Filter by:The purpose of this study is to develop a tool to help researchers better understand what diet information people know and what skills they use to make diet choices.
This study evaluates the effect of the education innovation program"chiquichefs" on anthropometric variables, quality of life and nutritional habits in an elementary school children. Compared with a control group of the same age but in another school.
While previous atherosclerosis-related studies have focused mainly on the atherogenicity of lipids, the proposed study aims to investigate the effects of other dietary factors, i.e. monosaccharides, disaccharides, amino acids, or artificial sweeteners, on the atherogenicity of serum or macrophages. Findings from the current proposed study may shed light on yet unknown mechanisms by which the above dietary factors could affect atherosclerosis development and CVD risk and hence could possibly assist in the future development of anti-atherogenic strategies.
Twenty healthy volunteers had their baseline parameters (symptoms, bowel habit, quality of life, fecal characteristics and microbiota) measured during a week of monitoring followed by randomization to a 14 days course of increased fiber in diet or increased fiber and water intake, with repetition of parameters measuring at the end.
The study aims to investigate whether the provision of free fresh fruits and vegetables to middle-aged men at risk of poverty increases their fruit and vegetable intake over a period of 4 weeks.
Dynamic prospective cohort of Spanish university graduates. The main objective is to evaluate the associations between nutrition and lifestyle and chronic diseases.
Live Well, Viva Bien (LWVB) is an NCI-funded, cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) that was conducted in 15 subsidized housing complexes to evaluate the efficacy of a multicomponent intervention comprised of a year-round, discount, mobile fresh F&V market -'Fresh To You' (FTY)- that was paired with a nutrition education component including included educational newsletters, campaigns, taste-testings and videos in both English and Spanish. The primary aim of the LWVB grant was to study the efficacy of FTY combined with a motivational/educational intervention to see if it increased F&V consumption compared to a Comparison intervention (attention placebo).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a primary prevention workshop is effective decreasing at least 13% the annual incidence of falls in elderly compared to the habitual counseling. Before the first fall incident, the elderly aged 65 or more, living in community, are invited to attend a workshop on fall preventing activities and factor risk detection. This activity consists on four sessions (one session per week during three weeks and the fourth session one year later) in which the elderly are expected to detect their own fall risk factors, encouraged to introduce healthy habits and to increase physical activity in order to improve strength and balance specifically. This workshop has been prepared by family physicians following the latest scientific recommendations, it will be lead by them on the first edition, but it has not been written in formal language in order to be used by volunteers concerned about aging topics, independent from the Health Service.
The overall purpose of the study is to evaluate nutrition education interventions to promote pulse incorporated complementary food to the wider rural community through the government system to improve maternal knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) and nutritional status of young children (6 to 24 months). The hypothesis is that nutrition education improves mothers knowledge, attitude and practice of pulse incorporated complementary food and improves dietary intake of iron and zinc and nutritional status of young children.
Although increasing age is associated with declining health and function, there are wide variations between individuals in the ageing process. Some of these differences are explained by differences in lifestyle, but little is known about the determinants of lifestyle in older age. The proposed project will describe influences on health behaviour and lifestyle in older adults. Investigators will undertake a prospective study of community-dwelling older people who use any of the Medicine for Older People Services in Southampton, allowing us to gain obtain important insights into the relationship between health behaviour, lifestyle and health outcomes in older people. Our principal aim is to identify key points on the ageing pathway when interventions may be best targeted to promote health. The findings of this project will underpin the design for a complex intervention to be conducted in the future to improve the health outcomes of older people.
