The joint impact on being overweight of self reported behaviours of eating quickly and eating until full : cross sectional survey

Objective To examine whether eating until full or eating quickly or combinations of these eating behaviours are associated with being overweight

The Relationship among Perceptions toward Health Support, Motivation, and Competence for Healthy Eating

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived health support, motivation and competence for healthy diet. METHOD: 105 university students (20.0 ± 1.0 years) participated in the dietary survey. Health guidance based on the results of the dietary survey was provided to the participants. The guidance was conducted by the students in the program of national registered dietitian course. After the guidance, following three elements were measured; 1st was the perceived degree of being respected autonomy at the guidance; how one's own autonomy was respected and how one perceived it during the guidance, 2nd was motivation and 3rd was competence for healthy eating. RESULTS: Path analysis showed that perceived health support as being respected autonomy associated to autonomous motivation for healthy eating (β=.48), and autonomous motivation associated to competence to maintain healthy eating (β=.49). The degree of perceived being respected autonomy did not relate to controlled motivation for healthy eating. The controlled motivation did not relate to competence for healthy eating habits. CONCLUSION: These results indicated that when university students in the program of national registered dietitian course provided dietary guidance to their peers, offering support that values autonomy leads to autonomous motivation and competence for healthy eating habits.本研究はJSPS科研費JP19K11666の助成を受けたものである

Psychometric properties of a Japanese version of Composite Scale of Morningness.

This study aimed to assess the factor structure and validity of the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM) in Japanese samples. A sample of 348 Japanese university students (196 men, 152 women) and 170 adults from the community (50 men, 120 women) completed a questionnaire including the CSM, the Diurnal Type Scale (DTS) and questions regarding sleeping and waking times. Four measurement models were compared, and a two-factor measurement model with Morningness/Time of day preference (α = 0.78) and Morning Affect/Alertness (α = 0.80) factors yielded the closest fit. Both Morningness/Time of day preference and Morning Affect/Alertness were positively correlated with DTS score. Morningness/Ttime of day preference was negatively correlated with the midpoint of sleep on weekdays and free days. The measurement model was invariant across the university and community groups. The community group, which was older, was characterized by greater morningness. The results provide evidence of the validity of the Japanese CSM, thus opening up the possibility of including Japanese samples in cross-cultural research on morningness

Changes in the reference lumen size of target lesions before and after coronary stent implantation: Evaluation with frequency domain optical coherence tomography

In optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), stent size is usually determined according to the pre-PCI lumen size of either the distal or proximal reference site. However, the effect of the OCT imaging catheter crossing the target lesion on the reference lumen measurements has not been studied. We evaluated changes in the reference lumen size before and after PCI using frequency domain OCT. For 100 consecutive patients with PCI, mean lumen diameter (LD) and lumen area (LA) were measured at the proximal and distal reference sites before and after coronary stent implantation with OCT. Mean LD and LA of the distal reference site were significantly increased after PCI with stent implantation (2.57 ± 0.6 to 2.62 ± 0.64 mm, p 1.50 mm2. Tissue characteristics were not correlated with changes in reference lumen size. When we select the stent size during OCT-guided PCI, we need to pay attention to the decrease in the luminal measurement of the reference sites, especially in lesions with tight stenosis
