A full effectiveness trial is now needed. Aims: To determine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of Rugby Fans In Training-NZ (RUFIT-NZ) on weight loss, fitness, blood pressure, lifestyle change, and health related quality of life (HRQoL) at 12- and 52-weeks. Methods: We conducted a pragmatic, two-arm, multi-center, randomized controlled trial in NZ with 378 (target 308) overweight and obese men aged 30-65 years, randomized to an intervention group or wait-list control group. The 12-week RUFIT-NZ program was a gender-sensitised, healthy lifestyle intervention delivered through professional rugby clubs. Each intervention session included: i) a 1-h workshop-based education component focused on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, sedentary behavior, and learning evidence-based behavior change strategies for sustaining a healthier lifestyle; and 2) a 1-h group-based, but individually tailored, exercise training session. The control group were offered RUFIT-NZ after 52-weeks. The primary outcome was change in body weight from baseline to 52-weeks. Secondary outcomes included change in body weight at 12-weeks, waist circumference, blood pressure, fitness (cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal), lifestyle behaviors (leisure-time physical activity, sleep, smoking status, and alcohol and dietary quality), and health-related quality of life at 12- and 52-weeks. Results: Our final analysis included 200 participants (intervention n = 103; control n = 97) who were able to complete the RUFIT-NZ intervention prior to COVID-19 restrictions. At 52-weeks, the adjusted mean group difference in weight change (primary outcome) was -2.77 kg (95% CI -4.92 to -0.61), which favored the intervention group. The intervention also resulted in favorable significant differences in weight change and fruit and vegetable consumption at 12-weeks; and waist circumference, fitness outcomes, physical activity levels, and health-related quality of life at both 12 and 52 weeks. No significant intervention effects were observed for blood pressure, or sleep. Incremental cost-effective ratios estimated were $259 per kg lost, or $40,269 per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Conclusion: RUFIT-NZ resulted in sustained positive changes in weight, waist circumference, physical fitness, self-reported physical activity, selected dietary outcomes, and health-related quality of life in overweight/obese men. As such, the program should be recommended for sustained delivery beyond this trial, involving other rugby clubs across NZ.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:35:22 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46177 10% weight loss at three months post-treatment than HPV-negative participants (OR = 49.68, 95% CI (2.7, 912.86) p ≤ 0.01). Conclusions: The nutritional status of HPV positive and negative patients were both negatively affected by treatment and require similarly intense nutritional intervention. In acute recovery, HPV positive patients may require more intense intervention. At 3- months post treatment, both groups still showed nutritional symptoms that require nutritional intervention so ongoing nutritional support is essential.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:53:13 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50627 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:48:38 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35197 Wed 24 May 2023 12:06:57 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51280 Wed 20 Sep 2023 11:45:13 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35716 Wed 17 Jun 2020 11:10:02 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45429 Wed 13 Mar 2024 15:49:55 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43537 Wed 11 Oct 2023 15:47:38 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15776 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:59:53 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13782 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:59:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11850 0.05). Conclusions: Although men reported some positive dietary changes during weight loss, they did not increase vegetable intakes nor decrease alcohol consumption, while saturated fat, fibre and Na intakes still exceeded national targets.

Furthermore, a lower baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity correlated with greater weight loss (r_s = 0.398, P = 0.015). Male sex was associated with a 3.6 kg greater weight loss (P = 0.087). Reducing emotional eating during the programme was associated with greater weight loss in women (r_s = 0.576, P = 0.010). Conclusions This study demonstrates that individuals with more severe asthma at baseline are more successful in achieving weight loss, which could be a consequence of greater motivation and could be used as a motivational tool within the clinical setting. Gender tailoring of weight loss programmes may be useful to enhance weight loss success. Future studies are urgently needed to establish predictors of long-term weight loss maintenance in those with asthma. See Editorial, page 179 This study is the first to demonstrate that more severe asthma at baseline, male sex, and improvements in eating behaviours during weight loss are associated with greater weight loss success in overweight and obese adults with asthma. Our findings may inform the development of asthma-specific weight management guidelines.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:17:48 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15489 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:17:29 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26276 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:11:50 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15546 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:46:26 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11860 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:38:40 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21942 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:35:55 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10307 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:17:03 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13548 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:16:53 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14180 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:03:10 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13788 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:17:57 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:8032 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:26:22 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15548 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:56:01 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9225 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:49:40 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:12459 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:28:07 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:27612 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:17:27 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13780 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:43:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15547 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:43:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15792 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:31:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27878 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:26:27 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21677 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:20:05 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15828 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:13:35 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18363 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:06:07 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15675 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:13:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53698 Wed 10 Jan 2024 10:49:33 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37187 2), middle-aged (35-65 years old) men. Participants were recruited in May 2018, and the intervention took place between June and December 2018. The intervention involved 12 weekly 90-min face-to-face sessions, incorporating physical activity, nutrition, and behaviour change information and practical activities delivered by coaches at 2 clubs. Data were collected at baseline and immediately postintervention. For trial feasibility purposes, 6-month follow-ups were completed. Outcomes were differences in weight loss (primary outcome) and recruitment and retention rates, self-reported measures (for example, psychological well-being), device-measured physical activity, waist size, and blood pressure at 3 months. Within 3 days of advertising at each club, 426 men registered interest; 306 (72%) were eligible. Men were selected on a first-come first-served basis (n = 130; M age = 45.8, SD = 8; M BMI = 34.48 kg/m² SD = 4.87) and randomised by a blinded researcher. Trial retention was 86% and 63% at 3- and 6-month follow-ups (respectively). No adverse events were reported. At 3 months, mean difference in weight between groups, adjusted for baseline weight and group, was 3.3 kg (95% CI 1.9, 4.8) in favour of the intervention group (p < 0.001). The intervention group's moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was higher than the control group by 8.54 min/day (95% CI 1.37, 15.71, p = 0.02). MVPA among men attracted to Aussie-FIT was high at baseline (intervention arm 35.61 min/day, control arm 38.38 min/day), which may have limited the scope for improvement. Conclusion: Aussie-FIT was feasible to deliver; participants increased physical activity, decreased weight, and reported improvements in other outcomes. Issues with retention were a limitation of this trial. In a future, fully powered randomised controlled trial (RCT), retention could be improved by conducting assessments outside of holiday seasons.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 20:21:06 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25400 Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:05:22 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31148 Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:20:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32856 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:29:23 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31201 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:27:45 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52871 Tue 31 Oct 2023 10:16:15 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38233 Tue 17 Aug 2021 08:35:47 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33185 Eisenia fetida in spiked soils by exposing the worms for 28 days following standard procedures.

