ABSTRACT Osteoporosis and osteopenia are increasingly prevalent conditions among older adults. Not only do the fractures associated with poor bone health have significant consequences for individual, but also their economic impact is placing increasing financial burden on governments society. This study aimed to determine direct cost of osteoporosis, osteopenia, Australians aged 50 years in 2017. uses previous Australian data incidence prevalence osteoporosis together recent service...
Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) require a long-term dietary strategy for blood glucose management and may benefit from time-restricted eating (TRE, where the duration between first last energy intake is restricted to 8–10 h/day). We aimed determine feasibility of TRE individuals T2D. Participants T2D (HbA1c >6.5 <9%, window >12 h/day) were recruited pre-post, non-randomised intervention consisting 2-week Habitual period establish baseline intake, followed by 4-weeks during...
The limited Australian measures to reduce population sodium intake through national initiatives targeting in the food supply have not been evaluated. aim was, thus, assess if there has a change salt and discretionary use between 2011 2014 state of Victoria, Australia. Adults drawn from sample provided 24 h urine collections reported 2014. final included 307 subjects who participated both surveys, 291 only, 135 only. Analysis adjustment for age, gender, metropolitan area, weekend collection...
In adults, a diet low in sodium and high potassium helps reduce blood pressure risk of cardiovascular disease (1) . Whether this same relationship exists among children is less clear. There some evidence to indicate that reducing intake favourable for maintaining healthy levels across childhood (2) However, it not clear how during influences whether sex or body mass index moderates any effects. The effects the sodium-to-potassium ratio on children’s have been generally inconsistent (3) It...
Clinical prediction models are commonly utilized in clinical practice to screen high-risk patients. This enables healthcare professionals initiate interventions aimed at delaying or preventing adverse medical events. Nevertheless, the majority of these focus on calculating probabilities risk scores for information can pose challenges patients comprehend, potentially causing delays their treatment decision-making process. Our paper presents a statistical methodology and protocol utilization...
Low iron intake can lead to deficiency, which result in impaired health and iron-deficiency anemia. A mobile phone app, combining successful dietary strategies increase bioavailable with for behavior change, such as goal setting, monitoring, feedback, resources knowledge acquisition, was developed the aim premenopausal women.
Iron and zinc are found in similar foods absorption of both may be affected by food compounds, thus biochemical iron status related. This cross-sectional study aimed to: (1) describe dietary intakes zinc; (2) investigate associations between intakes; (3) a sample premenopausal women aged 18–50 years who were recruited Melbourne Sydney, Australia. Usual assessed using 154-item frequency questionnaire (n = 379). was serum ferritin hemoglobin, (standardized to 08:00 collection), presence...
Falls among the elderly are common and characteristics may differ between injurious non-injurious falls. Among 887 older Australian women followed for 1.6 years, 32% fell annually. Only 8.5% resulted in fracture and/or hospital admission. The of those falls indistinguishable from not coming to medical attention.The precipitants environment all occurring a large cohort Caucasian were categorised by injury status determine if differed falls.Among (70+ years), ascertained using monthly postcard...
Background The aim was to assess iron status and dietary intake in a sample of premenopausal female regular new blood donors. Study Design Methods Premenopausal women donors were invited participate. Blood samples analyzed for serum ferritin hemoglobin. An checklist assessed intake. Donors classified as or Results Twenty‐one (mean [ SD ] age, 28.6 [6.0] years; body mass index BMI ], 25.6 [4.5] kg /m 2 ) 172 29.4 [5.5] , 24.7 [3.8] participated. Fifty percent 24% had depleted stores (serum...
Abstract We describe a statistical method protocol to use Weibull accelerated failure time (AFT) model predict health-related event. This prediction is quite common in engineering reliability research but rarely used for medical predictions such as survival time. A worked example how perform the using published dataset included.
From 2015 to 2020 a state-wide salt-reduction initiative was launched in Victoria, Australia, including an awareness campaign focused on parents with children <18 years of age. To evaluate the impact salt-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors (KABs) we have assessed trends KAB pre- post-delivery parents, as well within wider adult population. Cross-sectional surveys adults aged 18–65 were undertaken (2015: n = 821 parents; 1527 general sample) post-campaign (2019: 935 1747 sample)....
Abstract The standard for assessing dietary sodium intake is to measure 24‐hour urine sodium. On average, 93% of daily excreted over 24‐hours. Expense and difficulties in obtaining complete collections have led the measurement concentration spot single‐void samples, using predictive equations estimate Although multiple been developed, addition having an average bias, all overestimate at lower levels underestimate higher One least biased estimating INTERSALT equation, which incorporates a...
The relationship between dietary intake, circulating hepcidin and iron status in free-living premenopausal women has not been explored. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify determinants of stores after accounting for blood loss determine whether intake predicts independently a sample Australian women. Three hundred thirty eight aged 18–50 years were recruited. Total food sources determined via frequency questionnaire; the magnitude menstrual losses was estimated by self-report;...
Abstract Objective To assess if there is a difference in salt intake (24 h urine collection and dietary recall) sources of (Na) on weekdays weekend days. Design A cross-sectional study adults who provided one 24 telephone-administered recall. Setting Community-dwelling living the State Victoria, Australia. Subjects Adults ( n 598) participated health survey (53·5 % women; mean age 57·1 (95 CI 56·2, 58·1) years). Results Mean CI) (dietary was 6·8 (6·6, 7·1) g/d urinary excretion 8·1 (7·8,...
