AI Article Synopsis
- * The trial involved 121 participants receiving either the ENP or a health education program, with various physical and nutritional assessments conducted throughout the study.
- * Results showed no significant improvement in physical function or nutrition for the ENP group, and participants actually decreased their weekly physical activity; implementation challenges were noted in the senior living environment.
Article Abstract
This cluster-randomized trial was designed to determine the efficacy of a 6-month exercise-nutritional supplement program (ENP) on physical function and nutritional status for older adults and the feasibility of implementing this program in a senior living setting. Twenty senior-living facilities were randomized to either a 3 day per week group-based ENP led by a trained facility staff member or a health education program (SAP). Participants (N = 121) completed a short physical performance battery, 400-m walk, handgrip strength test, and mini-nutrition assessment. 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], insulin-like growth-factor 1 (IGF-1), and activity level were also measured. The ENP did not significantly improve physical function or nutritional status compared with the SAP. Compared with baseline, participants in the ENP engaged in 39 min less physical activity per week at 6 months. Several facility characteristics hindered implementation of the ENP. This study highlights the complexity of implementing an evidence-based program in a field setting.

Background: Nutritional problem after surgery for Hirschprung's disease (HSCR) was not optimistic. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of postoperative undernutrition for patients with HSCR and establish a scoring system for predicting postoperative undernutrition.
Methods: Retrospective review of 341 patients with HSCR who received Laparoscopic-assisted pull-through surgery in a tertiary-level pediatric hospital was conducted with assessments of clinical data.
Developing the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) awareness scale to assess an education module for improving dietary behavior among college students.

Departmant of Nutrition and Dietetics, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) awareness scale and examine whether having a DOHaD education module may affect dietary behavior in college students.
Background: Some studies conducted within the scope of the DOHaD hypothesis show associations between early-life environmental factors, especially maternal health and nutritional status, with the next generation's health and disease status. Despite the increase in elucidating of the underpinning mechanisms of early life determinants and chronic disease risk, there is limited knowledge on how public perceive and understand DOHaD concepts.
Prognostic value of inflammatory and nutritional indexes among patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with chemotherapy-a retrospective study.
PeerJ
December 2024
Department of Oncology, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
Background: Recent studies have revealed that inflammatory factors and nutritional status of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) are related to the efficacy of drug therapy and patient prognosis. This study seeks to evaluate the correlation between inflammatory markers, nutritional status, and clinical outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapies among inoperable AGC patients.
Method: This retrospective study included 88 AGC patients who received ICIs combined with chemotherapy.
