Abstract:

Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Usually, we start to think about our health when we have some problems with it. Human health is based on genetic factors, lifestyle and ecology. Our lifestyle plays serious role because it is something we can change to improve our health. Lifestyle is the typical way of life of an individual, group, or culture. It has 45-50% impact of our health. Healthy or unhealthy lifestyle will most likely be transmitted across generations. According to the study, when a 0-3 year old c

Abstract:

Mental toughness (MT) originated within elite sport and was identified as an attribute of success. MT has emerged as being important for enhancing health-related lifestyle factors (HRLF; e.g., physical activity). Investigating the healthiness of one’s lifestyle appears a timely area to research given the current health status of the population. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to investigate MT in relation to HRLF and weight loss. Study One investigated MT and HRLF in university students (n = 167). Self-reported MT, physical activity, exercise barriers, dietary behaviour, and psychologica

Abstract:

Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the UK. A healthy diet and lifestyle may have the potential to impact upon cancer progression, treatment related side effects, and comorbidities as well as on quality of life in prostate cancer patients. Nutrition and lifestyle behaviours are therefore important aspects to consider in the treatment of prostate cancer patients. The broad aims of this thesis were to explore the importance of health behaviours in prostate cancer patients and to identify and test a suitable intervention specifically for those who are treated with androgen deprivati

Abstract:

Prostate cancer is a common cancer, particularly in Western countries. Increasing body mass index (BMI) has been associated with a modest increased risk of advanced and fatal prostate cancer (12-15% per 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI). Adipokines (adipose derived hormones) have been proposed as mediators of this association, but the results of several (mostly small) observational studies have been conflicting. The thesis describes investigations conducted into associations of adiposity, adipokines and lifestyle factors with prostate cancer; firstly, a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

Current prevention recommendations for ovarian cancer are limited, and the underlying etiology is not fully elucidated. The associations of common modifiable factors, such as psychosocial and lifestyle factors, with ovarian cancer risk need to be more fully evaluated. Thus, I examined the association of ovarian cancer with depression, physical activity, hypertension, and antihypertensive medication use among participants from two prospective cohort studies: the Nurses' Health Study and Nurses' Health Study II.

However, the effectiveness of promoting specific behaviours has been questioned by some authors who argue that encouraging more comprehensive changes in people’s behaviour and time use in the form of sustainable lifestyles

Abstract:

The adoption of health behaviours is essential if coronary heart disease patients are to optimise their chance of survival and reduce the likelihood of recurrent coronary events. However, this behavioural change may not ensue following an acute myocardial infarction(AMI). This study on first AMI subjects sought firstly to examine the psychometric properties of five scaled instruments used for assessing health behaviours. Secondly, the study assessed the prevalence of health-enhancing behaviours at the time of the first AMI and 6 months after this event.Thirdly, the magnitude of health behaviou

Abstract:

In the absence of curative therapies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), primary prevention strategies are imperative. As a component of the National Population Health Study of Neurological Conditions, systematic searches of the literature were conducted to identify lifestyle-related risk factors associated with AD. Results of the overview of reviews was suggestive of an association between current smoking, lower social engagement, light-to-moderate alcohol consumption, higher educational attainment, and regular engagement in physically and cognitively stimulating activities with risk of AD.

Abstract:

A delicate balance exists between the protective effects of adrenal glucocorticoids (GCs) secreted in response to stress and the negative consequences that the excessive production of these hormones may have for numerous systems. GCs are involved in the regulation of the stress response, have effects on feeding and body weight gain and are associated with the acceleration of central nervous system aging. Their production, secretion, and containment are subject to both environmental modulation and individual variation. Neonatal manipulations known to affect the development of the adult hypothal
