The disruption in daily activity performance during COVID-19 lockdowns is widely understood to have impacted health, but a better understanding of how restricted specific activities are associated with health needed. This cross-sectional study answers the following question: How were changes 16 lockdowns? A total 116 participants completed an online survey rating their before and comparing recollection lockdowns. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was used estimate relationship between self-reported concurrent (during-lockdown) status, while controlling for pre-COVID-19 status. Only that uniquely significantly lockdown status retained final model. Health accounted 3.7% ( P = 0.039) variance After COVID-19, five types predictive lockdowns, together accounting 48.3% variance. These variances they rest sleep (29.5%, < 0.001), play recreational (8%, work (4.8%, 0.002), personal hygiene (3.2%, 0.01), healthy eating (2.8%, 0.013). suggests these should be prioritized policy or interventions when participation constrained by comparable factors.

A cross-sectional design was used, employing validated NutSo-HH scale gather data on nutrition, lifestyle, socio-demographic factors. The CatBoost method combined SHAP applied. sample included 22,181 adults: 17,573 followed Mediterranean diet, 1425 were vegetarians, 365 vegans, 1018 practiced intermittent fasting. Fish consumption strongest indicator, vegans abstaining some vegetarians consuming it occasionally. Age influenced diet: younger individuals preferred vegan/vegetarian diets, while older adults adhered diet. Vegans consumed less junk food, fasters more physically active. model effectively predicts but struggles others due imbalance, highlighting need for larger studies plant-based fasting diets.

Background: Clinical nutrition is essential in nursing care, with nurses playing a key role supporting patients’ dietary needs. Aim: To assess the impact of active learning methodologies on clinical education, focusing knowledge retention among students. Methods: Using quasi-experimental research design, we enrolled 131 s-year Both groups attended an eight-hour seminar nutrition, incorporating critical thinking. The experimental group had prior exposure to and ICT their first-year course, while control received traditional teaching. Knowledge was assessed using validated questionnaire basic nutrition. Results: scored higher both indicating that improves immediate long-term retention. One year later, they retained significant knowledge, particularly regarding nutrient–disease relationships. Conclusions: Active learning, thinking, enhances short- outcomes education. Future studies should refine assessment tools explore further integration into curricula.

Implicit associations, i.e., automatically activated attitudes and intuitions, may contribute to isolated food choices body weight. Studies of food-related implicit associations have yielded mixed results not explored their role in eating behaviors or dietary patterns. We examined toward the palatability acceptability (vs. shame) healthy relationships with self-reported (eating absence hunger) patterns (fruit, vegetable, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption) socioeconomic indicators. Two US samples (i.e., Palatable Food, n = 11,504; Acceptable 12,128) from Project Health were analyzed. measured Association Tests.

A high-fat, high-sugar diet (HFHS) is known to exacerbate oxidative stress and behavioral dysfunctions, increasing susceptibility cognitive decline. This study aimed evaluate the effects of Stevia rebaudiana Stachys sieboldii on lipid peroxidation alterations in rats fed an HFHS diet. Forty Wistar were divided into four groups: a control group standard diet, group, two experimental groups receiving supplemented with either or for 30 days. Behavioral responses assessed using Open Field Test, markers (malondialdehyde, conjugated dienes, ketodienes, Schiff bases) measured brain homogenates. significantly reduced by 30–51%, whereas decreased hyperactive locomotor behavior 63–68%. Correlation analysis revealed strong associations between parameters. These findings suggest that more effective reducing stress, while better regulates excessive locomotion. Both plant-based supplements exhibit neuroprotective potential, distinct mechanisms action, supporting their use as dietary interventions mitigate function.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a major public health issue, especially among individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), where its prevalence can reach up to 70%. This research examines the relationship between Healthy Eating Index 2020 (HEI-2020) and individual components occurrence of NAFLD in T2DM patients, while also investigating potential mediating effects various metabolic indicators. Data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2007 2018 were utilized. cross-section study included 1,770 who divided into non-NAFLD groups using Fatty Liver as diagnostic tool. The HEI-2020, which assesses diet quality, was computed based on 24-h dietary recall data. Key indicators such triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, score (MS), mean arterial pressure, uric acid levels, total cholesterol evaluated. findings indicated that higher HEI-2020 scores associated lower likelihood (odds ratio 0.978, 95% confidence interval: 0.959-0.998), strongest inverse associations observed top quartiles quality. Whole fruits, greens beans, saturated fat crucial factors. Mediation analysis demonstrated TyG index MS accounted for 5.11 36.94% NAFLD, respectively. Greater adherence is partially this association. Enhancing particularly by increasing consumption whole fruits reducing intake, may be important managing function vulnerable population.
