Additionally, this experiment also aims to determine how should nutrient warning labels be designed to most effectively discourage consumption of products high in nutrients of concern among Indonesian consumers.

This study is a single-center, prospective, observational study. According to the sample size formula, an estimated 40 cases should be collected, all of whom are from the emergency intensive care unit. After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the enrolled patients will be transferred to the emergency intensive care unit for further standardized target temperature management (TTM). They will be divided into 33 ° C hypothermia group and 36 ° C hypothermia group according to the patient's core body temperature. The baseline data of the patients will be collected at the beginning. After admission to the hospital, they were fasted within 24 hours to reach the target temperature, and then 20kcal/kg/d parenteral nutrition will be given. At selected time points (T0: the initial time point before TTM; T1: the core temperature was reduced to 33 ° C or 36 ° C; T2-T4: 33 ° C or 36 ° C was maintained for 24h, 48h, 72h; T5: the end of rewarming; Tend: the last REE measurement before discharge or death) , various observation indicators will be collected, including resting energy expenditure (REE), glucose oxidation rate, fat oxidation rate, protein oxidation rate, and metabolism of three major nutrients Proportion. Neurological outcomes were followed up 28 days after onset according to the Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) score.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of an individualized enteral nutrition formula on clinical outcomes in critically ill adult patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the individualized nutrition group or the standard nutrition group. In the individualized group, the total daily amount of enteral nutrition will be calculated and adjusted daily based on the patient's resting energy expenditure (measured by indirect calorimetry) and serum protein levels. In the standard group, a fixed-dose formula will be administered according to routine clinical protocols recommended by current guidelines. The intervention will be initiated within 48 hours of ICU admission and continued for up to 14 days or until ICU discharge. The study will assess clinical prognosis, as well as changes in gut and pulmonary microbiota, serum metabolomics, and macronutrient balance. The findings may provide evidence for personalized nutrition strategies in critically ill patients.

KETO-FAST is a pre-planned translational substudy of the FAST-ICU cluster-randomized cross-over trial. The substudy will characterize ketone body production and associated metabolic, autophagy-related, and immune cellular responses during the first 72 hours after intensive care unit admission in critically ill patients exposed to delayed nutrition compared with patients receiving standard care. Patients enrolled in FAST-ICU at designated participating centers will undergo serial blood sampling during the first 72 hours after ICU admission. Plasma ketone body concentrations, targeted metabolomics, serum-induced cellular responses in vitro, leukocyte autophagy markers, and immune cell phenotypes and functional markers will be assessed. In addition, 10 healthy volunteers will perform a 72-hour fast with blood sampling to provide reference values from non-critically ill subjects.

This study is testing a new web-based tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help older adults in Hong Kong check how healthy their Cantonese-style meals are for brain health. The tool is based on the cMIND diet, a Chinese-adapted version of a known healthy eating pattern that may support memory and thinking skills. Participants will use the web app to take photos of their usual meals for at least 10 days over two weeks. The AI will automatically identify ingredients and give a score showing how well the meal follows the cMIND diet. The study will also ask participants to complete a short questionnaire and a brief interview to find out how easy and useful the tool is for older adults. The purpose of this small study is to see whether the AI tool is user-friendly and acceptable for older people. Results will help improve the tool for future use to support healthy ageing and brain health.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the impact of a home-delivered foods and kitchen skills program on health and nutrition in adults with high blood pressure and food insecurity.

The goal of this study is to learn whether eating a small serving of almonds before meals can improve blood sugar control in adults who have early signs of problems with blood sugar regulation. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does eating almonds before a meal reduce the rise in blood sugar after eating? 2. Do some people consistently benefit more than others from eating almonds before meals?

