Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using new app-based technology to improve dietary habits, compared to usual care in patients with type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that the intervention, i.e. using the new technology an an app-based course for healthy eating habits, will have a greater positive effect on dietary habits and biological markers, including HbA1c and serum lipids, than usual care.
In this study, one year changes in healthy eating and gardening behaviors associated with the intervention were estimated using a group randomized controlled trial design, with the comparison arm receiving a delayed intervention in the following school year.
This study builds on several years of working with Navajo communities to increase gardening and healthy eating. In collaboration with the Dream Diné Charter School in Shiprock, NM, the investigators propose to develop a school garden intervention to increase fruit and vegetable consumption and reduce risk for obesity among Navajo families. The intervention will integrate: an enhanced school garden plot; a curriculum for elementary school children on gardening and healthy eating; and family engagement in the curriculum and at community gardening fairs.
This study investigates differences in microbiota profiles and metabolite levels between mild and severe IBS patients, compared to matched healthy controls. Two fecal samples, with one month in between, will be analyzed. Secondary parameters such as dietary intake, quality of life and stool pattern will be assessed.
The aim of this study is to engage parents and their young children (1-5 years of age) using the mobile intervention, Nutricity. Study goals are to increase parental nutrition literacy and improve eating habits of children.
The health benefits of regular physical activity and a healthy diet are well established in literature. Regular physical activity and a healthy diet may reduce the risk of certain non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer, and contribute to mental health and emotional benefits, as well as social wellbeing. Despite the health benefits of regular physical activity and healthy diet, most of the Hong Kong people live a sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle and do not meet the WHO's recommendation on physical activity for health and on fruit and vegetables intake. This study is to examine the physical activity and dietary attitudes and behavioural patterns of the Hong Kong community and provide a clear direction for future health education and awareness projects and campaigns aimed towards improving the general health of the Hong Kong community.
This program encourages community members to walk approximately 1 mile to the Whitesburg Farmers Market each Thursday or Saturday. The study aims to determine if walking to the market to receive vouchers improve health outcomes beyond controls who receive nutrition education.
The purpose of this project is to test, for the first time, a reverse diet in adults with current or prior overweight/obesity (Ow/Ob). Weight-reduced adults with current or prior Ow/Ob will be randomized to a reverse diet or "standard care" control (CON) intervention for 12 weeks. Eligible participants will have lost >10% body mass. The reverse diet group will receive personalized caloric intake goals, increasing 2-3%/week. The CON group will receive standard weight maintenance recommendations with matched contact. At baseline and week 12, resting energy expenditure (REE), body mass and composition, subjective appetite, and food intake behaviors will be evaluated. In addition to the pre- and post-intervention measures, body mass and adherence to reverse diet will be monitored weekly.
Assess the relationship between body composition, metabolism, and dietary needs in people with spinal cord injury compared to their healthy controls that are age and sex matched.
Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) like sodas, sports drinks, and fruit drinks remains a pressing public health concern in the United States. Consumption of SSBs remains well above recommended levels, and has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In response, policymakers across the U.S. have proposed requiring warning messages on SSB containers to inform the public and reduce consumption to healthier levels. While online studies find that such warnings reduce intentions to purchase SSBs, no studies have yet examined the impact of warnings on actual consumer behavior. The purpose of this randomized trial is to determine whether health warnings on sugar-sweetened beverages are more effective than control labels at reducing purchases of sugar-sweetened beverages. The trial will take place in a mock convenience store. Participants will be randomly assigned to a health warnings arm in which all sugar-sweetened beverages in the store are labeled with a health warning, or to a control arm in which all sugar-sweetened beverages in the store are labeled with a neutral label. Participants will select items to purchase with cash, and purchases will be compared across trial arms.
