Transformational Dramaturgical Longitudinalism (TDL)
Fat stigma is a qualitative health research problem because fat bodies encounter persistent moral surveillance in daily life. In response, many fat people present a socially acceptable ‘front’ to clinicians and researchers. Existing qualitative approaches are therefore somewhat limited to capturing frontstage performances rather than participants’ more personal ‘backstage’ reflections. In response, this methodological paper introduces transformat…
The association between dietary insulin index and load with mental health
Overall, consumption of foods with higher DII as well as DIL were associated with lower stress scores; however, no significant relationship was observed between DII or DIL with respective depression or anxiety scores
The Association between Ultra-Processed Foods, Quality of Life and Insomnia among Adolescent Girls in Northeastern Iran
Ultra-processed foods have been associated with increased risk of chronic disease, poor overall health and psychological outcomes. This study explored the association of ultra-processed foods with quality of life in adolescent girls from northeastern Iran. In an interdisciplinary cross-sectional study, n = 733 adolescent girls were recruited by random cluster sampling. Assessments were completed for demographics, physical activity, anthropometric…
Protein interventions augment the effect of resistance exercise on appendicular lean mass and handgrip strength in older adults
The best possible self‐intervention as a viable public health tool for the prevention of type 2 diabetes
BACKGROUND: Public health initiatives seek to modify lifestyle behaviours associated with risk (e.g., diet, exercise, and smoking), but underpinning psychological and affective processes must also be considered to maximize success. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to qualitatively assess how participants engaged with and utilized the best possible self (BPS)-intervention specifically as a type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention tool. DESIGN AND METHODS: Four…
Efficacy of the Best Possible Self protocol in diabetes self-management
Recent research has demonstrated that positive affect may facilitate illness self-management. This study used a sequential exploratory mixed-methods typology to assess whether a brief writing task designed to boost positive affect (the Best Possible Self protocol) could improve aspects of diabetes self-management, specifically. A qualitative investigation explored people with diabetes' ( n = 20) views regarding Best Possible Self feasibility and …
Association between wasting and food insecurity among children under five years
Considering the increment in childhood wasting as per level of food insecurity, an integrated intervention should be developed in Nepal that, 1. addresses improving knowledge and behavior of community people with respect to diet and nutrition; 2. reduce the problem of food insecurity through agricultural interventions
Determinants of takeaway and fast food consumption
Out-of-home foods (takeaway, take-out and fast foods) have become increasingly popular in recent decades and are thought to be a key driver in increasing levels of overweight and obesity due to their unfavourable nutritional content. Individual food choices and eating behaviours are influenced by many interrelated factors which affect the results of nutrition-related public health interventions. While the majority of research based on out-of-home…
