Dietary Diversity Indicators and Their Associations with Dietary Adequacy and Health Outcomes : A Systematic Scoping Rev...
Dietary diversity has long been recognized as a key component of diet quality and many dietary diversity indicators (DDIs) have been developed. This systematic scoping review aimed to present a comprehensive inventory of DDIs and summarize evidence linking DDIs and dietary adequacy or health outcomes in adolescents and adults. Two search strategies...
The association between body weight dissatisfaction with unhealthy eating behaviors and lack of physical activity in ado...
Published in Journal of child health care : for professionals working with children in the hospital and community
A systematic review examined the association between body weight dissatisfaction with unhealthy eating behaviors and lack of physical activity in adolescents, since it represents an alert to adolescent's health and well-being. Six electronic databases and gray literature were systematically searched from January 1980 to December 2018. A total of 11...
ASAS-NANP SYMPOSIUM: Applications of machine learning for livestock body weight prediction from digital images
Published in Journal of Animal Science
Monitoring, recording, and predicting livestock body weight (BW) allows for timely intervention in diets and health, greater efficiency in genetic selection, and identification of optimal times to market animals because animals that have already reached the point of slaughter represent a burden for the feedlot. There are currently two main approach...
Physical Fitness and Motor Competence in Upper Austrian Elementary School Children—Study Protocol and Preliminary Findin...
Published in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
Motor competence and physical fitness are key components for the promotion of an active and healthy lifestyle. Poor motor competence and low physical fitness in children, therefore, are a major threat to future public health. Even though the assessment of physical fitness and motor competence per se does not enhance these entities, fitness tests ca...
The Effect of Curcumin Supplementation on Anthropometric Measures among Overweight or Obese Adults.
Published in Nutrients
Over the past decades, the worldwide prevalence of obesity has dramatically increased, thus posing a serious public health threat. Obesity is associated with the development of comorbid conditions and psychological disorders. Several lifestyle interventions have been proposed to tackle obesity; however, long-term maintenance of these interventions ...
Functional and Neurochemical Identification of Ghrelin Receptor (GHSR)-Expressing Cells of the Lateral Parabrachial Nucl...
Published in Frontiers in Neuroscience
The lateral parabrachial nucleus (lPBN), located in the pons, is a well-recognized anorexigenic center harboring, amongst others, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-expressing neurons that play a key role. The receptor for the orexigenic hormone ghrelin (the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, GHSR) is also abundantly expressed in the lPB...
Brain More Resistant to Energy Restriction Than Body: A Systematic Review
Published in Frontiers in Neuroscience
The gluco-lipostatic theory and its modern variants assume that blood glucose and energy stores are controlled in closed-loop feedback processes. The Selfish Brain theory is based on the same assumptions, but additionally postulates that the brain, as an independent energy compartment, self-regulates its energy concentration with the highest priori...
Investigation of Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulants and the Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients Weighing ≥120...
Published in Journal of pharmacy practice
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) present a favorable alternative to warfarin based on the decreased burden of monitoring and fewer drug and food interactions. Although studied in the general population, limited clinical data justifying efficacy in patients weighing ≥120 kg present concern for using DOACs in this specific population. The purpose w...
Geomagnetic field absence reduces adult body weight of a migratory insect by disrupting feeding behavior and appetite re...
Published in Insect science
The geomagnetic field (GMF) is well documented for its essential role as a cue used in animal orientation or navigation. Recent evidence indicates that the absence of GMF (mimicked by the near-zero magnetic field, NZMF) can trigger stress-like responses such as reduced body weight, as we have previously shown in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata l...
