... A number of factors contribute to the complex process of aging, which finally define whether someone will or not develop age-associated chronic diseases in late life. These determinants comprise genetic susceptibility as well as various behavioral, environmental, and dietary factors, all of which have been shown to influence specific pathways regulating the aging process and the extension of life, ...

Abstract:
... Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving area that offers unparalleled opportunities of progress and applications in many healthcare fields. In this review, we provide an overview of the main and latest applications of AI in nutrition research and identify gaps to address to potentialize this emerging field. AI algorithms may help better understand and predict the complex and non-linear ...

Abstract:
... The results from epidemiological studies on the relationship between coffee consumption and gastric cancer risk are inconsistent and inconclusive. Based on the previous studies, we hypothesized that coffee consumption was not associated with the risk of gastric cancer. We aimed to test this hypothesis by conducting a meta-analysis to systematically review and quantify the relationship between coff ...

Abstract:
... Increasing the efficiency and sustainability of cattle production is an effective way to produce valuable animal proteins for a growing human population. Genetics and nutrition are the 2 major research topics in selecting cattle with beneficial phenotypes and developing genetic potentials for improved performance. There is an inextricable link between genetics and nutrition, which urgently require ...

Abstract:
... More evidence regarding registered dietitian nutritionist implementation of evidence-based nutrition practice guidelines (EBNPGs) is needed. We assessed the utility of an automated informatics tool to evaluate congruence of documented nutrition care with 13 individual recommendations in the diabetes mellitus (DM) EBNPG and with the guideline overall. A concurrent validation study was conducted usi ...

Abstract:
... Equity remains poorly conceptualised in current nutrition frameworks and policy approaches. We draw on existing literatures to present a novel Nutrition Equity Framework (NEF) that can be used to identify priorities for nutrition research and action. The framework illustrates how social and political processes structure the food, health and care environments most important to nutrition. Central to ...

Abstract:
... Multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS) is a complex disease including a genetic component and the presence of lifestyle-related risk factors. We hypothesized that, in subjects with MCS, there would be a greater decrease in plasma triglycerides (TG) with a low-fat (F) diet than with a low-carbohydrate (C) diet. In secondary analyses, we tested the effect of both diets on TG concentration acc ...

Abstract:
... Healthy eating is identified as a priority in pregnancy. Vegetables are low-energy, nutrient-dense foods that support health. Needs of populations differ by demographics; as such, there is a need to investigate vegetable intake in pregnant women of lower socioeconomic status (SES). The aim of this scoping review was (1) to describe vegetable intake during pregnancy in servings or grams and compare ...

Abstract:
... Modern people live in an environment with ubiquitous food cues, including food advertisements, videos, and smells. Do these food cues change people’s eating behavior? Since diet plays a crucial role in maintaining health, it has been researched for decades. As convenient alternatives for real food, food images are widely used in diet research. To date, researchers from Germany, Spain, and other co ...

Qualitative health research, focused on individual perspectives of health, wellness, illness and recovery, has emerged as a unique discipline of this field. With distinct foci, methods and rules, qualitative health research has the potential to answer applied health research questions to ...

Abstract:
... Vitamin D is truly unique—not a ‘vital’ amine in the true sense of the word, but rather a prohormone, which is produced in the skin during exposure to sunlight (UVB radiation at 290–315 nm) and which can also be obtained from food and from supplements. A high prevalence of low vitamin D status has been reported across the world in a wide range of population groups, and this includes communities li ...

Abstract:
... Hearing impairment and vitamin D (VD) deficiency are both public health concerns. The purpose of the study was to examine whether VD deficiency and hearing impairment, specifically sensorineural hearing loss, are associated. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2001-2006, 2009-2012) were used in this cross-sectional study. The pure-tone average (PTA) was calculated for ...

... This paper analyzes the way in which the EFSA has addressed the limitations that the essentiality of nutrients presents to the requirement of obtaining evidence from RCTs for the scientific substantiation of health claims. By redefining the requirements to affirm causality in the case of essentiality of nutrients, the EFSA has constrained the debate on the relevance of different methodologies in t ...

Abstract:
... Optimal Vitamin B₁₂ status is important for vascular health. Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) is an adherent junction protein involved in the maintenance of a functional endothelium. We hypothesized that a vitamin B₁₂ deficiency can negatively affect markers of vascular function, such as VE-cadherin. Within a human intervention study, we explored the possible association between cobalam ...

Abstract:
... Cellular senescence plays a key role in aging and age-related disease initiation. It is a highly dynamic and multistep process that can be stimulated by various stimuli, including cellular stress, DNA damage, telomere shortening, and oncogene activation. Also, senescence is a potent antitumor mechanism, by preventing the proliferation of cancerous cells. However, some of the senescent cells have a ...

Abstract:
... Vegetarians are reported to have lower body weight, blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared to omnivores, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. A vegetarian diet may protect the vascular endothelium, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and CVD. This cross-sectional study compared vascular function between omnivores (OMN) and vegetarians (VEG). We hypothesized that VEG woul ...
... Dietary patterns based on pathways of diseases such as subclinical atherosclerosis can predict diet-disease associations better than dietary quality indices or data-driven indices. We aimed to develop and validate a novel dietary atherogenic index (DAI) in adults using the common carotid artery-intima media thickness (c-IMT) in Korean adults. Participants aged ≥40 years from the Yangpyeong cohort ...

Abstract:
... Various reports show the beneficial effect of naringenin on the development of cancer. We hypothesized that naringenin suppresses cancer cells by activating intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathways. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to reveal the effect of naringenin on cancer inhibition in vitro and in vivo by altering apoptotic factors. Literature search was carried out us ...
... Repeated weight loss cycles are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity. Meal-induced thrombin formation, measured as prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), is observed in individuals with overweight after weight loss, and postprandial effects can be one of the mechanisms underlying harmful effects during intentional weight loss. We hypothesize that consumption of high-fat meals during intent ...
