Skipping breakfast has been linked with poor diet quality, higher BMI and adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. This study aimed to determine the prevalence correlates of skipping among Australian children adolescents.A total 1,592 2-17-year-olds completed two 24-hour recalls, collected via face-to-face telephone interview, in 2011-12 National Nutrition Physical Activity Survey. Breakfast was an eating occasion ≥210kJ named as 'breakfast' by participant. Child, household adult were reported....
Background:Gait impairments are emerging predictors of dementia. However, few studies have examined whether gait predicts decline in specific cognitive domains. Objective:This study aimed to determine speed or other characteristics were associated with cognitiv e domains and the role ApoE4 genotype modifying these associations. Methods:Participants (n = 410; mean age 72.0±7.0 years) randomly selected from electoral roll. At baseline, was assessed using GAITRite walkway. Gait variability step...
Abstract Background To investigate whether there are bi-directional associations between anxiety and mood disorders body mass index (BMI) in a cohort of young adults. Methods We analysed data from the 2004–2006 (baseline) 2009–2011 (follow-up) waves Childhood Determinants Adult Health study. Lifetime DSM-IV were retrospectively diagnosed with Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Potential mediators individually added to base models assess their potential role as mediator...
Purpose: Repetitive task practice after stroke is important to improve function, yet adherence exercise low. The aim of this study was determine whether using the internet, a tablet application, and chair sensor that connected therapist feasible in monitoring progressing functional at home.Methods: Ten participants with completed 4-week sit-to-stand technology home (ACTRN12616000051448). A remotely monitored adherence, progressed goals, provided feedback via app. Measures feasibility...
Gait and cognition decline with advancing age, presage the onset of dementia. Yet, relative trajectories gait cognitive in aging are poorly understood-particularly among those motoric risk (MCR) syndrome. This study compared changes simple complex performance cognition, as a function age MCR.We examined functions 1 095 LonGenity participants (mean = 75.4 ± 6.7 years) up to 12 years annual follow-up. Participants were Ashkenazi Jewish descent, free dementia, ambulatory, had 12.2% MCR...
falls share risk factors with cognitive decline but whether predict decline, pre-dementia syndromes and dementia is poorly understood.this study aimed to examine if are associated in specific domains the of Motoric Cognitive Risk (MCR) syndrome dementia.cross-sectional study.in older people (age 80.6 ± 5.3 years) free at baseline, number (none, one or multiple) during year before enrolment first follow-up (exposure) were recorded. Decline functions (global cognition, episodic verbal memory,...
Regulatory agencies are advancing the use of systematic approaches to collect patient experience data, including patient-reported outcomes (PROs), in cancer clinical trials inform regulatory decision-making. Due part clinician under-reporting symptomatic adverse events, there is a growing recognition that evaluation treatment tolerability should include experience, both terms overall side effect impact and events. Methodologies around implementation, analysis, interpretation "patient"...
Abstract Objective To examine trends of ED presentations with a mental health (MH) diagnosis in Australia and its jurisdictions by diagnostic group between 2004–05 2016–17. Methods Data comprised principal ICD‐10‐AM F00–F99 (MH dx ) captured within the National Non‐Admitted Patient Emergency Department Care Database . Trends absolute number rates MH per 10 000 population were assessed as differences (x‐fold) annual growth (average compound). Results Increased presentation observed for most...
This article reports on a survey of more than 2,300 students and 250 staff members conducted at the University Tasmania as part wider review e-learning practice, demand capacity which aims to improve planning, decision-making quality online experience staff. Data was collected access technology, technology usage patterns, experiences with university. Respondents were also asked for comments their experiences. Results from quantitative component are in line findings similar recent...
The mechanisms explaining the positive relationship between television (TV) viewing and body mass index (BMI) are unclear. 'Mindless eating' 'physical activity displacement' theories have been suggested, but not tested longitudinally among young adults. This study aimed to determine whether longitudinal associations adults' TV BMI explained by changes in TV-related food beverage consumption (FBC) and/or leisure-time physical (LTPA) over 5 years adults.A cohort of Australian adults (n = 1068)...
Abstract Background Opioid analgesic use and associated adverse events have increased over the last 15 years, including in Australia. Whether this is with chronic pain prevalence Australian population unknown. This study aimed to estimate (1) of analgesia by age sex; (2) severity (3) distribution recent those using sex. Methods used cross‐sectional, nationally representative data collected Bureau Statistics 2011 2012 National Health Survey. A total n = 20 426 participants were included an...
Background: The measurement of health state utility values (HSUVs) for a representative sample Australian people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has not previously been performed. Objectives: Our main aim was to quantify the HSUVs different levels disease severities in MS. Method: were calculated by employing ‘judgement-based’ method that essentially creates EQ-5D-3L profiles based on WHOQOL-100 responses and then applying weights each level dimension. A stepwise linear regression used evaluate...
