▼ In the United States, the prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency is 3-26%, depending on the diagnostic criteria used. Although the value placed on vitamin B12 concentrations in the blood has focused on the vitamin's role in preventing anemia, the prevention of low and marginal vitamin B12 status also is important because these conditions can lead to serious neurologic and neuropsychiatric abnormalities in adults and the elderly, even without associated anemia. Besides malabsorption, adherence to a vegetarian diet may contribute to inadequate vitamin B12 intake. The objectives of this study were to examine: 1) the association between dietary factors (B12 from supplements, fortified foods, and foods from animal sources) and biomarkers of vitamin B12 status (holotranscobalamin or holoTC and serum vitamin B12 concentrations) among vegetarian and non-vegetarian participants of the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) Calibration Study after adjusting for confounding variables; and 2) to identify which nutrients and demographic characteristics are associated with homocysteine concentration after adjusting for confounding factors. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using secondary data from the calibration study (n=1,011) of the Adventist Health Study 2. Descriptive statistics, correlations, and multiple linear regressions were used for analyses. Study participants had a median age of 58 years (age range 29 to 94 years), approximately 50% were white, and 66% were females. Study results showed that supplements containing vitamin B12 were positively associated (p<0.001) with plasma vitamin B12 concentrations, particularly in the upper tertile. Vitamin B12 from fortified foods and milk substitutes was positively associated with plasma B12 concentrations in all subjects, and B12 from milk substitutes was positively associated with holoTC in non-vegetarians but not in lacto-ovo vegetarians. Among those who did not use B12 supplements, B12 from fortified foods was positively associated (p=0.004) with holoTC and serum B12 (p=0.033), while B12 from milk substitutes was positively associated (p=0.001) with holoTC and serum B12 (p=0.007). Age (p <0.001 for all subjects) and gender (p<0.001) were significant demographic characteristics associated with homocysteine concentrations within this population. Total folate intake from diet and supplements (p<0.001) were strongly inversely associated with homocysteine independent of confounding factors, followed by total vitamin B12 (p=0.001), and B6 intake (p<0.001) among all subjects. Intake of vitamin B12 was significantly inversely associated with homocysteine in non-vegetarians, but serum vitamin B12 and holoTC were significantly inversely associated with homocysteine in all subjects. In conclusion, B12 from supplements, fortified foods, and milk substitutes may improve the vitamin B12 status of the population. Besides age and gender, intake of total folate, and vitamins B12 and B6 were inversely associated with…

▼ The purpose of this thesis was to investigate perceptions of weight as a predictor of health among Arab Americans. This study investigated the relationship between A) Middle Eastern region of origin, B) presence of a chronic disease, C) degree of acculturation, D) body mass index, E) religious affiliation, F) income, G) education level, H) gender, I) fatalism perception of weight, and J) perception that is it hard to maintain a healthy weight on perceptions of weight as a predictor of health. A survey was created and distributed online through the investigator’s social network and four professional groups geared towards Arab Americans. The survey assessed the effect of these key demographic factors among 96 participants. Participants who were female and more acculturated to the United States were more likely to believe their weight affected their health. Further research is needed to capture a wider variety of demographics among Arab Americans to improve current knowledge base and health messages amongst healthcare professionals.

▼ This study evaluated an after-school and a school-based program aimed at improving the dietary and physical activity patterns of youth in Georgia. Both programs utilized community-academic partnerships and community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods. Participants self-reported dietary and physical activity patterns pre- and post-intervention. Researchers measured height and weight of the after-school program participants pre- and post-intervention. No significant changes in dietary or physical activity patterns were reported for participants of the after-school program. Additionally, there were no significant changes in BMI. Site was significantly associated with behaviors, with site 3 consuming significantly more fruits, vegetables, healthy and unhealthy foods. Site 3 also reported participating in significantly more physical and sedentary activities. BMI was significantly negatively associated with consumption of fruits, vegetables and healthy foods as well as participation in physical activities. Age was significantly positively associated with being sedentary.
The school-based program targeted both students and their parents. Students reported a significant increase in physical activity at school and a significant decrease in screen time. Students also reported a significant decrease in consumption of fruits. Female participants reported consuming significantly more fruit and participating in significantly fewer hours of screen time. Participants from school 2 consumed significantly more fruits and vegetables, but scored significantly lower for physical activity knowledge. Participants from school 3 scored significantly higher for
nutrition knowledge, but reported participating in significantly less physical activity at school. Finally, participants from school 5 scored significantly higher for physical activity knowledge. Parents reported participating in significantly more physical activity overall and with their child/children. Parents also reported that their children participated in significantly more physical activity both at school and outside of school. There were significant increases in the reported frequency of reading
nutrition labels and the number of nutrients parents considered when purchasing a food item.
Findings from this study suggest that after-school programs can improve the dietary and physical activity patterns of youth. School-based programs can influence behaviors and knowledge of both students and parents. Community-academic partnerships and CBPR are viable means of creating and implementing effective
nutrition and physical activity interventions targeting youth and their parents.

