Exploring the nutritional vulnerability of homeless men in a Canadian urban setting

Abstract

Homelessness, Aboriginal ethnicity, and nutritional vulnerability are key determinants of health. Substance abuse further compounds health risk. This study explored the nutritional vulnerability of homeless men, some of who were solvent-users, to assess nutrition-related chronic disease risk factors. Anthropometric data were used to calculate disease risk using body mass index. Diet was assessed using a 24-hr food recall and data were compared to Canada’s Food Guide recommendations. A significant proportion of participants had low intakes of vegetables and fruit and milk and alternatives. More than half of the participants met the intake recommendations for grain servings and meat and alternatives. Solvent-using participants consumed significantly higher intakes of vegetables and fruit, grain products, and other foods and beverages, than non-solvent using men. More than half of the participants were classified as overweight or obese. Healthy food consumption was influenced by lack of stable housing, reliance on charitable food, and substance abuse.

理工科大学生膳食营养素摄入状况调查

目的:了解理工科大学生膳食营养素的摄取情况。方法:随机整群抽取南京理工大学学生778名,采用连续3日称重法与记录法相结合的方法进行膳食调查,了解其食物与营养素的摄入情况。结果:女生除维生素E、磷外,能量、其他营养素的摄入量均低于相应的DRIs(中国居民膳食营养素参考摄入量),而男生除维生素A、维生素B2、维生素C、钙、锌外,能量及其他营养素摄入量均达到或超过了相应的DRIs。女生粮谷类、禽肉类、奶类摄取较低,男生水产类摄入量较低,男女生水果蔬菜的摄入量较低。男生中餐能量偏低,而晚餐能量偏高。结论:理工科大学生食物营养素的摄取尚不合理,需要进行改善。     

地域文化立场的书写与言说--20世纪后20年小说语言论之三

地域文化是作家们的精神母乳。地域文化精神直接影响到小说叙述焦点的定位与运动、小说话语与叙事视角的选择、言语风格的确定以及语言结构的形成;方言土语不仅丰富了小说的语言资源,而且为小说语言增色许多;作为地理风貌的自然风光进入小说,必然影响着描写这些风光的语言风格的选择;民间语言体现一种民间立场的叙事,与官方文化拉开一定距离,并显示出民间幽默的智慧与解构的才能;有作为的作家不仅善于到地域文化中去淘金,而且能跳出其拘囿,去经受各种异地文化的洗礼。

Digital learning material was developed to help students acquire the necessary skills for the preparation and implementation of a data analysis protocol. The learning material focused on the relation between the main experimental and observational study types in human nutrition research and the appropriate methods of data analysis. This article describes the main guidelines derived from theories on learning and instruction and illustrates how they were used to develop the digital learning material. Evaluation of the learning material in an academic context indicated that students appreciated the learning material and achieved the learning objectives.

Factors influencing dietary fat intake among black emerging adults

Objective: To determine what factors influenced dietary fat intake (DFI) among black emerging adults. Participants: Sample included 251 black emerging adults, ages 18–25 years, living in the US. Methods: This was a nonexperimental cross-sectional study based on self-report data. Results: The sample had high DFI. Factors related to DFI were gender (r_pb = ?.22, p < .001), perceived barriers for healthy eating (r = .32, p < .001), and perceived self-efficacy (r = ?.33, p < .001). These variables were also significant predictors for DFI. Gender was significantly related to DFI (b = ?5.894, p = .000). Religious commitment moderated the effect of stress on DFI. Conclusions: Gender, perceived barriers for healthy eating, and perceived self-efficacy were significant predictors for DFI. Religious commitment influenced the relationship of perceived stress and DFI. These findings may lead to interventions designed to reduce DFI and cardiovascular risks among black emerging adults.     

The DASH Pilot Project: Developing Community-Based Nutrition Education for Older Adults

ABSTRACT

Nutrition-related chronic health conditions among older adults are a growing concern. In this study, nutrition education materials were created for use in senior centers by graduate nutrition students. After the materials were presented, focus groups were conducted with participants (n = 62) to obtain feedback on the content and presentation. Findings related to the participant’s knowledge of nutrition-related information, strategies to improve future class sessions, and participant recruitment will be discussed. These findings will be useful to program administrators as they develop nutrition programs for older adults who are vulnerable to nutrition-related health problems.
