by:To date, no study has shown the effects of diets (normoglucidic or ketogenic) on type I diabetes during physical activity (hiking, ski touring) at altitude. The ketogenic diet in the general population is increasingly studied scientifically, but no clinical trial has studied it in type I diabetic patients during physical activity at altitude. Similarly, no study has investigated the effects of this diet on ketone and blood glucose levels in athletes during physical activity at altitude. Therefore, its impact on blood glucose and ketone levels during exercise at altitude is unknown in healthy and type I diabetic subjects. Since the investigators are studying ketonemia at altitude, and since ketonemia depends on insulin and carbohydrate intake, it is necessary to also study a control group with the same diet, in order to analyse whether the results obtained at altitude are related to the diet alone or to the diet in the context of diabetes. In order to avoid certain biases and confounding factors, the type I diabetic group will be compared to a control group of healthy subjects, in which the subjects have the same diet as the diabetic group. This is a pioneering study, of significant interest because the ketogenic diet is recent and rapidly increasing in interest in diabetic patients, with no scientific data for mountain physical activity. Doctors, diabetologists and sports doctors, are still without data to advise their diabetic patients who wish to follow a ketogenic diet on the benefits/risks of this diet, or to explain to them how to react to physical activity in the mountains.
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 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 goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of double duty interventions on double burden of malnutrition, dietary diversity score, and frequency of morbidity among secondary school adolescents in Debre Berhan City, Ethiopia. The main aim is to answer the following questions. 1. What is the effect of double duty interventions on double burden of malnutrition among secondary school adolescents? 2. What is the effect of double duty interventions on dietary diversity score among secondary school adolescents? 3. What is the effect of double duty interventions on among secondary school adolescents?
The most common cause of acute pancreatitis is gallstones. It is known that diet and obesity play a role in the formation of gallstones. It has been reported that the risk of gallstone formation is two times higher in obese individuals with a body mass index (BMI) >30 than in normal-weight individuals with a BMI between 20-25. The epidemiological literature on the relationship between diet and risk of acute pancreatitis is very limited. In addition, it is often unclear which type (acute, recurrent, or chronic) and subtype (gallstone-related or non-gallstone-related) of acute pancreatitis is studied in studies. Although there are studies in the literature evaluating the relationship between diet and development of gallstones or the development of pancreatitis with diet, studies examining the role of diet in the development of pancreatitis in patients with gallstones are very limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the dietary differences in patients with gallstones who had pancreatitis and those who did not.
CarpeDiem is a mobile application which provides personalized and holistic recommendations in the area of diet, physical activity and sleep to help their users adopt a healthier lifestyle. In this study it is hypothesized that the usage of this application can achieve a more effective lifestyle improvement than an intervention with the use of wearables, their respective generic applications and general healthy lifestyle recommendations. Therefore, this study aims to assess whether the incorporation of a mobile application such as CarpeDiem, which includes smart, personalized and holistic recommendations related to a healthy lifestyle (diet, physical activity and sleep) is associated with a more pronounced change in healthy lifestyle habits than a passive monitoring approach using wearables and the administration of general recommendations. This clinical trial consists of a multicenter pilot study performed at the headquarters of the Technology Center of Catalonia (Eurecat), randomized, parallel and controlled, performed with healthy adults (18 to 65 years old). 100 subjects will be recruited, 50 as an intervention group and 50 as a control group. The study is scheduled to begin in June 2021. Both groups will receive an activity tracker (Fitbit Inspire HR 2). The intervention group will also receive instructions to download and use the CarpeDiem application. Through the CarpeDiem application, participants will be able to answer follow-up questionnaires, perform missions related to the healthy consumption of various food groups, monitor their physical activity and sleep, and receive periodic, personalized and holistic recommendations based on the three pillars of health. The control group will receive instructions to download the Fitbit application and will additionally receive general recommendations for healthy lifestyle habits through standardized documents. Both groups will be provided access to the initial and final questionnaires that will be done online. All participants must return the signed informed consent either with a digital signature or by mail to the Eurecat-Barcelona headquarters. The main variable of the study is: the Mediterranean lifestyle index, calculated from the short MEDLIFE questionnaire with 28 items, validated for the Spanish adult population. The secondary variables are: Diet related: Food intake and food groups taken from the Food Frequency Questionnaire (CFCA). Diet diversity index calculated from the CFCA. Related to physical activity: Total physical activity in MET-minutes / week, extracted from the IPAQ questionnaire. Data referring to daily activity (minutes sitting and moderate and intense physical activity and number of steps taken) measured with the activity bracelet. Sleep-related: Sleep quality index, derived from the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQI). Data referring to users' daily sleep (sleep duration, efficiency, start and end) measured with the activity bracelet. Related to the user's experience in using the application, evaluated through the UEQ questionnaire. Only at the end of the intervention. In total, subjects will receive 3 visits: Visit 0, pre-screening visit before randomization to check inclusion / exclusion criteria, using an online form. Visit 1, after randomization, inclusion visit. Participants will receive the activity bracelet and informed consent at their homes. During this visit, participants will answer the questionnaires using online forms. Visit 2, after three months, final visit of the study intervention. Participants will answer the questionnaires using online forms.
This randomised controlled trial will test the effectiveness of a self-regulation intervention for reducing meat consumption in people who are motivated to change their meat-eating habits.
The "CenTEnari" study is a cross-sectional study aiming at suveying the dietary and lifestyle habits of nonagenarians and centenarianss of citizens of the Abruzzo region, Italy.
In an effort to personalize medical care, novel approaches have been used to categorize sub-populations of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). These are based on biological and genetic variables, allowing identification of clusters with significantly different clinical characteristics and risks of complications that may be more amenable to targeted and precise therapeutic interventions. Increasingly, wearable and other digital health technologies have the potential to capture additional and objective information to support personalized medicine but at present underserved populations have largely been excluded from clinical trials incorporating digital health. With this study, the Investigators aim to build on prior work using specially trained community health workers ("Community Scientists") to support engagement with an underserved population and to encourage adherence to using wearables and other digital health technologies. In the US, this is especially imperative for the Hispanic/Latino population, which is at high risk for T2D and associated complications.
