In conclusion, a long-term healthy diet combined with MVM or fish oil was associated with a lower incidence of CVD. Participants who maintained a healthy diet and used calcium supplements were associated with a lower incidence of obesity.

No associations were found between ACC and empowerment or glycemic outcomes.

Outcomes were assessed pre-intervention (T0), during the intervention (T1), and 6 months post-intervention (T2). Results indicated a significant increase in nutrition knowledge for children attending schools that had participated in both programs, compared to control schools (p < 0.01), but no significant increase in FV intake.

Compared to placebo, resveratrol improved overall cognitive performance (P < 0.001) and attenuated the decline in CVR to cognitive stimuli (P = 0.038). The latter effect was associated with reduction of fasting blood glucose (r = −0.339, P = 0.023).

Furthermore, an qRT-PCR analysis of NF-KB pathway components and inflammatory biomarkers indicated that CGA alone was not effective in reducing the mRNA expression of any of the tested inflammatory marker genes, except TLR-4. However, co-administration of CGA with curcumin, potentiated the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin. Curcumin and CGA together reduced the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines [TNF-a (~88%) and IL-6 (~99%)], and COX-2 (~92%), possibly by suppression of NF-KB (~78%), IKB-β-kinase (~60%) and TLR-4 receptor (~72%) at the mRNA level.

This study investigated the associations between the presence of the KCNJ2-rs236514 variant (A) allele, diet quality indices, and mild cognitive impairment evaluated by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), in a secondary cross-sectional analysis of data from the Retirement Health & Lifestyle Study. Data from 524 elderly Australians (≥65y) were analyzed, using standard least squares regression and nominal logistic regression modeling, with demographic adjustments applied. Results showed that the presence of the KCNJ2-A allele is associated with increased proportions of participants scoring in the range indicative of mild or more severe cognitive impairment (MMSE score of ≤26) in the total cohort, and males. These associations remained statistically significant after adjusting for age, sex, and diet quality indices. The absence of association between the KCNJ2-A allele and cognitive impairment in women may be related to their higher diet quality scores in all indices. The potential link between sour taste genotype and cognitive impairment scores may be due to both oral and extra-oral functions of sour taste receptors.

ARFS was significantly lower with each additional self-reported chronic health condition (β = −1.4; 95%CI −2.3, −0.4). Our results indicate that diet quality as defined by the ARFS was classified as ‘getting there’ and that age, living arrangements and chronic health conditions, but not rurality, influenced diet quality in a sample of Australian adults.]]> Sun 07 May 2023 09:44:36 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44132 Sat 08 Oct 2022 12:36:21 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38154 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:46:57 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51255 Mon 28 Aug 2023 12:42:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37802 n = 619). Red blood cell folate, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), and plasma Hcy levels were determined, and genotyping for 21 folate and vitamin D-related variants was performed. Erythemal dose rate accumulated over six-weeks (6W-EDR) and four-months (4M-EDR) prior to clinics were calculated as a measure of environmental UVR. Multivariate analyses found interactions between 6W-EDR and 25(OH)D levels (p_interaction = 0.002), and 4M-EDR and MTHFD1-rs2236225 (p_interaction = 0.006) in predicting Hcy levels. The association between 6W-EDR and Hcy levels was found only in subjects within lower 25(OH)D quartiles (<33.26 ng/mL), with the association between 4M-EDR and Hcy occurring only in subjects carrying the MTHFD1-rs2236225 variant. 4M-EDR, 6W-EDR, and MTHFD1-rs2236225 were also independent predictors of Hcy. Findings highlight nutrient-environment and gene-environment interactions that could influence the risk of Hcy-related outcomes.]]> Mon 26 Apr 2021 11:34:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44867 Mon 24 Oct 2022 11:10:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52711 Mon 23 Oct 2023 16:11:42 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39179 Mon 23 May 2022 16:16:27 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39175 Mon 23 May 2022 14:54:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42352 0.2).

A 20% random stratified sample of audio-recorded consultations (control n = 196; intervention n = 194) was coded by trained, independent, raters using a study specific checklist and the Behaviour Change Counselling Inventory. Intervention adherence and competence were examined relative to apriori benchmarks. Differentiation was examined by comparing control and intervention sessions (adherence, competence, non-specific factors, and dose), via multiple linear regression, logistic regression, or mixed-models. Results: Achievement of adherence benchmarks varied. The majority of sessions attained competence. Post-training consultations were clearly distinct from routine care regarding motivational and behavioural, but not generic, skills. Conclusions: Although what level of fidelity is "good enough" remains an important research question, findings support the real-world feasibility of integrating EAT into dietetic consultations with HNC patients and provide a foundation for interpreting treatment effects.]]> Mon 09 May 2022 16:20:26 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38520 Mon 09 May 2022 16:19:34 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51407 Mon 04 Sep 2023 14:51:07 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51401 Mon 04 Sep 2023 14:50:22 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55458 Mon 03 Jun 2024 08:51:54 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55449 13.6 μg/L) were associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer (univariable: HR = 3.33; 95% CI: 1.23-9.00; p = 0.02; multivariable: HR = 2.10; 95% CI: 0.73-6.01; p = 0.17).

Methods: Linear mixed models estimated group-by-time effects for all dietary outcomes, measured by food frequency questionnaires. Cohen's d determined effect sizes, while correlation tests determined associations in father-child dietary intakes. Results: For children, medium group-by-time effects sizes were identified at 10 weeks for sodium intake (d = 0.38) and percentage energy from core foods (d = 0.43), energy-dense, nutrient-poor (EDNP) foods (d = 0.43) and prepacked snacks (d = 0.45). These findings were sustained at 9 months follow-up. For fathers, medium to large, group-by-time effect sizes were identified at 10 weeks for energy intake (d = 0.55), sodium intake (d = 0.64) and percentage energy from core foods (d = 0.49), EDNP foods (d = 0.49), and confectionary (d = 0.36). For all of these dietary variables, except sodium, effects were sustained at 9 months. Moderate to strong associations existed in father-child dietary intakes for some of the dietary variables. Conclusions: Although further research is required, this study provides preliminary support for targeting fathers as agents of change to improve dietary intakes in their preschool-aged children.]]> Fri 25 Mar 2022 15:52:33 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48594 Fri 23 Aug 2024 07:17:36 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40335 Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:44:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:56034 Fri 19 Jul 2024 12:31:41 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53130 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:58:06 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40052 n = 126, 72%) reported that they have been asked by individuals about addictive eating.