The concentrations of total Hg that caused 50 % lethality to E. fetida (LC50) after 28 days of exposure in S-1, S-2 and S-3 soils were 152, 294 and 367 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. The average weight loss of E. fetida in three soils ranged from 5 to 65 %. The worms showed less weight loss in the organic carbon-rich soil (S-3) compared to less organic carbon containing soils (S-1 and S-2). The bioconcentration of Hg in E. fetida increased with increased Hg concentrations.

Among women with a normal BMI in their first pregnancy, a BMI increase of ≥4 kg/m² was associated with increased risk of developing GDM (aRR 1.97; 95% CI 1.22–3.19), a macrosomic (aRR 4.06; 95% CI 2.25–7.34) or LGA infant (aRR 1.31 0.96–1.78) in the second pregnancy, while a reduction in BMI (≤–2 kg/m²) was associated with an increased risk of SGA (aRR 1.94; 1.19–3.16). Among women who were overweight or obese in their first pregnancy, a BMI increase of ≥2–4 and ≥4 kg/m² was associated with increased risks of developing GDM in the second pregnancy (aRR 1.39; 95% CI 1.01–1.91 and aRR 1.64 95% CI 1.16–2.31; _Ptrend< 0.001), while no associations were observed for a BMI increase and risk of a macrosomic, SGA, or LGA infant. In contrast, reduction in BMI (≤–2 kg/m²) was associated with a reduced risk of GDM (aRR 0.58 95% CI 0.37–0.90) and SGA (aRR 0.47; 95% CI 0.25–0.87). Conclusion: Increases in BMI between pregnancies is associated with an increased risk for perinatal complications, even in normal-weight women, while a reduction in BMI is associated with improved perinatal outcomes among women who are overweight/obese. Inter-pregnancy weight control is an important target to reduce the risk of an adverse perinatal outcome in a subsequent pregnancy.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30949 2) aged 18–40 years who had given birth in the previous 5 years Measurements: women self-reported socio-demographic, weight status and pregnancy characteristics. Those who reported being unhappy at their current weight ranked their most to least important reasons for wanting to change their weight from a list of nine options. Weight control methods used in the previous two years were reported from a list of 12 options. Perceived healthy eating and physical activity factors influencing weight management were assessed across 20 items using a five-point Likert scale. Findings: the most prevalent motivators reported for weight change were to improve health (26.1%) and lift mood (20.3%). Three-quarters (75.7%) of women reported having used at least one weight loss method in the previous two years. Time constraints due to family commitments, enjoyment of physical activity and healthy eating, motivation and cost were factors most commonly reported to influence weight management. Body mass index, parity, education, household income and time since last birth were related to motivations for weight change, weight loss methods used and/or factors perceived to influence weight management. Implications for practice: weight management support provided by health professionals should consider women's expressed motivators and factors influencing weight management, along with differences in sociodemographic, pregnancy and weight status characteristics, in order to engage women at this life-stage and facilitate adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviours.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:39 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28500 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:29:16 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25909 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:52 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22526 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:41 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22753 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:15 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44133 3 months. There were no differences between interventions focusing on weight loss or weight-gain prevention. Narrative synthesis showed significant between-group differences in weight change, favouring the intervention in 14/43 (33%) studies. In studies assessing BMI and waist circumference, this was 31% (11/36) and 25% (4/16). Two BCTs had a percentage effectiveness ratio >50% in weight loss interventions; social support (unspecified) and self-monitoring behaviour, and one in weight-gain prevention interventions; and goal-setting (outcome). Findings demonstrate initial potential for these types of BCTs and can help build cumulative evidence towards delivering effective, cost-efficient, and replicable interventions.]]> Sat 08 Oct 2022 12:36:30 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21300 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:21:57 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44544 Mon 17 Oct 2022 09:31:23 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12881 Mon 03 Sep 2018 12:55:00 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48926 Mon 01 May 2023 08:56:05 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35100 Fri 21 Jun 2019 17:58:13 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35452 Fri 16 Aug 2019 15:08:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47286 Fri 13 Jan 2023 10:24:44 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35237 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:43 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37431 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:32:45 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24889 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:32:02 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24989 Fri 01 Apr 2022 09:25:44 AEDT ]]>
