Extent and Nature of Television Food and Nonalcoholic Beverage Marketing in 9 Asian Countries: Cross-Sectional Study Using a Harmonized Approach

Extent and Nature of Television Food and Nonalcoholic Beverage Marketing in 9 Asian Countries: Cross-Sectional Study Using a Harmonized Approach

Collaborating teams agreed to exclude these items from recorded data, as the intention was to count only packaged food and beverage products cognizant of children’s exposure, direct purchasing request, and consumption. A list of these ingredients is provided in Table S1 in Multimedia Appendix 1, and the rates for these ingredients are compared in Table S2 in Multimedia Appendix 1. Television viewership data were also used to define peak viewing time (PVT) in each country.

Virtual Reality–Based Food and Beverage Marketing: Potential Implications for Young People of Color, Knowledge Gaps, and Future Research Directions

Virtual Reality–Based Food and Beverage Marketing: Potential Implications for Young People of Color, Knowledge Gaps, and Future Research Directions

Youth exposed to food and beverage advertising (“ads”) demonstrate more preferences for advertised foods, higher purchase intention, and increased food consumption compared to youth exposed to nonfood ads [3-9]. Data examining food marketing on digital platforms (eg, social media and gaming) also show influences on food preferences and consumption [10-17].

Central Hemodynamic and Thermoregulatory Responses to Food Intake as Potential Biomarkers for Eating Detection: Systematic Review

Central Hemodynamic and Thermoregulatory Responses to Food Intake as Potential Biomarkers for Eating Detection: Systematic Review

Among the 25 studies included in this review, at least 95% (heart rate: 19/19, cardiac output: 18/19, stroke volume: 11/11) of those investigating the response of heart rate, cardiac output, and stroke volume to food ingestion reported consistent, statistically significant (P Our findings provide valuable insights into the physiological changes that occur after food consumption and shed light on potential biomarkers for detecting eating events.

Illicit Cannabis Use to Self-Treat Chronic Health Conditions in the United Kingdom: Cross-Sectional Study

Illicit Cannabis Use to Self-Treat Chronic Health Conditions in the United Kingdom: Cross-Sectional Study

This study, therefore, primarily aimed to assess the prevalence of cannabis use for health conditions, as the effect of access to CBMPs on illicit cannabis consumption is unknown. This study also aimed to assess which demographic factors are associated with an increased likelihood of consuming illicit cannabis for health reasons. A cross-sectional survey was administered to adults (18 years or older) residing in the United Kingdom between September 22 and 29, 2022.

Use of Transdermal Alcohol Sensors in Conjunction With Contingency Management to Reduce Alcohol Consumption in People With Alcohol Dependence Attending Alcohol Treatment Services: Protocol for a Pilot Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Use of Transdermal Alcohol Sensors in Conjunction With Contingency Management to Reduce Alcohol Consumption in People With Alcohol Dependence Attending Alcohol Treatment Services: Protocol for a Pilot Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

These have been identified with the potential to reduce alcohol consumption by tracking and providing feedback on the individuals’ behavior toward their goals [15]. However, they are limited by relying on self-report. Now, transdermal alcohol sensors (TAS) are being developed and tested. These devices can measure alcohol consumption through sweat vapors on the skin and are similar in appearance to a health watch or tracker.

Evaluating the Energy Efficiency of Popular US Smartphone Health Care Apps: Comparative Analysis Study Toward Sustainable Health and Nutrition Apps Practices

Evaluating the Energy Efficiency of Popular US Smartphone Health Care Apps: Comparative Analysis Study Toward Sustainable Health and Nutrition Apps Practices

The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in optimizing energy consumption for sustainability has been highlighted in a recent article by Ericsson [22]. Their research indicates that AI features, while enhancing app functionality, can lead to a 25% increase in energy consumption if not optimized properly. Khan et al [23] conducted a comparative analysis of power consumption in mobile devices to inform the development of energy-efficient mobile apps.

Emerging Trends of Self-Harm Using Sodium Nitrite in an Online Suicide Community: Observational Study Using Natural Language Processing Analysis

Emerging Trends of Self-Harm Using Sodium Nitrite in an Online Suicide Community: Observational Study Using Natural Language Processing Analysis

The consumption of SN induces methemoglobinemia, a condition resulting in hypoxia, and if not treated promptly, it can result in death. Although the unintentional consumption of SN due to misleading or dubious storage practices is of concern [15], the consumption of SN with the intent of self-harm has also been reported in countries such as Australia, Portugal, and South Korea [6].

The Association of Macronutrient Consumption and BMI to Exhaled Carbon Dioxide in Lumen Users: Retrospective Real-World Study

The Association of Macronutrient Consumption and BMI to Exhaled Carbon Dioxide in Lumen Users: Retrospective Real-World Study

The objective of this analysis was to investigate the postprandial response of Lumen’s CO2 measurements to meals logged by Lumen users and to understand the association of this response with macronutrient consumption as well as users’ age, gender, and BMI.

The Effectiveness of a Web-Based Application for a Balanced Diet and Healthy Weight Among Indonesian Pregnant Women: Randomized Controlled Trial

The Effectiveness of a Web-Based Application for a Balanced Diet and Healthy Weight Among Indonesian Pregnant Women: Randomized Controlled Trial

Most women in the intervention group showed improvements in their consumption of vegetables and fruits (mostly any dark green leafy vegetables and pulses, and vegetables rich in vitamin A) and animal sources (meat, poultry, fish, and eggs) than the control group (Table 2). The staple and starchy food groups were consumed by 100% of the participants in the intervention and control groups. In this food group, the participants mostly consumed rice, porridge, noodles, and vermicelli.
