Filter by:Unrestricted parental smoking habits are lifestyle risk behaviors associated with chronic, systemic inflammation, which promotes the pathogenesis of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke in early life contributes to the development of specific NCDs in children, i.e. asthma. Early preventive measures to improve lifestyle behavior in parents are therefore of utmost importance. The aim of ELIPSE-II is to assess whether an eHealth application intervention for parents is feasible and efficacious in lowering levels of urinary cotinine as a measure of second-hand smoke exposure in their children .
The goal of this study is to understand the interaction between the circadian system and physical activity. Participants will: - complete 2 inpatient stays - perform moderate exercise - be provided with identical meals - have frequent blood draws - provide urine and saliva samples
Childhood obesity is a strong predictor of adult obesity with health and economic consequences for the individual and society. Adiposity rebound (AR) is a rise in the Body Mass Index occurring between 3-7 years. Early adiposity rebound (EAR) occurs at a median age of 2 years and is a risk factor for later obesity. Events happening in "the first 1,000 days" play a role in obesity development. One of the key elements in this crucial time window is the gut microbiome, a highly dynamic organ that is sensitive to environmental exposure being linked to obesity development. Prenatal (dietary/lifestyle maternal factors and environmental exposure) and postnatal determinants (the type of feeding, sleep patterns, speed of growth) and environmental obesogenic pollutants may influence the infant microbial colonization, thus increasing the risk of EAR onset. LIMIT will holistically identify the longitudinal interplay between the intestinal microbiome and infant/maternal nutritional and lifestyle habits, environmental factors exposure and anthropometric measurements, in children with AR vs EAR, driving new mechanistic insights to create an EAR predictive model. The study will evaluate a group of 150 mother-infant pairs, during the first four years of life at different follow-up.
In Finland, every third woman is overweight (BMI>25) and 11,5% obese (BMI>30). Cohort and national studies reveal that 46% of fertile-aged men have BMI≥25 and 20% BMI≥30. Overweight has negative impact on both female and male fertility and weakens markedly the results of infertility treatments. In this study, 780 infertile couples will be randomized to control group (conventional infertility treatment) and lifestyle intervention arm undergoing 4 sessions of video-mediated motivational interview, anthropometric measurements, laboratory tests and epigenetic samples. Economic evaluation of the intervention will also be performed.
The objective of this small study is to assess the feasibility of remotely delivering a diet and lifestyle intervention following treatment of CRC through telecommunications and digital technology. A DBCI will be implemented among a population of people living with and beyond CRC to help identify if patients find this an easy and achievable way to communicate with a Registered Dietitian. The information gained from this small scale feasibility will be used to help develop a larger study on supporting people with CRC to make a lifestyle change.
Wellness Rx is a 6 class prescription for a healthier lifestyle developed for people in Lake County at all levels of health including those struggling with chronic disease. The classes are running across the community at all times. It is designed for patients that could benefit from healthy diet, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle modifications. For those participants attending the classes, they have the option of engaging in this evaluation. For those that do, participants will answer questions about their current lifestyle, their and their previous history. They will register attendance at each class and answer questions about their perception of the class. Then at 45 days and 90 days the participants will revisit the same baseline lifestyle questionnaires. As participants attend classes, and complete questionnaires, they'll unlock grocery credits from online food store ThriveMarket, a basket of fresh produce from the local farmers market and local fitness classes to help you towards your goals. The use of these credits will be tracked through the 90-day point.
