The relationship between fat distribution and diabetes in US adults by race/ethnicity
Introduction This study examined the relationship between fat distribution and diabetes by sex-specific racial/ethnic groups. Methods A secondary data analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2018 data ( n = 11,972) was completed. Key variables examined were visceral adipose tissue area (VATA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), diabetes prevalence, and race/ethnicity. The association of VATA and SFA and diabetes prevalence was…

EB4Cast Approach Improves Science Communication With Stakeholders in a College-Based Health Program
Communicating scientific results with community partners is often lacking in intervention programs, thus eB4CAST was developed to facilitate impact sharing. This article investigated using the eB4CAST dissemination tool to communicate impact from a campus-based obesity prevention program. Data from Get Fruved RCT university sites collected at baseline were used to generate eB4CAST reports. Experts (n=13) and RCT sites (n=15) were asked to provide…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in US Adolescents’ Dietary Quality and Its Modification by Weight-Related Factors and Physical Activity
There are well-known disparities in the prevalence of obesity across racial-ethnic groups, although the behavioral and psychological factors driving these disparities are less well understood. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: (1) to examine differences in dietary quality by race/ethnicity and weight-related variables [body mass index (BMI), weight loss attempt, and weight dissatisfaction] and physical activity (PA) using the Health E…
The Association between US Adolescents’ Weight Status, Weight Perception, Weight Satisfaction, and Their Physical Activity and Dietary Behaviors
Background : It remain unclear that the association between weight status, weight perception, weight satisfaction and the clustering of physical activity (PA) and dietary behaviors in adolescents. Method : A cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the US Department of Agriculture's Food Patterns Equivalents 2007−2014 data from adolescents aged 12−17 years ( n = 2965) was conducted. Multivariable logistic r…
Survey Development to Assess College Students' Perceptions of the Campus Environment
CEPS appears to be a valid and reliable tool for assessing college students' perceptions of their health-related campus environment
College Students' Health Behavior Clusters
Identified differences in characteristics and attitudes towards weight-related behaviors between males and females can be used to tailor weight management programs
Trajectories of Maintenance and Resilience in Healthful Eating and Exercise Behaviors in Older Adults
Findings suggest that both physical health and psychological capital provide important resources upon which to draw as older adults grow even older. The trajectory model can provide useful information for developing resilience interventions for older adults
The Green Eating Project
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of an online, interactive intervention, referred to as the Green Eating (GE) Project, to motivate university students to adopt GE behaviours. Design The study was quasi-experimental and integrated into courses for credit/extra credit. Courses were randomly stratified into experimental or non-treatment control. The 5-week intervention consisted of four modules based on different GE topics. Participants co…
Assessment of the dining environment on and near the campuses of fifteen post-secondary institutions
Objective The present study evaluated the restaurant and dining venues on and near post-secondary campuses varying in institution size. Design The Nutrition Environment Measures Survey for Restaurants (NEMS-R) was modified to evaluate restaurants as fast food, sit down and fast casual; and campus dining venues as dining halls, student unions and snack bar/cafés. ANOVA with post hoc Tukey's B and T tests were used to distinguish differences betwee…
Self-reported eating rate aligns with laboratory measured eating rate but not with free-living meals
Sweet and salty. An assessment of the snacks and beverages sold in vending machines on US post-secondary institution campuses
Common Factors Predicting Long-term Changes in Multiple Health Behaviors
This study was designed to assess if there are consistent treatment, stage, severity, effort and demographic effects which predict long-term changes across the multiple behaviors of smoking, diet and sun exposure. A secondary data analysis integrated data from four studies on smoking cessation ( N = 3927), three studies on diet ( N = 4824) and four studies on sun exposure ( N = 6465). Across all three behaviors, behavior change at 24 months was r…
Intervening on Exercise and Nutrition in Older Adults
Presented are the basic design, methods, and baseline data analyses for the Study of Exercise and Nutrition in Older Rhode Islanders (SENIOR Project) an experimental study to investigate the relative effectiveness of a 12-month, stage of readiness to change-based multiple-behavior intervention (exercise and nutrition) compared to single-behavior interventions in a community-dwelling population of 1,277 older adults. Relationships between stage of…
