Assessment of diet and physical activity their determinants still remains a demanding task, especially when the objective is to evaluate efficacy lifestyle interventions. In context Feel4Diabetes study (a European community based intervention in families with school aged children at high risk developing diabetes), we aimed develop questionnaires for assessment food-frequency eating behaviors, sedentary behaviors both parents school-aged questionnaire overall family's energy balance-related...
BACKGROUND: Patients with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) can suffer from poor parameters through lack of adherence to requisite lifestyle changes in dietary and physical activity.Usually, interventions MetS patients are infrequent face-to-face consultations.The low frequency or absence counseling interviews leads a shortage information motivation adhere recommended changes.Telephone could be an additional low-cost tool for effective interventions.AIM: To evaluate effectiveness telephone...
Self-efficacy has been found to have a direct relation with self-care in diabetes. Several tools developed and used for evaluating self-efficacy of diabetic patients, the most widely being Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES). The aim present study was translate, culturally adapt, validate Greek DMSES (GR-DMSES) order it be ATTICA pilot SmartCare EU-funded project.Using standard procedures, original version translated adapted into Greek. Content validity assessed by an expert...
Our aim was to investigate associations between dietary factors and high molecular weight (HMW) as well total adiponectin in a sample of apparently healthy adult Mediterranean women.Two hundred twenty women were enrolled this study. Anthropometric body composition measurements performed all subjects. Fasting blood samples taken; HMW concentrations measured. Food intake evaluated using 3-day food records. The frequency consumption several groups approximately quantified terms number servings...
Abstract Objective: Ultra-processed foods (UPF) and minimally processed (MPF) consumption are differentially connected to adiposity possibly body composition. Phase angle (PhA) originates from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is cellular health. This study the first investigate associations between UPF/MPF PhA. Design: A cross-sectional was conducted. Anthropometrical BIA were performed. The Hellenic Physical Activity Questionnaire used for physical activity evaluation, while a...
Abstract Background The present study aimed to assess micronutrient intake among Greek adults and identify the main food sources that contribute it. Methods Food consumption data from 2389 participants in Hellenic National Nutrition Health Survey (HNNHS), collected with 24‐h recalls, was used calculate intakes. Usual nutrient estimated according Cancer Institute method. Nutrient adequacy using average requirement (EAR) cut‐point method, when available, or adequate otherwise. probability...
Abstract Background The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of European Feel4Diabetes intervention, promoting a healthy lifestyle, on physical activity and its correlates among families at risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (based Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) in Belgium. Methods intervention involved three components: family, school community component, with family component consisting 6 counseling sessions risk. Main outcomes were objectively measured levels subjectively correlates....
Because of the increased burden cardiovascular disease (CVD), country specific risk prediction models to forecast future CVD events and mortality are recommended, for primary prevention. The aim this study was recalibrate HellenicSCORE, accurately estimate 10-year Greek adults. Data from Hellenic National Nutrition Health Survey (HNNHS) were used (N = 1012; 37.9% males). Information on age, smoking, systolic blood pressure (SBP), total cholesterol adults >40 years age derived following...
University students face challenges impacting psychology and dietary choices. The present work examined the association between eating attitudes, stress, anxiety, depression to body mass index (BMI) fat percentage in Dietetics students. Respondents completed Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire, Hellenic Physical Activity Questionnaire (HPAQ). Anthropometry bioimpedance analysis were performed. EAT-26 score was...
Skeletal muscle is associated with cardiometabolic health. The appendicular skeletal index (aSMI) represents the mass "corrected" for height and constitutes a clinically applicable feature of sarcopenia. relation aSMI dietary habits not clear, especially in young adults. present pilot study aimed to investigate relationship between Mediterranean diet adherence A cross-sectional 151 university students was conducted. Anthropometry bioimpedance analysis (TANITA-MC780) were performed....
