Filter by:This cross- sectional, single-center study was conducted with the participation of 912 students studying at [removed for blind peer review] Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Educational Sciences, Faculty of Social Sciences, Faculty of Law and Medicine. The sample size was calculated to be a minimum of 379 with 95% confidence over the total number of students, 5301. The study was carried out between October 2020 and December 2020. The compliance of the study with the ethical rules was evaluated by the Istanbul Medeniyet University Social and Human Sciences Research and Publication Ethics Committee at its meeting dated 27.10.2020 and approved with the decision numbered 2020/39. At the beginning of the study, verbal and written consent was obtained from the individuals and a questionnaire containing 29 questions was distributed by the researchers. The questionnaire form consists of three parts. The first part includes 10 questions to determine the demographic characteristics of the participants, the second part includes 17 questions to determine their eating habits, and the third part includes 2 questions to evaluate the status of following the news about nutrition and heart health and whether they find the public service ads on this subject sufficient.
This is an open-label observational single-group clinical trial to study the efficacy of a commercial superfood blend and its effect on markers of well-being and improvement of long-term healthy eating habits.
There is a need for population-level intervention research to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on disordered eating and unhealthy eating behaviours. Systematic reviews have demonstrated that psychotherapy and yoga can help to reduce binge eating and disordered eating habits, however, these interventions were tested in person. Studies examining the effectiveness of these interventions in an online, group-based format are warranted. In 2019, the investigators launched a RCT to test gender-stratified group interventions to address mental health and addictive behaviours among community-based adults in southern Alberta. The investigators implemented this intervention with more than 200 adults in person before this study was paused due to COVID-19; In 2020, the investigators adapted this intervention for online delivery to 200 community-dwelling women across Alberta. The most recent iteration of this study indicated the participants were particularly concerned about their relationship with food and how they were engaging in different eating behaviours to cope with the stress of COVID-19.
Aging is characterized by low-grade inflammatory state, supported by impairment oxidative balance and endocrine changes, leading to changes in: body composition, such as decrease in lean body mass and increase in adipose tissue; resting metabolic rate; immune function; cognitive impairment. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics all subjects over the age of 60 should be able to access to adequate nutrition and appropriate nutritional services. In order to ensure healthy aging and to reduce effects of specific diseases, recommendations are needed for illness and disability in this population, as well as adequate physical activity and specific support programs, culturally accepted. The aim of this study is to evaluate eating habits in term of food consumption, health state and lifestyle in a sample of free-living elderly over the age of 65, living in Milan and surroundings. In particular, profiling of the elderly population is performed using a survey in which information are collected on methods, contexts, time and ability to buy, prepare, consume and dispose of and recycle food. Eating habits and knowledge about food are detected through the analysis of food consumption frequencies, and lifestyle by assessing the level of physical activity, quality of sleep, smoking habit. Weight status and health status are evaluated through anthropometric measurements, body composition (bioelectrical impedance) and strength test. Other information relating to social participation and other socio-demographic variables (age, gender, family composition, socio-economic status) are collected to have a completed profiling of target population. Achieved results will help us to identify factors on which acting to ensure healthy aging and counteract inflammaging, the chronic low-grade systemic inflammation characteristic in the aging process. Moreover, the study allows increasing the knowledge related to the needs and requirements of the target population to determine a good food policy and to increase the elderly empowerment.
