Filter by:The goal of the study is to build a Register accruing data derived from the compilation of the questionnaire about LifeStyle for a population both of adults and of young boys and girls. The investigators are confident that in this way they will be able to expand the database they already have. The investigators will be able to increase the strength of the correlations between LS indices and health indicators. In particular, the investigators will emphasize the relationship between physical activity, stress, and diet quality on one hand, and on the other, they will focus on physiological parameters, like arterial pressure, gluco-lipid profile, and possible pathologies.
The incidence and prevalence of metabolic risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, as well as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), are continuously rising among the occupational population in China, primarily comprising the middle-aged and young adults. Unhealthy lifestyles and declining physical fitness are independent risk factors affecting cardiovascular health. Additionally, the level of physical fitness is influenced by postnatal lifestyles. Lifestyle factors related to cardiovascular health in the occupational population encompass various aspects, including smoking, physical activity, diet, sleep, psychological stress, etc. These factors may interact or have a synergistic effect, necessitating a comprehensive assessment. This project proposes a prospective cohort study design to establish a monitoring cohort for lifestyle and physical fitness among the occupational population. The study will track and follow individuals with or without any CVD metabolic risk factors, collecting information on general status, lifestyle, physical fitness, and health examination data. Exposure factors such as lifestyle and physical fitness will be measured annually, and the occurrence of CVD-related health outcomes will be observed. The aim is to develop a comprehensive evaluation index for cardiovascular health lifestyle, analyze the direct and indirect impacts of lifestyle and physical fitness on the occurrence and development of CVD, and explore potential mediating and moderating effects of physical fitness in the association between lifestyle and cardiovascular health.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the most common chronic lifestyle-related disorder with a significant impact on quality and healthcare expenditures. Insufficient glycemic control and low fitness level prior to a surgical intervention results in more postoperative complications which leads to a longer hospitalization, higher costs and mortality. A prehabilitation intervention in persons with T2DM prior to surgery should be aimed to improve glucose regulation and translate into better outcomes. However, the classic interventions such as Combined Lifestyle Intervention are labor-intensive and require a high degree of organization and therefore are not used as standard care. The use of biofeedback can provide a solution to this. Biofeedback with a continuous glucose sensor in combination with lifestyle monitoring by activity trackers and coaching prior to surgery is a promising but unexplored prehabilitation strategy. The Nursing Prehabilitation Intervention Supported with Technology for vascular Surgery in People with Type 2 Diabetes (VITAAAL) intervention is a form of blended care. It focuses on improving vitality and glycemic control before surgery with the Diameter application, using intermittently scanned glucose monitoring, nutrition habits and physical activity blended with coaching from a nurse practitioner (NP) diabetes. Because VITAAAL is a novel intervention, the aim of this pilot study is to investigate its usability and feasibility. The pilot study consists of three phases. After the first phase, a specific prehabilitation module will be designed and programmed in the Diameter app. This module will be based on the results and experiences in phase one. In phase two and three the patients will use the adjusted version of the Diameter app that contains implemented findings of the previous phase.
Use of information and communication technology -based health behavior change support system in modifying lifestyle after delivery among women with obesity.
This non-randomized pilot study program is focused on assessing the technical characteristics of the Aspire2B mobile device application.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative integrated care in pre-frail or frail patients with diabetes over 65 years old. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To establish innovative integrated care for frail elderly patients with diabetes combined with nutrition and lifestyle guidance. - To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention compared with general outpatient care. Participants will receive 12 weeks of structured care including specialist care, integrated assessment, group health education, one-on-one nutrition and lifestyle guidance, online and face-to-face support group, and case management. Researchers will compare general outpatient care to see its effects on frailty, physical function, and blood sugar control.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the nurse-led GILL (Gezondheid in Lichaam en Leefstijl) eHealth intervention in patients with serious mental illness (SMI), compared to usual care. Expected is that the GILL eHealth intervention will be more effective than usual care in improving physical health and lifestyle behaviors. To evaluate this, we will perform a cluster randomized controlled trial with an embedded process evaluation of the implementation of the GILL intervention. 258 adult patients with serious mental illness and a body mass index of 27 or higher (overweight/obesity) will be included. The GILL eHealth intervention consists of two complementary modules for (a) somatic screening and (b) lifestyle promotion, resulting in a personalized somatic treatment and lifestyle plan. Trained mental health nurses and clinical nurse specialists will implement the intervention within the multidisciplinary treatment context, and will guide and support the patients in the promotion of their somatic health, including cardiometabolic risk management. The intervention will be compared to usual care, which includes treatment according to national guidelines. The outcome measures will be metabolic syndrome severity (primary), fitness, physical activity, lifestyle behaviors, quality of life, recovery, psychosocial functioning, health related self-efficacy and health care utilization after 1 year. The process evaluation focuses on the feasibility of the eHealth intervention, its acceptability for patients and health care providers (mainly mental health nurses and clinical nurse specialists), and barriers/facilitators to implementation.
The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on human health outcomes in healthy sedentary subjects, over 12 weeks of exercise training. The investigators will compare several health parameters, such as changes in multiomics profile, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and body composition, before and after 12-week interventions of either HIIT or MICT.

To assess changes in food intake and food preference (e.g., fat and sugar) after bariatric surgery and lifestyle intervention alone with a direct measurement.
