Abstract:
Factors that influence adolescents’ health-related behaviors in Kuwait are unclear. We hypothesized that self-efficacy would be negatively associated with a heavier weight status and positively associated with healthy eating-related behaviors. We aimed to measure healthy eating-related parameters in a sample of Kuwaiti girls and to assess the correlates of self-efficacy. The participants of this cross-sectional study were adolescent schoolgirls. The main outcome measures were self-efficacy, dietary habits, dietary beliefs, nutrition knowledge, physical activity, and weight status per body mass index (BMI) categories. Pearson’s correlation analysis was performed to determine the associations among the healthy behavior-related parameter scores. Independent samples t-test was used to examine the differences in scores between participants’ characteristics and self-efficacy score (SES). Only 19.9% of the participants had high self-efficacy toward healthy eating behaviors, 20.9% had “satisfactory eating habits,” 11.3% had a good comprehension of the meanings of healthy and unhealthy dietary habits and food, 16.3% had good nutrition knowledge, and 29.2% had an active lifestyle. SES is associated negatively with BMI, and positively with all the domains of healthy eating and with physical activity. However, SES was not associated with nutritional knowledge. Adolescent girls in Kuwait demonstrated a high level of self-efficacy toward healthy eating and behaviors with firm nutritional beliefs; however, they failed to practice them. Interventional school nutrition programs could help to improve healthy behaviors among adolescents.

AbstractObjectiveThe present study was designed to assess physical activity, sedentary behaviours and dietary habits among adolescents in Kuwait and to compare the differences between genders.DesignA cross-sectional study was conducted among secondary-school children who participated in the Arab Teens Lifestyle Study (ATLS), a multi-centre collaborative project.SettingSecondary schools in Kuwait.SubjectsAdolescents (463 boys and 443 girls), aged 14–19 years.ResultsNearly half (44·6 %) of the boys and three-quarters (76·0 %) of the girls did not meet the recommended daily physical activity levels (≥2520 MET-min/week, moderate to vigorous intensity). Nearly all (96·3 % of boys and 96·7 % of girls) adolescents reported spending >2 h/d on screen time, with girls found to spend more time per day watching television (P= 0·02) and using a computer (P< 0·001). The large majority of the adolescents reported skipping breakfast and not having milk and milk products, vegetables and fruit daily, while nearly two-thirds of the boys and girls had sugar-sweetened drinks on more than 3 d/week. Compared with girls, boys reported consuming more fruit (3·4v.2·8 times/week,P= 0·001), dairy products (4·5v.3·6 times/week,P= 0·001) and energy drinks (1·3v.1·1 times/week,P= 0·003).ConclusionsThe majority of the Kuwaiti adolescents, especially girls, do not perform adequate physical activity, spend more time on sedentary activities and have unhealthy dietary practices. The findings emphasize an urgent need for implementing an appropriate intervention for promoting physical activity, healthy eating and reducing sedentary behaviours among these children.

Abstract:
Background: A better understanding of the factors involved in health and wellness among college students can aid in the design of interventions that can reduce the rate of weight gain during young adulthood. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the gender differences in weight status, dietary habits, and health attitudes in a sample of college students at Kuwait University (KU). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 615 students were recruited from KU between November 2013 and March 2014. Components of the study included a self-report questionnaire, assessment of body mass index, and calculation of Healthy Eating Score (HES) to assess eating habits and attitudes. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the gender differences among these domains. Results: The findings revealed that a greater proportion of men were overweight and obese compared to women (28.7% and 23.8% vs. 19.9% and 12.1%, respectively). Both genders show equally unhealthy dietary habits, marked by low mean HES scores. Gender-specific dietary patterns were noted, with more men reporting eating >6 oz (168 g) of animal protein per day as compared to women (48.4% vs. 28.9%, p < 0.001). A higher proportion of female students reported regular consumption of potato chips and fatty salty snacks (51.3% and 40.4%, respectively, p = 0.12) and that they ate sweets more than twice a day (52.5% and 39.9%, respectively, p = 0.041). Conclusions: Our findings highlight the need for evidence-based gender-specific strategies to reduce the number of overweight and obese college students and promote healthy dietary habits and eating attitudes among this population.