▼ Diet is a modifiable factor in preventing disease and improving health among older adults. A convenience sample of older adults in senior centers across Georgia (N = 558, mean age = 75, 83% female, 53% African American) completed a pre-test, intervention, and post-test. Eight lessons given over 16 weeks included information on current guidelines for fruit and vegetable intake, and ways to increase fruit and vegetable intake at meals and snacks. Pre- and post-tests examined self-reported intake of fruits and vegetables at breakfast, lunch, evening meal and snacks, knowledge of recommended intakes, and barriers to intake. The following showed significant improvement after the intervention (P < 0.0001): the number of participants reporting they eat 7 or more fruits and vegetables daily increased by 21-percentage points, and knowledge that 7 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables are recommended daily (for 1,600 to 2,200 calories) increased from 7% to 57%. Significant decreases in three reported perceived barriers to consumption were found after the intervention (P < 0.05). Ninety-eight percent of participants reported that their satisfaction with the program was good, very good or excellent. In conclusion, this intervention improved knowledge and behaviors related to
nutrition in older adults.

▼ Zinc is essential for cell growth, but can be toxic
when in excess. As a consequence, intracellular zinc levels are
tightly controlled by complex mechanisms that maintain zinc
homeostasis in all biological creatures. In eukaryotic cells,
factors that affect zinc homeostasis include zinc transporters,
zinc buffering molecules, and zinc-regulatory factors. The levels
of these factors are precisely regulated to maintain optimal
intracellular zinc levels. To extend the growing literature in the
roles of genes involved in zinc homeostasis, this dissertation
investigates the role of the above executants in maintaining
cytosolic zinc levels in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In S. pombe,
Loz1 plays a specific role in repressing gene expression when zinc
is in excess. In zinc-replete conditions, Loz1 down-regulates zrt1,
a gene encoding a high affinity zinc uptake transporter, and
indirectly up-regulates zym1 expression, a gene which encodes a
zinc metallothionein. Deletion of Loz1, thus, causes constitutive
zrt1 expression and low zym1 expression. In addition, cells lacking
a functional loz1 gene hyperaccumulate zinc in zinc-rich medium. In
chapters 2 and 3, I take advantage of the loz1 mutation, and other
yeast mutants to determine the roles of specific zinc transporters
and zinc buffering molecules in maintaining zinc levels in the
cytosol. Specifically, I utilize genetically encoded
zinc-responsive FRET-based sensors, which allow changes in the
labile pool of cytosolic labile zinc to be measured. My results
show that Zhf1, a zinc transporter in endoplasmic reticulum
membrane, and Zrg17 and Cis4, which reside in Golgi membrane, play
a role in maintaining the cytosolic labile zinc pools upon a zinc
shock. In addition, my works describe how Loz1 controls zinc
homeostasis in zinc-replete conditions and reveal that
phytochelatins, small molecules that have a well-known role in the
detoxification of toxic heavy metals, also have an important zinc
buffering role.In chapters 4 and 5, I investigate the molecular
mechanisms by which zinc-responsive transcription factors are
regulated by zinc. Using chimeric proteins containing Loz1, this
study examines the accessory domain adjacent to a double zinc
finger, and shows that it is necessary for Loz1-mediated
zinc-responsive changes in gene expression. This dissertation
provides a platform for the understanding of zinc homeostasis
mechanisms in fission yeast by examining the role that specific
zinc transporters, zinc buffering molecules, and the zinc-regulated
factor Loz1 play in regulating cellular zinc levels. The results
suggest that specific zinc transporters and Loz1 control the labile
zinc pool in cells. Also, the roles of phytochelatins are
highlighted as zinc buffering molecules. This discovery extends the
current knowledge of how zinc buffering molecules influence metal
homeostasis. While a number of zinc transporters have been
identified in various eukaryotic cells, the zinc buffering
molecules that modify the labile zinc pool remain to be further
investigated.

▼ Breast cancer is the most common form of malignancy
and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in women. The most
recent epidemiological studies have shown an inverse relationship
between blood lutein concentration and breast cancer risk. However,
it is currently unclear whether it is lutein itself, or a
metabolite of lutein that plays a role in breast tissue protection.
To better understand the impact of dietary lutein on breast
development, we performed an in vivo feeding study by using a
modified AIN-93G diet, in which lutein was added to reach the
concentration 0.01%. C57/BL6 virgin female mice at 3-week of age
were fed with diets with or without lutein supplementation. Plasma,
mammary gland, and liver were collected after 5 weeks, 10 weeks,
and 15 weeks of feeding. Plasma lutein levels were determined by
high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Whole mount
staining, light microscopy, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analyses
were conducted to evaluate the development of mammary glands. Our
results showed that plasma lutein concentration was close to human
plasma lutein level, and lutein accumulated in mammary glands in
the lutein supplemented group. In the control group no lutein was
detected in plasma, nor mammary gland. Our data also showed that
there was no difference with regards to branching of the glands,
adipocyte area, or epithelial cell proliferation between the two
dietary groups. In addition, to investigate the direct effects of
lutein on breast cancer cellular growth, we performed an in vitro
study by using multiple human breast cancer cell lines (T47D,
SKBR3, ZR-751, MCF7, MDA-MB-231). The cells were treated with
lutein or ß-carotene at the concentrations ranging from 0.1 µM to
10 µM, followed by assessing one measurement of cell proliferation
and the uptake of carotenoid by the cells. Our in vitro studies
showed that there was no significant effect of lutein on breast
cancer cell growth with each concentrations we tested. ß-Carotene,
used as a positive control, led to around 30% decrease in cell
growth at 1.0 µM and 10 µM. All five human breast cancer cell lines
accumulated lutein to a greater extent than ß-carotene. Taken
together, our data indicate that there is no effect of lutein on
normal mouse breast development or human cancer cell growth. The
association between plasma lutein and breast cancer risk described
in previous studies might result from lutein being a biomarker of
vegetable intake, or a marker of other phytochemical intake, and
not a direct effect of lutein itself.

