Filter by:Excessive weight gain, obesity and metabolic syndrome are highly prevalent in patients undergoing liver transplantation. Traditional methods of assessing dietary intake have failed to demonstrate an association between these problems and dietary intake. Patients with an indication for transplantation due to ethanolic cirrhosis, ex-smokers and those with a previous history of overweight were identified as being at greater risk for overweight and metabolic syndrome, and these factors may be related to the change in eating behavior after the operation. Objective: To evaluate the eating behavior, the occurrence of food craving and relation to weight gain, overweight and obesity after liver transplantation. Method: This is a cross-sectional study in which adult and elderly patients in follow-up at the Hepatic Transplant Outpatient Clinic of the Alpha Institute of Gastroenterology of the Federal University of Minas Gerais were evaluated for eating behavior and food craving. The evaluation of the eating behavior was performed with the help of the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-R21 (TFEQ-R21), translated version and validated for Portuguese. Food Craving Questionnaires State (FCQ-S) and Trait (FCQ-T) and the Brazilian Inventory of Foods Related to Craving (FCI-Br) were used in the translated and validated versions for Portuguese. Demographic, lifestyle, clinical and anthropometric variables of the evaluated patients were obtained through electronic medical records. Weight gain was assessed by the difference between the current weight and the first post-transplant outpatient weight.
The aim of this study is, first, to describe the evolution of the caloric compensation ability in infants from 3 to 15 months old and, secondly, to assess the links between changes in the caloric compensation ability and the individual characteristics (adiposity, age, gender, infant's eating behavior) and maternal feeding practices. Three series of measurements of caloric compensation abitlity were conducted: at 3-4 months old, at 10.5 months old and at 14.5 months old in the laboratory. In this study, a preload paradigm usually employed in children and adults to measure the caloric compensation ability was adapted to infants below 15 months old. The maternal eating behavior and their feeding practices were measured by questionnaires. The infants' height and weight were measured at the laboratory by trained experimenters.
Picky eating behaviour in young children is a very common concern for parents. The aim of the study is to investigate factors during early life which are associated with a child becoming a picky eater.
Because fruit and vegetables (FV) intake of children of Vitoria city is low, a controlled intervention program was proposed at school level. The intervention was based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as long as behavioral theories have been proved to be the most effective changing infant FV intake pattern. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program based on TPB and aimed to increase FV consumption in schoolchildren aged 8 to 10. For that aim, eligible classrooms from different schools were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=86) or control (n=86) group. The intervention group received 14 sessions of 60 minutes during 9 months of an academic year. Sessions, designed by a multidisciplinary team, are based on TPB and aimed to modify determinants of behavior (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, intention of consumption), and intake of FV itself. Change in fruit and vegetable intake and determinants of eating behavior were evaluated at 9 months of intervention using validated surveys, 7 day food records, 24 hour reminders and questionnaires. This study will provide a valid and useful tool to achieve changes in the consumption of FV at school level. A negative result will be useful to help redefining new strategies in the framework of changing habits in the consumption of FV.
The aim is to validate a new sham (control) method for use in transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) that is less discernible to participants from the real condition. Participants are often able to tell real from sham conditions. Correctly guessing real from sham undermines the integrity of evaluations of the value of tDCS as a treatment tool as responses may be in part or entirely the result of treatment expectation effects. The study will test a new sham method to reduce food craving and eating and test how much participants are able to discern it from the real or 'target' condition.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate of body mass index and eating behaviour changes in female patients with fibromyalgia under medical treatment.
The investigators aim to ascertain how food reward signals and eating behaviour relates to the gut-brain pathway in weight-losing patients after curative surgery for oesophageal cancer, and how this pathway responds to clinical treatment for this unintentional weight loss. The primary outcomes are the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal on functional MRI (fMRI), and the breakpoint during the progressive ratio task (PRT - a measure of eating behaviour), how these differ in response to multiple clinical treatment options, as well as how they relate to weight gain while on treatment.
This longitudinal observational cohort followed the growth and development of non-Hispanic white girls from age 5 to 15 years, with a focus on the development of the controls of food intake.
Due to the increased focus on education and changing lifestyle, college students are particularly susceptible to poor overall health and wellness due to inadequate sleep and poor dietary choices. This is particularly important because the behavioral choices college students make may affect their risk of chronic disease. This study will research these topics via an online survey, in person visit and stool sample.
This project aims to explore how social media use, in particular food photography, influences eating behaviours. It will be approached through three methods - a correlational experience sampling method, an experimental experience sampling method, and an experimental laboratory method. This registration describes the correlational experience sampling method.