Abstract:
In the past six decades, the Kuwaiti population has been exposed to rapid transformation in the quality of diet intake, daily activities, and career types. This major socioeconomic shift was accompanied by the introduction of both communicable and noncommunicable chronic diseases afflicting people of all ages. This article aims to detect a relationship between sociocultural characteristics—such as physical activity, dietary habits, and smoking—and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted among 262 male university students in Kuwait; participants were selected by using a convenient nonrandom opportunistic sample. Associated social and health factors were obtained using a closed-ended questionnaire. BMI and blood tests that include clusters of MetS risk components were drawn from participants in primary health care clinics. More than half of the participants were overweight and obese; 74.4% of the participants reported they did not visit a nutritionist; 69.8% said that they are currently not on a diet; 53.4% of the students were nonsmokers; 42.7% reported moderate to very low daily physical activity. The prevalence of MetS components increased among students with older age, employed, and married ( p < .001), higher BMI, higher income, smoking, fewer number of family members living, and belonging to the Shia religious sect ( p < .05). The high frequency of MetS among younger students needs to be considered by Kuwaiti community members and the government to highlight the risk factors of MetS on individuals’ well-being, quality of life, and life expectation.

Abstract:
<p>The aim of this study was to investigate whether body mass index (BMI), eating habits and sedentary behaviours were associated with sleep duration among Kuwaiti adolescents. The study is part of the Arab Teens Lifestyle Study (ATLS), which is a school-based cross-sectional multi-center collaborative study. A sample of 906 adolescents (boys and girls) aged 14-19 years was randomly selected from 6 Kuwaiti Governances using a multistage stratified cluster sampling technique. The findings revealed that the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 50.5% in boys and 46.5% in girls. The majority of boys (76%) and of girls (74%) fell into the short sleep duration category (6 hours/day or less). Sleep duration were found to be negatively associated with BMI (girls only). Watching television (boys and girls) and working on computers (boys only) were also negatively associated with sleep duration. While the consumption of breakfast (both genders) and milk (boys only) was positively associated with sleep duration (<em>p</em>&lt;0.05). In contrast, the consumption of fast foods (both genders), sugar-sweetened drinks and sweets (boys only) potatoes (girls only) were negatively associated with sleep duration (<em>p</em>&lt;0.05). It can be concluded that the majority of Kuwaiti adolescents exhibit insufficient sleep duration which was associated with obesity measure, a combination of poor eating habits and more sedentary behaviors. The findings also suggest gender differences in these associations. Therefore, adequate sleep is an important modifiable risk factor to prevent obesity and was positively associated with some unhealthy lifestyle habits.</p>

Abstract:
Lack of nutrition knowledge may contribute to poor dietary practices. Schools are an ideal environment to address this issue and to start the process of nutrition education. Therefore, teachers should be equipped with adequate nutrition knowledge. This study was designed to evaluate the level of general nutrition knowledge and demographic variations in knowledge in a sample of students attending the College of Basic Education in Kuwait. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a modified and validated revised version of the General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (GNKQ-R) for UK adults. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the association between various factors and nutrition knowledge score. A total of five hundred and ninety-seven students completed the questionnaire. Most respondents (84.1%) had a poor level of nutrition knowledge using original Bloom’s cutoff points. Sex, BMI, cooking habits, and who is responsible for preparing food in the household were the main determinants of nutrition knowledge score at p < 0.05. The mean score of the students was 40.06 ± 9.89 out of 84 points. Females scored significantly higher than males, at 41.10 ± 9.29 and 38.72 ± 10.48, respectively ( p = 0.007). Students with a BMI of ≥30 achieved significantly greater scores (mean 42.30 ± 9.41) than those who were underweight, normal, or overweight ( p < 0.001). Students who stated that they always cook their own food achieved significantly greater scores (mean 43.69 ± 9.58) than those who did not ( p = 0.025). Students who stated that they depend on the housekeeper for food preparation achieved significantly lower scores (mean 38.86 ± 10.13) than those who prepare their own food or depend on their relatives to prepare food ( p = 0.042). Poor nutrition knowledge was found among prospective teachers studying in the College of Basic Education. This must be rectified for the effective implementation of nutrition education programs in schools.