▼ University of Minnesota M.S. thesis. June 2010.
Major: Nutrition. Advisor: Kim Robien. 1 computer file (PDF); v, 23
pages.
Background: Folate has widespread importance to
health due to its role in one-carbon metabolism. Folate status and
genetic variants in the folate uptake and metabolism pathways have
been assessed in relation to numerous disease processes, especially
colon cancer and cardiovascular disease. The enzymes
folylpolyglutamate synthase (FPGS) and gamma-glutamyl hydrolase
(GGH) are essential for maintaining intracellular folate
homeostasis. FPGS adds glutamyl groups to the folate molecule,
which is essential for cellular retention of folate. The
polyglutamted form of folate metabolites is the preferred substrate
for many one-carbon metabolism enzymes. GGH removes glutamyl
groups, which allows folate to leave the cell. Objective: The
purpose of this study was to evaluate whether single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FPGS and GGH genes influence plasma
folate and homocysteine levels. Methods: Study participants were a
sub-cohort (n = 484) from the Singapore Chinese Health Study. SNPs
were selected using a literature review, HapMap, and SNPPer.
Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the association
between the SNPs and plasma folate and homocysteine levels.
Results: Two FPGS (rs10106, rs1098774) and 9 GGH (rs1031552,
rs11545076, rs1800909, rs3758149, rs3780126, rs3824333, rs4617146,
rs11545078, rs719235) SNPs were included in the final analysis.
None of the FPGS or GGH SNPs were associated with plasma folate
levels. Similarly, none of the FPGS SNPs were associated with
plasma homocysteine, but three GGH SNPs were associated with plasma
homocysteine levels: rs11545076 (p = 0.02), rs1800909 (p = 0.03),
and rs3758149 (p = 0.04). In all three, the homozygous variant
alleles were associated with lower plasma homocysteine values.
Conclusions: It appears that genetic variation in GGH may be
influential in determining circulating homocysteine levels, and
thus, may influence intracellular folate homeostasis rather than
circulating folate levels. Since this is one of the first studies
to assess these genetic variants in relation to plasma folate and
homocysteine, further research is needed to explore these variants
and to better characterize the role of genetic variation in
intracellular folate homeostasis.

(PDF); viii, 80 pages, appendices 1-2.
The purpose of this Master’s thesis was to examine
the variability related to isoflavone metabolism in postmenopausal
women. The study involved 124 postmenopausal women who consumed 80
or 120 mg of isoflavones per day during a three year time period.
The isoflavones genistein, glycitein, daidzein, dihydrodaidzein
(DHD), O-desmethylangolensin (ODMA), and equol were extracted and
characterized from 24 h urinary samples. Overall, there was little
effect of time on the excretion of isoflavones. There was a
significant effect of treatment on the excretion of genistein,
glycitein, and ODMA where daily excretion was higher for the 120
mg/d group compared to the 80 mg/d group. Intra-individual
variability was high, with percent coefficients of variation (%CVs)
ranging from 32-64%. Inter-individual variability was found to be
higher than intra-individual variability, with %CVs ranging from
40-256%. Approximately 36% of the subjects were defined as equol
producers. In addition, approximately 16% of the women experienced
a change in equol-producing status which was found to be
significantly related to reported antibiotic use. Finally, equol
was the only metabolite for which excretion significantly decreased
with reported antibiotic use. In conclusion, isoflavone excretion
was found to be highly variable both within and between women.
Results from this study also indicate that antibiotic use has a
profound effect on the ability to produce equol.

Objective: This prospective observational study
examined changes in resting metabolic rate (RMR) and the perception
of hunger and satiety in a group of patients with eating disorders
receiving treatment in a residential setting. Methods: Seventeen
women admitted at the Anna Westin House residential program, aged
18-41 (mean 27.2) years, were followed upon admission, each month
of treatment and a post-discharge follow-up. RMR measurements were
conducted via indirect calorimetry. Questionnaires were used to
assess eating disorder diagnosis, as well as physical sensations,
mood, and preoccupation with thoughts of food before and after
meals. Results: Upon admission 5 subjects had anorexia nervosa, 3
bulimia nervosa and 9 eating disorder not otherwise specified.
There was an increase in weight for the whole group between
admission and discharge but no change in RMR. A positive
correlation was noted between weight and RMR at admission and at
discharge. The percentage of subjects reporting having no gastric
feelings of hunger decreased between admission and discharge. At
discharge, there was a decrease in the percentage of subjects who
reported irritability, tenseness, depression and preoccupation with
thoughts of food around meals. Conclusions: The results suggest a
relationship between weight and RMR as well as a progression
towards normalization of the perception of hunger and satiety
throughout treatment. Further studies are needed to explore the
trends observed in this study, their etiology and treatment
implications.

