Image-based dietary assessment methods have the potential to address respondent burden and improve engagement in the task of recording for dietary interventions. The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with the willingness of adults to take images of food and beverages using a mobile food record (mFR) application. A combined sample of 212 young adults and 73 overweight and obese ...

The aims of a national dietary study are several-fold. One purpose is to monitor the intake of foods and nutrients in the population and to compare intakes with dietary recommendations. It is, however, difficult to measure dietary fat intake and plasma biomarker fatty acid (FA) composition may be used as an objective measure of dietary fat intake. Thus, the relative ability of a diet record to ...

Given the increasing social and economic burden of chronic disease and the need for efficient approaches to prevent and treat chronic disease, emphasis on the use of information and communication technology (ICT)-based health care has emerged. We aimed to test the feasibility of a mobile application, Diet-A, and examine whether Diet-A could be used to monitor dietary intake among adolescents. I...

Reptiles can be on the diet of some bird species, and glass lizard Ophiodes fragilis seems to no exception. Although predation events are not easily recorded, in this work we document a new record by C. cristata upon O. fragilis. The event occurred November 2017 municipality Viçosa, state Minas Gerais, Brazil, helps fill gap trophic relationships between its predators.

ABSTRACT Coprophanaeus lancifer is a copro-necrophagous beetle endemic to the Amazon region. Although beetles belonging subfamily Scarabaeinae primarily feed on dung, some have greater diet plasticity that includes carrion, fungi, rotten fruits and invertebrates. The of scavenger C. mainly consists vertebrate carcasses, although it also attracted mammal faeces. Here, we describe first record th...

The dietary and movement history of individual animals can be studied using stable isotope records in animal tissues, providing insight into long-term ecological dynamics and a species niche. We provide a 6-year history of elephant diet by examining tail hair collected from 4 elephants in the same social family unit in northern Kenya. Sequential measurements of carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen is...

OBJECTIVES The present study was conducted with an aim to assess the caries profile of 12 year old Indian children using Cariogram. STUDY DESIGN Hundred children were interviewed to record any illness, oral hygiene practices and fluoride exposure after obtaining a three day diet diary. Examination was done to record plaque and dental caries status. Stimulated saliva was collected and salivary...

Dental calculus (calcified dental plaque) is a source of multiple types of data on life history. Recent research has targeted the plant microremains preserved in this mineralised deposit as a source of dietary and health information for recent and past populations. However, it is unclear to what extent we can interpret behaviour from microremains. Few studies to date have directly compared the ...

In this report, findings from the Final Evaluation Report of North Carolina’s Maternal Outreach Worker (MOW) Program are presented. The focus here is on the evaluation of program objectives, as originally proposed in the 1991 grant application to the Kate B. Reynolds Foundation. The MOW Program is a community-based home visiting program designed to help low income and at-risk pregnant women mak...