Abstract:
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease with an early onset, but little is known about its psychological effects in middle childhood. The present study was the first to explore the relationship between mental health, wellbeing, and lifestyle of 8–11 years old children with Type 1 diabetes and their parents, and a healthy comparison group. A total of 200 parent-child dyads were recruited in diabetic clinics and from primary schools in Kuwait. Both groups completed a series of behavioural and physical assessments relating to health, wellbeing, and lifestyle. A significant relationship was found between higher Body Mass Index (BMI) and poorer mental health, including low academic self-esteem, depression, and anxiety, in the diabetes group. This group had significantly higher mean scores in mental health problems, and lower scores in wellbeing, compared with control group. Both groups had poor dietary habits and low levels of physical activity. Unlike previous studies, no differences were found between parents’ mental health for children with Type 1 diabetes and parents of the control group. Although elevated problem scores on a variety of indices remained within normal range, the pattern of results indicates that children with diabetes would profit from early screening and preventative intervention to reduce the likelihood of psychological and behavioural difficulties later on.

Abstract:
Background: Gastric cancer is the 5th most common cancer in the world and 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths. It has marked geographic incidence variation. Most common in Japan, China, other East Asian countries, Eastern Europe and South America. There is sharp decrease in incidence in western countries over the past 60 years but incidence of GE junction and proximal gastric tumors is increasing. In state of Kuwait in 2012 ASR was 2.6/100,000 population (similar to other Gulf countries; apart from Oman). There are many known risk factors including eating smoked and salted food and H. pylori infection. Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze gastric cancer diagnosed cases from 2009 to 2015 in Kuwait and to analyze clinicopathological criteria and prognostic factors. Methods: A total of 145 adult patients with newly diagnosed gastric cancers were treated and followed-up at Kuwait Cancer Control Center (KCCC) between 2009-2015. Patients' data were examined retrospectively. In all cases: age, performance status, sex, ethnicity, smoking and dietary habit, tumor site, pathology, staging and type of treatment were identified. Survival analysis was done using Kaplan-Meier, and comparison was done using long-rank test. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 54 (29-94). Men represented 63.5%. 75.2% had adenocarcinoma, 14.5% gastric lymphoma, 6.2% GIST, 3.4% carcinoid and 1 case squamous cell carcinoma. For gastric adenocarcinoma, 22 were metastatic (20.2%). In spite of composing almost 25% of country population and expected high incidence in their home countries, only 19.5% of patients were Asian with known habit of spicy food intake. 31% of patients were smokers. Performance at diagnosis was ECOG 0-1 in majority. Median follow-up was 45 months (1-89) and median overall survival was 34 months (0.5-89). Almost half of tumors were poorly differentiated with signet-ring feature in 36.8%. 12.6% presented with clinically advanced tumor but after surgery the number upstaged to be 25.9% (Stage III). Tumor epicenter localization was almost equivalent with 43 (49.4%) localized proximally and 44 (50.6%) distally. Surgery was the main treatment in majority (85.1%) while radiation was used in 58.6% and chemotherapy in 74.4% (adjuvant, neoadjuvant or concomitant). 22 patients failed; 7 locoregionally, 15 had distant metastasis while 2 patients failed both locally and distantly. Close surgical margins, and proximal localization were poor prognostic factors. Age and ethnicity had no impact on outcomes in our cohort. Conclusion: Gastric adenocarcinoma in Kuwait has similar profile to that documented worldwide and regionally (apart from Oman). Proximal tumors represent a challenge and has poorer prognosis that may need more intensification of treatment. Current (neo)adjuvant treatment seem to be effective in our population. Molecular profiling and studies are needed for further understanding of this potentially curable disease.

Abstract:
The growing epidemic of coronary heart disease (CHD) is evident worldwide, accounting for global mortality rates of approximately 7.2 million per year. Coronary heart disease causes are multi-factorial encompassing both intrinsic and extrinsic factors; including age, gender, genetics, diet, physical activity, obesity, psychology, smoking and alcohol intake. Serum low density lipoprotein (LDL), an underlying consequence mainly of poor dietary habits, is strongly associated with increased risk of developing CHD and therefore a major target for CHD risk reduction strategies. Although intrinsic factors such as age, gender and genetics cannot be controlled or corrected, modifiable factors (extrinsic) can be managed and thus CHD risk may be reduced. Prescription of lipid-lowering drugs such as statins (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase or HMG-CoA inhibitors) has significantly increased due to their LDL-cholesterol lowering properties, where subsequently CHD risk may be reduced. There is little doubt in the efficacy of these drugs; the effectiveness however, is the issue in question. Various studies have reported up to 55% non-adherence to statin medications, after 6 months of treatment. It is important to recognize that once statin adherence subsides in these patients, risk reduction is dependent on the alternative concomitant therapies (diet, physical activity, maintenance of weight and smoking cessation), which may or may not have been implemented by the patient. Therefore the goal of this study was investigate the degree of adherence to statin medication, and alternative concomitant behaviours and examine whether an association exists between these various coronary risk reduction factors and overall CHD risk profile.

