In the new review of studies led by Zhen Dong, a student in the Doctor of Public
Health program, sulfur amino acid restriction consistently
demonstrated a range of
beneficial effects including enhanced lifespan — without calorie restriction.
Feeding 25 % of the daily caloric requirement as wet diet is associated with
beneficial effects on urinary tract
health The benefit of urinary dilution using dietary moisture in small dogs had been
demonstrated (Stevenson et al. 2003b), but the amount of wet diet required to achieve this in practice was unknown.
EIP showed favorable impacts on 8 outcomes, including fewer days and episodes of hospitalization, relative to those in the comparison group, covering a range of 6 weeks to 2 years postpartum.13, 23,24 EIP also showed a favorable
effect on the percentage of children who were adequately immunized by 1 year, but the difference was no longer statistically significant by 2 years.13, 24 Early Start
demonstrated favorable
effects on 3 outcomes, including percentage who received well - child visits and dental service.25 — 27 HFA had favorable results for 4
health care outcomes, such as the number of well - child visits and whether the child had
health insurance.28 — 31 HFA had an unfavorable
effect on the number of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits.32 The research showed that Healthy Steps had a
beneficial effect on 2 outcomes: 1 - month well - child visits and diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, and pertussis vaccinations.33 Finally, NFP had favorable results on 3 outcomes measuring the number of ED visits at different follow - ups but an unfavorable / ambiguous
effect on number of days hospitalized between 25 and 50 months.34, 35 The research on 2 programs (Oklahoma's CBFRS and PAT) showed no
effects on measures of
health care use or coverage.36 — 40 The research on 5 programs (Child FIRST, EHS, Family Check - Up, HIPPY, and PALS for Infants) did not report
health care coverage or usage outcomes.
