Acceptability and potential effectiveness of commercial portion control tools amongst people with obesity (2016)
Journal Article
Solis-Trapala. (2016). Acceptability and potential effectiveness of commercial portion control tools amongst people with obesity. British Journal of Nutrition, 1974 -1983. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114516004104

Exposure to large portion sizes is a risk factor for obesity. Specifically designed tableware may modulate how much is eaten and help with portion control. We examined the experience of using a guided crockery set (CS) and a calibrated serving spoon...

A simplified approach to estimating the distribution of occasionally-consumed dietary components, applied to alcohol intake (2016)
Journal Article
Solis-Trapala. (2016). A simplified approach to estimating the distribution of occasionally-consumed dietary components, applied to alcohol intake. BMC medical research methodology, 78 - 88 (11). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12874-016-0178-3

Background Within-person variation in dietary records can lead to biased estimates of the distribution of food intake. Quantile estimation is especially relevant in the case of skewed distributions and in the estimation of under- or over-consumption...

Sequences of Regressions Distinguish Nonmechanical from Mechanical Associations between Metabolic Factors, Body Composition, and Bone in Healthy Postmenopausal Women (2016)
Journal Article
Solis-Trapala. (2016). Sequences of Regressions Distinguish Nonmechanical from Mechanical Associations between Metabolic Factors, Body Composition, and Bone in Healthy Postmenopausal Women. The Journal of Nutrition, 846-854. https://doi.org/10.3945/jn.115.224485

Background: There is increasing recognition of complex interrelations between the endocrine functions of bone and fat tissues or organs. Objective: The objective was to describe nonmechanical and mechanical links between metabolic factors, body co...
