Filter by:This study aims to determine the relationships among loss of control eating, restriction, relative reinforcing value of high energy-dense food, and obesity risk. In order to achieve this aim, the investigators will follow children over the course of a year, obtaining behavioral and observational measurements, in addition to a two-week restricted access and two week non-restricted access period.
This pilot randomized controlled trial will test the effectiveness of Eatable Alphabet cards, a child friendly nutrition education tool, on child weight and related behaviors in a clinical sample of 2 to 10-year-old children with overweight/obesity, referred to a pediatric weight management program.
The purpose of this study is to assess how family relationships are related to health and nutrition behaviors among transgender and gender diverse youth and young adults.
The application of PEG in geriatric-palliative care has not been well discussed. With the development of endoscopic procedures and PEG devices, we can perform this minimally invasive method more safely, even in challenging cases. We should discuss the indications of PEG in the field of palliative care of geriatric patients. The presented study evaluated geriatric (> 65-year-old) palliative care patients to whom PEG applied at our institution.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of community health screening, health education and nutritional intervention on risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a predominantly African American population. The health fair and intervention will take place in a church that typically improves their lifestyle by "giving up for Lent" certain foods or habits. Participation in this nutrition intervention is voluntary and each participant will sign an informed consent along with a waiver. On the waiver, the participant can agree to have all testing performed but can withdraw consent at any time or decide to have only some of the testing. It was hypothesized that a community-based health screening and nutritional intervention will have a positive impact on the participants by: 1. Measuring baseline risk factors 2. Educating them about their individual risk for heart disease 3. Providing education on healthy lifestyle 4. Providing a nutritional intervention for 40 days with home- delivered plant-based meals nutrition that has been shown to lower cardiac risk factors 5. Repeating the risk factor assessment at the end of the intervention, to demonstrate the degree of, if any, reduction in cardiac risk as assessed by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Calculator 6. Motivating at-risk subjects to seek continued appropriate medical care and to institute more permanent relevant lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, medication compliance).
This is a study of tirzepatide in Chinese participants without Type 2 Diabetes who have obesity or overweight. The main purpose is to learn more about how tirzepatide affects body weight.
This study will present an advanced equipment of tumor nutrition diagnosis and assesment for nasopharyngeal cancer(NPC) radiotherapy patients in nutritional risk screening, evaluation, diagnosis and directing nutritional intervention, aiming to explore the advantages of the whole nutritional management in acute radiation reaction rate, completion rate of radiotherapy, nutritional status, and quality of life for NPC patients.
Zinc deficiency in children is a major problem which leads to compromised immunity and accordingly repeated infections. This study aims to investigate the effect of supplementing zinc to decrease the incidence of diarrhea and respiratory illness in children between 6 months and 5 years in Paediatric Outpatient Clinic in Ain Shams University Hospital.
The validity (by alcohol burning and gas infusions) and reliability (day-to-day variability in healthy subjects) of six metabolic carts will be compared.
INTRODUCTION: Global protein consumption has been increasing for decades due to changes in socio-economic demographics and consumer trends towards higher protein intake, which may be related to their health benefits in performance nutrition and appetite regulation. The additional intake of protein often occurs in the form of supplements. One of the main ingredients used in sports and weight loss supplements are animal-derived proteins such as whey, which are of high quality, containing all the essential amino acids required in human nutrition with a high absorption rate. However, whey protein has a high environmental footprint, and it may contribute to insulin resistance in susceptible groups (e.g. obese, T2DM, insulin resistant, or those with sarcopenic obesity). Rice and potato protein isolates are high-quality plant proteins containing all essential amino acids comparably to whey protein. These plant-derived proteins may provide a more sustainable and accessible alternative to animal-derived proteins for appetite regulation and weight management.
