Exploring The Connection Between Community Food Security Initiatives And Social-Cognitive Factors On Dietary Intake, Diana Cuy Castellanos, Josh Keller, Emma Majchrzak
Exploring The Connection Between Community Food Security Initiatives And Social-Cognitive Factors On Dietary Intake, Diana Cuy Castellanos, Josh Keller, Emma Majchrzak

Food insecurity and poor dietary consumption continue to impact low-income populations in the U.S. However, communities are developing ways to address it at the local level. Community Food Security Initiatives (CFSI) focus on increasing a sustainable, healthy food supply and food system while addressing food insecurity and dietary quality within a community.
The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) explore CFSIs in low-income areas in a metropolitan Midwest city and (2) examine the effects of the initiatives along with other social-cognitive factors on fruit and vegetable consumption in persons participating in local CFSIs.
This was a mixed-methods study. First, …

Vitamin K is known to play an essential role in the coagulation cascade; however, a growing body of research has found that a subtype of this vitamin, vitamin K2 (menaquinone) may have a beneficial effect in osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of recent literature regarding menaquinone and its role in human health. This review discusses the physiology of menaquinone, its clinical benefits in cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cancer, and how it may interact with certain medications. The authors conclude that menaquinone supplementation has been shown to improve carboxylation of …
Quality Nutrition: A Review Of Intervention Evidence In Rac, Ekta Agarwal, Skye Marshall, Michelle Miller, Elizabeth Isenring
Quality Nutrition: A Review Of Intervention Evidence In Rac, Ekta Agarwal, Skye Marshall, Michelle Miller, Elizabeth Isenring

The extraordinarily high prevalence of malnutrition (up to 70%) in residential aged care (RAC) is alarming, as it is strongly associated with poor quality of life, poor resident outcomes and increased aged care costs. Consequently, “improving nutrition” is one of the principal research priorities in RAC. To identify effective nutrition interventions in RAC and to suggest future directions for practice and research we compiled a narrative literature review by searching four databases in November 2015

In order to help support malnourished older rehabilitation patients and their family carers, we conducted a longitudinal qualitative study using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four female carers (n=2 daughters, n=2 wives) were interviewed during their loved ones rehabilitation admission and again two weeks after discharge. The semi-structured interviews were audiotaped, transcribed and analysed by three researchers, all Accredited Practising Dietitians. A series of “super-themes” relevant to the research question were agreed upon and discussed.

Aim: The present study developed and evaluated a patient-centred, patient-directed, group-based education program for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Two frameworks, the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework for developing and evaluating complex interventions and the RE-AIM framework were followed. Data to develop the intervention were sourced from scoping of the literature and formative evaluation. Program evaluation comprised analysis of primary recruitment of participants through general practitioners, baseline and end-point measures of anthropometry, four validated questionnaires, contemporaneous facilitator notes and telephone interviews with participants. Results: A total of 16 participants enrolled in the intervention. Post-intervention results were obtained …

Understanding the nutritional journey older adults make from rehabilitation to home may help to engage and support the patient and their informal caregiver during this process. This study aimed to determine the change in nutritional status, physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) amongst malnourished older adults (≥65years) with informal caregivers admitted to rural rehabilitation and 12 weeks post-discharge to the community.

There is strong evidence showing malnutrition is under-recognized and underdiagnosed in the rehabilitation setting. Accurate identification and management of malnutrition is essential so that patient outcomes may be improved and resources used efficaciously.The Scored PG-SGA and MNA require evaluation of their validity in diagnosing malnutrition in rehabilitation. In addition, the prevalence of malnutrition and associated patient outcomes in rural Australian populations has not been reported.
