Filter by:Polypathology in elderly subjects requires polypharmacy but even though the efficacy of a medication and digestive tolerance are ensured, the medication can be taken a long time from meals to reduce its side-effects. Despite numerous studies that have investigated links between medication and malnutrition, none have assessed the influence of the time the drug is taken on the evolution of the nutritional status of elderly hospitalized persons. So as to identify the best nutritional criterion in hospitalized persons, a retrospective pilot study will be conducted in about thirty patients. Their medication will be recorded and their nutritional status will be evaluated using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), albumin, prealbumin levels, weight and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) short form. This preliminary study will allow us to choose the best nutritional criterion to compare the impact of two strategies for taking medication (post prandial versus pre-prandial) on improving the nutritional status of malnourished elderly hospitalized patients taking multiple drugs.
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of a novel fruit and vegetable mobile phone application on fruit and vegetable intakes, knowledge and attitudes.
The epidemic of pediatric obesity has become a public health burden in both developed and developing countries, due to its serious health consequences, including an increased risk of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and heart disease. Currently, dietary and exercise changes are still the center of preventive and treatment measures of obesity. Recently, the omega-3 group, one of the groups of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), has been associated with many positive effects leading to the improvement of many diseases related to obesity. Nevertheless, the consumption of this essential nutrient requires certain ration to optimize its favorable result. Although previous studies have examined the efficacy of dietary counseling approach as treatment for obesity, none of them as explicitly explore the use of linear programming to create a tailored diet containing high omega-3 fatty acid food as a part of dietary counseling in obesity management program among children. Thus, this study is intended to contribute the clinical evidence regarding this area of knowledge, specifically the effects of enhanced counseling containing complementary feeding recommendation on nutritional status, omega-3 fatty acid, malondialdehyde, and alpha Tocopherol among children with risk of overweight aged 12 -23 months in East Jakarta.
This is a single visit, non-interventional, cross sectional study about risk factors, etiology, nutritional status and feeding methods in CP patients.
This is a survey which will be performed on a specific day (the "Screening Day") in Latin American ICUs. In eligible patients who receive enteral or parenteral nutrition a retrospective calculation of the "caloric deficit" will be performed. The caloric deficit is the difference between energy target of each patient and actually administered calories.
This methodology study will evaluate the sensitivity in using sitting knee digital caliper to measure changes in sitting knee length from over a 12-week study period amidst children in the age of 6 to 12 years in a community-based study in children ages 6 to 12 years who are receiving nutritional supplementation with micronutrients or without micronutrients.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined whey protein and creatine supplement, as compared with whey protein supplement alone, on change in upper and lower body strength.
This study will examine the impact of creatine supplementation on muscle function and cognitive performance in young and older subjects.
Data on the diet and nutritional status of adolescent girls in Zambézia Province, Mozambique was collected. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2010 in two seasons, January-February and May-June. Participants (total n=551) were recruited from Quelimane (the provincial capital), Maganja da Costa district and Morrumbala district.
The aim of this retrospective observational study is to determine the impact of preoperative nutritional status on postoperative outcome. Elective surgical patients were screened with Bio-Impedance-Analysis, Malnutritional Universal Screening Tool, and other variables for body composition. Outcome parameters were collected by patient chart review.
