  • Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of the 'HEYMAN' Healthy Lifestyle Program for Young Men: a Pilot Randomised Controlled
    Ashton et al. Nutrition Journal (2017) 16:2 DOI 10.1186/s12937-017-0227-8 RESEARCH Open Access Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the ‘HEYMAN’ healthy lifestyle program for young men: a pilot randomised controlled trial Lee M. Ashton1, Philip J. Morgan2, Melinda J. Hutchesson1, Megan E. Rollo1 and Clare E. Collins1* Abstract Background: In young men, unhealthy lifestyle behaviours can be detrimental to their physical and/or mental health and set them on a negative health trajectory into adulthood. Despite this, there is a lack of evidence to guide development of effective health behaviour change interventions for young men. This study assessed the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the ‘HEYMAN’ (Harnessing Ehealth to enhance Young men’s Mental health, Activity and Nutrition) healthy lifestyle program for young men. Methods: A pilot RCT with 50 young men aged 18–25 years randomised to the HEYMAN intervention (n = 26) or waitlist control (n = 24). HEYMAN was a 3-month intervention, targeted for young men to improve eating habits, activity levels and well-being. Intervention development was informed by a participatory research model (PRECEDE-PROCEED). Intervention components included eHealth support (website, wearable device, Facebook support group), face-to-face sessions (group and individual), a personalised food and nutrient report, home-based resistance training equipment and a portion control tool. Outcomes included: feasibility of research procedures (recruitment, randomisation, data collection and retention) and of intervention components. Generalized linear mixed models estimated the treatment effect at 3-months for the primary outcomes: pedometer steps/day, diet quality, well-being and several secondary outcomes. Results: A 7-week recruitment period was required to enrol 50 young men.

At this distance it takes about three full days for astronauts to travel from the Earth’s surface to land on the moon. Because it is Earth’s closest neighbor, we have been able to gain more knowledge about it than any other body in the Solar System besides the Earth. The moon is also the brightest object in the night sky. Today, astronomers know that the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth. But at the rate it is traveling, about 1.5 inches per year, it will be lighting up our night sky for a long time.

One tablet daily or as directed by physician. 4.3 Contraindications Hypersensitivity to any constituent of the product. 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use L-Carnitine The safety and efficacy of oral L-Carnitine has not been evaluated in patients with renal insufficiency. Chronic administration of high doses of oral L-Carnitine in patients with severely compromised renal function or in ESRD patients on dialysis may result in accumulation of the potentially toxic metabolites, trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), since these metabolites are normally excreted in the urine. Mecobalamin Should be given with caution in patients suffering from folate deficiency. The following warnings and precautions suggested with parent form – vitamin B12 The treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency can unmask the symptoms of polycythemia vera. Megaloblastic anemia is sometimes corrected by treatment with vitamin B12. But this can have very serious side effects. Don’t attempt vitamin B12 therapy without close supervision by healthcare provider. Do not take vitamin B12 if Leber’s disease, a hereditary eye disease.

This is a cross-sectional analysis of 148 young Australian males and females (55% female) aged 18 to 25 years. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire, with responses used to calculate two dietary indices: (i) the Australian Recommended Food Score (ARFS); and (ii) the Fruit And Vegetable VAriety Score (FAVVA). Skin yellowness was measured at three body locations using reflectance spectroscopy. Associations were assessed using Spearman’s correlation coefficients, regression analysis, and agreement using weighted kappa (Kw). Significant, moderate correlations were found between skin yellowness and diet index scores for the ARFS (ρ = 0.30, p < 0.001) and FAVVA score (ρ = 0.39, p < 0.001).

  • Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients
    GUIDELINES ON FOOD FORTIFICATION FORTIFICATION FOOD ON GUIDELINES Interest in micronutrient malnutrition has increased greatly over the last few MICRONUTRIENTS WITH years. One of the main reasons is the realization that micronutrient malnutrition contributes substantially to the global burden of disease. Furthermore, although micronutrient malnutrition is more frequent and severe in the developing world and among disadvantaged populations, it also represents a public health problem in some industrialized countries. Measures to correct micronutrient deficiencies aim at ensuring consumption of a balanced diet that is adequate in every nutrient. Unfortunately, this is far from being achieved everywhere since it requires universal access to adequate food and appropriate dietary habits. Food fortification has the dual advantage of being able to deliver nutrients to large segments of the population without requiring radical changes in food consumption patterns. Drawing on several recent high quality publications and programme experience on the subject, information on food fortification has been critically analysed and then translated into scientifically sound guidelines for application in the field. The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in the design and implementation of appropriate food fortification programmes. They are intended to be a resource for governments and agencies that are currently implementing or considering food fortification, and a source of information for scientists, technologists and the food industry. The guidelines are written from a nutrition and public health perspective, to provide practical guidance on how food fortification should be implemented, monitored and evaluated. They are primarily intended for nutrition-related public health programme managers, but should also be useful to all those working to control micronutrient malnutrition, including the food industry.

  • Does Dietary Melatonin Play a Role in Bone Mineralization?
    Syracuse University SURFACE Theses - ALL January 2017 Does Dietary Melatonin Play a Role in Bone Mineralization? Martha Renee Wasserbauer Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/thesis Part of the Medicine and Health Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Wasserbauer, Martha Renee, "Does Dietary Melatonin Play a Role in Bone Mineralization?" (2017). Theses - ALL. 120. https://surface.syr.edu/thesis/120 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Theses - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT Introduction: Melatonin is generated as a product of normal circadian rhythm and is also is thought to play an important role in maintaining bone mineral density (BMD) by reducing chronic inflammation. Postmenopausal women are at an elevated risk of BMD loss due to declining estrogen and a natural decrease in melatonin synthesis with increasing age. Endogenous melatonin production is largely influenced by exposure to external light cues, but recent research has indicated that serum melatonin may be increased by the consumption of melatonin-rich foods. The purpose of this study was to quantify dietary-derived melatonin and examine its effects on inflammation, BMD, and sleep in a sample of postmenopausal women. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was conducted to examine differences in melatonin consumption, BMD, and sleep in postmenopausal women with chronic and low-level inflammation indicated by level of C-reactive protein (CRP). Data from the years 2005-2010 was included in this study.
