The document discusses whether diet sodas are healthy alternatives to sugary sodas. While diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners instead of sugar, some studies have linked frequent diet soda consumption to health risks like metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and decreased bone mineral density. The largest study to date involving over 450,000 people found that drinking two or more sodas per day, regardless of sugar or artificial sweeteners, was associated with increased risk of early death. However, other studies have found artificial sweeteners may cause less weight gain than sugar. The document concludes that while people have the right to choose what they consume, diet sodas appear to negatively affect health in similar ways to sugary drinks based on recent evidence

This document summarizes research on promoting physical activity. It finds that:
1) Simply communicating health risks is not effective at changing behavior, but combining risk information with strategies to improve self-efficacy and response efficacy can have larger effects.
2) Brief interventions that focus on goal setting, action planning, and overcoming barriers can successfully increase walking levels.
3) Techniques shown to improve both self-efficacy and physical activity include action planning, reinforcing progress, instruction, and graded tasks.
4) Older adults want physical activity experiences that are enjoyable, social, and allow improvements in function at their own pace without pressure. Satisfaction and self-efficacy predict long-term

Age UK aims to help people enjoy later life through physical activity programs. Their data shows that physical activity decreases with age for both men and women. Their programs include Fit as a Fiddle, which has engaged over 450,000 older adults in activities. Other programs provide one-on-one support and group classes to over 9,000 older people. Partnerships and marketing have helped engage volunteers and referrals from health services. Benefits reported by older adults include social and adaptable activities that match individuals' abilities.
This document discusses complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) for children with arthritis. It provides goals of giving parents tools to make informed decisions about CAM with their child's physician. It discusses the importance of evaluating CAM therapies for evidence of effectiveness and safety, and recommends reliable sources like clinical trials published in peer-reviewed journals. The document also summarizes studies on specific diets and supplements for arthritis, noting a lack of strong evidence and need for caution with restrictive diets in children.

Regular exercise is associated with a reduced risk of dementia. A 30-year study found those participating in moderate exercise 2-4 times per week had a 60% lower risk of dementia. While observational studies link exercise to lower dementia rates, intervention trials results have been mixed as to whether exercise can directly reduce cognitive decline. More research is still needed to determine the optimal intensity and duration of exercise for maintaining cognitive health in older adults. Public awareness of exercise's role in reducing dementia risk is currently poor.
Linda Bauld presentation- Exercise and Health conferencemckenln
Physical inactivity is linked to certain cancers, with approximately 1% of UK cancers each year directly attributed to inactivity. Regular physical activity reduces cancer risk through various mechanisms like reducing inflammation and hormone levels. Government guidelines recommend a minimum of 2.5 hours of moderate activity per week. Physical activity also benefits cancer patients and survivors by reducing tiredness and improving well-being and quality of life. Cancer Research UK aims to address preventable cancers through research, fellowships, and public information on the role of physical activity in cancer prevention and survivorship.

The document proposes adding a Body Acceptance Program (BAP) curriculum to an existing peer mentoring program at Bear Creek High School to address issues like nutrition, exercise habits, and body image among freshmen students. The program aims to decrease unhealthy behaviors by statistically significantly increasing students' knowledge of nutrition, healthy exercise cognitions, and body image through weekly sessions over the school year. Pre- and post-tests will measure outcomes. The target population is the approximately 425 freshmen at the racially and economically diverse high school located in Lakewood, Colorado, an area with high rates of eating disorders and childhood obesity.
This document outlines a proposed study investigating the effects of an after-school physical activity intervention on children's physical activity levels. The study would use a quasi-experimental design comparing an intervention group receiving the multi-component after-school program to a control group receiving usual after-school care. Physical activity would be directly observed at baseline and follow-up using the SOFIT protocol. The author hypothesizes that the after-school intervention will significantly increase physical activity levels in the intervention group compared to the control group.

This document provides tips for staying healthy in an environment designed to promote obesity. It notes that most Americans are now overweight or obese due to factors like large portions, less walking, and constant access to food. Common diet and exercise strategies often fail because they are not sustainable lifestyle changes and shock the body. Instead, it recommends exercising portion control, creating a supportive micro environment, drinking water instead of calorie-rich drinks, taking short exercise breaks, eating more vegetables, getting adequate sleep, and managing stress to promote long-term healthy habits.

This document discusses how the built environment impacts children's health, with a focus on physical activity. It provides guidelines for designing communities and schools to promote physical activity in children. Some key points:
- Urban sprawl is associated with increased daily driving among teenagers. Teens in more sprawling counties were over twice as likely to drive over 20 miles per day compared to those in more compact counties.
- Factors like school location have significantly reduced walking to school over time. Changes to policy and the built environment may help increase the number of children able to walk to school.
- Designing communities with parks, open spaces, and policies that support walkability and physical activity can provide opportunities for recreational physical activity.