The goal of this Nutrition for Precision Health (NPH) powered by All of Us research study is to develop Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) algorithms that predict individual responses to diet patterns using rich multimodal data streams collected across multiple domains (e.g., behavior, social, environmental, clinical and molecular biomarkers). NPH includes a large phenotyping cohort (Module 1, N=8000) and two separate follow-up groups drawn from a subset of Module 1participants. One group (Module 2, N=1200) receives three distinct diets in a 14-day crossover sequence, with at least a 14-day washout period between diets, while living in their own homes. A second group (Module 3, N=150) receives the same three diets under full-time supervision in a residential research setting. We will train and test AI/ML models to predict 0-4 hour postprandial response curves for glucose, insulin, triglycerides, and GLP-1, to the standardized diet-specific meal test (DSMT) collected after each of the three different diets delivered in Module 2. Each diet functions as a controlled stimulus to reveal biological features (such as individual variables, patterns, or clusters of measurements) that best predict a person's response. The Module 2 DSMT response curves are the primary outcomes (dependent variables) for AI/ML algorithms that predict individual responses to diet patterns. As a secondary objective, NPH will evaluate the validity and acceptability of technology-based dietary assessment tools. The Automated Self-Administered 24-hour recall (ASA24), Automatic Ingestion Monitor-2 (AIM-2), and the mobile food record (mFR) will be evaluated in Modules 2 and 3, and the ASA24 food record and the image-assisted ASA24 recall will be evaluated only in Module 3. Total energy intake, macronutrient and dietary fiber intake data are the main outcomes for validity testing compared against measures of actual intake. Acceptability will be determined from feedback surveys.

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effects of Early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE) combined with a multicomponent exercise program on bone health, physical function, and fall risk in healthy older adults. A total of approximately 44 healthy adults aged 60 years and older will be recruited and randomly assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group will follow an Early Time-Restricted Eating schedule combined with a structured multicomponent exercise program. The control group will not receive any dietary timing intervention or structured exercise program and will continue their usual daily lifestyle. The intervention will last for 6 months. Participants in the exercise program will perform supervised sessions including resistance training, balance exercises, aerobic activity, and flexibility exercises. The Early Time-Restricted Eating protocol will involve consuming all daily food intake within an early daytime window while maintaining usual dietary quality and adequate energy and nutrient intake. The main outcomes of the study include changes in bone mineral density, gait performance, balance, and fall risk. These outcomes will be measured at baseline and after the intervention period. This study will provide evidence on whether combining early time-restricted eating with structured exercise can improve musculoskeletal health and functional ability, and reduce fall risk in older adults.

Poniżej znajduje się bardziej płynna i mniej powtarzalna wersja tekstu: This 12-week randomized controlled trial will investigate the effects of dietary patterns with different macronutrient compositions on gut microbiota, intestinal inflammation, gene expression, and metabolic health in healthy adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three dietary interventions: a ketogenic diet (KD), a vegetarian diet (VD), or a control diet (CD) reflecting their habitual mixed dietary pattern. Adherence to the assigned diet will be monitored through dietary records and regular nutritional counseling. The study will evaluate changes in gut microbiota composition, inflammatory biomarkers, transcriptomic profiles, and blood biochemical parameters associated with lipid and glucose metabolism. Blood and stool samples will be collected at predefined time points throughout the intervention, while participants in the KD group will additionally undergo ketone monitoring to assess dietary compliance. By comparing the ketogenic and vegetarian diets with a standard mixed diet, this study aims to determine their effects on gut health, metabolic function, and systemic inflammation, thereby providing evidence to inform dietary recommendations.

Scientific context The increase in the consumption of unhealthy food coupled with a suboptimal consumption of healthier options have increased the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCD) worldwide. Among other public policies to address the rise in NCD -such as front of pack labelling, regulation of food and beverages in schools, marketing regulations targeted to children- taxation has been recognized as a cost-effective strategy to reduce consumption of taxed products. Although subsidies have been used to reduce food insecurity, with the rise in NCD associated with unhealthy diets, studies have explored the feasibility of combining subsidies to incentivize the consumption healthy food with taxes on unhealthy options. The impact of prices on dietary behaviour of consumers has been demonstrated in experimental designs as well as in economic analysis of observational data on purchases. Although some experimental studies have been used to study the impact of taxation and subsidies among specific populations in France, none has evaluated the impact in the general population. Objective The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of implementing taxes on unhealthy food and beverages and subsidies to healthy food, separately and combined, on the nutritional quality of purchases, overall and by income level, in an experimental online supermarket. Intervention description: The intervention includes taxation of lower nutritional quality products (identified using the front-of-pack nutrition label Nutri-Score - classes D and E) and/or subsidies for products of higher nutritional quality (identified as raw products or Nutri-Score A and B). Design The intervention will be a parallel arm randomized trial stratified by income against a control situation with no changes in prices and the presence of the Nutri-Score on-pack for all pre-packed products in all interventions (control, taxes and subsidies). Expected public health impact: This study will allow to investigate the potential synergistic effect on the nutritional quality of food choices of combining taxation and income-based subsidies in a context of social inequalities in rising non-communicable disease associated with poor diets. Following a proportional universalism perspective, income-based subsidies can mitigate the regressivity of taxation according to income. As no countries have implemented this combination of fiscal policies to improve diets, the results of this study will contribute to the scientific knowledge on the topic and will provide preliminary results to decision makers.

