Dietary assessment is the process of evaluating what people eat by using one or several intake indicators. It is the best approach for identifying nutrients that are likely to either be under-or over consumed by the individual or groups of interest. It also can be used to identify food patterns and preferences. Dietary assessment was done through food weighment and dietary diversity to identify the food consumption pattern, food and nutrients intake and food preferences of SHG and Non SHG households. This study was conducted on 120 SHG households and 30 Non SHG households.

Food predilection is linked to variants in the hepatokine ‘‘Fibroblast Growth Factor-21” gene (FGF21); with rs838133 linked to the sweet tooth in Caucasians. The effect of FGF21 variants on food intake is still unclear in other populations. A cohort of 196 healthy Emirati subjects was investigated [age: 30.34 ± 9. 75yrs (44.4% males)]. The FGF21 rs838133 and rs838145 were genotyped. The daily intake was calculated based on a 61-item food frequency questionnaire.

The growth in the broiler segment is expected to remain strong due to consumer preference for chicken meat. The live market sales of broiler meat still constitute more than 90 % of total sales volume as most consumers prefer freshly slaughtered chicken meat. Modern commercial broilers have a high capacity for lipid biosynthesis because selection strategies have focused on improved body weight gain, breast yield and feed efficiency. Therefore, finding new means to increase the skeletal muscle growth and to reduce excess fat is important for both human health and poultry production.

The present day Indians prefer quail meat due to low cholesterol and fat content than that of other poultry meats. One hundred ninety two (192) 7days old broiler quail chicks of either sex were taken for the study. The chicks were weighed and randomly distributed into four dietary treatments with four replicates in each group having twelve (12) chicks in each replicate. The dietary treatments were: T1 - control diet; T2- diet containing 5% fish silage and T3-diet containing 10% fish silage and T4 - diet containing 15% fish silage.

In the last 10 years, many advances have been made in the statistical modelling of time series data on air pollution and health. Standard regression methods used initially have been almost fully replaced by semi-parametric approaches (Speckman, 1988; Hastie and Tibshirani, 1990; Green and Silverman, 1994) such as Generalized linear models (GLM) with regression splines (McCullagh and Nelder, 1989), Generalized additive models (GAM) with non-parametric splines (Hastie and Tibshirani, 1990) and GAM with penalized splines (Marx and Eilers, 1998).

Data on cancer relative to physical activity have been inconsistent and difficult to interpret because cancer represents not one disease, but many distinct, site-specific diseases. To further complicate the situation, risk factors are specific to each disease. Nevertheless, over the past decade, increasing evidence indicates that physical activity is associated with decreased overall cancer mortality and decreased incidence of specific types of cancers (Sternfeld, 1992; Lee, 1995).

The use of nitrous oxide should be limited to cases where topical and local anesthetics are inadequate. In such situations, consultation with the prenatal care provider would be prudent. Adequate precautions must be taken to prevent hypoxia, hypotension and aspiration (13). Alterations in anatomy and physiology induced by pregnancy have anesthetic implications and present potential hazards for the mother and the fetus. Therefore, most anesthesiologists prefer to use local and regional anesthetics for pregnant women....

Physical Activity Therapy Although exercise alone is only moderately effective for weight loss, the combination of dietary modification and exercise is the most effective behavioral approach for the treatment of obesity. The most important role of exercise appears to be in the maintenance of the weight loss. Currently, the minimum public health recommendation for physical activity is 30 min of moderate intensity physical activity on most, and preferably all, days of the week.