Abstract:
The objective of the present study was to determine the relationship between dietary intake and the formation of idiopathic upper urinary tract stones. More specifically, the aim of this study was to test the relationship between the formation of idiopathic upper urinary tract stones and diet in new cases and demonstrate how the inclusion of recurrent cases in a study could affect the relationship mentioned above.
A case-control approach was used. A total of 61 new cases was compared to 58 controls. A parallel analysis was made for 62 recurrent cases and 59 controls in order to demonstrate the possible effect of dietary advice received in the past in relation to previous episodes of kidney stones. All controls were selected from patients who had an intravenous pyelogram for a reason other than one related to the formation of a kidney stone and were matched to cases for age and sex. The dietary history of patients was established and constituted the main part of a home interview. Logistic regression was used and potential confounding factors were adjusted for, including family history of stones, ethnic group, and source of the patients.
Some differences in nutrient intake were observed between new cases and their controls. Differences involved oxalates, vitamin D and the combination of proteins, purines and magnesium. As the direction of the observed differences did not fit the research hypotheses and likely explanations were found, it was concluded that there was no relationship between diet and kidney stone formation.
The analysis involving recurrent cases and their controls revealed that there was effectively a dietary bias which affected the estimated intake of calcium, water, magnesium, purines, and possibly proteins and vitamin C as well. It is concluded that any case-control study on kidney stone formation should be done separately for new and recurrent cases.

Abstract:
College is a time of emerging identity and habit formation for students. One hundred and sixty-two (162) college students were surveyed via an internet based survey. The survey asked questions regarding dietary habits such as consumption of dairy, vegetables, fruit, and protein. The survey also examined dietary knowledge such as ability to read food labels. The students were divided into two groups for analysis, nutrition majors and non-nutrition majors. The two groups differed in Body Mass Index (BMI) (p=0.004), but not nutrition knowledge (p=0.082). The nutrition students had an average BMI of 22.0+/-2.42 and a nutrition knowledge score of 2.44+/-0.60, while the non-nutrition majors had an average BMI of 23.9+/-4.50 and a knowledge score of 2.22+/-0.55.

Abstract:
The effectiveness of an eight-week nutrition and physical activity intervention at a summer camp to prevent obesity, and promote healthy eating habits and physical activity among children in Kuwait was studied. Two summer camps were recruited for intervention and comparison groups. Convenient sampling was used (N= 79). Pre-test/post-test assessment were used for the participants in the intervention and comparison groups. Modified Healthy Habits Survey (HHS) was used to measure children’s knowledge, behavior and attitude about nutrition, screen time and physical activities, BMI-for age percentile were collected. Statistical analysis included independent t-test, paired t-test, chi-squared test, McNemar's test, and multiple regression. Results indicated that there was a significant increase in nutrition knowledge score (Pp= 0.013, p = 0.007, p = 0.002, and p = 0.012, respectively). There was no significant decrease in the number of servings of unhealthy foods for french-fries and chips, fruit flavored drinks or soft drinks. The only significant decrease in the unhealthy food intake was seen in the number of servings of sweets and candies. Thirty-three-point-three percent of participants in the intervention group decreased their consumption of sweets and candies to 1 time or less per day (P=0.001). There was a significant increase in the intervention group in both physical activity and screen time knowledge (Pp

Abstract:
A balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables has been strongly associated with weight management, improved overall health, and decreased incidence of chronic disease. Availability of locally grown produce is associated with a higher intake of fruits and vegetables; there were 7,864 farmers markets operating in the U.S. in 2012, a 9.6% increase from 2011. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the demographics, nutrition knowledge, and dietary habits of farmers market patrons at ten diverse markets in Kentucky. A total of 153 surveys were collected; the average age of study participants was 46 ± 21 year. Respondents reported consuming an average of 2.1 ± 1.3 fruit servings and 2.9 ± 1.6 vegetable servings per day. As well, 49% of the market patrons indicated they had an advanced or professional knowledge of nutrition. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being "extremely important", 59% of the patrons ranked having nutrition information listed on recipes as an 8 or above. Market patrons are specifically interested in the salt (87%), fat (74%), and calorie (72%) content of recipes. Results indicate that most farmers market patrons have a good knowledge of nutrition and are interested in evaluating nutrition information.

