Background The benefits of an active lifestyle after a breast cancer diagnosis are well recognized, but the majority survivors insufficiently active. ACTIVATE Trial examined efficacy intervention (use Garmin Vivofit 2 activity monitor coupled with behavioral feedback and goal‐setting session 5 telephone‐delivered health coaching sessions) to increase moderate vigorous physical (MVPA) reduce sedentary behavior in survivors. Methods This randomized controlled trial recruited 83 inactive,...
Objective To examine the associations of sedentary time and physical activity with biomarkers cardiometabolic health, including potential collective impact shifting mean use from less- to more-active behaviours (cross-sectionally, using isotemporal substitution), in adults type 2 diabetes. Methods Participants overweight/obese body mass index (BMI; ≥25 kg/m2) (n = 279; 158 men, [SD] age 58.2 [8.6] years) wore Actigraph GT1M accelerometers (waking hours; seven days) assess moderate-...
Background Given escalating rates of chronic disease, broad-reach and cost-effective interventions to increase physical activity improve dietary intake are needed. The cost-effectiveness a Telephone Counselling intervention diet, targeting adults with established diseases in low socio-economic area major Australian city was examined. Methodology/Principal Findings A modelling study using data collected between February 2005 November 2007 from cluster-randomised trial that compared "Usual...
Extending contact with participants after the end of an initial intervention is associated successful maintenance weight loss and behavior change. However, cost-effective methods extending are needed.This study investigated whether extended via text message was efficacious in supporting long-term physical activity dietary change breast cancer survivors.Following 6-month randomized controlled trial a telephone-delivered versus usual care, eligible consenting received tailored messages...
To evaluate the effectiveness of a telephone-delivered behavioral weight loss and physical activity intervention targeting Australian primary care patients with type 2 diabetes.Pragmatic randomized controlled trial telephone counseling (n = 151) versus usual 151). Reported here are 18-month (end-of-intervention) 24-month (maintenance) outcomes weight, moderate-to-vigorous-intensity (MVPA; via accelerometer), HbA1c level. Secondary include dietary energy intake diet quality, waist...
Mandates to include women and minority populations in research have heightened the need identify successful recruitment strategies. This paper describes retention strategies used as part of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) physical activity dietary intervention targeting low-income, predominantly Latino patients primary health care clinic. Data on rates representativeness participants are presented. Strategies included hiring bilingual staff, translating culturally adapting materials...
Achievement of steady state during indirect calorimetry measurements resting energy expenditure (REE) is necessary to reduce error and ensure accuracy in the measurement. Steady often defined as 5 consecutive min (5-min SS) which oxygen consumption carbon dioxide production vary by ±10%. These criteria, however, are stringent difficult satisfy. This study aimed assess whether reducing time period for (4-min SS or 3-min produced REE that were significantly different from 5-min SS. was...
Abstract Background: Despite considerable knowledge about the effect of cancer during early stages treatment and survivorship, understanding longer-term has only recently become a priority. This study investigated health implications survivorship in an Australian, population-based sample. Methods: Using Australian National Health Survey, 968 survivors were identified, along with 5,808 age- sex-matched respondents without history cancer. Four measures compared (quality life, status, days out...
The purpose of these guidelines is to provide dietitians in Australia with a user-friendly summary the evidence support nutritional management adult patients cancer cachexia. This best available presented and used as basis for providing recommendations about clinical practice. questions were follows: How should be identified referral dietitian order maximise intervention opportunities? status assessed? What are goals nutrition cachexia? prescription achieve goals? Should eicosapentaenoic...
