Filter by:The goal is to expand a parent-mediated intervention for feeding challenges in children with autism with an Australian cohort, building on recent research and current successful models already being used. A parent-mediated intervention would primarily occur in the home environment, working with the parent to establish goals and implement the intervention based on their child's specific needs.
This randomized, double-blind, comparator controlled trial evaluated the blood glucose and insulin responses in healthy adults, after consuming a high fiber or low fiber muffin top.

This pilot study aims to produce preliminary data on the safety of providing high-protein meals to patients during dialysis, and effects of this intervention on nutritional status and quality of life outcomes. This is a non-randomized, parallel arm study. Meals provided will follow recommended dietary guidelines for HD patients and will provide approximately 1/3 of daily recommended protein intake. Patients will be allocated to either the treatment or control group by HD shift schedule. 2 months of baseline data will be collected, followed by 9 weeks of meal intervention/control and data collection. The primary outcome will be frequency of hypotensive events during dialysis requiring intervention. Secondary outcomes will include highest and lowest systolic blood pressure during dialysis, blood biochemistries including measures of renal function, nutritional status, and electrolyte balance; dialysis compliance; fluid retention; sleep and other quality of life measures; and dietary intake data.
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 goal of this application is to understand the connection between people's eating habits and the risk for developing diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a psychosocial and nutritional intervention, entitled "RelAte", on cooking and mealtime behaviours of older adults who are living alone and at risk of social isolation. The intervention will be delivered in the home of participants by a trained volunteer of a similar age.
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of sleep and meal timing, independent of sleep duration, on glucose regulation and metabolic and hormonal control of energy balance in normal weight adults. This study will be a 4-phase, randomized controlled study of 5 days each in which participants will undergo 2 phases of late sleep times that differ in meal timing (normal or late) and 2 phases of normal sleep times that differ in meal timing (normal or late). The Aims and Hypotheses of this study are: Aim 1: To compare hormonal regulation of food intake and metabolic risk markers in response to altered sleep and meal timing. - Hypothesis 1: There will be an interaction between sleep and meal time on glucose, insulin, and glucose and insulin area under the curve after the glucose tolerance test such that the late sleep/late meal will result in the worst metabolic profile, normal sleep/late meal and late sleep/normal meal will have an intermediate profile, and normal sleep/normal meal will result in the best metabolic profile. - Hypothesis 2: There will be an interaction between sleep and meal time on leptin and ghrelin concentrations such that the late sleep/late meal timing phase will result in low leptin/high ghrelin, normal sleep/late meal timing and late sleep/normal meal will have an intermediate profile, and normal sleep/normal meal timing will result in high leptin/low ghrelin. Aim 2: To compare food intake over a 24-h period in response to altered sleep and meal timing. • Hypothesis 3: Energy and fat intakes will be greater during the late sleep timing phase compared to normal sleep timing.
