Development and rigorous multistep validation of a psychometric tool to measure food noise
Commentary
Cluster randomized controlled trials (cRCTs) are multilevel experimental designs in which groups of participants are randomly assigned to a condition (e.g., an exercise intervention) such that all individuals nested in a naturally occurring group (i.e., cluster) receive the same treatment (1)(2)(3). This design is often utilized when individual randomization is not feasible for various reasons (e.g., concerns about contamination of study conditio…
Not feeling the heat? Effects of dietary protein on satiation and satiety in mice are not due to its impact on body temperature
Dietary protein modulates food intake (FI) via unclear mechanism(s). One possibility is that higher protein leads to greater post-ingestive heat production (Specific dynamic action: SDA) leading to earlier meal termination (increased satiation), and inhibition of further intake (increased satiety). The influence of dietary protein on feeding behaviour in C57BL/6J mice was tested using an automated FI monitoring system (BioDAQ), simultaneous to bo…

Ignoring Clustering and Nesting Effects Are Invalid Analysis Choices in a Trial with Clustered Data in Trials Testing Causal Effects. Re
Vitale and Coccia1 conducted a study (referred to by the authors as a “clustered-randomized control trial”) to assess the effects of a nutrition education program on nutrition knowledge, liking and intake of fruits and vegetables among school children. They reported statistically significant between-group effects for nutrition knowledge and liking tomatoes. According to the reported methods, “12 classrooms [were] divided into 3 block schedules” (…

The associations between relative and absolute body mass index with mortality rate based on predictions from stigma theory
We hypothesized that the stigmatization of obesity might lead to an increased MR after controlling for absolute BMI. Contrary to expectations, a higher relative BMI was not associated with an increased MR independent of absolute BMI
Overflowing tables
In the United States, recent studies have demonstrated weight gain over Thanksgiving contributing to a significant portion of annual national weight gain. Understanding the social context of how Thanksgiving celebrations were perceived is critical for preventing and reducing excess weight during this time. Energy intake from present-day data was back-calculated from body weight data collected in participants before and after Thanksgiving. Similar…
Impact of Surgical Table Orientation on Flow Disruptions and Movement Patterns during Pediatric Outpatient Surgeries
(1) Background: The surgical table within a typical ambulatory surgery operating room is frequently rotated and placed in different orientations to facilitate surgery or in response to surgeon preferences. However, different surgical table orientations can impact access to different work zones, areas and equipment in the OR, potentially impacting workflow of surgical team members and creating patient safety risks; (2) Methods: This quantitative o…
Associations of breastfeeding or formula feeding with infant anthropometry and body composition at 6 months
The objective of this study was to investigate the associations of mode of feeding with infant anthropometric and body composition variables at 6 months of age. We studied 259 infants whose exclusive mode of feeding (breast or formula) to 1 month was confirmed. Standard anthropometric characteristics of the infants (weight, length and weight-for-length z scores) were obtained, and body composition (total fat mass, fat-free mass, trunk fat mass an…