This study used segmentation analyses to identify
seven distinct subgroups of U.S. midlife women (n=1684) based on
their attitudes toward food, its preparation and consumption.
Statistical analysis was completed to determine the influence of
attitude segments on body mass index (BMI) and food and nutrient
intake. Women completed a mailed survey including a 24 hour food
record and a questionnaire regarding physical activity, eating
attitudes and weight history. Mean age of the women was ~50 years
and they were mostly White (78%), currently married (71%) and
employed (70%). Obesity was influenced by attitude segments
(clusters of women sharing similar attitudes). Mean BMI was lower
for ‘Health Conscious’, ‘Creative Cooks’ and ‘Hate to Cook’
attitude segments compared to ‘Boredom Bingers’ and ‘Live to Eat’
attitude segments. Overall, ‘Health Conscious’ and ‘Creative Cook’
attitude segments had generally better nutrition profiles while
‘Boredom Bingers’ and ‘Live to Eat’ attitude segments had poor
nutrition profiles. Segmentation of women in this age group
according to eating attitudes may be used to deliver tailored
nutrition education which may prove to be effective in managing
weight and improving diet quality.

Epidemiological studies strongly support the role
of fiber in the control of obesity. Fiber is suggested to influence
mechanisms of satiety and reduce energy intake. The postabsorptive
fermentation of fiber in the large intestine may be linked to the
satiating effects observed. The following work focuses on an
intervention study using a rapidly fermentable fiber to examine
this relationship. In this study we hypothesized that a short chain
fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) would increase satiety and decrease
energy intake at a subsequent meal with a dosedependent response.
Additional aims were to determine its influence on 24-hour energy
intake, gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance, and breath hydrogen
response. Healthy men and women participated in this randomized
double-blind, crossover study. On three separate occasions subjects
consumed 0 g, 5 g, or 8 g of scFOS in a beverage and proceeded to
use visual analogue scales (VAS) to rate satiety over four hours.
Ad libitum energy intake was then assessed. Subjects later consumed
a consistent dose in solid form. Energy intake over 24 hours, GI
tolerance, and breath hydrogen measures were obtained. Contrary to
our hypothesis no significant differences were observed in satiety
or energy intakes. As expected, breath hydrogen response indicated
significant fermentation within four hours of scFOS ingestion;
however, this did not influence tolerance, as GI symptoms did not
differ significantly between treatments. This study provides
evidence that not all types of fiber significantly influence
satiety. The physiological actions of one fiber type may not extend
to others. It is important to increase the specificity with which
health benefits are assigned to specific fiber types, and to
conceptualize fiber as a complex group of substances with diverse
actions rather than as a single nutritional
entity.

ix, 107 pages.
Body composition assessment in obese and gastric
bypass patients is an important component of clinical care that
remains somewhat elusive. The physiological abnormalities that
occur in these populations pose unique challenges to available body
composition assessment techniques. In particular, there is a lack
of adequate field methods that are appropriate for clinical use
(i.e. rapid, convenient, inexpensive, and accurate). Bioelectrical
impedance analysis (BIA) promises to be just such a method. This
thesis explores the topics of obesity and roux-en-Y gastric bypass
(RYGB) surgery, the body composition changes that occur after RYGB,
and methods used for assessment, with a particular focus on
advancing multi-frequency BIA (MF-BIA) and bioimpedance
spectroscopy (BIS) analysis.

Within the brain, there are key feeding and
locomotion circuits that feature the signaling of numerous
peptides. Orexin A has been shown to have effects on feeding and
physical activity behaviors when administered centrally or in
several brain regions. This effect is site-specific and requires
the presence of orexin receptors. Our lab has studied the
behavioral effects of injecting orexin A into the dorsal rostral
portion of the lateral hypothalamus. We have previously observed an
acute increase in spontaneous physical activity as well as food
intake following injection of orexin A into this area. The acute
effect is also observed with bicuculline-mediated stimulation of
neurons in the rostrolateral hypothalamus. It is likely that there
are other peptide signaling systems which are downstream of orexin
receptor activation in the rostrolateral hypothalamus that are
responsible for the observed increase in spontaneous physical
activity. In chapter one, we chose to study neurotensin signaling
in the ventral tegmental area as a possible downstream event of
orexin receptor activation in the rostrolateral hypothalamus.
Firstly we performed immunohistochemical studies which confirmed
the colocalization of orexin-receptor and neurotensin-expressing
neurons in the rostrolateral hypothalamus. Secondly, we coinjected
orexin A in the rostrolateral hypothalamus and a neurotensin
receptor antagonist in the ventral tegmental area. In this case we
observed an attenuation of orexin A responsivity in the time spent
ambulating in the first hour post-injection in the presence of the
antagonist. Thirdly we administered a dose range of both
neurotensin and the neurotensin antagonist in the ventral tegmental
area. High doses of the antagonist and an intermediate dose of
neurotensin both increased spontaneous physical activity within two
hours post-injection. The equivalent directionality of the effects
of neurotensin and the antagonist are hypothesized to occur through
several potential mechanisms including partial agonist-like
qualities of the antagonist and a differential activation of
dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens. Finally after
coinjecting orexin A and neurotensin in the rostrolateral
hypothalamus, we found that neurotensin antagonizes the effect of
orexin A on spontaneous physical activity in the rostrolateral
hypothalamus. We confirm here an involvement of neurotensin
signaling in the orexin A-mediated response. Further studies are
needed to elucidate the dynamics of the pathways within the
rostrolateral hypothalamus and the ventral tegmental area as well
as to determine if other peptide signaling systems and brain sites
are involved in orexin signaling. In chapter two we sought to
determine which other brain sites may respond to orexin A. We chose
two sites, the ventral tegmental area and the paraventricular
nucleus of the thalamus, which contain orexin receptors. To
determine if an…

