Journal ArticleDOI
Stairs instead of elevators at workplace: cardioprotective effects of a pragmatic intervention
Philippe Meyer,Bengt Kayser,Michel P. Kossovsky,Philippe Sigaud,David Carballo,Pierre-F Keller,Xavier Martin,Nathalie Farpour-Lambert,Claude Pichard,François Mach +9 more
TL;DR: Encouraging stair use at work is effective for improving fitness, body composition, blood pressure, and lipid profile in asymptomatic individuals with an inactive lifestyle and thus may be a simple way to significantly reduce cardiovascular disease risk at the population level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unraveling the metabolic health benefits of fasting related to religious beliefs: A narrative review
TL;DR: These trials indicate that religious fasting has beneficial effects on body weight and glycemia, cardiometabolic risk markers, and oxidative stress parameters and aims to bridge the current knowledge gap on available evidence and suggests considerations for the future research agenda.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic investigation of the use of three-compartment total parenteral nutrition bag: prospective randomized unblinded controlled study.
Claude Pichard,G. Schwarz,A Frei,Ursula G. Kyle,P. Jolliet,Philippe Morel,Jacques-André Romand,C. Sierro +7 more
TL;DR: Detailed manpower data presented in this study allow for an estimation of TPN application costs in other hospitals, using local salaries, specific product prices and compounding costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of four bioelectrical impedance analysis formulas in healthy elderly subjects.
Laurence Genton,Véronique L. Karsegard,Ursula G. Kyle,Didier Hans,Jean-Pierre Michel,Claude Pichard +5 more
TL;DR: The Kyle BIA formula accurately predicts FFM in elderly Swiss subjects between 65 and 94 years, with a body mass index of 17 to 34.9 kg/m2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enteral vs. parenteral nutrition for the critically ill patient: a combined support should be preferred.
TL;DR: Whether such a combined nutritional support provides additional benefit on the overall outcome has to be proven in further studies on clinical outcome, including physical and cognitive functioning, quality of life, cost-effectiveness, and cost-utility.
