The potential of personalized nutrition for improving wholegrain consumption

Highlights. Personalized nutrition approaches can promote dietary behaviour change. Personalization increases individual’ relevance and taps into intrinsic motivation. Studies show personalized nutrition can help increase wholegrain consumption. Personalized approaches can contribute to novel tailored wholegrain recommendations.

Low dietary adherence after a positive food challenge in food allergic adults

Background: After a positive food challenge (FC), patients receive dietary advice regarding avoidance of the culprit food. We examined the frequency and variables associated with dietary adherence after a positive FC in adults. Methods: In this prospective daily practice study, adults with a positive FC were included. After every FC, dietary...

A data-driven traffic modeling for analyzing the impacts of a freight departure time shift policy

This paper proposes a data-driven transport modeling framework to assess the impact of freight departure time shift policies. We develop and apply the framework around the case of the port of Rotterdam. Container transport demand data and traffic data from the surrounding network are used as inputs. The model is based on a graph convolutional...

Exploring the potential of personalized dietary advice for health improvement in motivated individuals with premetabolic syndrome: Pretest-posttest study

Background: Dietary quality plays an essential role in the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Objective: The aim of this pilot study is to organize personalized dietary advice in a real-life setting and to explore the effects on dietary intake, metabolic health, and perceived health. Methods: We followed a one-group pretest...

Development of a Personalized m/eHealth Algorithm for the Resumption of Activities of Daily Life Including Work and Sport after Total and Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Multidisciplinary Delphi Study

Evidence for recommendations concerning the resumption of activities of daily life, including work and sport, after knee arthroplasty is lacking. Therefore, recommendations vary considerably between hospitals and healthcare professionals. We aimed to obtain multidisciplinary consensus for such recommendations. Using a Delphi procedure, we...

Evaluation of Food-Intake Behavior in a Healthy Population: Personalized vs. One-Size-Fits-All

In public health initiatives, generic nutrition advice (GNA) from national guidelines has a limited effect on food-intake improvement. Personalized nutrition advice (PNA) may enable dietary behavior change. A monocentric, randomized, parallel, controlled clinical trial was performed in males (n = 55) and females (n = 100) aged 25 to 70 years....

Improving Individualized Thermal Exposure Warning and Advising Systems via User Feedback: Abstract

Personalized Heat Warning: Alert and Advising Systems for improved Health: abstract

Naar een beweegvriendelijke omgeving: een onderzoek naar kenmerken van de woonomgeving en beweeggedrag van ouderen in Spijkenisse [To an ‘activity-friendly’ living environment: A study on characteristics of the living environment and physical activity of older people in Spijkenisse]

Background: Many older persons prefer to live independent as long as possible. A living environment facilitating physical activity may be important for this purpose, but the design of ‘activity-friendly’ living environments for older persons remains less clear. In a study in Spijkenisse (the Netherlands), characteristics of the living...

Proposed guidelines to evaluate scientific validity and evidence for genotype-based dietary advice

Nutrigenetic research examines the effects of inter-individual differences in genotype on responses to nutrients and other food components, in the context of health and of nutrient requirements. A practical application of nutrigenetics is the use of personal genetic information to guide recommendations for dietary choices that are more...

Designing on-demand education for simultaneous development of domain-specific and self-directed learning skills

On-demand education enables individual learners to choose their learning pathways according to their own learning needs. They must use self-directed learning (SDL) skills involving self-assessment and task selection to determine appropriate pathways for learning. Learners who lack these skills must develop them because SDL skills are...

Improving moving jam detection performance with V2I communication

Dynamax is a road side based system using the SPECIALIST control algorithm and inductive loops. Dynamax field tests showed that moving jams can be effectively resolved by dynamic speed measures [1,5]. This paper focuses on Dynamax In Car, which extends the road side infrastructure with a V2I cooperative approach. V2I cooperation is used to...
