The Effect of an Educational Intervention Based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on Nutritional Performance Related to Gastric Cancer in Rural Women in Northern Regions of Iran
This study examined 120 rural women. The educational program included four sessions for each group based on the health belief model. The mean age of the women was 34.51 ± 9.16. The mean score of the perceived barriers significantly decreased in the experimental group (11.08 ± 0.37) compared to the control group (14.92 ± 0.42) (P < .001), and the mean score of knowledge, performance and HBM constructs, increased significantly 2 months after the education (P < .001).It is recommended that educational interventions be designed by HBM to improve nutritional behaviors related to GC in the female population.PMID:3787278...

Submandibular Skinfold Thickness Cut-off Values in Relation to Body Mass Index and Percentage Body Fat Among Chilean Adolescents
Ecol Food Nutr. 2023 Oct 5:1-14. doi: 10.1080/03670244.2023.2265304. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study evaluates submandibular skinfold (SMS) cutoff values to estimate excess weight for BMI and percentage body fat (%BF) among Chilean adolescents. The results show an optimal area under the cutoff curve value of 83% among girls and 91% in boys to estimate SMS concerning %BF and BMI. The SMS cutoff value estimating obesity by %BF was 10 mm among girls and 9 mm among boys, 10 mm among girls, and 7 mm among boys by BMI. Our results showed that SMS is significantly associated with anthropometric parameters for obes...
