Objective: Habitual diet impacts mood and the human gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota. Yet, studies infrequently control for when evaluating associations between GI Accordingly, we aimed to investigate relationships among diet, microbiota, in adults without disorders by conducting a cross-sectional examination of dietary intake, subjective emotional state, fecal microbial taxa abundances.Methods: Adults (N = 133; 25–45 years age) physician-diagnosed were studied. Fecal DNA was extracted, V4...

Avocados are rich in dietary fiber and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), nutrients that have been independently connected to metabolic health benefits the gastrointestinal microbiota. We aimed evaluate impact of avocado consumption on microbiota microbial metabolites, secondary outcomes Persea americana for Total Health (PATH) study, conduct exploratory analyses assess relations between fecal microbiota, markers. Adults [n= 163, 25–45 y, BMI (kg/m2) ≥ 25.0] were enrolled PATH a 12-wk...

Excess adiposity increases risk for cognitive impairment. Consumption of avocado, a highly bioavailable source the xanthophyll lutein, has been shown to improve retinal lutein accumulation and function. Thus, we evaluated influence avocado consumption on function status among adults with overweight obesity using randomized-controlled trial matching design pertinent study outcomes.A cohort 84 (25-45 years, 31 males) were randomized treatment group (N = 47) that received 12-week daily meal...

Abstract Objective: To assess viewer engagement of a food advertising campaign on the live streaming platform Twitch.tv, social media that allows creators to stream content and communicate with their audience in real time. Design: Observational analysis chat comments across Twitch containing word ‘Wendy’s’ or ‘Wendys’ during 5-day ad compared two non-campaign time periods. Comments were categorised as positive, negative neutral how sentiment pertained brand Wendy’s. Setting: chatrooms....

Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of visceral adiposity-related risk factors, affects approximately 35% the United States population. Although improvement in diet quality is an important approach to reducing MetS risk, role particular dietary components remains unclear, especially among younger adults. Individual have been implicated ameliorating or exacerbating risk; however, extent which these factors contribute prevention has received little attention. This cross-sectional study aimed...

Dietary carotenoids, plant pigments with anti-oxidant properties, accumulate in neural tissue and are often found lower concentrations among individuals obesity. Given previous evidence of negative associations between excess adiposity memory, it is possible that greater carotenoid status may confer neuroprotective effects persons overweight or This study aimed to elucidate relationships carotenoids assessed diet, serum, the macula (macular pigment optical density (MPOD)) relational memory...

One apparent consequence of aging appears to be loss some aspects cognitive control. This is measurable as early mid-adulthood. Since, like many cognition, there wide variance among individuals, it possible that behavior, such one's diet, could drive these differences. For instance, past data on older humans and non-human primates have suggested dietary carotenoids slow decline. In this study, we tested how protection might manifest by examining a sample (n = 60) 25-45 year olds. Carotenoid...

Although intake of Hass avocado has been cross-sectionally linked to lower abdominal obesity, knowledge the effects consumption on adiposity and glycemic outcomes remains limited.The adiposity, insulin resistance, oral-glucose-tolerance test (OGTT), estimated β-cell function were evaluated.A total 105 adults aged 25-45 y (61% female) with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 randomly assigned an intervention (N = 53) that received a daily meal 1 fresh or control 52) isocaloric similar ingredients without for 12...

Impairment in cognitive flexibility is a trait characteristic among individuals with diagnosed eating disorders. However, the extent to which these relationships exist overweight or obesity remains unclear. Furthermore, there lack of knowledge characterizing neural underpinnings relationships. The current study aimed investigate disordered attitudes and adults obesity. Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) task-switching paradigm were collected from 132 (50 males, Body Mass Index (BMI) = 32.0 ± 5.8...

Excess adiposity or obesity has been inversely related to cognitive function and macular xanthophyll status. However, whether the neuroprotective effects of xanthophylls on are independent excess is unclear. We investigated relationship between intellectual ability among adults (N = 114) 25 45 years with overweight (≥25 kg/m2). Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry heterochromatic flicker photometry were used assess whole body (%Fat) pigment optical density (MPOD), respectively. Dietary (lutein...

Higher protein and fiber diets promote weight management metabolic health. This study aimed to determine if greater loss positive changes in outcomes could be achieved with twice-daily consumption of a high-protein fiber-based multi-ingredient nutritional shake (HPF) compared an isocaloric low-protein, lower placebo (LPF). Study procedures were conducted by independent research organization under clinicaltrials.gov registration NCT03057873. Healthy overweight obese adults [n = 206; BMI...

Background: Physical inactivity and excess adiposity are thought to be detrimental physical cognitive health. However, implications of these interrelated health factors rarely examined together; consequently, little is known regarding the concomitant contribution activity cognition. Methods: Bivariate correlations hierarchical linear regressions were conducted among a sample adults between 25 45 years (N = 65). Attentional inhibition was assessed using an Eriksen Flanker task. Whole-body...

Breastfeeding is associated with healthier weight and nutrient status in early life. However, the impact of breastfeeding on carotenoid beyond infancy, influence adiposity, are unknown. The aim study was to retrospectively investigate relation between status, mediating effect adiposity this relation, among school-age children. This a secondary analysis baseline data collected from randomized-controlled clinical trial. Children 7–12 y old (n = 81) were recruited East-Central Illinois. DXA...

Excessive sedentariness has been related to poorer cognitive control in adults. Sedentariness may compound obesity-related impairments response inhibition, but its relationship inhibition remains poorly understood. This study investigated the between accelerometer-measured sedentary time (ST, min/day), performance on Oddball and NoGo tasks, N2 P3-ERP indices of attentional 80 adults with overweight obesity (55 females, Mage = 35.2 ± 5.8 years, BMI 32.8 5.3 kg/m2 ). ST was not task. However,...

However, it not clear whether specific dietary factors may provide neuroprotective effects among individuals overweight obesity. The aim of this study was to examine the impact choline intake on neurophysiological markers attentional control young middle-aged adults or obesity.Methods: 146 BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (34.0 ± 5.9 years, 57 males) participated in study. Behavioral performance (accuracy reaction time)...

While different crowdsourcing platforms promote remote data collection, experiments in the immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) research community are predominantly performed person. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has forced researchers disciplines, including iVR, to seriously consider studies. In this paper, we present a study using Immersive Alimentation and Nutrition (IVAN) application, designed educate users about food-energy density portion size control. We report on results of experiment...

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Introduction:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The effect of various types dietary fat on cardiometabolic health continues to be debated, due in part the high heterogeneity results following clinical trials investigating effects saturated (SFA) and unsaturated intake. This variability may genetic differences. Individuals with obesity are at an increased risk for adverse dyslipidemia, often present combined phenotype elevated triglyceride (TG) decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL)...
