Additional health education and nutrition management cause more weight loss than concurrent training in overweight young females
CONCLUSION: Concurrent training is an effective short-term training strategy for reducing FM and improving fasting glucose, blood lipids and related hormones. Furthermore, the combination of additional health education can achieve greater effects on weight loss and the reduction of total and regional FM, which may be a better obesity treatment method.PMID:36669325 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctcp.2023.101721

Exercise Often Not Part Of The Curriculum At Universities
Even as policy makers and health experts point to an increased need for exercise, more than half of four-year colleges and universities in the United States have dropped physical education requirements compared to historic levels. Almost every U.S. college student was required to take physical education and exercise requirements in the 1920s; today, that number is at an all-time low of 39 percent, according to a new study...

Evaluating The New 'R' In Academic Performance - Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, And Now Aerobics
Although the long-term consequences of childhood obesity are well documented, some school districts have reduced physical education classes to devote more time to the 3 Rs in education - reading, writing, and arithmetic. However, there is new evidence that leaving out an important fourth R - aerobics - could actually be counterproductive for increasing test scores. A new study scheduled for publication in The Journal of Pediatrics studied the associations between aerobic fitness, body mass index (BMI), and passing scores on standardized math and reading tests. Dr. Robert R...

Bariatric intervention effective at reversing Type 2 diabetes
Commentary on: Schauer PR, Kashyap SR, Wolski K, et al.. Bariatric surgery versus intensive medical therapy in obese patients with diabetes. N Engl J Med 2012;366:1567–, 76. Context Obesity is at worldwide epidemic proportions with estimates that over 60% of the population is overweight or obese in the USA.1 Individuals born in this decade have a 30–50% risk of developing diabetes over their lifetime,2 with potentially disastrous consequences from disease complications. Medical interventions to promote clinically meaningful weight loss are effort intensive, with most patients unable to achieve and maintain long...

Alzheimer's breakthrough: key questions answered
Everything you need to know about new research that could lead to future treatments for neurodegenerative diseasesSeveral media outlets have hailed a development in brain research that might lead to future treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's and new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.It is a bold claim, particularly because the research is at a very early stage in mice. Should we get excited?Professor Roger Morris, an expert on prion diseases at King's College London said: "This finding, I suspect, will be judged by history as a turning point in the search for medicines to control and prevent Alzheimer's disease."Wh...

An exercise professional led, community based, dietary and exercise programme for knee osteoarthritis
NICE guidance stipulates exercise and weight loss as ‘Core’ treatments for Osteoarthritis (OA). Typically, NHS physiotherapists and dieticians deliver these treatments within the secondary health care setting. Given increasing demands placed upon secondary health care professionals, we conducted a novel, community based, registered exercise professional led, exercise and dietary intervention in obese patients with established knee OA, to evaluate its efficacy and potentially widespread use within the National Exercise Referral Scheme in Wales. 81 patients (BMI<30) with knee OA were invited (mean age 57 y, BM...

Evaluation of an online “teachable moment” dietary intervention
Health Education,Volume 117, Issue 1, Page 39-52, January 2017. Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate an online “teachable moment” intervention to promote healthy eating for overweight and food intolerance symptoms. Design/methodology/approach The study involves a 2×2 factorial design with two conditions: group (weight loss vs food intolerance) and condition (intervention vs control). The intervention aimed to generate a “teachable moment” by providing knowledge regarding the relationship between food and the problem (overweight or food intolerance), focussing on the negative aspects of the problem, cre...

Weight Changes in General Practice.
CONCLUSIONS: Surprisingly, intentional therapeutic weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes, supervised by a medical doctor, did not seem to reduce the long-term risk for CVD, CVD-mortality or all-cause mortality. The contradictions between our results and the prevailing observational evidence may be explained by methodological weaknesses favoring weight loss in earlier studies. Consequently, there is no good evidence to support that intentional weight loss will reduce the risk of CVD or mortality in any group of patients in general practice or in the general population. Age was a powerful determinant of weight changes...

Meta-analysis of the efficacy of psychological and medical treatments for binge-eating disorder.
Conclusions: This comprehensive meta-analysis demonstrated the efficacy of psychotherapy, structured self-help treatment, and pharmacotherapy for patients with BED. More high quality research on treatments for BED is warranted, with a focus on long-term maintenance of therapeutic gains, comparative efficacy, mechanisms through which treatments work, and complex models of care.

Applications of Machine Learning in Real-Life Digital Health Interventions: Review of the Literature
Conclusions: This review found that digital health interventions incorporating machine learning algorithms in real-life studies can be useful and effective. Given the low number of studies identified in this review and that they did not follow a rigorous machine learning evaluation methodology, we urge the research community to conduct further studies in intervention settings following evaluation principles and demonstrating the potential of machine learning in clinical practice.

Education Program for Male Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease to Change Dietary Behavior.
In this study, we measured the effects of a support program on patient attitude, social influences, and self-efficacy and aimed to positively change their dietary behavior. We recruited male patients from two Japanese outpatient clinics and assigned each to an intervention or a control group. The intervention group participated in a support program and was assisted in acquiring knowledge and skills related to adopting and maintaining suitable eating behavior. Data were gathered through medical records, patient interviews, self-assessment questionnaires, and anthropometric measurements. The follow-up period was approximatel...
