Filter by:This study is a cross-sectional epidemiological, observational study. It would be carried out in primary health care sites. The purpose of this study is estimating the percentage of patients aged 60 years or older who suffer from a condition, or take medication, associated with a low or sodium-free diet in primary care consultations. This is a cross-sectional epidemiological study of data collection without medication. Participants data will be collected after obtaining their confirmation through an Informed Consent From. No medication will be given to patients.
The aim of the project is to study the influence of biostimulate crops on a healthy population in order to assess influence on hematological parameters and specific metabolism (glucose, lipid, iron, bone) and gut and lipid hormones. Secondary outcome will be to find out micronutrient presence in urine and serum. The use of biostimulation in modern agriculture has rapidly expanded in recent years, owing to their beneficial effects on crop yield and product quality, which have come under the scope of intensive research.
The causes of malnutrition are complex and addressing the problem requires integrated action among various sectors. Globally, much attention has been given to nutrition-specific interventions to address the immediate causes of undernutrition. But undernutrition prevalence is decreasing at a very slow rate. Nutrition-specific interventions address the immediate determinants of child undernutrition, such as inadequate food and nutrient intake, but do not consider the underlying causes such as food insecurity, poverty, and limited access to clean water, hygienic environments, and health services. Ethiopia still has a high prevalence of undernutrition. The current situation of food insecurity and malnutrition in Ethiopia has pressurized the government in pursuing a number of nutritional-sensitive interventions to increase diversified food production and consumption like the Sustainable Undernutrition Reduction Program (SURE). This study aims to investigate whether joint nutrition specific and sensitive interventions can lead to improved household food security, dietary diversification and improved nutritional status in Ethiopian mothers and their young children. The study will be a community based longitudinal design and will use multistage cluster sampling at the Kebele and household levels in Amhara, Oromia, and Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) regions. Households will be randomly selected from the intervention and the non-intervention arms at Kebele level, with 15 households per Kebele. The same children whose baseline are available who were 0-23 months of age at the time of the baseline assessment in 2016 will be recruited as well as their mothers. This represents approximately third of the total sample size at baseline.
Fitness athletes emphasize the value of staying lean, muscular and defined, and motivates and inspires followers through social media. We want to study the effect of such lifestyle on selected aspects of psychological and physical health in female fitness athletes, and compare the outcomes to a healthy, physically active female population.
