Abstract Entomophagy, the consumption of insects, is promoted as an alternative sustainable source protein for humans and animals. Seminal literature highlights predominantly benefits, but with limited empirical support evaluation. We highlight historical significance entomophagy by key opportunities hurdles identified research to date, paying particular attention gaps. It known that insects present a nutritional opportunity, being generally high in micronutrients, it unclear how their...
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this work was to identify barriers physical activity in children with asthma and compare their customary levels, BMI emotional well-being that other medical conditions. It hypothesized would have higher lower levels activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS. We studied aged 7 14 years attending hospital outpatient clinics for either (asthma group: n = 56) or otorhinolaryngology dermatological conditions (nonasthma 61). In cross-sectional survey, children's weight height were...
Abstract Background Trainee dietitians, nutritionists, nurses and doctors will direct the future of obesity treatment prevention. To do so effectively, they must be willing able to engage empathically with overweight obese people. The present study aimed assess weight bias among UK trainee healthcare professionals investigate factors predicting bias, both static potentially modifiable. Methods A self‐completed questionnaire collected data on demographics, height, F at P hobia Scale (...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a risk score algorithm for childhood overweight based on prediction model in infants. METHODS: Analysis conducted by using the UK Millennium Cohort Study. cohort divided randomly 80% sample derivation 20% validation. Stepwise logistic regression determined at 3 years defined International Obesity Task Force criteria. Predictive metrics R2, area under receiver operating curve (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Weight bias is an important clinical issue that the educators of tomorrow's healthcare professionals cannot afford to ignore. This study, therefore, aimed pilot a randomized controlled trial effects educational films designed reduce weight stigmatization toward obese patients on trainee dietitians' and doctors' attitudes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A pre-post experimental design with 6-week follow-up, which consisted...
A number of risk factors are associated with the development childhood obesity which can be identified during infancy. These include infant feeding practices, parental response to temperament and perception growth appetite. Parental beliefs understanding crucial determinants behaviour; therefore any intervention would need take account their views. This study aimed explore UK parents' concerning infant's size, behaviour receptiveness early at reducing obesity. Six focus groups were...
Abstract Objective Despite widespread concern over exploitation of the European Union's fish stocks, dietary guidelines in UK continue to recommend two portions per week. The present study sought investigate whether health and/or sustainability are motivating factors when purchasing and consuming there sociodemographic trends. Design A structured, self-completion postal questionnaire exploring consumers’ attitudes towards fish, their intake, stated behaviour information. Setting...
There is a strong rationale for intervening in early childhood to prevent obesity. Over quarter of infants gain weight more rapidly than desirable during the first six months life putting them at greater risk obesity childhood. However, little known about UK healthcare professionals' (HCPs) approach primary prevention. This study explored obesity-related knowledge HCPs and beliefs current practice general practitioners (GPs) nurses relation identifying developing Survey (GPs, nurses, health...
To describe trainee healthcare professionals' preferred terms when talking about obesity, their beliefs initiating discussions weight, and confidence consulting with obese people.A self-completed questionnaire collected data on demographics, terms, initiation of discussions, training needs from 1036 pre-registration dieticians, nurses doctors.Participants' raising the issue obesity clients were BMI (mean=.96), weight (mean=.71) unhealthy (mean=.43). When defining a client's bodyweight,...
Risk assessment tools provide an opportunity to prevent childhood overweight and obesity through early identification intervention influence infant feeding practices. Engaging parents of infants is paramount for success however; the literature suggests there uncertainty surrounding use such with concerns about stigmatisation, labelling expressions parental guilt. This study explores parents' views on identifying future risk during infancy communicating parents.
Abstract Background/Aims Treatment guidelines recommend tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) and interleukin-17A (IL-17Ai) as options for patients with PsA or axSpA persistent disease activity despite conventional treatment. TNFi are a commonly used first-line treatment in axSpA. There is little evidence available to inform selection of therapy after failure This study compares the effectiveness second (cycling) versus switching IL-17Ai among who discontinued first TNFi. Methods included...
Previous research has demonstrated the predictive validity of Infant Risk Overweight Checklist (IROC). This study further establishes accuracy IROC using data from Avon Longitudinal Study Parents and Children (ALSPAC) examines optimal threshold for determining high risk childhood overweight.Using algorithm, we calculated being overweight, based on International Obesity Task Force criteria, in first year life 980 children ALSPAC cohort at 5 years. Discrimination was assessed by area under...
Children with disabilities are two to three times more likely become overweight or obese than typically developing children. spina bifida (SB) at particular risk, yet obesity prevalence and weight management this population under-researched. This retrospective chart review explored how is assessed discussed in a children's SB outpatient clinic.