▼ University of Minnesota M.S. thesis. December 2011.
Major: Nutrition. Advisor: Chi Chen. 1 computer file (PDF); viii,
104 pages.
Alcohol abuse is an important health issue in the
world. While the adverse effect of alcohol can spread to various of
tissues, the most common ailment associated with alcohol abuse is
alcoholic liver disease (ALD) which is characterized by progressive
manifestations from fatty liver to hepatic cirrhosis. As the early
stage of ALD is reversible, numerous efforts have been undertaken
to understand the molecular mechanisms of ALD and identification of
reliable biomarkers. It is suggested that nutritional effects and
the toxic effects of alcohol both contribute to the pathogenesis of
ALD and may interact with each other. This offers an alternative
aspect for biomarker seeking as focuses on the influence of alcohol
on nutritional small molecule metabolome which can indicate the in
vivo change caused by alcohol consumption. The newly developed
metabolomics-based technical platform has provided a robust tool to
identify and characterize new small-molecule biomarkers of
biochemical processes and pathogenesis of ALD. In my study, the
influence of ethanol on small-molecule metabolome and the role of
cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) in ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity were
investigated using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
based metabolomics platform and Cyp2e1-null mouse model. The
results suggested CYP2E1 contributes to ethanolinduced toxicity.
Metabolomic analysis revealed that the level of N-acetyltaurine
(NAT) in urine increases dramatically after ethanol consumption.
Further in vivo and in vitro analysis indicated that
ethanol-induced NAT biosynthesis is mainly caused by a novel
reaction between taurine and excessive acetate produced by ethanol
metabolism. Overall, our study confirmed the role of CYP2E1 in
alcohol-induced liver injury and identified NAT as a novel
metabolite of ethanol that can function as the potential biomarker
of hyperacetatemia.

▼ The purpose of this study is to determine the availability of “more” versus “less healthful” entrée items in the campus dining environment and also to determine if students’ purchases are reflective of what is offered. Entrée items were categorized as either “more” or “less healthful” according to the American Heart Association guidelines. Students’ entrée purchases from the 2014- 2015 school year were analyzed at a Midwestern university. The relationship between students’ demographics and food purchases was also analyzed in this observational study. Significant differences between more healthful and less healthful purchased and available items were determined using a Chi-square test. A Chi-square test was also used to determine if the proportion of purchased more healthful and less healthful entrées differed between the fall and spring semesters. Logistic regression was used to determine the effect of demographics on more healthful and less healthful purchases in the fall versus spring semesters. The majority of the entrée items available in the campus dining environment were considered less healthful (85.04%) while only a small percentage were considered more healthful (14.95%). The purchased entrée items significantly differed from what was available in both the fall (X2 = 14,028.40, df = 1, pThe campus dining environment consisted of primarily less healthful entrées and students’ purchases were primarily less healthful. Future research ought to work with campus dining providers to create profitable, yet healthful, campus dining environments. Obesity prevention efforts at the college level should start immediately in the fall and emphasize improving males’ dietary intake.

▼ Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if cooking classes improve knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards beef consumption, whether online cooking demonstrations and interactive cooking classes are equal in improving participants’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards beef and to determine if increase beef consumption improves participant’s iron status. Methods: Thirty physically active females (18-24 years) were recruited to participate in a 5 day a week training program for 10 weeks. Participants were stratified by their beef and iron intake and randomly assigned to one of the three groups; 1) traditional interactive cooking group; 2) online demonstrative cooking group; or 3) control group. Intervention groups were instructed to consume an additional 3 servings (3 oz. each) of beef weekly during the 10 week duration. Control participants annotated beef consumption and diet normality on a weekly calendar for quality assurance. The demonstrative cooking group participants viewed online, pre-recorded demonstrations on iTunesU, while the interactive group attended in class, cooking classes. All participates were required to exercise five days per week for at least one hour per day. Body composition, average beef consumption, dietary iron, blood markers of iron status (hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron, serum ferritin and total iron binding capacity) and attitudes and behaviors towards beef and cooking were measured at baseline, 10 weeks and 6 months. Participants were classified as iron deficient if the serum ferritin levels <15 mg/dL and iron deficiency anemia if both their serum ferritin levels <15 mg/dL and hemoglobin values were <12 g/dL. Statistical analysis was performed using the commercially available statistical software SAS. Descriptive statistics are represented by mean ± standard deviation. A repeated measure analysis of variance was used to determine significant differences for group, time and group*time. Statistical significance was reached at p<0.05. Results: Twenty-six participants completed the study; nine in the control group, eight in the intervention group and nine in the demonstrative group. There was no significant difference between age, height, weight, percentage body fat, fat free mass or VO2 Max from baseline to 10 week. There were significant differences in heme iron intake due to time; all groups increased intake from baseline to 10 weeks and from 10 weeks to 6 months. There were no group x times differences in any measured blood parameters. There was no difference in the attitude and behavioral components of

