Consumption of vegetables at dinner in a cohort of Norwegian adolescents.
2007
Abstract This longitudinal study examined the frequency of consumption of vegetables for dinner by Norwegian adolescents and their parents. Associations of perceived availability, correlations and stability were explored. The longitudinal cohort consist of 1950 adolescents attending 6th/7th (2002) and 9th/10th (2005) grade, and their parents (n = 1647). Only 40% of the adolescents and 60% of the adults reported to have eaten vegetables for dinner yesterday, the reported frequency of vegetables for dinner were 3.7 and 4.1 times/week in 2002 and 2005, respectively, and 4.8 times/week for parents. Girls ate more than boys, and high SES adolescents ate more than low SES adolescents. There were …
A 14-item Mediterranean diet assessment tool and obesity indexes among high-risk subjects: the PREDIMED trial
2012
Objective Independently of total caloric intake, a better quality of the diet (for example, conformity to the Mediterranean diet) is associated with lower obesity risk. It is unclear whether a brief dietary assessment tool, instead of full-length comprehensive methods, can also capture this association. In addition to reduced costs, a brief tool has the interesting advantage of allowing immediate feedback to participants in interventional studies. Another relevant question is which individual items of such a brief tool are responsible for this association. We examined these associations using a 14-item tool of adherence to the Mediterranean diet as exposure and body mass index, waist circum…
Changes in dietary pattern in 15 year old adolescents following a 4 month dietary intervention with school breakfast – a pilot study
2006
Abstract Background Few studies on impact of meals served in school have been published. However, implications of school meals are an actual issue of both public and political concern in several countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate if breakfast served in a lower secondary school could improve dietary habits and school performance among the students. Methods All students in 10th grade in a lower secondary school, consisting of two school classes, were invited to participate in a controlled study. The students in one class were offered a free breakfast at the beginning of each school day for 4 months, while the students in the second class were controls. Both classes were ed…
The relationship between the level of physical activity, independence in daily activities, and life quality and satisfaction in women over 80 living …
2020
Wprowadzenie. Rosnący poziom opieki zdrowotnej stale zwiększa długość życia ludzi. Rosnąca liczba osób starszych i zaburzenie równowagi w strukturze populacji wpłynie na wiele dziedzin życia, w tym na system ubezpieczeń społecznych, orientację zawodową osób pracujących czy kulturę. Dlatego bardzo ważne jest, aby osoby starsze zachowały nie tylko dobre zdrowie fizyczne, ale także utrzymywały zdolność do samoopieki tak długo, jak to możliwe, pozostały sprawne funkcjonalnie i wyrażały zadowolenie z życia we wszystkich dziedzinach. Cel. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu analizę czynników wpływających na jakość życia w różnych dziedzinach (fizyczna, psychologiczna, społeczna i środowiskowa), takich j…
Is the term 'Mediterranean diet' a misnomer?
2010
Published version of an article from the journal: Public Health Nutrition. Also available from Cambridge University Press: http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s1368980010000480 OBJECTIVE: A greater adherence to what has been labelled the Mediterranean diet is associated with a significant improvement in health status. However, it is unclear what this diet really contains. The objective of the present study is to discuss the contents of the scientific Mediterranean diet. CONCLUSIONS: We argue that the evidence of the health-enhancing properties of the Mediterranean diet is not necessarily based on Mediterranean foods, and that we indeed do not have to eat Mediterranean foods to enjoy the health-promot…
Dietary Microperiodization in Elite Female and Male Runners and Race Walkers During a Block of High Intensity Precompetition Training.
2017
We investigated one week of dietary microperiodization in elite female (n = 23) and male (n = 15) runners and race-walkers by examining the frequency of training sessions and recovery periods conducted with recommended carbohydrate (CHO) and protein availability. Food and training diaries were recorded in relation to HARD (intense or >90min sessions; KEY) versus RECOVERY days (other-than KEY sessions; EASY). The targets for amount and timing of CHO and protein around KEY sessions were based on current nutrition recommendations. Relative daily energy and CHO intake was significantly (p < .05) higher in males (224 ± 26 kJ/kg/d, 7.3 ± 1.4 g/kg/d CHO) than females (204 ± 29 kJ/kg/d, 6.2 ±…
Ernährung und Colonkrebsätiologie: Von der deskriptiven Epidemiologie zur diätetischen Prävention
1987
Der Colonkrebs ist eine der haufigsten Krebserkrankungen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und in den meisten westlichen Landern, in Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika jedoch gewohnlich selten. Aufgrund epidemiologischer Untersuchungen sind verschiedenartige Ernahrungsgewohnheiten die Hauptursache fur diese Unterschiede. Ein hoher Fett- und Eiweiskonsum wurde als Risikofaktor erkannt, wahrend ein hoher Ballaststoffgehalt der Nahrung sich als protektiv erwies. Die existierenden Hypothesen zur Atiologie des Colonkrebses, die vom „Zwei-Stufen-Initiations-Promotionsmodell“ ausgehen, betrachten das Wechselspiel der Einwirkung von Initiatoren, Promotoren und Inhibitoren als entscheidend fur die Real…

Estreñimiento funcional: estudio prospectivo y respuesta al tratamiento
2005
Objetivo: Analizar la prevalencia del estreñimiento funcional asociado o no a encopresis, los factores implicados en su desarrollo y la respuesta al tratamiento. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio prospectivo de 62 niños en el que se incluyó cuestionario estándar (edad de comienzo, hábito higiénico, encopresis, complicaciones, encuesta dietética y factores psicológico-ambientales) y exploraciones clínica y antropométrica. Se definió estreñimiento funcional a la frecuencia de defecación inferior a 3 veces/semana con heces voluminosas o escíbalos, acompañado o no de 2 manchados/semana, sin causa orgánica. El tratamiento incluyó desmitificación, corrección de hábitos y fármacos (lubricantes y senósi…
Le nouveau-né prématuré : un modèle pour l'étude du développement du comportement alimentaire
2008
La naissance prematuree est exemplaire pour comprendre les evenements les plus precoces de la formation des comportements alimentaires. La succession des modes d’alimentation pour subvenir aux besoins nutritifs de l’enfant (alimentation continue ou discontinue ; passive par sonde ou active au sein/biberon ; lait humain ou artificiel ; alimentation par mere ou soignants) ponctue en effet les etapes de la coordination succion-deglutition-respiration et sa capacite a reguler ces evenements. Le contexte particulier des prises alimentaires, peu propice a l’exposition a la variete sensorielle (en particulier chimiosensorielle), croise avec les singularites des pratiques parentales, compose la tra…
