Other covariates we will examine include perceived self-efficacy, diet, SES, maternal gestational diabetes and parental obesity.
Also included were measures of diabetes self-efficacy, diet, and physical activity, although different measures were used in each of the two studies.
In two community samples we show a consistent pattern of curvilinear relationships between the DDS and HbA1c, diabetes self-efficacy, diet, and physical activity.
Multiple regression equations associated the DDS17, a 17-item scale that yields a mean-item score, with HbA1c, diabetes self-efficacy, diet, and physical activity.
Another study showed weekly phone coaching for goal setting and self-management significantly improved self-efficacy, diet, exercise, and foot care [ 48].
In two samples of type 2 diabetic patients we found a consistent pattern of curvilinear relationships between the DDS and HbA1c, diabetes self-efficacy, diet, and physical activity.
Significant curvilinear relationships occur between the DDS17 and measures of glycemic control, diabetes-specific self-efficacy, diet, and physical activity in two community-based samples of type 2 diabetic adults, with the exception of physical activity in REDEEM.
Being in the program group rather than the control group was correlated with significant increases in healthy eating and activity, significantly greater weight loss and reduction in waist circumference, significantly greater readiness to change, exercise self-efficacy, diet self-efficacy, diabetes knowledge, and positive mood.
Potential psychological mediator variables that significantly correlated with program participation and at least one of the four change variables were included in the analyses (knowledge, positive mood, motivation, exercise self-efficacy, and diet self-efficacy).
The objective of our study was to evaluate in CF children the biological efficacy of diet supplementation with 5-MTHF and vitamin B12 on red cell membrane features.
The goal of our study was to evaluate in CF children the biological efficacy of diet supplementation with the active form of folic acid (5-MTHF) associated with vitamin B12 on red cell membrane features, used as a paradigm for other cellular plasma membranes.
