[Effects of non-face-to-face gait and muscle strength training for urinary incontinence in community-dwelling middle-aged and older women: A randomized controlled trial].

Objectives　Although the effectiveness of status-to-interview-guided exercise therapy to improve urinary incontinence has been reported, reports on non-face-to-face guided exercise therapy are lacking. This study aimed to analyze the effect of using non-face-to-face training guidance for walking and strength training on the frequency and degree of urinary incontinence and improvement in the urinary incontinence-induced decline in the quality of life (QoL) of community-dwelling middle-aged and older women.Methods　This study included 68 women, aged 46-64 years, having self-evaluated stress urinary incontinence.

Measurement of resistant starch content in cooked rice and analysis of gelatinization and retrogradation characteristics.

Digestion-resistant starch (RS) has many physiologic functions. The RS content is measured by enzymatically degrading flour samples according to the method of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists. Experiments have been performed with wheat, corn, and other grains, but there are no data for cooked rice grains in the form ingested by humans.

Dietary supplementation with hydroxypropyl-distarch phosphate from waxy maize starch increases resting energy expenditure by lowering the postprandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide response in human subjects.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of hydroxypropyl-distarch phosphate (HDP) supplementation on postprandial energy metabolism and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in human subjects. A total of ten healthy male subjects, with a mean BMI of 23·6 (SEM 1·3) kg/m(2), age 35·2 (SEM 1·9) years and body weight 71·1 (SEM 4·0) kg, participated in a randomised, cross-over, intervention study with two different test meals (1673·6 kJ) containing either waxy maize starch or HDP from waxy maize starch (degree of substitution 0·154, P content 0·004 %). Resting energy expenditure (REE) and blood concentrations of various biomarkers were measured at fasting and up to 180 min postprandially.
