Exploring dietitians' views on digital nutrition educational tools in Malaysia: a qualitative study.

Background/objectives: Dietitians frequently use nutrition education tools to facilitate dietary counselling sessions. Nevertheless, these tools may require adaptation to keep pace with technological advancements. This study had a 2-fold purpose: first, to identify the types of nutrition education tools currently in use, identify their limitations, and explore dietitians' perspectives on the importance of these tools; second, to investigate the features that dietitians prefer in digital nutrition education tools.

Description of a Hybrid Mindfulness-Integrated Multidisciplinary Workplace Weight Management Intervention Module 'Mind-SLIMSHAPE' Using the TIDieR Checklist.

Published reports of workplace-based weight management interventions are often poorly described and are focused on dietary, physical, and behavioral management. These strategies are often unsustainable and only have short-term effectiveness. The Mind-SLIMSHAPE is a mindfulness-integrated multidisciplinary intervention developed to address overweight and obesity problems among desk-bound employees while improving weight-related behavior through mindfulness meditation and mindful eating exercises.

Development and Evaluation of Integrated Chrono-Nutrition Weight Reduction Program among Overweight/Obese with Morning and Evening Chronotypes.

This paper describes the development of an integrated chrono-nutrition weight reduction program and the evaluation of the attendance, retention, satisfaction and compliance towards the chrono-nutrition components among morning and evening chronotypes for overweight/obese non-shift workers. The present study was conducted in two phases: Phase I was composed of needs assessments on the chronotypes’ dietary patterns and chrono-nutrition through a scoping review and integrating the chrono-nutrition components (temporal eating pattern, meal timing and sleeping habits) alongside the existing weight reduction module, SLIMSHAPE™. Phase II consisted of a feasibility study to evaluate the integrated chrono-nutrition weight reduction program (SLIMSHAPE™ Chrono).

Do Temporal Eating Patterns Differ in Healthy versus Unhealthy Overweight/Obese Individuals?

This study examined whether the temporal patterns of energy and macronutrient intake in early and late eating windows were associated with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) among non-shift workers. A total of 299 overweight/obese non-shift workers (Age: 40.3 ± 6.

Modified Munich chronotype questionnaire for application to short-interval split sleep of non-shift workers.

The Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ) has been widely validated among various types of populations. However, determination of chronotype among individuals who have a split sleep pattern with short intervals between the first and second sleep bouts on free days has not yet been reported. This study aimed to validate the MCTQ modified for this purpose by assessing the actual sleep-wake timing against the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ).

The Association between Chronotype and Dietary Pattern among Adults: A Scoping Review.

Chronotype reflects an individual's preferred time of the day for an activity/rest cycle and individuals can be classified as a morning, intermediate, or evening type. A growing number of studies have examined the relationship between chronotype and general health. This review aimed to map current evidence of the association between chronotype and dietary intake among the adult population.
