Accelerometry data were available from 21 individuals with intellectual disabilities, age 14-22 years. Each completed the 6-month FBBI, after which 10 completed a 6-month maintenance intervention (FBBI-M), and 11 received no further intervention (FBBI-C).

Tuberculosis cohort analysis in Zimbabwe: The need to strengthen patient follow-up throughout the tuberculosis care cascade
ConclusionPre-diagnosis LTFU was high, and high death and loss to follow-up rates were prevalent in provinces with artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) activities. Unevaluated treatment outcomes were also prevalent and data quality remains a challenge within the national TB control program. We recommended strengthening patient follow-up at all levels within the TB care cascade, strengthening capacity-building for data analysis and use, further analysis to determine factors associated with undesirable outcomes and a study on why LTFU remains high.

Are motivational and self-regulation factors associated with 12 months' weight regain prevention in the NoHoW study? An analysis of European adults
CONCLUSIONS: These results contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of action leading to behavior change in weight regain prevention. The most successful participants used only a few intrinsic motivation-related mechanisms of action, suggesting that habits may have been learned. While developing a digital behavior change intervention, researchers and practitioners should consider creating supportive climate care to improve needs satisfaction and intrinsic goal contents.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN, ISRCTN88405328 , registered 12/22/2016.PMID:37891654 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-023-01529-8 (Source: Health Physics)

Heartbeat: ultra-processed foods and atrial fibrillation risk
Recommendations for primary prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) emphasise the role of weight loss and other lifestyle risk factors. However, there is little information on the effect of dietary patterns on AF incidence and progression. In order to assess whether incident AF was affected by specific diets, Tu and colleagues1 analysed data from the UK Biobank in 121, 3000 individuals (mean age 59.4±7.8, 56.4% female) with 4579 incident AF cases over 8.8 years follow-up. Although adherence to a Mediterranean-style or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet initially appeared to be associated with a lower...

Faecal metabolome responses to an altered dietary protein:carbohydrate ratio in adult dogs
Vet Q. 2023 Oct 23:1-17. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2023.2273891. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHigh-protein diets may aid weight loss and weight maintenance programs in both humans and dogs, although the effect of dietary protein levels on gut metabolism and functionality has not been studied in depth. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of an altered dietary protein:carbohydrate ratio on gut function in adult dogs by means of faecal metabolomic fingerprinting. More specifically, functional metabolic differences in dogs fed a high-protein/low-carbohydrate (HPLC) vs. low-protein/high-carbohydrate (LPHC) diet were ...
