Driving under the influence behaviours among high school students who mix alcohol with energy drinks
(Elsevier, 2018-06-01)Alcohol and energy drinks are commonly used substances by youth in Canada, and are often mixed (AmED). While several studies have shown that AmED can have dangerous effects, less well understood is how AmED is associated ... -
Dysregulated Phosphate Metabolism, Periodontal Disease, and Cancer: Possible Global Health Implications
(MDPI, 2019-02-11)An association between periodontal disease and cancer has been established in recent studies, but no common etiology has been identified in the hopes of reducing the global burden of these non-communicable diseases. This ... -
Dysregulation of Phosphate Metabolism and Conditions Associated With Phosphate Toxicity
(Nature, 2015-06-03)Phosphate homeostasis is coordinated and regulated by complex cross-organ talk through delicate hormonal networks. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), secreted in response to low serum calcium, has an important role in maintaining ... -
Effect of a Mobile Phone Intervention on Quitting Smoking in a Young Adult Population of Smokers: Randomized Controlled Trial
(JMIR, 2018-10-23)Background: Digital mobile technology presents a promising medium for reaching young adults with smoking cessation interventions because they are the heaviest users of this technology. Objective: The aim of this study ... -
Effect of complementary food with small amounts of freshwater fish on whole blood n-3 fatty acids in Cambodian infants age 6-15 months
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)The impact of freshwater fish consumption on the status of long-chain n-3 fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) in infants in landlocked, low-income populations is unknown. We used secondary data from a randomized, single-blinded, ... -
The effect of different methods to identify, and scenarios used to address energy intake misestimation on dietary patterns derived by cluster analysis
(BioMed Central, 2021-05-08)Background: All self-reported dietary intake data are characterized by measurement error, and validation studies indicate that the estimation of energy intake (EI) is particularly affected. Methods: Using self-reported ... -
Effect of obesity on knee joint biomechanics during gait in young adults
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-04-26)While there are many comorbidities associated with obesity, one of the more poorly understood is knee osteoarthritis through obesity. The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematics and kinetics of gait and cumulative ... -
The effect of portable HEPA filter air cleaners on indoor PM2.5 concentrations and second hand tobacco smoke exposure among pregnant women in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia: The UGAAR randomized controlled trial
(Elsevier, 2018-02-15)Background Portable HEPA filter air cleaners can reduce indoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5), but their use has not been adequately evaluated in high pollution settings. We assessed air cleaner effectiveness in reducing ... -
The effects of a simulated occupational kneeling exposure on squat mechanics and knee joint load during gait
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-12-01)Occupational kneeling is associated with an increased risk for tibiofemoral knee osteoarthritis. Forces on the knee in the kneeling posture, as well as the greater incidence of meniscus tears among workers, likely contribute ... -
The Effects of Home Exercise in Older Women With Vertebral Fractures: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
(Oxford, 2020-04)Background Regular exercise is advocated in osteoporosis guidelines to prevent fractures. Few studies have evaluated the effect of exercise on functional performance, posture, and other outcomes that are important to ... -
Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid in Whole Blood Are Differentially and Sex-Specifically Associated with Cardiometabolic Risk Markers in 8-11-Year-Old Danish Children
(Public Library of Science, 2014-10-15)n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids improve cardiovascular risk markers in adults. These effects may differ between eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), but we lack evidence ... -

Engaging older adults in healthcare research and planning: a realist synthesis
(BioMed Central, 2016-12-01)Background The importance of engaging the community in healthcare research and planning has been widely recognized. Currently however, there is a limited focus on older adults, Canada’s fastest growing segment of the ... -
Evaluation of regression-based 3-D shoulder rhythms
(Elsevier, 2016-08)The movements of the humerus, the clavicle, and the scapula are not completely independent. The coupled pattern of movement of these bones is called the shoulder rhythm. To date, multiple studies have focused on providing ... -
Evaluation of the online Beverage Frequency Questionnaire (BFQ)
