Dietary patterns established during adolescence might play a role in adulthood disease. We examined the stability of dietary (DPs) from childhood through and into young (from age 8 to 34 years). Data 130 participants (53 females) Saskatchewan Pediatric Bone Mineral Accrual Study (aged 8-15 years, at baseline) were included. Multiple 24-h recalls collected annually 1991 1997, 2002 2005, 2010 2011. Using principal component analysis, "Vegetarian-style", "Western-like", "High-fat,...
Diabetes prevention is a public health priority. Vitamin D supplementation may help prevent the development of diabetes in persons at increased risk. We performed meta-analysis controlled clinical trials that assessed glycemic outcome measures among adults risk for type 2 diabetes, including prediabetes, overweight, or obesity. searched PUBMED/ MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Google Scholar databases published prior to April 2017. Placebo-controlled with random allocation vitamin without calcium were...
A randomized double-blind placebo controlled study design was used to assess the effects of flaxseed lignan complex supplementation during exercise training on a metabolic syndrome composite score and osteoporosis risk in older adults. total 100 subjects (≥50 years) were receive (543 mg·day –1 4050 mg complex) or while completing 6 month walking program (30–60 min·day , 5–6 days·week ). Fasting serum glucose, triacylglycerol (TAG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density...
Our purpose was to determine the effects of a pulse-based diet in individuals 50 years or older for reducing CVD risk factors. A total 108 participants were randomised receive foods (two servings daily beans, chickpeas, peas lentils; about 150 g/d dry weight) their regular 2 months, followed by washout 1 month and cross-over other months. Anthropometric measures, body composition biochemical markers (i.e. serum LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), as primary outcome, lipids, glucose, insulin C-reactive...
Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for hypertension.We assessed 8155 participants in community-based program to investigate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) status and blood pressure (BP) influence of vitamin supplementation on hypertension. Participants were provided supplements reach target 25(OH)D > 100 nmol/L. A nested case-control study was conducted examine effect achieving physiological those who hypertensive not taking BP-lowering medication, that...
Abstract We determined the effects of 2 years exercise training and soy isoflavone supplementation on bone mass lipids in postmenopausal women provided with calcium vitamin D. Women were randomized to four groups: (Ex); (Iso: 165 mg/d [105 aglycone equivalent]); combined Ex Iso (ExIso); placebo (control). Exercise included resistance (2 days/week) walking (4 days/week). Our primary outcomes lumbar spine hip mineral density (BMD). Secondary geometry, tibia radius speed sound (SOS), dynamic...
Abstract The long-term benefits of habitual physical activity during adolescence on adult bone structure and strength are poorly understood. We investigated whether physically active adolescents had greater size, density, content, estimated in young adulthood when compared to their peers who were inactive adolescence. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) was used measure the tibia radius 122 (73 females) participants (age mean ± SD, 29.3 2.3 years) Saskatchewan Pediatric Bone...

Adequate dietary intake during the growth period is critical for bone mineral accretion. In 1997, an adequate (AI) of 1300 mg/d Ca was set North American adolescents aged 9–18 years based on best available data. We determined accrual values from age 9 to 18 taking into account sex and maturity. Furthermore, we used data estimate adolescents' requirements. Total body content (TBBMC) eighty-five boys sixty-seven girls participating in Saskatchewan Paediatric Bone Mineral Accrual Study were...
Abstract It remains unclear if participation in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) differs between children with ASD and typically developing (TDC). We compared daily MVPA, time spent MVPA during education (PE) recess, odds of not meeting recommendation (60 min/day) TDC. Nine studies reporting accelerometer-measured were included the meta-analyses. was 30 min lower/day, 12% 8% lower PE respectively, ASD, they had 4 times higher when to Children engage less than TDC below...
Abstract Objective Little is known of the beverage intake patterns Canadian children or characteristics within these patterns. The objective was to determine among and compare intakes fourteen types beverages, along with vitamin C Ca, sociodemographic factors across clusters. Design Dietary information collected using one 24 h recall. Sociodemographic data were by interview. Cluster analysis used Pearson's χ 2 95 % CI test differences Setting Data from Community Health Survey Cycle 2·2....
Sweetened beverage intake has risen in past decades, along with a rise prevalence of overweight and obesity among children. Our objective was to examine the relationship between patterns Canadian Beverage were identified by cluster analysis data from cross-sectional Community Health Survey 2.2. Intake obtained single 24-hour recall, height weight measured, sociodemographic via interview. Data on children adolescents aged 2-18 years who met inclusion criteria (n = 10 038) grouped into...
ABSTRACT Background Understanding the dietary patterns of populations is crucial in addressing chronic health conditions that are influenced by diet and lifestyle. We aimed to identify among adult Caucasian Canadians examine their associations with socioeconomic sociodemographic factors conditions. Methodology used two comprehensive national nutrition surveys: Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS)2015 CCHS Cycle 2.2 Nutrition 2004, which encompass profiles, nutrient‐rich food quality...
