The 24-Hour Dietary Recall By Telephone Using A Food Model Book, Lois-Ann Klemm
The 24-Hour Dietary Recall By Telephone Using A Food Model Book, Lois-Ann Klemm
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was to determine how well a group of ten men and eight women who attended one of four dinners could estimate measured and weighed portions of ten test foods by a 24-hour dietary recall over the telephone, with and without a food model book.
A paired t-test indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the 24-hour dietary recalls estimated by the total group with and without the food model book. However, the standard deviation for the dietary recall using the food model book was less than half that of the recall from memory …
Isolation Of Bacteriophage Resistant Lactic Culture Strains With Known Temperature Sensitivity, Luna Ying-Chung Jeng
Isolation Of Bacteriophage Resistant Lactic Culture Strains With Known Temperature Sensitivity, Luna Ying-Chung Jeng
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Seven strains of Streptococcus cremoris and Streptococcus lactis were tested for temperature sensitivity on a temperature gradient bar. A temperature of 37 C was the optimum for differentiating between temperature-sensitive and insensitive strains. Temperature-insensitive strains produced cell masses with absorbance values of 0.1 or higher and activity levels of 1.0 (expressed as a decrease in pH) or above at 37 C. Temperature-sensitive strains failed to produce these cell masses and activity levels.
Strain selection and resistant-mutant isolation made it possible to identify ten strains of Streptococci sufficiently free of phage sensitivity for use in a cheese plant rotation program. These …
The Incidence Of Lactose Malabsorption Among Cache Valley Young Adults, Eileen Donna Cowles
The Incidence Of Lactose Malabsorption Among Cache Valley Young Adults, Eileen Donna Cowles
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Twenty-four young adults, ages 18 to 30, from Cache Valley were studied to determine the incidence of lactose malabsorption. Lactose malabsorption was determined by a two-hour oral lactose tolerance test. The criteria for a malabsorber was a flat glucose curve in which there was a rise in serum glucose less than 20 mg. per 100 ml. above the fasting level. Four of the subjects were found to be lactose malabsorbers. The incidence of lactose malabsorption was determined to be 16.67 per cent. A 95 per cent confidence interval for this study indicated that the actual percentage could be expected to …
Effects Of Social And Demographic Characteristics, Knowledge Of Coronary Heart Disease And Dietary Practices On The Level Of Serum Cholesterol, Wendy Whanghea Kim
Effects Of Social And Demographic Characteristics, Knowledge Of Coronary Heart Disease And Dietary Practices On The Level Of Serum Cholesterol, Wendy Whanghea Kim
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge of coronary heart disease and behavior variables on blood cholesterol concentration among 218 selected subjects in northern Utah communities.
The data were obtained from physicians' medical charts and a survey specifically designed for this study. A model was developed from an intensive review of literature and the current state of theoretical and empirical knowledge and was tested by means of path analysis. The model contained fourteen variables including familial coronary heart disease heredity, sex, age, the presence of disease(s), educational attainment, special dietary regimen, occupation, knowledge …