This document discusses methods for assessing the nutritional status of a community. It describes direct methods like anthropometric measurements of height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). Indirect methods include analyzing economic, cultural, and social factors. The main goals of nutritional assessment are to identify malnutrition risks, current cases of malnutrition, and inform health programs and interventions. Assessment results can be used to take action by developing solutions based on the nutritional situation and available resources.
The client, a 21-year-old male nursing student, completed a Real Age assessment that found his biological age was slightly younger than his chronological age. His positives included a healthy weight, physical activity, and positive outlook. However, his diet lacked variety and included too much processed food. Using the nursing process and Transtheoretical Model of behavior change, a care plan was created focusing on increasing fruits/vegetables and whole grains while decreasing processed foods. The client kept a weekly food log showing efforts to follow the plan, though some processed foods remained. Feedback encouraged continued adherence to goals of a balanced diet and lifestyle changes.
This document provides an overview of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science & Policy at Tufts University. It discusses the school's academic programs and research focuses, which include areas like global food security, public health and nutrition, and biochemical and molecular nutrition. The document also outlines the school's research centers and facilities, including the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. It notes the school is ranked #1 for nutrition research and has field-based research programs around the world. The dean discusses opportunities for future growth in areas like climate change and sustainability, food systems policy, and community intervention science.
The document summarizes guidelines for improving health and sustainability in institutional food service. It discusses guidelines created by the CDC and GSA to apply the Dietary Guidelines for Americans to federal food operations. The guidelines aim to increase healthy and sustainable food choices in federal cafeterias, vending machines, and concessions. Adopting the guidelines could help make healthy eating easier for over 100 million people and influence norms beyond the federal workforce.
1. Community nutrition focuses on assessing the nutritional status of individuals in a community, identifying nutritional problems and their causes, and developing programs and policies to improve nutrition.
2. Assessing the nutritional status of a community involves determining the prevalence of malnutrition through anthropometric, biochemical and clinical measurements of individuals, as well as understanding dietary habits and food security issues.
3. The data collected from various assessment methods is then used to design appropriate community nutrition interventions, such as nutrition education programs, to address the nutritional problems identified and improve health outcomes.
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of over 1,000 UK shoppers on their attitudes towards health and understanding of health messages. It finds that while three-quarters claim to be eating healthily, only a third exercise weekly. Most shoppers and their families are overweight. Nutrition labels are confusing and shoppers rely on simple cues like calories and fat content. Healthy foods are perceived as more expensive.
Grains, both whole and enriched, play a vital role
in a healthy diet. One benefit is that they’re great
sources of antioxidants, fiber, B vitamins, vitamin E,
magnesium, iron, folic acid, and other vitamins and
minerals.

The document discusses ensuring access to animal-source foods for poor and nutritionally vulnerable populations. It argues that a multidimensional food systems approach is needed that considers production, access, and nutrition together. A case study of a dairy development project in East Africa found some evidence it increased milk consumption and child nutrition, though impacts were complicated by changes in household income control and women's workloads. More research is still needed to fully understand agriculture's role in nutrition within local food systems contexts.
Deanna Hoelscher, Ph.D, R.D., L.D. - "Eat Your Vegetables! Benefits of Health...youth_nex
This document summarizes a presentation on healthy eating in youth. It discusses:
- Why children need a healthy diet for energy, growth, and preventing chronic diseases.
- Current dietary recommendations and guidelines for children's nutrition.
- Trends showing youth diets are high in unhealthy foods like sugary drinks and low in fruits and vegetables.
- Options for improving children's diets through nutrition education, parenting practices, and environmental changes.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in nutrition from a college textbook. It includes chapter outlines, learning outcomes, definitions of important terms, and examples. The key points covered are:
- There are six classes of nutrients and different roles of each in the body
- Many lifestyle and dietary factors influence chronic disease risk in Americans
- The metric system and calories are used to measure nutrients and energy in food
- Healthy People 2020 aims to promote health and reduce chronic disease through nutrition
This document discusses nutritional surveys and their evaluation. It begins by defining nutrition and nutritional surveys. Nutritional surveys are important for identifying at-risk groups, developing health programs, and measuring program effectiveness. The document then discusses methods of assessing nutritional status, including anthropometric measurements, biochemical tests, clinical exams, and dietary evaluations. It provides examples of nutritional surveys and indicators used in different countries and in India, where undernutrition and new lifestyle-related diseases are both problems. Major nutritional programs in India are also mentioned.
This document discusses opportunities and challenges around reducing meat consumption. It notes that industrial meat production contributes significantly to ecological burden and disease. While most people recognize meat consumption impacts health and the environment, only a third are willing to eat less meat. Trends show public opinion is shifting as concerns grow around animal welfare, food safety, and the environment. Successful strategies for reducing meat focus on integrating evidence, understanding values and preferences, and making changes easy and desirable. Further interventions could focus on co-benefits like nutrition, well-being, and food literacy. Next steps proposed include focus groups to explore knowledge, attitudes and preferences on processed meat specifically.
This document summarizes a webinar on promoting employee health and wellness. It discusses how investing in worker health can build a culture of wellness and reduce healthcare costs. Obesity, stress, and lack of physical activity are negatively impacting employee and public health. The webinar promotes adopting comprehensive worksite wellness programs that integrate health promotion, occupational safety, and flexible work policies. It provides an overview of the CDC's Total Worker Health approach and resources for designing healthier work environments and policies.
Explore the measures and metrics that aided the Snohomish County Health Leadership Coalition, in their search of a Strategic Focus and how the LiveHealthy2020 initiative came to be. Consider the ways that Snohomish County can work together and measure their success of a Countywide scale.
This document discusses how lifestyle choices can impact health and longevity. It suggests that daily decisions around diet, exercise, stress, and other behaviors directly affect physical health over time. Poor diet is linked to increased risk of serious diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. While genes and environment also play a role, lifestyle factors like smoking, inactivity, and consuming unhealthy foods can significantly increase risks. The document encourages exploring ways to improve lifestyle, such as eating more nutritious foods, being more active, managing stress levels, and avoiding tobacco.
The document discusses how lifestyle choices impact health. It notes that daily decisions around diet and exercise directly affect physical development at a cellular level. An unhealthy diet is linked to increased risk of diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Specific lifestyle factors that increase disease risk are discussed, like eating fast food, red meat, saturated fats and simple carbohydrates. The document emphasizes that lifestyle diseases can often be avoided through healthy choices related to nutrition, physical activity, avoiding tobacco, and managing stress and weight.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
