Filter by:Public Health England's (PHE) Behavioural Insights Team are leading and fully funding a randomised controlled research trial in collaboration with Derby City Council's Public Health Team and the Health and Social Care Research Centre at Derby University to test an intervention designed to help families provide healthier packed lunches for Primary School aged children.
This project will examine whether long-term consumption of healthy Nordic foods can maintain a healthy weight also after weight loss, and decrease abdominal fat accumulation and cardiometabolic risk. The study will be performed with the aim to achieve a substantial body weight loss in the first phase by prescribing a standardized low caloric dietary formula. The follow-up phase will be a body weight-maintenance period and the subjects will be randomised to a healthy Nordic diet group and a control diet group. During the study body weight will be monitored and other measurements will include insulin sensitivity, blood lipids and inflammation markers.
An interdisciplinary team with extensive garden study experience conducted a pilot randomized controlled clinical trial to see whether gardening reduced risk factors for diseases like cancer and heart disease. The pilot trial will provide preliminary data on associations between human microbiome, diet, physical activity, and social interactions and the outcomes of weight status and key inflammatory biomarkers.
Given the importance of healthy lifestyle practices to cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and the utility of church-based interventions in African-American adults, the investigators developed a theory-informed, strategically-planned, health and wellness intervention with Rochester, Minnesota (MN) and Twin Cities area (Minneapolis, St. Paul, MN) churches with predominately African-American congregations. The objective of the study was to partner with churches to implement a multi-component, health education program through the use of core educational sessions delivered through a digital-application accessible on demand via interactive access on computer tablets and the Internet. The overarching goal was to increase the awareness and critical importance of healthy lifestyles for CVD prevention and provide support for behavior change.
The present study aimed to determine the effects of negative-calorie diet supplemented with exercise, on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with low-calorie diet with exercise among elderly adult men with abnormal weight gain.
An innovative nutritional application (App) entitled "MyNutriCart" was developed to create a list of foods and beverages to help individuals make smart and healthy choices when purchasing foods at grocery stores based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This App was tested in a pilot trial to evaluate its feasibility, usability, and acceptability for making smart and healthy choices when purchasing food in grocery stores and test its effectiveness in improving food selection, dietary patterns, and weight status compared with the traditional nutritional counseling.
This study will evaluate the effects of diet composition (i.e., amount of protein and carbohydrate) during a 6-month weight loss intervention and 12-months of follow-up on physical function, muscle mass, and weight loss maintenance in obese older adults. Participants will receive either a protein or carbohydrate supplement along with a behavioral weight loss intervention.
This study evaluates the role of dietary L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid, in the activation of a specific cellular component: the aryl hydrocarbon receptor.
The overall aim for this study is to evaluate the clinical effects of a modified diet on metabolic risk factors such as diabetes mellitus and obesity, and the mechanisms this nutrition composition exerts on gastrointestinal physiology, inflammatory responses, and quality of life, where the subjects are their own controls. Within this study, the investigators will be able to relate the nutritional composition to metabolic disorders, the gut microbiota, secreted intestinal neuropeptides, and bio- and inflammatory markers in serum, plasma and urine.
