Showing papers in "Preventive Medicine in 2014"
••
TL;DR: No firm conclusions can be drawn on the safety of ECs due to many methodological problems, severe conflicts of interest, the relatively few and often small studies, the inconsistencies and contradictions in results, and the lack of long-term follow-up.
437 citations
••
TL;DR: Evidence provides some support for self-determination theory tenets, however, there was substantial heterogeneity in most associations and many studies had methodological shortcomings.
286 citations
••
TL;DR: The positive psychological wellbeing effects identified in this study should be considered in cost–benefit assessments of interventions seeking to promote active travel.
283 citations
••
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 54 serious digital game studies for healthy lifestyle promotion outcomes and the role of theoretically and clinically important moderators showed that serious games have small positive effects on healthy lifestyles.
281 citations
••
TL;DR: Neighborhood racial composition and neighborhood poverty are independently associated with food store availability and these associations are not seen in rural areas which suggest that interventions should not be universal but developed locally.
235 citations
••
TL;DR: A selective review of research from the basic learning and behavior laboratory provides some insight into why methods used to create behavior change tend to inhibit, rather than erase, the original behavior.
231 citations
••
TL;DR: Smokers who are young adult, male, never married, reside in the West, and made prior quit attempts were at risk for multiple product use, indicating over 10% of U.S. adults use multiple tobacco products.
195 citations
••
TL;DR: Filipinos should be a priority population for overweight/obesity screening and lower BMI cut points recommended by the World Health Organization may have clinical utility to identify at-risk Asian Americans.
180 citations
••
TL;DR: The association of energy drinks with other potential negative health and behavioral outcomes suggests that use of these products may represent a marker for other activities that may negatively affect adolescent development, health and well-being.
169 citations
••
TL;DR: Current evidence, though limited, supports the notion that sedentary behaviour displaces light intensity activity, and findings of this review suggest inverse associations between SB and PA were weak to moderate.
165 citations
••
TL;DR: The feasibility of using real-time social networking data as a method for evaluating and detecting Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors and outcomes is suggested.
••
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that collider stratification bias is one plausible explanation for the obesity paradox, and after conditioning on CVD status in the design or analysis, obesity can appear protective among individuals with CVD.
••
TL;DR: The state of activation and the screening strategies of colorectal cancer screening programs in EU States as of July 2013 is examined.
••
TL;DR: Findings in a large representative sample of Canadian adults indicate that breaking up sedentary time may be particularly important for cardiometabolic health.
••
TL;DR: Limited health literacy is a barrier to participation in England's national, publicly available colorectal cancer screening programme and interventions should include appropriate design of information materials, provision of alternative support, and increased one-on-one interaction with health care professionals.
••
TL;DR: Interventions that reduced sedentary time by using TV limiting devices were shown to be effective for children but the results were limited for adults and large exercise equipment, and prominent exergaming materials were found to be more effective than smaller devices.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that HDHK significantly improved health outcomes and behaviors in fathers and children, providing significant between-group differences for fathers' weight (P b.001, d = 0.24), with HDHK fathers losing more weight (−3.3 kg; 95%CI, −4.3, −2.4) than control fathers (0.9, 1.0).
••
TL;DR: This game-based intervention provides a promising step towards developing a low-cost, effective, and sustainable FV intervention that schools can implement without outside assistance.
••
TL;DR: Understanding factors which arbitrate in vaccination decisions among key target groups can improve the success of health promotion interventions, and additional studies of superior methodological quality are needed to inform health promotion strategies.
••
TL;DR: Some dose-response evidence was identified suggesting that PA is positively, and SB inversely, associated with psychosocial well-being, and future high-quality cohort and intervention studies are warranted particularly investigating dose- response associations.
••
TL;DR: An increase in the unemployment rate during the Great Recession has had a beneficial health effect on average across EU countries, except for suicide mortality.
••
TL;DR: Media campaigns about sugary drinks and obesity may be effective for raising awareness about added sugars in beverages, increasing knowledge about health problems associated with excessive sugar consumption, and prompting behavioral intentions to reduce soda and sugary drink consumption.
••
TL;DR: HIT, and particularly mobile health, can enhance collaborative care interventions, and thus improve the health of individuals and populations when deployed in integrated delivery systems.
••
TL;DR: Evidence that exclusive breastfeeding for at least three months has a small effect on postpartum weight loss among U.S. women is provided.
••
TL;DR: Major depression after HF was a predictor for subsequent all-cause mortality, but not mild depression, and more well-designed studies are needed to explore the influence of depression and antidepressant medication use in HF patients.
••
TL;DR: Further work is needed to explain the marked regional differences in the relationship between coastal proximity and physical activity in England to better understand the coast's potential role as a public health resource.
••
TL;DR: As physical activity intervention programs lasting longer than 6months are associated with reductions in blood pressure levels and triglycerides, they should be considered to be included in prevention programs for cardiovascular diseases in schoolchildren.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify key challenges and potential solutions to conducting high-quality physical activity research in Latin America (LA) using the IPEN data collection protocol (IPEN: International Physical Activity Environment Network) in Curitiba, Brazil; Bogota, Colombia; and Cuernavaca, Mexico.
••
TL;DR: Two types of sedentary time-passive and mentally-active-may play different roles in older adults' well-being among Japanese older adults.
••
TL;DR: There is adequate evidence to suggest that quality physical education, before/after school, during school, staff involvement, and family and community engagement can serve as logical points of intervention to provide increased opportunities for physical activity participation leading to physical literacy among children.
