Filter by:The aim of the Cork and Kerry Study Phase II (Mitchelstown cohort recruited 2010-11) is to provide an updated profile of glucose tolerance status, cardiovascular health and their related factors in an Irish adult general population sample and to compare the findings with those obtained during baseline assessment of Phase I of the Cork and Kerry study (1998) and the rescreen (2008).
The Do CHANGE service is designed for cardiac patients who could benefit from lifestyle change and a better disease management. The study aims to support patients with behavior change by providing them with devices and behavioral intervention in order to facilitate long-term behavior change.
The aim of the Stop Diabetes - Knowledge based solutions (StopDia) consortium project (University of Eastern Finland, National Institute for Health and Welfare, and Technical Research Centre of Finland) is to develop and test approaches to identify individuals at increased risk of type 2 diabetes and to empower them in adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle by combining individual and environment level strategies into a dual-process approach targeting deliberative and automatic processes of behavior. We also aim to identify barriers and facilitators of adopting a healthy lifestyle in the society, create a model for the prevention of type 2 diabetes by joint actions of health care, third sector, and other societal actors, and develop methods to monitor the cost-effectiveness of these actions. We will carry out a 1-year randomized controlled trial on the effects of among 10 000 individuals aged 18-70 years at increased risk of type 2 diabetes living in Finland. The participants will be randomized into the control group, the digital lifestyle intervention group, or the combined digital and face-to-face lifestyle intervention group. The aim of the interventions is to enhance diet quality, increase physical activity, decrease body weight, and improve glucose tolerance in individuals at increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
The objective of the present study is to implement and evaluate the effect of a counseling program to promote healthy eating and practice of physical activity in the nutritional status, quality of life and prognosis of women Type I (endometrioid) endometrial cancer.
The present study aimed to determine the effects of negative-calorie diet supplemented with exercise, on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with low-calorie diet with exercise among elderly adult men with abnormal weight gain.
Negative-calorie diet is among the popular dieting guides for weight loss; however, there is still little knowledge about this method. The present study aimed to determine the effects of negative-calorie diet on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with low-calorie diet in men.

Women with previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are characterized by several metabolic abnormalities i.e. insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction and increased risk of later Diabetes Mellitus (DM). These latent disorders of glucose metabolism are demasked by the metabolic stress of pregnancy and as a routine, clinical assessment and measurement of HbA1c in addition to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is offered 3 months post partum. In this study, women with previous GDM and a control group matched on age, time of birth and BMI around 8 years after pregnancy will be investigated. Information from pregnancy and post partum examination (GDM only) will be used to identify risk factors for later development of DM. Further, life-style factors and mental health according to diabetes status will be studied.
In a pilot study 90 physically inactive patients will be randomized to three different intervention groups; mindfulness training, mindfulness training and Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) or only PAP Follow-up will be done at baseline, three and six months with questionnaires, accelerometers and analysis of traditional risk factors to evaluate whether mindfulness may increase physical activity and decrease physical inactivity.
Symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and high body mass index (BMI) overlap. The investigators are trying to find out if a program proven to help people lose a modest amount of weight and increase their physical activity will improve COPD symptoms for those with a high BMI. The program uses a series of video sessions and self-study handouts focused on healthy eating and increasing physical activity, and encourages participants to monitor their weight, diet, and physical activity for one year. For those who want to, they will be able to work with a health coach to help meet weight and activity goals. We hope that the program will lead to improved exercise tolerance, body weight, dyspnea, generic health-related quality of life, and major cardiovascular risk factors (central obesity by waist circumference, Framingham Risk Score, and blood pressure) through 12 months of follow-up. To be in the study, participants will need to have COPD, high BMI, history of smoking, shortness of breath, and be at least 40 years old.
