The obesity epidemic shows no signs of abating. There is an urgent need to push back against the environmental forces that are producing gradual weight gain in population. Using data from national surveys, we estimate affecting energy balance by 100 kilocalories per day (by a combination reductions intake and increases physical activity) could prevent most This can be achieved small changes behavior, such as 15 minutes walking or eating few less bites at each meal. Having specific behavioral...
Several studies have shown that combining the change in ST-segment with another exercise variable improves predictive value of stress testing. However, no method has been able to combine many test variables simultaneously and help clinician better predict future cardiac events. Fuzzy Cluster Analysis (FCA) was used 5 deviation classify each 232 positive outpatient tests as mildly, moderately, or severely abnormal. Cardiac events were recorded these 3 patient groups up 96 months (mean 65...
U.S. adults may have lower levels of ambulatory physical activity compared with living in other countries.The purpose this study was to provide descriptive, epidemiological data on the average number steps per day estimated be taken by and identify predictors pedometer-measured basis demographic characteristics self-reported behavioral characteristics.The America On Move conducted 2003. Individuals (N = 2522) aged 13 yr older consented fill out a survey, including 1921 18 older. Valid...
Objective To compare the efficacy of non-nutritive sweetened beverages (NNS) or water for weight loss during a 12-week behavioral treatment program. Methods An equivalence trial design with NNS as main factor in prospective randomized among 303 men and women was employed. All participants participated The results phase (12 weeks) an ongoing (1 year) that is also evaluating effects these two treatments on maintenance were reported. Results not equivalent beverage group losing significantly...
Objective To evaluate the effects of water versus beverages sweetened with non‐nutritive sweeteners (NNS) on body weight in subjects enrolled a year‐long behavioral loss treatment program. Methods The study used randomized equivalence design NNS or as main factor trial among 303 weight‐stable people overweight and obesity. All participants participated program plus assignment to consume 24 ounces (710 ml) daily for 1 year. Results treatments were non‐equivalent, showing greater at end At...
Introduction: There is an urgent need to increase the physical activity in population. Small-scale success has been achieved programs like Colorado on Move (COM), obesity prevention program using electronic pedometers. Methods: To provide baseline information for COM, this first-ever statewide survey of walking was conducted with 1098 individuals. The weighted mean BMI 25.3 ± 0.18 kg·m−2, and age 44 0.42 yr age. Subjects participated a short telephone interview then were sent pedometer wear...
The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) is the largest ongoing study of individuals successful at maintaining weight loss; registry enrolls a loss least 13.6 kg (30 lb) for minimum 1 year. current report uses multivariate latent class cluster analysis to identify unique clusters within NWCR that have distinct experiences, strategies, and attitudes with respect maintenance. considers health history, control behaviors effort satisfaction weight, psychological demographic characteristics....
A retrospective study of kids’ meals purchased at Walt Disney World was conducted to determine acceptance rates for healthy sides and beverages. Purchase data from all 145 restaurants were analyzed using a log-linear model Poisson regression. Across restaurants, 47.9% 66.3% guests accepted default beverages, respectively. Acceptance beverages higher quick-service (49.4% 67.8%, respectively) compared table-service (40.3% 45.6%, respectively). The defaults reduced calories (21.4%), fat...
Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions and predisposes afflicted individuals to several comorbidities. For these individuals, losing weight has proven be an easier feat than maintaining a reduced weight. In obesity-prone rats, we examined if there metabolic propensity regain after period of significant loss. Twenty-four-hour energy expenditure (EE), sleeping rate (SMR), nonprotein respiratory quotient (NPRQ) were obtained by indirect calorimetry with urinary nitrogen analysis normalized...