Endocrine Disruptors and Obesity
Recent evidence suggests that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may cause perturbations in endogenous hormonal regulation that predispose to weight gain. Using data from NHANES (1999-2002), we investigated the association between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and selected persistent organic pollutants (POPs) via multiple linear regressions. Consistent interaction was found between gender, ln oxychlordane and ln p,p' DDT. Als…
An Examination of the Association of Selected Toxic Metals with Total and Central Obesity Indices
It is conceivable that toxic metals contribute to obesity by influencing various aspects of metabolism, such as by substituting for essential micronutrients and vital metals, or by inducing oxidative stress. Deficiency of the essential metal zinc decreases adiposity in humans and rodent models, whereas deficiencies of chromium, copper, iron, and magnesium increases adiposity. This study utilized the NHANES 99-02 data to explore the association be…
The effects of obesity on cognition in adult Sprague–Dawley rats
Toward the reduction of population obesity
The authors reviewed the evidential basis of three environmental approaches to reducing population obesity: What are the effects of (a) taxing or subsidizing foods, (b) manipulating the ease of food access, and (c) restricting access to certain foods? A narrative review evaluated evidence using National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute criteria. There was strong evidence that subsidization influences food purchases, but not necessarily food consu…
The Impact of Cost on the Availability of Fruits and Vegetables in the Homes of Schoolchildren in Birmingham, Alabama
Objectives. Fruit and vegetable cost is a presumed barrier to intake. We sought to determine whether fruit and vegetable cost and consumers’ race and income would predict availability of fruits and vegetables in homes of schoolchildren in the Birmingham, Ala, area. Methods. Data on availability of 27 fruit and vegetable items were obtained from homes of 1355 children (32% African American) in the Birmingham area. Fruit and vegetable costs were ob…
A Potential Decline in Life Expectancy in the United States in the 21st Century
Forecasts of life expectancy are an important component of public policy that influence age-based entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Although the Social Security Administration recently raised its estimates of how long Americans are going to live in the 21st century, current trends in obesity in the United States suggest that these estimates may not be accurate. From our analysis of the effect of obesity on longevity, we c…

The direct health care costs of obesity in the United States
OBJECTIVES: Recent estimates suggest that obesity accounts for 5.7% of US total direct health care costs, but these estimates have not accounted for the increased death rate among obese people. This article examines whether the estimated direct health care costs attributable to obesity are offset by the increased mortality rate among obese individuals. METHODS: Data on death rates, relative risks of death with obesity, and health care costs at di…

Destruction/Deconstruction in the Text of Nietzsche
The paper I'd like to present-Destruction/Deconstruction in the Text of Nietzsche-is composed of two parts, two quite different parts. The first and shorter part deals with the issue of a deconstructive style within the text of Nietzsche, and the second is concerned with such an operation as performed upon Nietzsche's text-i.e., by someone else and from without. The second part, then, concerns a stylistic fold or doublingup of interpretation: the…
Nietzsche Knows no Noumenon
It has become a virtual postulate in recent criticism that any competent reading of Nietzsche must attend to a perceived loss of sense, of semantic evacuation, incompleteness, and inconsistency in the Nietzschean text. Some critics even insist on axiomatic void at the very heart of his texts. In the most general terms, it would appear that two considerations compel this caution: a renewed awareness of Nietzsche's rhetorical resources-certainly, h…

The analysis and identification of homologizer/moderator variables when the moderator is continuous
Human biological data often contain homologizers, that is, variables which moderate the strength rather than the form of the relationship between two other variables. Current methods for the identification and analysis of continuous homologizer variables [Z] (variables which moderate the strength rather than the form of a relationship between other variables [X,Y]) recommend dividing the sample into subgroups on the basis of the homologizer varia…

Skeletal differences between black and white men and their relevance to body composition estimates
Skeletal differences exist between closely matched Black and White women, although it is unknown if similar differences also exist between Black and White men after controlling for age, body weight, and stature. The aim of this study was twofold: to test the hypothesis that Black men have greater bone mass, higher bone mineral density, and longer limbs compared to White men of similar age, weight, and height; and second, to establish if ethnic va…

Estimating African American Admixture Proportions by Use of Population-Specific Alleles
Relative and interacting effects of sex, race, and environment upon body cell mass in healthy adults
Most epidemiologic studies in nutrition have concentrated on body fat and obesity because of associated health risks, while few studies have examined factors that influence body cell mass (BCM). The relative influences of sex, race, environment, and age upon BCM were compared by analyzing the results of bioimpedance analyses in two cohorts of 1094 healthy adults, including Africans in Zaire, plus African Americans and Caucasians in New York City.…

Community Structure and Co-operation in Biofilms
The study of biofilm considers the close association of micro-organisms with each other at interfaces and the consequent physiological adaptation to the proximity of other cells and surfaces. As such it is relevant to a variety of disciplines, including medicine, dentistry, bioremediation, biofouling, water technology, engineering and food science. Although the habitats studied, and their associated cellular communities, differ widely, some commo…
