El desayuno escolar; una intervención educativa en alimentación y nutrición saludable
2017
El Desayuno Completo y Saludable es básico para el crecimiento además favorece un mayor rendimiento físico e intelectual durante la mañana. Dicho Desayuno debe ser siempre: Lácteos, Cereales, Frutas y sus derivados, sin olvidarnos de nuestro Aceite de Oliva. Saltarse o realizar un desayuno de mala calidad es un factor que, además, origina sobrepeso y obesidad infantil. Por ello las Organizaciones Promotoras de la Salud fomentan la intervención de hábitos saludables en Alimentación y Nutrición. Siendo uno de los objetivos este Desayuno Completo y Saludable el cual desde la escuela debe promocionarse, sobre todo fomentando la ingesta de fruta. En base a lo expuesto nuestro trabajo diseña una …
Effects of different circuit training protocols on body mass, fat mass and blood parameters among overweight adults
2015
The benefits of regular exercise are known for a long time, but the mechanisms underlying the exercise mode recommendations for specific chronic cardiovascular diseases remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of different circuit training protocols in sedentary overweight adults.
2019
The etiology of overweight and obesity is a mixture of genetic determinants, environmental factors and health behaviors. Especially intra- and interpersonal inactive behaviors, here termed convenience seems to play an important role. The objective was to develop and validate the Convenience Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) to assess convenience-related items and their association with overweight and obesity in a large population. A sample of 1233 subjects aged 18 to 82 years from six population groups took part in a self-administered questionnaire. Test-retest reliability was estimated and the independent association between convenience-related items and overweight and obesity was investigated.…
Genetic risk profiles for a childhood with severely overweight
2013
Summary What is already known about this subject Genome-wide association studies have identified susceptibility loci, conferring only small effects to obesity. We selected 12 from the most accepted susceptibility genes to overweight, which have been corroborated in different populations and series of thousands of adult individuals. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms variants can have a cumulative effect on common forms of obesity, to create a genetic risk score. What this study adds We concentrated on 109 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in 12 loci previously reported in association to body mass index at genome-wide significant level, for individuals of European ancestry. To iden…
A Conceptual Map of “Nutrition”: Content Analysis of Uses in Romanian Mass Media and Scientific Articles Between 2014 and 2017
2020
The National Institute of Statistics revealed that in Romania, in 2014, 46.4% of the population over 18 years were overweight and 9.3% were obese. Moreover, there is no lowering of these rates insight. The current corporeal state is put on the lifestyle that influences eating habits and, in consequence, nutrition (nutriție). In this chapter, we provide a first glimpse of the place that nutrition has in Romania by a conceptual map made based on the data gathered through content analysis. The analysis included all the Romanian articles from media and scientific journals, published between 2014 and 2017.
Behavioral and psychological flexibility in eating regulation among overweight adults
2016
Weight-loss programs are often based on self-control techniques and they commonly fail in long-term weight management. Identifying psychological processes that explain eating behaviors can help to develop more effective interventions for long-term weight management. This research examined how behavioral and psychological flexibility are related to eating regulation and weight management in overweight adults. The first goal was to study the effects of flexible vs. rigid restraint of eating on weight-loss maintenance and well-being. The second goal was to examine whether psychological flexibility and mindfulness, independently and together, explain intuitive eating regulation. The third goal …
Standing time and daily proportion of sedentary time are associated with pain-related disability in a one month accelerometer measurement in adults w…
2022
Abstract Objectives: The association between the subjective experience of pain-related disability (PRD) and device-measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) in overweight and obese adults is not well known. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of pain markers with accelerometer-measured SB duration and different intensities of PA among physically inactive middle-aged adults with overweight or obesity. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis included 72 subjects (27 men) with mean age of 57.9 (SD 6.7) years and mean BMI of 31.6 (SD 4.1) kg/m². SB and standing time (ST), breaks in sedentary time, light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous phys…
Influence of Geographical Area and Living Setting on Children's Weight Status, Motor Coordination, and Physical Activity
2022
This study was aimed (i) to examine the effect of living setting (rural vs. urban), geographical area (North vs. Center vs. South), and gender (boys vs. girls) on weight status, motor coordination, and physical activity (PA) level of Italian school-age children; (ii) to examine differences in the neighborhood walkability of different school areas from different geographical areas and living settings; and (iii) to examine whether motor coordination, PA level, geographical areas, living setting, neighborhood walkability, and gender could predict children's weight status. We assessed anthropometric parameters, gross motor coordination, and PA level in 1,549 children aged between 8 and 13 years…
Etäteknologian vaikuttavuus vyötärön ympärysmittaan ja rasvaprosenttiin liikuntaa sisältävissä painonpudotusinterventioissa : järjestelmällinen kirja…
2017
Teknologian vaikuttavuutta painonhallintaan on tutkittu paljon, mutta tulokset ovat olleet ristiriitaisia (Hutchesson ym. 2015). Painonpudotustutkimuksissa tulosmuuttujina on yleensä ollut kehon massa tai painoindeksi. Nämä eivät kuitenkaan erottele lihaksiin liittyvää massaa rasvaan liittyvästä massasta. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia etäteknologian vaikuttavuutta vyötärön ympärysmittaan ja rasvaprosenttiin liikuntaa sisältävissä painonpudotusinterventiossa verrattuna tavanomaiseen hoitoon. Aineistoa kerättiin kahdeksasta tietokannasta: EMBASE, CENTRAL, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PEDro, WoS sekä OT-Seeker. Haku tehtiin ajalta 1/2000 – 1/2016 hyödyntäen Cochrane-katsausten …

The aim of the present study was to investigate overweight adolescents’ self-perceived weight, body dissatisfaction, and weight control behaviour during 1994–2010 in Finland.Methods. The country-representative, cross-sectional data of 15-year olds were obtained from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study, conducted in 1994 (; males: 48%), 1998 (; 49%), 2002 (; 50%), 2006 (; 47%), and 2010 (; 48%).Results. The majority of overweight boys (62–69%) and girls (89–100%) assessed themselves as too fat, and their body image was lower than in nonoverweight adolescents. The highest pre…
