Consent and Meaningful Inclusion of People Living with Dementia
Background People living with dementia (PLWD) want – and have the right – to participate in research that impacts them. However, barriers in legislation, institutional practices, and/or biases may jeopardize inclusion. Objective and Methods Interviews with 33 Canadian dementia researchers were conducted to explore understandings of research consent with regard to dementia, research practices, and approaches in everyday research contexts. Findings…
Behind the Scenes of Participation
Introduction Participatory research (PR) has been found to have a positive impact on people living in long-term care (LTC). Yet, limited attention has been paid to the ethical complexities that are encountered in the research process. Our paper offers a reflexive account of the ethical issues related to power dynamics in a PR study involving the co-design of a virtual reality (VR) program in LTC. Method This reflection is part of a larger study t…
The Impact of Telepresence Robots on Family Caregivers and Residents in Long-Term Care
Telepresence robots can enhance social connection and support person-centered care in long-term care (LTC) homes. This study evaluates their impact in facilitating virtual visits between family caregivers and older residents in Canadian LTC homes. Telepresence robots were placed in residents' rooms, allowing virtual visits at mutual convenience. A total of 18 residents and 17 family caregivers participated. Quantitative assessments included the Z…

Co-research with people living with dementia for change
Research about patients with dementia in the context of acute care has been traditionally designed and carried out by researchers with little or no involvement of people with dementia. Moving away from the traditional way of conducting research on people with dementia, this study involved people with dementia as experts of lived experiences to co-develop knowledge for change. The paper presents our shared experiences (a person with dementia and a…
Serum and erythrocyte folate status of New Zealand women of childbearing age following a countrywide voluntary programme by the baking industry to fortify bread with folic acid
Objective To estimate the folate status of New Zealand women of childbearing age following the introduction, in 2010, of a new voluntary folic acid fortification of bread programme. Design The 2011 Folate and Women’s Health Survey was a cross-sectional survey of women aged 18–44 years carried out in 2011. The survey used a stratified random sampling technique with the Electoral Roll as the sampling frame. Women were asked about consumption of fol…

Community-wide lifestyle interventions have the potential to reduce rates of type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases in high-risk communities, but require a high level of commitment from the health sector and buy-in from the community. Adequate commitment, leadership, planning and resources are essential
"Healthy Eating - Healthy Action"
This paper outlines our approach to evaluating a complex national health promotion strategy. Not only does the Evaluation have the potential to identify interventions that could be adopted internationally, but also the development of the Evaluation design can inform other complex evaluations
Iodine status in a Sherpa community in a village of the Khumbu region of Nepal
Objective To assess the iodine status of Sherpa residents living in Kunde village, Khumbu region, Nepal. Design Prevalence of goitre was determined by palpation. Urinary iodine concentrations (UIC) were determined in casual morning samples, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in finger-prick blood samples on filter paper. Dietary and demographic data were obtained via questionnaire, and selected foods analysed for iodine. Setting Khumbu region …

Diet, nutrition and the prevention of type 2 diabetes
Objectives: The overall objective of this study was to evaluate and provide evidence and recommendations on current published literature about diet and lifestyle in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. Design: Epidemiological and experimental studies, focusing on nutritional intervention in the prevention of type 2 diabetes are used to make disease-specific recommendations. Long-term cohort studies are given the most weight as to strength of eviden…
Mortality in British vegetarians
Objective: To compare the mortality of British vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Design: Analysis of original data from two prospective studies each including a large proportion of vegetarians – the Oxford Vegetarian Study and the Health Food Shoppers Study. Standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) compared with the population of England and Wales were calculated from deaths before age 90 for vegetarians and non-vegetarians in each study. Death rate r…
Mortality in vegetarians and non-vegetarians
Objective: To compare the mortality rates of vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Design: Collaborative analysis using original data from five prospective studies. Death rate ratios for vegetarians compared to non-vegetarians were calculated for ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, cancers of the stomach, large bowel, lung, breast and prostate, and for all causes of death. All results were adjusted for age, sex and smoking. A random effe…
Emergency appendicectomy and meat consumption in the UK
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To compare the rates of reported emergency appendicectomies in a cohort study of vegetarians and non-vegetarians by participants' history of meat consumption. DESIGN--This was a prospective cohort study in which participants were asked about their lifetime history of meat consumption/avoidance and, separately, whether they had had an appendicectomy. Appendicectomy was described as either "emergency" or "non-emergency" according t…
Intestinal parasitosis among Southeast Asian immigrants in New Mexico
Results of an intestinal parasite survey of 776 Southeast Asian immigrants in New Mexico are presented. Parasites were found in 71.8 per cent of the patients; 44.3 per cent were multiply infected. Twenty different parasites were identified, some of which are not common in the United States

The negative association between IHD mortality and water hardness is well known. Other studies have suggested that myocardial magnesium is lower in IHD than in non-IHD deaths and that it may be related to water hardness. Pathologists in 30 county boroughs in England and Wales were asked to take a one-centimetre cube of myocardium from 60 consecutive male necropsies
