In the fully adjusted model, those who were in the top tertile of the ARFS significantly gained lower weight gain compared with the lower tertile for the plausible TEI sub-sample (β = -1.6 kg (95% CI: -2.67 to -0.56), P = 0.003). In the fully adjustment model, young women were classified in the highest FAVI tertile and gained significantly less weight than those in the lowest tertile for the plausible TEI (β = -1.6 kg (95% CI: -2.4 to -0.3) P = 0.01). In conclusion, overall diet quality measured by the ARFS and the frequency and variety of fruit and vegetable consumption may predict long-term weight gain in young women. Therefore, health promotion programs encouraging frequent consumption of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are warranted.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:30:11 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14519 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:27:14 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10468 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:19:21 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12455 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:49:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20357 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:35:43 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13786 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:25:33 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14531 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:18:53 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12423 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:52:40 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43920 Wed 05 Oct 2022 09:21:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25833 postpartum.

Compared with currently used measures such as cups and spoons, the IFU™ standardizes estimation of food volumes with metric measures. The IFU™ design is based on binary dimensional increments and the cubic shape facilitates portion size education and training, memory and recall, and computer processing which is binary in nature. Methods: The performance of the IFU™ was tested in a randomized between-subject experiment (n = 128 adults, 66 men) that estimated volumes of 17 foods using four methods; the IFU™ cube, a deformable modelling clay cube, a household measuring cup or no aid (weight estimation). Estimation errors were compared between groups using Kruskall-Wallis tests and post-hoc comparisons. Results: Estimation errors differed significantly between groups (H(3) = 28.48, p < .001). The volume estimations were most accurate in the group using the IFU™ cube (Mdn = 18.9%, IQR = 50.2) and least accurate using the measuring cup (Mdn = 87.7%, IQR = 56.1). The modelling clay cube led to a median error of 44.8% (IQR = 41.9). Compared with the measuring cup, the estimation errors using the IFU™ were significantly smaller for 12 food portions and similar for 5 food portions. Weight estimation was associated with a median error of 23.5% (IQR = 79.8). Conclusions: The IFU™ improves volume estimation accuracy compared to other methods. The cubic shape was perceived as favourable, with subdivision and multiplication facilitating volume estimation. Further studies should investigate whether the IFU™ can facilitate portion size training and whether portion size education using the IFU™ is effective and sustainable without the aid. A 3-dimensional IFU™ could serve as a reference object for estimating food volume.]]> Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:35:31 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25932 Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:31:12 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38739 Thu 20 Jan 2022 16:03:04 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42102 n=28) received access to an online calorie tracking program, smartphone app, three telephone counselling calls with a dietitian and written material. Women in two comparison groups (CI and C2) (n=48; n=43) were from the control (C1) and intervention (C2) arms of InFANT Extend and received no additional support. Weight and waist circumference were measured objectively. Written surveys assessed diet and physical activity. Sedentary behaviour was self-reported. Linear and logistic regression assessed changes in outcomes between groups from 9 to 18 months postpartum. Results: Mean PPWR decreased in the (I) group (-1.2kg) and the C2 group (-1.2kg), although the changes were not significant. Mean waist circumference for all groups exceeded recommendations at baseline but decreased to below recommendations for women in the (I) group (78.3cm) and significantly for the (I) group (-6.4cm) compared to C1 (-1.1cm; P=0.002) and C2 (-3.3cm; P=0.001).

The Gomeroi gaaynggal study was established to explore intrauterine origins of renal disease, diabetes and growth in order to inform the development of health programmes for Indigenous Australian women and children. Pregnant women are recruited from antenatal clinics in Tamworth, Newcastle and Walgett, New South Wales, Australia, by Indigenous research assistants. Measures are collected at three time points in pregnancy and from women and their children at up to eight time points in the child's first 5 years. Measures of fetal renal development and function include ultrasound and biochemical biomarkers. Dietary intake, infant feeding and anthropometric measurements are collected. Standardized procedures and validated tools are used where available. Since 2010 the study has recruited over 230 women, and retained 66 postpartum. Recruitment is ongoing, and Gomeroi gaaynggal is currently the largest Indigenous pregnancy-through-early-childhood cohort internationally. Baseline median gestational age was 39.1 weeks (31.5-43.2, n=110), median birth weight was 3180 g (910-5430 g, n=110). Over one third (39.3%) of infants were admitted to special care or neonatal nursery. Nearly half of mothers (47.5%) reported tobacco smoking during pregnancy. Results of the study will contribute to knowledge about origins of chronic disease in Indigenous Australians and nutrition and growth of women and their offspring during pregnancy and postpartum.

Mean gram error and meal size were negatively correlated (r = -0.70, P < 0.0001). The longer children had been CHO counting the greater the mean percentage error (r = 0.173, P = 0.014). Core foods in non-standard quantities were most frequently inaccurately estimated, while individually labelled foods were most often accurately estimated. Conclusions: Children with Type 1 diabetes and their caregivers can estimate the carbohydrate content of meals with reasonable accuracy. Teaching CHO counting in gram increments did not improve accuracy compared with CHO portions or exchanges. Large meals tended to be underestimated and snacks overestimated.

The 70-g meal produced higher glucose excursions after 2.5 h, with a maximum difference of 1.9 mmol/l at 3 h (P = 0.01), but the BGLs remained within international postprandial targets. Conclusions: In patients using intensive insulin therapy, an individually calculated insulin dose for 60 g of carbohydrate maintains postprandial BGLs for meals containing between 50 and 70 g of carbohydrate.
