The overall goal is to increase the knowledge that can be used for the development of food products with antidiabetic properties, with the aim of facilitating healthier food choices for people. More specifically, the primary aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of different varieties of quinoa on postprandial glucose tolerance and subjective appetite markers. The crossover, randomised dietary intervention study will be conducted in healthy adults.
This small scale healthy eating study provides Southeast Asian families with children ages 6 to 11 with a family-based nutrition education, one-on-one interviews to help with motivation to eat health, text messaging, and coupons to purchase health foods and beverages. Since this is a small scale study that is a pilot intervention, the main goal of this intervention is to determine if it is feasible, meaning, can it be done. The second goal of this intervention is to determine if there are meaningful improvements in children's healthy eating patterns, body mass index and HbA1c. The third goal is to see if the intervention improves parent's diet quality, HbA1c and the home food environment. These study findings will be used to determine whether a larger clinical trial is needed, and if so, how it should be done.
It is already known that lifestyle is closely related to human health, disease formation, learning and work efficiency. Although there have been relevant researches on lifestyle, there is no research on the current situation of college students' lifestyle and its correlation with their studies; In addition, how to effectively and scientifically intervene unhealthy lifestyles and observe the sustainability of the intervention effect has not been reported. Therefore, this research takes the students in Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the research object to carry out a survey, understand the current situation of their lifestyle, analyze the influence of gender, major, grade and education on their lifestyle, and explore the correlation between lifestyle and academic performance; And then the targeted intervention is to be carried out against the unhealthy lifestyle factors in order to observe the intervention effect and its sustainability
Childhood obesity is a major public health concern worldwide and parents play a powerful role in children's eating behaviour. Most prior studies analysed parents and children's diet almost exclusively by evaluating food composition (i.e. calorie, macro- and micronutrient contents), with no or little attention paid to degree of food processing. The NOVA classification was proposed as a novel way to look at foods based on the degree of processing of foods rather than on their nutritional composition, postulating that processing may be as relevant to health as food composition. The term ultra-processed food (UPF) indicates industrially manufactured ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat formulations made mostly or entirely from substances extracted from foods or derived from food constituents often containing added flavours, colours, emulsifiers and other cosmetic additives. Most importantly, these industrial formulations are designed to maximize palatability and consumption through a combination of calorie-dense ingredients and chemical additives. Robust and well-conducted cohort studies worldwide found that a large dietary share of UPF is associated with shorter survival and an increased risk of non-communicable diseases. Given the rising popularity of UPF globally, and also in Mediterranean countries, the issue of food processing should be prioritized in relevant dietary recommendations with emphasis on consumption of minimally/unprocessed foods.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that a dietary supplementation with a novel prebiotic combination is safe, well tolerated and able to improve overall health of toddlers.
Native Americans (NAs) have limited access to healthy food and a high prevalence of diet-related diseases. This study will implement an agricultural and health education program in which NA residents of Osage Nation will receive a weekly share of healthy fresh produce coupled with healthy recipes and cooking materials. The program's effect on diet and health outcomes and it's cost-effectiveness will be evaluated, and study processes and findings will be broadly disseminated to support tribes in improving diet and health.
The aim of this study is to evaluate how variations in maternal nutrition may affect twin pregnancy and in particular: - incidence of maternal obstetric complications: - gestational diabetes - gestational hypertension or preeclampsia - intrahepatic cholestasis (ICP) - fetal growth, development and birth weight of the babies
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the MEtabolic Syndrome REduction in NAvarra (RESMENA) diet versus a control diet based on American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for the treatment of PCOS in adolescents with obesity and PCOS. A total of 40 adolescents diagnosed with PCOS between the ages of 13-18 years were randomized to either a Resmena or control diet for 6 months. Dietary status, anthropometry, body composition, biochemical parameters, and reproductive endocrine hormones were compared between the 2 groups before and after the intervention.
In a context where meat consumption should be dramatically reduced in western countries to improve both population and planet health, the "Eat Less Meat" one-month challenge is a new behavioural intervention that aims (i) to weaken meat consumption habit and (ii) to enhance intrinsic motivation to eat less meat to trigger long-term reduction in meat consumption. The present study focusses on the quantitative evaluation of the effect of this challenge on French university student's meat consumption. Parallel two-arm randomized controlled trial with repeated measures (online questionnaires) pre-, during- and post-intervention. All the participants will be recruited to take part in the "Eat Less Meat" challenge for one month. Participants in the control group will take part in the challenge 4 months after the participants in the intervention group. Participants in both groups will complete the online questionnaires at the exact same time, i.e., pre-, during- and post-intervention measures will take place before the control group starts the challenge.
