Significance The prevention of weight gain in adulthood is a public health challenge, particularly given the difficulty losing weight. Data on freshmen were collected at beginning and end academic year, baseline blood samples studied to find markers incident gain. A metabolite, erythritol, was elevated year who went weight, fat, abdominal fat compared with stable Erythritol sugar substitute low-calorie sweetener, prior studies claimed no endogenous synthesis. We report previously...
Aim The aim of the Reducing Obesity Using Social Ties (ROBUST) study is to address negative and positive social network processes that may influence weight loss among individuals enrolled in an evidence-based, 24-week lifestyle intervention modeled after Diabetes Prevention Program. Methods This a randomized controlled trial (RCT) tailored network-enhanced compared individual-level (control group) adults (N=132) who self-identify as Black or Hispanic have obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 )....
Objective: We investigated predictors of weight gain in college freshmen. Participants: A longitudinal cohort study followed a representative sample freshmen (N = 264) from 8/2011 to 6/2012. Methods: Repeated measurements anthropometry, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), physical activity, and diet were collected. 9-month using regression models. Results: 172 participants completed follow-up: 75% gained >0.5 kg. Mean change was +2.3 kg (SD 3.2) +2.0 mean adiposity +1.3% 1.6) +0.7% 2.2)...
(1) Background: Prior research in individuals with overweight/obesity and prediabetes or type 2 diabetes has shown that the ingestion of protein-rich food non-starchy vegetables before concentrated carbohydrates (a carbohydrate-last order) led to lower postprandial glucose excursions over 180 min, compared eating same foods reverse order. To expand upon this research, we sought examine feasibility impact order behavioral intervention on tolerance (GT), HbA1c, weight, nutrient intake adults...
Older adults with HIV (OAH) experience more comorbidities and geriatric syndromes than their HIV-negative peers, perhaps because of chronic inflammation. Cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cfmtDNA) released from cells undergoing necrosis-mediated cell death potentially acts as both a mediator marker inflammatory dysregulation. We hypothesized that urinary cfmtDNA would be associated frailty, body composition, fall history in OAH.OAH completed frailty testing, psychosocial survey, composition...
Older people with HIV experience more comorbidities and geriatric syndromes than their HIV-negative peers, perhaps due to residual inflammation despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy. Cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cfmtDNA) released during necrosis-mediated cell death potentially acts as both mediator marker of inflammatory dysregulation. Thus, we evaluated plasma cfmtDNA a potential biomarker syndromes.
Abstract Background American adults have gained weight during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Little is known about how patients who are medically managed for overweight and obesity, including prescribed antiobesity pharmacotherapy, fared. Objective To assess pandemic's effect on weight, food choices, health behaviors in receiving medical treatment or obesity. Methods Adult treated at an urban academic management center between 1 May 2019 2020 were electronically surveyed 23 February March 2021. The...
The transition to college is associated with weight gain in 75% of freshmen, but the relations between behavioral indicators eating and anthropometric outcomes are unclear. In a longitudinal study 264 randomly selected participants, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) was administered summer prior freshman year college. Body composition (truncal total body adiposity via DXA) assessed at baseline; anthropometry measurements [weight, height, waist circumference (WC)] were collected...
BACKGROUND The first year of college is a transition period during which changes in body habitus are common. METHODS A large representative sample freshmen at Cornell University was studied over the year, with repeated assessments anthropometry and composition via dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA). RESULTS Among 184 participants complete data (47% male), 75% gained weight fall semester, mean increase 1 kg greater males (p=0.0067). When comparisons were limited to who weight, change 3.7...
TPS5098 Background: Obesity promotes a chronic inflammatory state that is associated with PC progression. ADT can cause significant side effects including weight gain, accumulation of body fat, insulin resistance, and an increased risk diabetes cardiovascular disease. A WFPBD has been shown to promote loss, decrease inflammation, shift gut microbial profiles microbiome sensitivity. We hypothesize behavior intervention will loss reduction in adiposity overweight/obese patients on biomarkers...
Abstract Introduction: Although soy isoflavones intakes have been associated with reduced breast cancer risk in many populations, there is still uncertainty as to the relationships between these compounds and clinical characteristics, which may implications for prognosis survival. Methods: Included this study were women newly diagnosed, incident (n = 683) without a history of 611) enrolled Roswell Park Cancer Institute's Data Bank BioRepository. Epidemiologic dietary data collected by...
Background Dietary sodium intake is a key determinant of hypertension risk, particularly among African Americans. Effective strategies to reduce are needed meet national nutrition guidelines and current evidence the foods contributing most inform such strategies. Objective To identify major food/beverage categories in large, diverse sample adults living three US metropolitan areas order provide specific, relevant for food‐based recommendations aimed promote healthful diets. Methods In 450...
ABSTRACT Background Evaluating associations of circulating electrolytes with atrial fibrillation (AF) and burden supraventricular arrhythmias can give insights into arrhythmia pathogenesis. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis 6,398 participants the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, ages 71-90, data on serum (magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, chloride, sodium). Prevalence AF was determined from study 12-lead electrocardiograms prior history AF-related...
Abstract Background and Objectives Ordering the ingestion of carbohydrate-rich foods after protein/vegetables (carbohydrate-last food order) significantly reduced postprandial glucose insulin excursions over 180 min in patients with prediabetes type 2 diabetes, compared reverse order (carbohydrate-first) previous research. We implemented a 16-week behavioral intervention, assessing its feasibility impacts on tolerance (GT), HbA1c, weight (wt) adults prediabetes. Methods Participants...
