Obesity is one of the major health risk factors behind the rise of non-communicable conditions. Understanding the factors influencing obesity is very complex since there are many variables that can affect the health behaviors leading to it. Nowadays, multiple data sources can be used to study health behaviors, such as wearable sensors for physical activity and sleep, social media, mobile and health...
This study aimed to evaluate the modifications of electroencephalographic (EEG) power spectra in overweight and obese patients. EEG was recorded while performing the Stroop Color Word Test. Stroop Color Word Test was performed and EEG activity was also monitored during the experiment. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used to show statistical difference between baseline and Stroop Color Word...
The human use of electronic displays (television or computers), also known as “screen time,” is currently a topic of great interest within behavior medicine and general clinical research. This behavior has been linked with a wide variety of pathologies, including obesity, circadian disruption, sleeping disorders, cardiometabolic disease, and socio-emotional behavior disorders in children. As an alternative...
It is well known in the medical community that being overweight/obese is damaging to one's health, and increases the risk of diabetes. However, this is currently investigated via physiological/biochemical experiments considered to be invasive, or through the body mass index of a population. In this paper we propose a non-invasive method with statistical pattern recognition to analyze the relationship...
Obesity is increasing globally. Obesity brings with it many chronic conditions. There has been increasing research in the use of ICT interventions to combat obesity using food logging and image calorie analysis. These interventions allow users to document their calorie intake to help promote healthy living. However using food logs may lead to inaccurate readings as the user may incorrectly calculate...
Obesity in the world has spread to epidemic proportions. In 2008 the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 1.5 billion adults were suffering from some sort of overweightness. Obesity treatment requires constant monitoring and a rigorous control and diet to measure daily calorie intake. These controls are expensive for the health care system, and the patient regularly rejects the treatment...