Small Quantity Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements (SQ-LNS), are fortified, lipid-based nutritional supplements that were specifically designed for children 6-24 months to prevent malnutrition. Recent research has shown reductions in mortality, severe wasting, severe stunting, iron deficiency anemia, and developmental delays. SQ-LNS is currently available in individual daily dose packets of 20g. Healthy children age 6-24 months receive 1 packet per day (1dp), and are typically given a 1- or 2- month supply at a time (30-60 packets). Recently, Nutriset Développement has developed a new packaging design for SQ-LNS that reduces the cost by over 15% overall, through production efficiency with 40% less packaging, and improved transportation efficiency by 20%. This new packaging is a 140g packet that will allow 20g to be dispensed daily for 7 days (7dp). The packaging has a chamber that will allow for accurate 10g dosing (either twice daily, or twice at once). Users of the packaging will also be able to close the spout to minimize risk of microbiological contamination. Edesia Nutrition is working with Nutriset to conduct field testing of this new packaging for SQ-LNS, and this mixed-methods study in North Shoa Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia, will help inform recommendations for the future use of the package. The study seeks to determine (1) the acceptability of integrating SQ-LNS distribution into the malnutrition program; (2) whether adherence to the 2 different package types differs, and if there are differences in usage; (3) and how the packages perform over time, their perceived safety and functionality, and how they are stored. Educational and communication tools will be developed and pre-tested as part of this study, and will become part of the final deliverable package to Edesia Nutrition, in addition to final recommendations on the product packaging, findings about how the packages are used, and behavior change and nutrition education strategies. The primary outcome of the quantitative evaluation will be adherence, calculated as the number of delivered doses of SQ-LNS divided by the number of expected doses per week (7). Adherence will be measured via weekly self-report via caregiver interview and counts of return of used and unused packages during weekly home visits. The percentage of children who receive a dose during structured observation periods will be calculated. Each adherence outcome will be analyzed separately.

The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate the effects of plant foods on gastrointestinal and cardiometabolic health in healthy adults aged 30-70 years old. The main question it will answer is "what is the effect of plant foods on alpha-diversity of the gut microbiota?". Researchers will compare two diets containing plant foods to see if they have different effects on gastrointestinal and cardiometabolic health. Participants will be asked to replace all their meals, snacks and drinks with those provided by the study team for four weeks (6 days/week). Participants will also be asked to attend the research facility on three occasions to: * Provide a blood sample * Provide a urine sample * Provide a stool sample * Have their body composition assessed * Have an ultrasound of their artery (arm) * Have their blood pressure measured * Answer questionnaires related to dietary intake, mental health, physical activity, quality of life, diet acceptability and adherence

Low-glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates help prevent type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease by reducing postprandial glucose, insulin spikes, inflammation, and triglyceride synthesis. They improve weight, lipid profiles, and vascular health. Our study will compare functional low-GI vs. standard wholegrain carbs in a Mediterranean diet to assess their effect on the Triglycerides-Glucose Index, a marker of metabolic and cardiovascular risk, in subjects with suboptimal triglyceride levels.

There are few public health and educational policies specifically aimed at promoting physical activity, healthy dietary habits, and reducing sedentary behaviour among adolescents from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. ePro-Schools will co-design, pilot and evaluate an evidence-based program, delivered via a modular eHealth platform, to promote physical activity and healthy eating, and reduce time in sedentary behaviours. A profound co-creation process involving adolescents, school staff, and policymakers-alongside the adaptation of previous interventions by consortium members-will support the program's development. The ePro-Schools platform will contain modules for adolescents and their parents, teachers and school administration. Although the platform will be implemented through schools, it will include content to be implemented outside the school setting. The intervention program will be evaluated through a randomised controlled trial conducted in six secondary schools in Central Catalonia that aims to include 1000 adolescents. Schools have been randomised (1:1) into an intervention and a waiting-list control group. The evaluation of the program includes effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and process evaluation. Physical activity, sedentary behaviour and eating habits are the primary effectiveness outcomes of the trial. Secondary outcomes include fitness, water consumption, quality of life, depressive symptoms, social isolation and sleep quality. Using implementation science methodology, ePro-Schools will co-design transferable evidence-based practices and methodologies and guidance for scaling up the platform with policymakers and stakeholders, as well as informing specialists, policymakers and the general public.
