Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on evaluating and comparing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess medication adherence in patients with cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes, highlighting its importance in reducing mortality and healthcare costs.
- Following established guidelines, the research included 110 records of 27 different PROMs, reviewed for their measurement properties over the years 1986 to 2023, mainly from the US and published in English.
- None of the PROMs were classified as highly trustworthy for use, with some deemed unsuitable, while 21 others showed potential for recommendation based on their measurement quality.
Background: Ambivalence towards food and diet, which favours behavioural inertia, might be a barrier to adopting healthier eating behaviours. Measuring it can help researchers to better understand its relationship with behaviour change and design interventions aimed at resolving it. In this scoping review, we map and describe methods and tools employed in studies to assess, measure or classify the ambivalence of participants towards food- and diet-related attitude objects.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional population-based study with a sample of 912 adolescents, participants of a food consumption survey conducted in 2015-2016, in Campinas, SP, Brazil.
Results: The prevalence of the perception of eating more than one should was 35.
Purpose: Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a medium-chain fatty acid source with popularly attributed benefits on obesity management. However, its role on obesity requires elucidation due to its saturated nature. In the study herein, we investigated acute effects of VCO consumption on energy metabolism, cardiometabolic risk markers, and appetitive responses in women with excess body fat.
