Article Synopsis
- Obese individuals generally have lower energy expenditure (EE), and this study focuses on the impacts of food intake factors on diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) in them.
- A systematic review of 15 relevant studies explored how different dietary components, such as macronutrient ratios and supplements, affected DIT in obese people, revealing variable outcomes.
- Findings indicated that higher protein or carbohydrate ratios compared to fat can boost DIT, and specific nutrients like calcium and vitamin D improved DIT, but overall, the relationship between DIT and obesity remains complex and unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of muscle power training with elastic band on body composition, glucose relation factor, and physical function in elderly women with hyperglycemia.
Methods: A total of 16 elderly women volunteered to participate in this study as subjects, and they were randomly assigned into one of the following two groups: muscle power training group (MPT: n = 8) and control group (CON: n = 8). The muscle power training group took exercise program using elastic band for 12 weeks, and the other group did not receive any exercise program during the same period.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationships among the psychological, social, and environmental factors influencing the utilization of senior centers among older adults in Korea.
Methods: A questionnaire survey was administered to two types of older adults who lived in Seoul, Korea: 262 older adults who used senior centers (3 places) and 156 older adults who did not use senior centers.
Results: Our results showed clearly that the utilization of the senior centers in Korea is affected by higher self-efficacy (odds ratio [OR], 6.
