Filter by:This single-center, randomized controlled pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy of TruHeight Growth Protein Shake on improving growth patterns in children aged 4-17 years. Over six months, participants will consume the protein shake daily, five times a week, with outcomes measured in terms of type X collagen concentration in urine, height via a stadiometer, and body composition using an INBODY device.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of intensive nutrition counseling on nutritional status and functional recovery in stroke patients over the age of 65, compared to standard nutrition counseling.
The TANY VAO project pilot study aimed to create a circular and sustainable model with a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach to improve the health conditions of Madagascar's population living in rural areas. This is through an integrated approach in the areas of "wash and sanitation," agriculture, nutrition and "clean cooking." This project consisted of two phases: first an observational phase (Work Package 1, WP1) and secondarily an interventional phase (Work Package 2, WP2). Here is described the nutritional protocol as part of the multidisciplinary study. The nutritional activities were conducted by the Laboratory of Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition (LDNC) of the University of Pavia.
A cross-sectional dietary intake study was conducted with 423 Ivorian school aged children (SAC, 6-12 years) and 423 women of reproductive age (WRA, 15-49 years) from four cities, recruited by two-stage random sampling.
This study is a cross-sectional epidemiological, observational study. It would be carried out in primary health care sites. The purpose of this study is estimating the percentage of patients aged 60 years or older who suffer from a condition, or take medication, associated with a low or sodium-free diet in primary care consultations. This is a cross-sectional epidemiological study of data collection without medication. Participants data will be collected after obtaining their confirmation through an Informed Consent From. No medication will be given to patients.
The objective of this investigation was to assess the predictive capacity of the NUTRIC Score and NRS-2002, separately or combined, in forecasting hospital, 28-day and 3-month mortality in patients with respiratory failure admitted to the intensive care unit.
Malnutrition in critically ill patients is a global concern due to its association with increased infectious complications, prolonged hospital stays, and higher morbidity rates. Patients who undergo abdominal surgery are particularly vulnerable due to alterations in gastrointestinal function and prolonged fasting. Despite the significance of proper nutrition, guidelines remain broad, and practical implementation is often inadequate. The investigators aimed to assess the effects of strict nutritional provision, targeting an energy adequacy of 80% or more and a protein intake of at least 1.5 g/kg/day, on in-hospital and 60-day mortality.
In current practice, there are various nutritional risk scores and diagnostic tools which are used in both inpatient and outpatient settings,however, in some cases, these tools cannot be used due to lack of data. That's why a tool that doesn't require any anthropometric parameters, such as a visual food intake scale, could be useful to for medical and paramedical staff. In this way, a larger proportion of the paediatric population could benefit from nutritional screening.
Globally, one of the major risk factor for adolescent's morbidity is considered Malnutrition. Worldwide adolescent age group 10-19 is increasing and they are at increased risk of malnutrition related diseases resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Asian countries are suffering with the double burden of malnutrition including Pakistan. The risk factors that contribute to malnutrition in the population includes unsafe drinking water, poor sanitary conditions, lack of proper waste disposal facilities, poor health awareness, poor nutrition and hygiene. However, studies have shown that nutrition education, and water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) programmes in the schools are effective strategies to promote the health status of the adolescents (girls and boys). The primary objective of this study is to determine a school based nutrition and WASH education intervention to improve nutritional status among early adolescents.
The aim of the project is to study the influence of biostimulate crops on a healthy population in order to assess influence on hematological parameters and specific metabolism (glucose, lipid, iron, bone) and gut and lipid hormones. Secondary outcome will be to find out micronutrient presence in urine and serum. The use of biostimulation in modern agriculture has rapidly expanded in recent years, owing to their beneficial effects on crop yield and product quality, which have come under the scope of intensive research.
