Filter by:IBS is a global disease, patients often because of long-term symptoms of recurrent, not timely diagnosis and treatment effect is not ideal and frequent treatment, seriously affect the quality of life, and cause the corresponding economic and social burden.At present，a number of studies suggest that fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) can induce IBS symptoms.Data from large randomized controlled trials are limited, leaving clinicians with the challenge of providing patients with reliable guidance based on minimal evidence.
The overall objective is to examine if participating in an SMS-transmitted health educational program targeting a cluster of dietary factors over a period of weeks during the years of adolescence can induce durable changes towards more healthful dietary habits and body weight trajectories. The investigators will examine if impact is reinforced by asking a friend of the participant to also participate; if impact is reinforced by asking the mother of the participant to also participate; and if impact is reinforced when the SMS-transmitted health promotion program is designed to target a specific dietary factor only - decided upon from participants' reporting of their dietary habits at the beginning of the program - rather than to simultaneously target a cluster of dietary issues uniform for all participants.
Young children in Ethiopia lack sufficient protein and micronutrients for growth and development. The overall purpose is to assess the effects of promoting egg and eggshell powder consumption on improving the nutritional status of children 6 to 15 months in Halaba Special Woreda, Southern Ethiopia. The hypothesis is that providing chickens to produce eggs (egg and eggshell) for young children will improve growth in otherwise malnourished young children. Upon providing chickens, the nutritional status of young children prior and after the intervention (by 6 months) will be assessed. Identification of the knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of mothers on egg and eggshell powder consumption by their children before and after the intervention in the intervention group will be done. Caregivers will be instructed to give each child 1 egg (cooked) and 1/4 "bottle cap" of eggshell (500 mg calcium) per day in the intervention. Hemoglobin will be measured as an indicator of overall nutritional status. Throughout the study, any problems arising in keeping chickens will be recorded in order to assess the feasibility and practicality of raising chickens as way to improve nutritional status of young children. The study is novel in that investigators are providing a way to have increased protein, increased micronutrients, and use of eggshell as a source of calcium.
The purpose of this project is to study the efficacy of a delivery system to offer fresh fruits and vegetables (F&V) at discount prices for purchase at worksites in conjunction with educational interventions on increasing employees' F&V consumption in comparison to an intervention receiving fruit and vegetable markets alone or a comparison intervention.
This study will examine differences in habituation to foods high in sugar and fat content versus those that are not, in normal weight women.
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of introducing healthier, chef-enhanced foods and/or environmental modifications (choice architecture) on selection and consumption of school foods among elementary and middle school students.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of an innovative approach to increase the amount of vegetable's (V) intake consumed by preschool children who are predominately African-American (AA) and Hispanic-American (HA).
Kelsey Wallour and Dr. Hollie Raynor are doing a study to investigate the effect of focusing on certain thoughts and feelings during a meal on liking of items in the meal. A total of 36 women are anticipated to participate in this study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a program to improve habits in a population with cardiovascular disease, comparing two different educational techniques (cognitive behavioral therapy group vs. informational workshops).
Obesity is associated with increased risk for mortality, atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease, colorectal cancer, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, gallbladder disease, and diabetes mellitus, resulting in over 111,000 deaths annually in the United States ). In the US, 65% of adults are overweight or obese. Unfortunately, the treatment of choice for obesity (behavioral weight loss treatment) only results in a 10% reduction in body weight on average and most patients regain this weight within a few years. Further, most obesity prevention programs do not reduce risk for future weight gain. The limited success of treatment and prevention interventions may be due to an incomplete understanding of the processes that increase risk for obesity. Recent data suggest that obese adults show abnormalities in reward from food intake and anticipated food intake relative to lean adults, but the precise nature of these abnormalities is unclear and it has not been established whether these abnormalities predate obesity onset or are a consequence. It is vital to elucidate risk factors for obesity onset to advance understanding of etiological processes and determine the content of prevention and treatment programs. The goals of this study are to (1) determine whether adolescents at high-risk for obesity, by virtue of having two obese parents, show abnormalities in reward from food intake (consummatory food reward) and anticipated reward from food intake (anticipatory food reward) compared to adolescents who are at low-risk for obesity, (2) determine whether abnormalities in consummatory and anticipatory food reward increase risk for weight gain and obesity onset, (3) examine moderators that may amplify the relations of consummatory and anticipatory food reward to unhealthy weight gain, and (4) examine changes in consummatory and anticipatory food reward in those participants who show obesity onset relative to those not showing obesity onset. Each of these goals is described in more detail below.
