Diabetes educational interventions in care homes
Ultra-processed food intake and impairment across multiple cognitive domains in nationally representative older U.S. adults
Introduction: Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption, which accounts for more than 50% of energy intake in the U.S., has steadily increased among older adults over the past decade. UPF consumption is associated with overall cognitive decline, but few studies have examined the associations between UPF consumption and individual cognitive domains. In this study, we examined associations between UPF consumption and impairment in executive function, …
Awareness, facilitators, barriers, and behaviours surrounding brain health
Understanding of brain health and dementia risk reduction was variable in this large sample of UK and Irish citizens. There were identified gaps in awareness of risk factors relating to cardiometabolic health, hearing loss, and air pollution. These findings highlight the need for credible sources of accessible and relevant information to improve awareness and behaviours surrounding brain health
Methodological considerations of diet assessment of the older Indian population in the longitudinal aging study in India—Harmonised Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia (Lasi-DAD)
The LASI-DAD FFQ proved to be a good tool for dietary data collection from a diverse, older Indian population. It is a single, comprehensive questionnaire adapted to the diverse dietary habits of older Indian population factoring in socio-economic, geographic, cultural, religious and seasonal variations, and it will help explore potential associations between diet and late-life cognition in older Indians
Food Insecurity and Dementia Risk in U.S. Older Adults
Food insecurity is a modifiable social determinant of health. Interventions and policies are needed to reduce food insecurity and promote healthy aging for older adults
The effectiveness of peer-supported interventions for encouraging dietary behaviour change in adults
Objective There is an urgent need to find effective methods of supporting individuals to make dietary behaviour changes. Peer-supported interventions (PSI) have been suggested as a cost-effective strategy to support chronic disease self-management. However, the effect of PSI on dietary behaviour is unclear. The present systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of PSI for encouraging dietary behaviour change in adults and to consider int…
Trial to Encourage Adoption and Maintenance of a Mediterranean Diet (Team-MED)
Adoption of a Mediterranean diet (MD) reduces cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, interventions to achieve dietary behaviour change are typically resource intensive. Peer support offers a potentially low-cost approach to encourage dietary change. The primary objective of this randomised controlled trial is to explore the feasibility of peer support versus a previously tested dietetic-led intervention to encourage MD behaviour change, and …
Development of a peer support intervention to encourage dietary behaviour change towards a Mediterranean diet in adults at high cardiovascular risk
The MRC and BCW frameworks provided a systematic and complementary process for development of a theory-based peer support intervention to encourage dietary behaviour change towards a MD in non-Mediterranean adults at high CVD risk. The next step is to evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and diet behaviour change outcomes in response to the peer support intervention (change towards a MD and nutrient biomarkers) using a randomized controlled trial…
A qualitative analysis exploring preferred methods of peer support to encourage adherence to a Mediterranean diet in a Northern European population at high risk of cardiovascular disease
A group-based approach was the preferred method of peer support to encourage a population at high risk of CVD to adhere to a MD. This finding should be recognised in the development of interventions to encourage adoption of a MD in a Northern European population
Vegetarian diets, low-meat diets and health
Objective To review the epidemiological evidence for vegetarian diets, low-meat dietary patterns and their association with health status in adults. Design Published literature review focusing primarily on prospective studies and meta-analyses examining the association between vegetarian diets and health outcomes. Results Both vegetarian diets and prudent diets allowing small amounts of red meat are associated with reduced risk of diseases, parti…
