The RCTs predominantly evaluated interventions that aimed to change both diet and physical activity behaviors (n = 84) and were delivered in-person (n = 85). Conclusions: This scoping review identified an increasing volume of research over time undertaken to support women of childbearing age to prevent and treat overweight and obesity. It highlights, however, that little research is being undertaken to support the young adult female population unrelated to pregnancy or preconception.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 12:08:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31352 Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:04:27 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41940 n = 478) or without (n = 8134) a self-reported diagnosis of PCOS. Main outcome measures were depression, anxiety and perceived stress measured using validated scales. The χ² and t tests were used to assess differences between groups. Univariable and multivariable regression were performed to determine factors contributing to each outcome. Results: Women reporting PCOS, compared with women not reporting PCOS, reported higher prevalence of depression (27.3% v. 18.8%), anxiety symptoms (50% v. 39.2%) and greater score for perceived stress (1.01 ± 0.03 v. 0.88 ± 0.01). After adjusting for body mass index, infertility and socio-demographic factors, women with PCOS were still more likely to be depressed, anxious and to have a higher level of perceived stress. There was a high-level mediation effect of stress between PCOS and both depression and anxiety. Conclusion: Compared with women not reporting PCOS, women reporting PCOS have increased depression, anxiety and perceived stress. Stress may play a role in the association between PCOS, depression and anxiety. Further studies should consider assessment and management of stress in PCOS as it may be relevant for understanding the aetiology and treatment of psychological distress.]]> Tue 16 Aug 2022 10:54:17 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31420 P < .001], 9% for women [P < .001]) during the peanut phase. Body weight was 0.5 ± 0.2 kg (P = .010) greater during the peanut phase. Snacking occasions increased during the peanut phase (53% for men [P = .001] , 14% for women [P = .01]). Servings of other snack foods did not change during the peanut phase (P = .6) compared with control. However, sex-specific analysis revealed that men and women consumed less savory (P < .001) and sweet (P = .01) non-core snacks, respectively, during the peanut phase. Despite increased energy intake and snacking frequency, peanuts may improve the diet through sex-specific reductions of non-core foods; for optimal energy balance, peanuts should be substituted rather than added to the diet.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:43:54 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18215 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46290 Mon 14 Nov 2022 16:30:51 AEDT ]]>