▼ Background: High levels of obesity among children have become the nation’s most prevalent health condition. Individuals that live in low-income areas often face multiple risk factors that can lead to obesity. Few interventions have been conducted that include school-based
nutrition education and food preparation classes that are paired with a backpack of food. Objective: Determine if the program ingredients were used at home, if the necessary cooking tools were available and if the overall awareness and motivation to eat healthier was increased. Also, too determine if student and parent responses correlate for future research. Methods: A convivence sample of student (n=146) and their parents (n=146) were surveyed following a school-based
nutrition education, food preparation lesson, and backpack of food was provided to the students during the summer school program in lowincome areas of rural South Dakota. Results: Findings indicate that the condensed program identified that majority of parent used the recipe and know about commodity food programs, the correct tools were available for the families to make the recipe, and the program had a positive impact on awareness and motivation of the students and their parents to eat healthier. It was also found that student and parent responses can correlate for survey questions. Conclusion: Using the survey responses it was found that condensing the school-based
nutrition education and food preparation program into a shorter timeframe will produce positive outcome results for the students and their parents.

▼ Background: Few studies have examined the relationship between cooking and wellness behaviors in college students. Objective: Determine the association between cooking, wellness behaviors, fruit and vegetable (FV) intake and body mass index (BMI) in college students. Design and Participants: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using baseline data a multi-state, Community-Based Participatory Research project aimed at preventing weight gain in first-year college students. Physical activity (PA), cooking (type, frequency and confidence), intention for meal planning (MP), mealtime behaviors, and cups of FV, were measured using validated survey tools. BMI was calculated from measured height and weight. Study participants were first-year students (n=1,108) considered at-risk for weight gain from eight universities completed baseline assessments. Statistical Analysis: Multiple linear regression assessed the ability of lifestyle behaviors to predict FV intake and BMI after controlling for sex; significance was p≤0.05. Stata 13.1 was used for data analyses. Results: Highly active individuals reported significantly greater FV intake (2.7±.1) than moderately active (2.1±.1, p=.000) or inactive (1.7±.3, p=.000). FV intake was greater in those reporting meal preparation 4-7 times weekly (3.0±.2) compared to 1-3 (2.4±.1, p=.018) or zero (2.3±.1, p=.002). Cooking mostly convenience and ready-made meals was associated with significantly lower FV intake (2.1±.1) compared to cooking from basic ingredients (2.6±.1, p=.000) or not cooking (2.4±.1, p=.013). Intention for MP and mealtime behaviors were positively associated with FV intake (p=.000 and p=.000, respectively). Preparing meals from basic ingredients was associated with a lower BMI (23.8±.3) than consuming mostly convenience and ready-made meals (24.6±.3, p=.035) or not cooking (24.6±.2, p=.032). Positive mealtime behaviors were inversely related to BMI (p=.009). Conclusions: FV intake and BMI are associated with PA, cooking, and dietary behaviors supporting previous research that healthy behaviors cluster together. Interventions aimed at improving dietary intake or weight status in college students could benefit from incorporating PA, cooking, and MP components.

▼ Introduction: As a means to combat the childhood obesity epidemic, congress enacted the Child
Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004. This act required all school districts participating in the Healthy School Lunch or Breakfast Program to create and implement a school wellness policy. In 2010 the Healthy, Hunger- Free Kids Act required additional components be added to school wellness policies, such as public notification of wellness policy initiatives. There is currently not a survey tool available that measures these new mandate requirements among school administrators, school staff and parents in school wellness policies. Goal: The goal of this research study is to create a valid and reliable survey that can be used to asses engagement in school wellness policies among school administrators, school staff and parents. Methods: A 41-item online survey was created using the Dillman Method. Nine cognitive interviews with school administrators, teachers and parents were conducted prior to survey distribution for item refinement. There were 1819 survey respondents (45 school administrators, 770 school staff, 901 parents) from the 17 participation school districts. A subsample 0f 472 survey respondents (7 school administrators,189 school staff, 276 parents) completed the survey a second time. Factor analysis was performed to measure construct validity of the 41-item survey and the survey was reduced. A subsequent factor analysis was conducted on the reduced 14-item survey. Test- retest reliability was evaluated using Pearson Product Moment correlations and a Cronbach alpha coefficient was run to assess internal consistency. Results: The survey was reduced in length to the items that loaded at values ≥0.4 level and loaded consistently within the same factor. Twelve out of the 14 items loaded well among all groups for scoring. Test-retest reliability resulted in good reliability for the total score among all groups (r=0.802, r=0.755, r=0.816). Cronbach’s alpha displayed acceptable internal consistency among all groups (r=0.810, r=0.792, r=0.776). Discussion: Additional modifications on question and scoring format, and the use of a more detailed evaluation model are needed to improve the reliability, validity, and feasibility of use of the School Wellness Policy Engagement Survey

