Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, people were asked to stay at home. Places where interacted such as schools, universities, and cafes closed, all gatherings forbidden. Only stores offering fast-moving consumer goods open, so citizens could purchase food categories. The aim of this cross-sectional study was investigate effect lockdown on eating buying habits consumers in Cyprus Greece, any changes their lifestyles. Methods: An online survey including 1011 participants took place using...
The aim of the present study was to examine effects a high-dose omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids supplementation, in combination with antioxidant vitamins, on cognitive function functional capacity older adults mild impairment (MCI), over 6-month period randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Forty-six MCI (age: 78.8 ± 7.3 years) were randomized 1:1 receive either 20 mL dose formula containing mixture (810 mg Eicosapentaenoic acid 4140 Docosahexaenoic acid) (1800 gamma-Linolenic...
Evidence of the effectiveness zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) on resting metabolic rate (RMR) physical function parameters in people with overweight obesity is scarce, while effects thyroid body composition are still a topic debate controversy. The aim this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to examine hypocaloric diet Se–Zn co-supplementation RMR, function, composition, fitness, functional capacity or obese individuals. Twenty-eight overweight–obese participants (mean BMI:...
ABSTRACT Healthy midlife cognitive function (CF) reduces the risk of later decline. Emerging evidence suggests that chrono‐nutrition may be associated with CF. This cross‐sectional cohort study aimed to examine associations between behaviours and CF in adults aged 45–65 years living Cyprus. Chrono‐nutrition, including misalignments actual preferred eating times, Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence, sleep physical activity were assessed using validated questionnaires. Computerised...
The aim of the current study was to investigate effect glycemic index post-exercise meals on sleep quality and quantity, assess whether those changes could affect next day’s exercise performance. Following a baseline/familiarization phase, 10 recreationally trained male volunteers (23.2 ± 1.8 years) underwent two double-blinded, randomized, counterbalanced crossover trials. In both trials, participants performed sprint interval training (SIT) in evening. Post-exercise, consumed meal with...
In vitro glucose uptake in yeast cell facilitated by Abelmoschus esculentus L. (okra seed) for management of type 2 diabetes was studied. Plant material collected, identified, processed, and stored further use. 80% methanol employed extraction sonicated to release antidiabetic-bioactive component solution filtered, concentrated, freeze-dried, fractionated using standard techniques. Glucose at an initial concentration 5mM/L 10mM/L the crude extract consistent that known drug while 25mM/L...
Abstract Aim Individuals living in a hot environment appear to face increased risk of dehydration. Currently there is not extensive literature on the adolescent population relation hydration. The aim present study was assess hydration status and total water intake (TWI) at school, adolescents environment, investigate association TWI with various subjective feelings. Methods 141 (boys n = 102), age 15–17 years, assessed via urine specific gravity (USG), beginning (07:30 am) end (1:30 pm) one...
The article evaluates the performance of several recently proposed change-point tests applied to conditional variance dynamics and distributions asset returns. These are CUSUM-type for β-mixing processes EDF-based residuals such nonlinear dependent processes. Hence apply class ARCH- SV-type as well data-driven volatility estimators using high-frequency data. It is shown that some substantially improve power structural break tests, especially detecting changes in tail distribution. Similarly...
<i>Background and Aims:</i> There is growing evidence that excess body weight fat levels may lead to various diseases. A low-calorie diet has been found reduce fat; however, 95% of patients regain the within a short period time. The aim this study was investigate effects reduced-calorie with without exercise on composition profile as well evaluate maintenance loss 18 weeks after intervention had concluded. <i>Methods:</i> Two hundred six overweight and/or obese women...
Background and Objectives: Asthma constitutes a constant, prolonged, inflammation-related pulmonary disorder in childhood with serious public health concerns. Several maternal risk factors can enhance the prevalence of its development this stage life; however, currently available data remain contradictory and/or inconsistent. We aim to evaluate potential impacts mothers' sociodemographic, anthropometric prenatal perinatal on developing asthma pre-school children. Materials Methods: This is...
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese children. One hundred twenty-five subjects aged 11-12 years old participated study. Anthropometric biochemical indices were measured, including lipid profile, blood glucose, serum insulin, ultrasound. Forty-four children (58.6%) found have MS. Insulin resistance present 78 (62.4%) Patients with MS more likely NAFLD (P < 0.001). Children had...
Women's knowledge of the nutritional guidelines during pregnancy can affect health and status both mother child. Having good information related to maternal dietary intake healthy lifestyles is therefore great importance. However, there limited published research that demonstrates pregnant women's in Lebanon.
Background: Obesity and related health challenges remain significant concerns in Cyprus Greece. Mindful eating (ME) has emerged as a behavioral approach to address these issues, yet its relationship with BMI, vitamin D levels, sleep duration Mediterranean populations is underexplored. Objectives: This study aimed examine associations between ME subcategories (Awareness, Distraction, Disinhibition, Emotional, External Cues), among Cypriot Greek adults across two cohorts. Methods: A...
Aim. To determine whether food allergy affects overall dietary intake and choices in Cypriot primary school children. Methods. As part of the first epidemiological study Cyprus on children, two 24-hour recalls (one from a week one weekend day) twenty-eight allergic children (21 girls) thirty healthy (20 aged 6-11 years old, were analysed compared regarding their macro- micronutrient content, meal distribution. Results. Significant differences between subgroups estimated total energy...
