The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the construct validity a Nutrition Quotient (NQ) for children. In previous report (Kang, et al., 2012), food behavior checklist children’s NQ, consisting 19 items, grouped into 5-factor structure according exploratory factor analysis: balance, diversity, moderation, regularity, practice. study, NQ assessed using confirmatory analysis. Elementa ry school students (n = 1,393) from six large cities completed test. Indicator tests suggested...
Instant noodles are widely consumed in Asian countries.The Korean population the largest quantity of instant world 2008.However, few studies have investigated relationship between and nutritional status Koreans.The objective this study was to examine association noodle consumption food nutrient intake adults.We used dietary data 6,440 subjects aged 20 years older who participated National Health Nutrition Examination Survey III.The average age consumers (INC) 36.2 that non-instant (non-INC)...
Epidemiological evidence of the effects dietary sodium, calcium, and potassium, anthropometric indexes on blood pressure is still inconsistent.To investigate relationship between factors or hypertension risk, we examined association systolic diastolic (SBP DBP) with potassium intakes in 19~49-year-olds using data from Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) III.Total 2,761 young middle aged adults (574 19~29 years 2,187 30~49 years) were selected KNHANES III.General...
Abstract Background Typhoid fever contributes to approximately 135 000 deaths annually. Achievable improvements in household water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) combined with vaccination using typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) may be an effective preventive strategy. However, little is known about how improved WASH interact lower the risk of typhoid. Methods A total 61 654 urban Bangladeshi children aged 9 months <16 years, residing 150 clusters a baseline population 205 760...
We developed a novel type of Meju starter culture using single and combined extracts Allium sativum (garlic clove), Nelumbo nucifera (lotus leaves), Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo leaves) to improve the quality functionality Meju-based fermented products. samples with plant (10 mg/ml) showed phenolic contents 11.4-31.6 mg/g (gallic acid equivalents). Samples clove, lotus leaves, ginkgo leaves their combination) strongly inhibited tyrosinase, α-glucosidase, elastase activities by 36.43-64.34%,...
Modest improvements in household water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) typhoid vaccination can reduce risk endemic settings. However, empiric evaluation of their combined impact is lacking. A total 62,756 persons residing 80 clusters a Kolkata slum were allocated randomly 1:1 to either the Vi polysaccharide (ViPS) vaccine or hepatitis (Hep A) vaccine. Surveillance was conducted for 2 years before after vaccination. We classified households as having "better" "not better" WASH, calculated...
Typhoid fever remains a significant health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, with incidence rates of >100 cases per 100,000 person-years observation. Despite the prequalification safe and effective typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCV), some uncertainties remain around future demand. Real-life effectiveness data, which inform public programs on impact TCVs reducing typhoid-related mortality morbidity, from an African setting may help encourage introduction high-burden settings. Here, we describe...
Objective To investigate the association between existing household water quality, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) practices severe cholera risk in a dense urban slum where is highly endemic. Design, setting participants We assembled large prospective cohort within cluster randomised trial evaluating effectiveness of oral vaccine. Our dynamic population (n=193 576) comprised individuals living ‘non-intervention’ clusters trial, were followed over 4 years. This study was conducted community...
The current global initiative to end Cholera by 2030 emphasizes the use of oral cholera vaccine (OCV) combined with feasible household Water-Sanitation-Hygiene (WASH) interventions. However, little is known about how improved WASH practices and behaviors OCV interact reduce risk cholera. We reanalyzed two arms a cluster-randomized trial in urban Bangladesh, evaluate effectiveness given as 2-dose regimen. One arm (30 clusters, n = 94,675) was randomized vaccination persons aged one year older...
Background Typhoid fever, or enteric is a highly fatal infectious disease that affects over 9 million people worldwide each year, resulting in more than 110,000 deaths. Reduction the burden of typhoid low-income countries crucial for public health and requires implementation feasible water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) interventions, especially densely populated urban slums. Objective In this study, conducted Mirpur, Bangladesh, we aimed to assess association between household WASH status risk...
Along with concerns regarding societal aging, the dietary requirements of older adults have become a priority. Older in Korea experience difficulties consuming animal protein sources as they age. Therefore, this study aimed to develop senior-friendly food product using mackerel. Accordingly, carbohydrates and proteins were added brine solution before saturated vapor treatment. Calcium lactate poly-gamma-glutamic acid sauce, when compared four commercial products (GT_R, GT_K, PC_K, AC_G) an...
Global cholera control efforts rely heavily on effective water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions in cholera-endemic settings. Using data from a large, randomized controlled trial of oral vaccine conducted Kolkata, India, we evaluated whether natural variations WASH an urban slum setting were predictive risk. From the population (n = 55 086), baseline randomly selected "training subpopulation" 27 634) analyzed with recursive partitioning to develop dichotomous ("better" vs "not...
Cholera poses a substantial health burden in the developing world due to both epidemic and endemic diseases. The World Health Organization recommends oral cholera vaccines for mass vaccination campaigns addition traditional prevention practices treatments resource-poor settings. In many countries like Bangladesh, major challenge behind implementing concerns affordability of vaccine (OCV). Vaccination children with OCV is not only an impactful approach controlling at population level reducing...
Background: The Severe Typhoid in Africa program evaluated the burden of symptomatic typhoid infections and characterized clinical severity this disease six countries - Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Madagascar, Nigeria. Methods: A hybrid, hospital-based prospective surveillance was implemented following a standard protocol. Patients presenting with fever (≥37·5°C axillary or ≥38·0°C tympanic) reporting for three consecutive days within previous seven were invited...