▼ Objective: To determine the acceptability of using the South Dakota State University (SDSU) Jackrabbit mascot as a marketing tool to promote fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption and physical activity (PA) among fourth grade students. Methods:
Nutrition faculty and students cooperated with collegiate graphic design students to develop eight posters that featured the SDSU Jackrabbit mascot and slogans promoting FV intake and PA. The Jumpin' Jacks campaign included prominently displayed posters in common areas of the school,
nutrition and physical activity lesson, and a visit from the Jackrabbit mascot. Results: In-depth interviews querying student ability to communicate understanding and recall (aided/unaided) of the social marketing materials and messages were conducted at post-assessment with 132 students. High understanding (87.8%) was found among the students; and approximately one-third of the students were able to recall unaided the Jumpin' Jacks messages and posters. Conclusions and Implications: Students interviewed were aware of the campaign and the messages promoted by the Jackrabbit Mascot. Students were able to recognize the mascot and associate the messages with appropriate healthy behavior. An example of a common interview response from the students was "Jumpin' Jacks encourages you to eat good food and go outside and have fun exercising".

AI public university students often face unique challenges that may contribute to health disparities. Few healthy lifestyle interventions have been developed that meet the needs of AI public university students. Objective: Determining how to tailor Project Young Americans Eating and Active for Health (YEAH), a web-delivered health-maintenance tool, to be culturally relevant to Northern Plains AI (AI) public university students. Methods: Focus groups (N=15) and in-depth interviews (N=11) were conducted with self-identified AI college students on the campus of South Dakota State University. Participants were recruited with assistance from the American Indian Education and Cultural Center and through campus publicity. Recorded sessions were transcribed and multistep coding was used to assess the functionality and cultural acceptability of the website. Results: Findings indicate that AI public university students have specific and culturally influenced imagery and symbolism preferences. Depending on cultural tradition, AI students vary in health factors related to food preferences and exposures, physical activities, perception of time management, social support, stressors and stress relief methods. Conclusions: Using thoughts, opinions and ideas derived from AI health intervention participants is the best method of creating the most culturally appropriate online health maintenance intervention.

▼ Cancer rates are different among countries due to a variety of reasons including
nutrition status of a population. Cross-cultural studies have found huge differences in cancer incidences. Dietary macronutrients have been associated with these differences based on the comparison of various cancer incidences across populations. Flavonoids function as cancer preventive components due to their biological functions. Although some information is available on the relationship between cancer risks and the consumption of macronutrients and flavonoids, these relationships have not been observed on national or global levels. The consumptions of macronutrients for each country were estimated using food consumption data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The flavonoid intakes were derived from the same and combined with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) flavonoid databases. The cancer incidence data was obtained from the World Health Organization (WHO). Then, multiple regression analyses were performed to establish the associations between cancer incidence rates and the consumption of macronutrients and flavonoids. European, Australian and North American countries tended to have higher consumption of fat, protein and energy, while Middle Eastern countries tended to have higher consumption of CHO. European and part of South American countries tended to have higher consumption of total flavonoids and flavan-3-ols. The highest flavone consumption was among Asian and Middle Eastern countries, theaflavin among South American countries, flavanone among Central American countries, anthocyanidin among Asian, European and Middle Eastern countries and flavonol among South American, Asian, European and Middle Eastern countries. Our study demonstrated a negative association between the consumption of total flavonoids and cancer incidence rates of the liver and cervix uteri. However, incidence rates of most other cancers were positively associated with the total flavonoids consumption. Multiple regression models showed incidence rates of most cancers are positively associated with the consumption of flavonols. The same is true for flavan-3-ols, but to a lesser degree. However, incidence rates of most cancers are negatively associated with the consumption of flavone. The same is true for theaflavin, but to a lesser degree. A similar negative association exists between cervix uteri cancer and the consumption of anthocyanidin. Flavanones were positively associated to prostate and lip with oral cavity cancers, whereas flavones were positively related to lip with oral cavity and pharynx cancers. Bringing in fat, CHO and protein consumptions to the model did not change the associations between the consumption of flavoniods and cancer incidence rates. However, bringing in flavoniods consumption to the macronutrient model changed the associations between cancer incidence rates and the macronutrient consumption. The most significant positive associations were between the consumption of protein…

▼ Flavonoids have great potential in prevention of several chronic diseases. The objective of this study was to determine the flavonoid intake levels, their major food sources, and effects of flavonoid intake on BMI from dietary data of 33 college athletes at South Dakota State University in 2011. Food intake data was from a 3-day dietary recall survey. The flavonoid intakes were calculated using Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) and USDA flavonoid databases. Correlation and multiple regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between flavonoid consumption and BMI. The study showed the average intake of total flavonoids for 33 SDSU college athletes was about 73.13 mg/day and median was 39.43 mg/day. These values are much lower than that of a typical American populations due to the unique dietary habits of college athletes. The flavan-3-ols was the most abundant subclass, followed by flavonols, flavanones, anthocyanidins, and flavones. These rankings are consistent with findings from similar studies. The main food group sources of flavonoids were fruits, beverages, and vegetables. Top five food sources for total flavonoids were black tea, orange juice, onions, apples with skin, and blueberries. Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed that high consumption of cyaniding, pelargonidin, peonidin, petunidin, epicatechin-3-gallate, epigallocatechin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, gallocatechin, kaempferol, and quercetin were associated with lower BMI. So are the intakes of flavones, flavonols and total flavonoids. Multiple regression model including gender, daily calorie value, and intakes of 5 flavonoid subclasses concluded that high intakes of flavonols were associated with low BMI value. This study will prove to be useful in encouraging college athletes to achoose a balanced diet. It also laid a great foundation for future studies on health benefits of flavonoids by providing unique methodology of estimating flavonoid intake.

