Results: About 100% of dietitians had received initial weight management training and 85% had participated in professional development training, compared with 18 and 19% of HPs, respectively, although 70% believed it was within their scope of practice to provide evidence-based advice. Dietitian respondents achieved a higher median score (maximum 10) in the following areas (practice = 6.5, knowledge = 8.0, confidence = 8.3) when compared with HP respondents (practice = 4.2, knowledge = 7.0, confidence = 5.4). The median attitude score for both groups was 6.0. Conclusions: HPs are receptive to providing evidence-based weight loss messages to overweight/obese clients in their current practice. However, weight management training is required to enhance HPs' knowledge and skills in order to increase confidence and improve practice skills. Dietitians can assist HPs to ensure that clear, consistent, evidence-based messages are delivered to overweight clients throughout the health-care system.]]> Wed 19 Apr 2023 13:50:55 AEST ]]> Oxidative stress and antioxidants in athletes undertaking regular exercise training https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:606 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:27:23 AEST ]]> Disparities exist between National food group recommendations and the dietary intakes of women https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:12426 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:10:55 AEST ]]> Soluble fibre meal challenge reduces airway inflammation and expression of GPR43 and GPR41 in asthma https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:32913 Wed 09 Mar 2022 16:01:55 AEDT ]]> Vegetable nitrate intakes are associated with reduced self-reported cardiovascular-related complications within a representative sample of middle-aged Australian women, prospectively followed up for 15 years https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35626 78.2 mg/day) and vegetable nitrate intakes (Q4 > 64.4 mg/day) were 25% and 27% reduced risk of developing CVD-related complications respectively, compared with women reporting low total (Q1 < 45.5 mg/day) and vegetable nitrate intakes (Q1 < 34.8 mg/day). Our findings were consistent with other observational data indicating that dietary nitrate may explain some of the cardiovascular benefits of vegetable consumption.]]> Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:00:54 AEST ]]> The Impact of Meal Dietary Inflammatory Index on Exercise-Induced Changes in Airway Inflammation in Adults with Asthma https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52880 Tue 31 Oct 2023 10:44:58 AEDT ]]> Rural versus urban women: an examination of anthropometry and body composition https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47675 -2 ) and there was no significant difference in mean Body Mass Index between rural and urban women. Measures of central fat distribution, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were significantly higher in rural residents. Visceral fat area was significantly higher among rural women. After adjustment for age, differences in waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and visceral fat area were no longer statistically significant. Conclusion: While we did not find statistically significant differences in body composition among urban and rural women, these results highlight the dramatic effect of age on measures of central adiposity. Population surveillance needs to incorporate measures of excess central adiposity, particularly visceral fat area, to better investigate changes in body composition among women in their 20s and 30s.]]> Tue 24 Jan 2023 16:01:36 AEDT ]]> Dietary nitrate and diet quality: an examination of changing dietary intakes within a representative sample of Australian women https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:33662 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:01:38 AEST ]]> Breakfast cereal consumption and obesity risk amongst the mid-age cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:30120 20,000 kJ/day, or they reported being overweight or obese at S3. Logistic regressions with discrete time survival analysis investigated the association between breakfast cereal intake and incident obesity and were adjusted for: area of residency, income, smoking, physical activity, hypertension, dietary intakes and a discrete measure of time. There were 308 incident cases of obesity. Any breakfast cereal intake was not associated with incident obesity (Odds Ratio (OR): 0.92; p = 0.68). Oat-based cereal (OR: 0.71; p = 0.01), muesli (OR: 0.57; p = 0.00) and All-Bran (OR: 0.62; p = 0.01) intakes were associated with a significant reduction in obesity risk. Among this cohort, muesli on its own, or as part of oat-based cereals, and All-Bran, were associated with a reduction in obesity. This effect may be due to particular characteristics of these cereal eaters, but the relationship warrants further investigation.]]> Tue 02 Apr 2019 14:06:34 AEDT ]]> Calculation of haem iron intake and its role in the development of iron deficiency in young women from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:29894 Tue 01 May 2018 09:15:38 AEST ]]> Antioxidant restriction and oxidative stress in short-duration exhaustive exercise https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:643 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:10:36 AEST ]]> The protective effect of muesli consumption on diabetes risk: results from 12 years of follow-up in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:34931 20,000 kJ. Logistic regression with discrete time survival analyses investigated the association between breakfast cereal intake and incident diabetes. Models were adjusted for income, BMI, smoking, physical activity, education, and dietary intakes and included a measure of time. There were 637 incident cases of diabetes. Breakfast cereal intake per se was not associated with incident diabetes (OR: 1.00; P =.98). Muesli consumption on its own (OR: 0.74; P =.00) or as a part of oats-based cereal (OR: 0.84; P =.047) was significantly associated with a decrease in the odds of developing diabetes. No other breakfast cereals were significantly associated with diabetes risk. Among mid-aged Australian women, muesli consumption was associated with a reduction in diabetes risk. This effect may be due to a particular profile of muesli eaters, but the relationship warrants further investigation.]]> Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:32:43 AEDT ]]> Antioxidant restriction and oxidative stress in short-duration exhaustive exercise https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1656 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:30:28 AEDT ]]> Dietary balance during pregnancy is associated with fetal adiposity and fat distribution https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:13870 40% of energy), and low carbohydrate (<40% of energy) intakes.

Results: There were 1342 new cases of hypertension and 629 new cases of non-fatal CVD over 15 years of follow-up. Multivariate analysis indicated that women reporting better adherence to the ARFS (≥38/74) had 15 % (95 % CI 1, 28 %; P = 0·05) lower odds of hypertension and 46 % (95 % CI 6, 66 %; P = 0·1) lower odds of non-fatal CVD. Women reporting better adherence to the MDS (≥8/17) had 27 % (95 % CI 15, 47 %; P = 0·0006) lower odds of hypertension and 30 % (95 % CI 2, 50 %; P = 0·03) lower odds of non-fatal CVD. Conclusions: Better adherence to diet quality scores is associated with lower risk of hypertension and non-fatal CVD. These results support the need for updated evidenced based on the ADG as well as public health nutrition policies in Australia.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:54:29 AEDT ]]> A sputum gene expression signature predicts oral corticosteroid response in asthma https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:34249 Fri 22 Feb 2019 16:55:30 AEDT ]]> The role of inorganic nitrate and nitrite in cardiovascular disease risk factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of human evidence https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:33397 Fri 01 Apr 2022 09:23:04 AEDT ]]>
