Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the effect of nutrition education on nutritional literacy, nutritional status, eating habits and eating behavior in high school students. The research will be conducted in six high schools, three of which are intervention schools and three of which are control schools It is planned that a total of 1000 students will be included in the study from the intervention school and 1000 students from the control school. At the beginning of the study (June 2022), an introductory form (sociodemographic characteristics, body image (Stunkart scale), dietary habits, knowledge about weight status) was applied to all students. Adolescent Nutrition Literacy Scale (ANLS), Instrument of Nutrition Literacy, Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KID-MED), Eating Attitudes Test 26 (EAT-26), International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) were applied, anthropometric measurements and three-day food consumption records were taken. During the study, nutrition initiatives consisting of 8 modules will be made to the intervention schools. Control schools will not be interfered with during this period.At the end of the study, the procedures applied at the beginning will be repeated.
The overall goal is to determine how a sleep extension intervention (increasing time in bed) in individuals who maintain less than 6.5 hours sleep per night affects their plasma ceramides and insulin sensitivity. Participants will undergo a randomized controlled trial, with sleep extension (intervention) and healthy lifestyle (control) groups. The sleep extension is designed to increase participant's time in bed by 2 hours per night. Alternatively, the control group will receive basic health information (e.g., physical activity, goal setting, and nutrition when eating out).
The overall goal is to examine the efficacy of a circadian intervention in people with overweight and obesity and habitual short sleep duration (HSSD). Participants will undergo a randomized controlled trial, with circadian intervention and control (healthy lifestyle) groups. The circadian intervention is designed to reduce nighttime light exposure and after-dinner snack food intake. Alternatively, the control group will receive basic health information (e.g., physical activity, goal setting, and nutrition when eating out).
Military personnel and athletes have a very high energy expenditure which is increased during certain key periods (intense training, competition and mission). Compensating for this expenditure through food can be complicated by physiological ingestive limits and logistical and organizational constraints (number of meals, availability of food), which leads these populations to regularly experience energy deficit situations (intake below requirements), which could alter physical and cognitive performance and major physiological functions. Among the many constraints to which military personnel and athletes are exposed to (stress, sleep deprivation, travel, etc.) that can increase the risk of energy deficits, the impact of thermal environmental constraints is not well known. The seasonal impact and travel to countries with very different thermal environments can lead these populations to experience cold and hot conditions for long periods. Understanding how heat and cold exposure modifies appetite and energy intake therefore appears to be of great importance. The hypothesis of this study is that a 24 h heat exposure would produce a rapid and long-lasting anorexigenic action impacting energy intake, while a cold exposure would produce the opposite effect (orexigenic action).
This research; The Turkish validity and reliability study of the "Reward-Based Eating Impulse Scale-13" developed by Ashley E. Mason was conducted to provide a new measurement tool for our country. At the same time, the study will provide a database for intervention studies to eliminate the effects of reward-based eating urge. Identifying reward-based eating in the middle and lower ranges of the eating disorder spectrum may contribute to halting the growing obesity epidemic. The Reward-Based Eating Impulse Scale will help researchers and clinicians to identify individuals who lack control over eating, cannot feel full, and are constantly preoccupied with eating.
Most individuals with obesity become so before age 35 and adolescent's unhealthy dietary patterns, specifically high intake of ultra-processed foods and poor overall diet quality, may contribute to energy overconsumption and weight gain. The overall objective of this research is to establish proof-of-concept for altered reward processing measured by brain response to ultra-processed foods, an increase in ad libitum energy intake, and adverse effects on executive function in response to an ultra-processed diet (81% total energy) compared to a diet emphasizing minimally processed foods in individuals aged 18-25 years.
Healthy eating is a key preventive approach to combat the rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCD) worldwide. The dietary habit established during adolescence has high tendency to continue to adulthood, and is affected by family factors in multiple dimensions. Kerry Group Kuok Foundation (Hong Kong) Limited (KGKF) initiated the Trekkers Family Enhancement Scheme (TFES) in 2012 to empower low-income families in Tung Chung to self-care and development. In response to the persistent unhealthy eating habits among these families despite a series of nutrition workshops incorporating short talks and sharing of healthy recipes, this study aims to investigate the barriers, facilitators and strategies that enable adolescents from low income families to develop a healthy eating habit. Qualitative family interviews of 20 family units, or more until data saturation, of at least one parent and one adolescent (aged 10-19 year old) will be conducted based on deductive thematic approach. Each interview will last for about an hour, be conducted in Cantonese, and audio-taped for transcription in verbatim in Chinese. The data will be coded independently into broad themes in English by two members of the research team. This research can provide an insight into personal and familial factors and potential strategies influencing eating habits of adolescents, which can guide the development of effective interventions to promote healthy eating in low-income families.