▼ This dissertation is an exploration of associations between weight related eating behaviors, weight satisfaction and biological indicators of low energy availability in college aged females. Data presented in this dissertation were collected from two independent samples. Sample One contains cross-sectional data from a large group of college students who completed an online survey. The survey instrument included demographic questions that assessed height, weight, satisfaction with body weight,
nutrition education and validated instruments including the Weight Related Eating Questionnaire (WREQ) and The Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3). Data from Sample One are included in the analysis for Chapter 2, focused on exploring differences in WREQ subscales between athletes, nonathletes who exercise regularly and inactive controls. Sample One was also used for the analysis presented in Chapter 3 exploring the differences between college-aged females who are satisfied or dissatisfied with their body weight. Sample two contains longitudinal data collected in a small sample of college females, categorized as competitive endurance athletes, recreational exercisers and less active controls. Participants visited the human performance laboratory three different times. Tests performed at each visit included: resting energy expenditure, body composition, height, weight, blood samples, 3-day diet records, 7-days of accelerometer wear and maximal graded exercise test on a treadmill. Data collected from Sample Two are used in the cross-sectional analysis from Chapter 3 exploring differences between weight satisfied and weight dissatisfied college females at baseline for the anthropometric and biological outcomes collected. Findings from data collected in Sample Two are also reported in the repeated measures ANOVA presented in Chapter 4. Results of the study indicate that there are significant differences in subscale scores of the WREQ between the athletes, recreational exercisers and sedentary participants in Sample One. There are also significant differences in outcomes between those who are satisfied with their body weight and those who are dissatisfied. Although the analysis in Chapter 4 appears to be underpowered, the lack of difference over time or between groups can be explained by the fact that none of the participants in the sample had energy availability lower than 20 kcal/kg lean body mass per day.

▼ The majority of U.S. children do not meet recommendations for fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption. FV confer numerous health benefits including intake of critical shortfall nutrients, reduced risk of chronic diseases, and maintenance of healthy weights. Identifying both policy and behavioral approaches to increase children's consumption of a variety of FVs has become a public health priority. When evaluating policy and interventions it is integral to apply validated dietary assessment methods to measure FV selection, consumption, and waste. The three aims of this dissertation addressed the feasibility of dietary assessment methods and their application to evaluate policy change and behavioral interventions.
Aim 1: Apply validated dietary assessment methods to evaluate the effect of national school lunch policy change on elementary school children's FV consumption. As of the 2012 school year, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires school children to select either a fruit or a vegetable with a reimbursable meal. The objective of the first study was to compare children's FV choices in two school cafeteria environments a year before these new USDA regulations took effect. Elementary school (grades 3-5) children's FV choices were measured during Spring 2011 at two northeast elementary schools (NES-A and NES-B). NES-A had a self-serve salad bar, whereas NES-B served pre-portioned FV and pizza daily. Of 555 trays assessed (n=284 NES-A, n=271 NES-B), 15.3% (n=85) had no FV selected. A higher percentage of trays from NES-A had no FV (23.6%, n=67) in comparison to NES-B (6.6%, n=18) (P<0.0001). On average children selected more processed FV (PFV) (80.8g) than whole FV (WFV) (40.5g, P<0.001). The mean amount of FV selected was lower in NES-A (111.4g) than NES-B (131.5g, P<0.01). When trays without a FV were removed, quantities selected were not significantly different between schools (P=0.46). For PFV, 100% fruit juice was on 41.4% of trays (n=230) and pizza was on 42.1% of NES-B trays (n=114). Trays with pizza or 100% fruit juice were less likely to have a WFV (P<0.001, P<0.0001 respectively). In the second study, elementary school children's FV selection, consumption and waste were compared in two northeast elementary schools before the USDA rule in spring 2012 (10 school visits, tray observations n=498) and following the USDA rule in spring 2013 (11 school visits, tray observations n=944). More children selected FVs in higher amounts when FVs were required compared to when they were optional (0.69 cups vs. 0.89 cups, P<0.001); however, consumption decreased slightly (0.51 cups vs. 0.45 cups, P=0.01) and waste increased (0.25 cups vs. 0.39 cups, P<0.001).
Aim 2: Address the feasibility of non-research volunteers (teachers and parents) collecting digital imaging (DI) dietary assessment data in a sample of elementary schools. Two Northeast Elementary Schools (NES-A and NES-B) were recruited and a parent-based dietary assessment team (PDAT, n=5) and teacher based dietary…