Abstract:
Academy soccer players partake in high volumes of training and match-play, but limited information exists regarding the optimal dietary practices to fuel such demands. Accordingly, the aims of the thesis were threefold: (1) to identify an accurate method of energy intake assessment which quantifies any self-reporting bias bespoke to Academy soccer players, (2) to provide a quantification of the energy intake and energy expenditure of Academy soccer players over a ‘typical’ training week, specifically highlighting any fluctuations in energy balance, (3) to investigate potential strategies to optimise dietary practices of Academy soccer players to reduce any identified energy deficits, whilst also examining the impact on soccer performance variables. Chapter 3 aimed to explore the agreement between researcher observed energy intake and self-reported energy intake in male Academy soccer players using a combined selfreported, weighed food diary and 24 h recall method. Considering the widely reported bias associated with using isolated self-report measures, the accuracy of a combined method was examined. Findings suggested that the combined dietary data collection method is an acceptable alternative to researcher observed approach when assessing energy intake in Academy soccer players, providing that appropriate adjustment was applied for the minor systematic under-reporting. Chapter 4 investigated the energy intake and expenditure of Academy soccer players during a competitive week. The combined method was used to measure energy intake in conjunction with accelerometry to quantify energy expenditure. Findings highlighted that the mean daily energy intake of Academy soccer players was lower than the energy expended during a competitive week, producing significant daily energy deficits. The magnitudes of these deficits were greatest on match and heavy training days. Furthermore, pre-match dietary practices were identified as a concern, reporting inadequate levels of energy intake to fuel match-play. Chapter 5 investigated the physiological and performance effects of increasing prematch energy intake prior to simulated soccer match-play, with the aim of reducing the previously identified significant negative energy balance. Findings demonstrated that Academy soccer players are able to increase pre-match energy intake without experiencing abdominal discomfort, addressing the previously identified energy deficit on such days. Furthermore, whilst increasing habitual energy intake produced limited benefits to physical performance, increased dribbling speed was identified, which may have practical application to match-play. In summary, this research has provided further information concerning the dietary practices of Academy soccer players, a population which has received limited focus, despite substantial implications considering the high demands of training and matchplay in combination with maintaining growth and maturation. Overall findings demonstrate that energy intake remains relatively stable throughout the week, failing to account for the periodised approach to training load. Players are subsequently experiencing significant daily energy deficits in particular during heavy training and match-days. Furthermore, whilst strategies to increase pre-exercise energy intake may help reduce such deficits, limited effects on physiological and soccer-specific performance were identified.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dietary habits (DH) and eating behaviors (EB) among adults during COVID-19-induced confinement. For this purpose, an online survey designed to assess the change in DH and EB during April and May of 2020 was distributed using various social media platforms. A total of 1844 participants aged 18-72 years completed the survey. The results outlined an increase (42.5-61.8%) in most of the DH and EB examined in the current study in the majority of the participants. Among these changes, increased (p<0.05) prevalence of fruit and vegetable, immune boosters, water, and hot beverage consumption as well as decreased (p<0.05) eating in restaurants and fatty food consumption, suggest a positive change. Conversely, a greater (p<0.05) percentage of the participants reported an increase in high-calorie food consumption and late night eating indicating a risky behavior for obesity and subsequent chronic complications. Additionally, age, gender, obesity, education, income, and job type seem to contribute (p<0.05) to the changes in DH and EB. Overall, COVID-19-induced confinement seems to compel adults to adopt a specific DH and EB. Though most of these changes were positive, some were negative. The study provides crucial information to design subpopulation recommendations and developmental programs for adults under such conditions.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Western pacific and South-east Asian region have its own lifestyle and dietary habits, for an example, the prevalence of parasites and the MDR pathogens are different compared to the European region where most consensus documents have been disseminated. Hence, current investigation is being carried out in view of appraising contemporary methods that have been used internationally and to propose rigorous donor screening methods appropriate for the regional requirement. Information sources: EMBASE and MEDLINE through PubMed and WEB of SCIENCE. Additionally, we have reviewed all international consensus documents and local guidelines published in English.
