The overall plant-based diet index(PDI), healthful plant-based diet index(h PDI), and unhealthful plant-based diet index(u PDI), were calculated using survey responses to assess dietary patterns. We applied Cox proportional hazard regression to estimate the multivariable hazard ratios(HRs) and 95% confidence intervals(95% CIs) of EC across 3plant-based diet indices and further stratified the analysis by subgroups.Results: The final study sample included 15,184 participants in the cohort. During a follow-up of 219,365person-years, 176 patients with EC were identified. When the highest quartile was compared with the lowest quartile, the pooled multivariable-adjusted HR of EC was 0.50(95% CI, 0.32-0.77) for h PDI. In addition, the HR per 10-point increase in the h PDI score was 0.42(95% CI, 0.27-0.66) for ECs. Conversely, u PDI was positively associated with the risk of EC, and the HR was 1.80(95% CI, 1.16-2.82). The HR per 10-point increase in the u PDI score was 1.90(95% CI, 1.26-2.88) for ECs. The associations between these scores and the risk of EC were consistent in most subgroups. These results remained robust in sensitivity analyses.Conclusions: A healthy plant-based dietary pattern was associated with a reduced risk of EC. Emphasizing the healthiness and quality of plant-based diets may be important for preventing the development of EC.展开更多

However, the association was not well documented in Chinese due to the complexity of Chinese foods. We mainly assessed the dietary patterns and examined their effects on metabolic syndrome among Chinese adults. Four dietary patterns including ＇Refined Grains ＆ Vegetables＂ Pattern, ＇Dairy ＆ Eggs＇ Pattern, ＇Organ Meat ＆ Poultry＇ Pattern, and ＇Coarse Grains ＆ Beans＇ Pattern were extracted. ＇Dairy ＆ Eggs＇ Pattern was associated with a decreased odds of metabolic syndrome in women, and ＇Coarse Grains ＆ Beans＇ Pattern was associated with a decreased odds of hypertension in men. These results provided a scientific basis for future research and dietarv euideline Perfection.展开更多

Methods On the basis of the results of food consumption survey, the calorie intake was calculated according to the balanced diet method and the quality of diet was assessed by scores of desirable dietary pattern (DDP). Results It was found that food consumption and dietary patterns changed remarkably during the 1990s. Grain consumption was decreasing year by year, but the consumption of animal food was markedly increasing. Although the score of desirable dietary pattern (DDP) in urban residents was more than 90, the deducted score due to over-consumption of animal food increased. The mortality from infectious diseases evidently decreased in the whole province, while the death rates of some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, colorectal cancer and breast cancer, were increasing rapidly in urban areas. Conclusions Sufficient attention should be paid to the negative effects of change in dietary patterns on people's health, especially in the urban residents.展开更多

Generally speaking, the pathophysiological pathway frequently involves either (or a combination of) elevated serum cholesterol levels, predominantly attributed to dietary patterns characterized by extremely high levels of saturated and trans-fat consumption. Day-to-day nutritional epidemiology among university students suggests that they represent a crucial demographic for the study of preventive interventions. Objective: This in-depth study and investigation were specifically aimed to quantitatively assess and compare prevailing patterns of dietary fat consumption between female students enrolled in health sciences and non-health sciences programs at major universities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was comprised of 434 Saudi female university students (age range: 18 - 25 years), utilizing a validated Block Dietary Fat Screener accompanied by anthropometric measurements and comprehensive demographic data collection. The sampling methodology consisted of a snowball technique that was spread across three major academic institutions in Riyadh. Results: Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between academic specialization and patterns of dietary fat consumption (p = 0.012). Paradoxically, students of health science exhibited a higher prevalence of very high fat intake (41.9%) compared with their non-health sciences counterparts (27.6%). Surprisingly, anthropometric stratification revealed that it was the underweight students who demonstrated very high levels of fat consumption. A notable socioeconomic gradient was observed, with students from households earning 15,000 - 20,000 SR monthly showing the highest prevalence of very high-fat consumption (47.1%), although this association did not achieve statistical significance (p = 0.104). Conclusion: These findings challenge the conventional assumption that health sciences education correlates with superior dietary behaviors. The data suggests a critical need for enhanced education in nutrition, as well as intervention using various behavioral programs across all academic disciplines, particularly those addressing the disconnect between nutritional knowledge and dietary practices among students of health sciences. Future longitudinal studies are warranted in order to elucidate the temporal relationship between academic specialization and dietary behaviors.展开更多

文摘Erectile dysfunction(ED)is prevalent among men,but its relationship with dietary habits is uncertain.The aim of our study was to assess whether dietary patterns enhance erectile function by reviewing the literature published before August 1,2022,via PubMed,Web of Science,and EMBASE databases.The data compiled included author details;publication dates,countries,treatments,patient numbers,ages,follow-ups,and clinical trial outcomes,such as ED cases,odds ratios(ORs),confidence intervals(CIs),and International Index of Erectile Function-5(IIEF-5)scores with means and standard deviations.An analysis of 14 studies with 27389 participants revealed that plant-based diets(OR=0.71,95%CI:0.66-0.75;P<0.00001),low-fat diets(OR=0.27,95%CI:0.13-0.53;P=0.0002),and alternative diets such as intermittent fasting and organic diets(OR=0.54,95%CI:0.36-0.80;P=0.002)significantly reduced ED risk.High-protein low-fat diets(hazard ratio[HR]=1.38,95%CI:1.12-1.64;P<0.00001)and high-carb low-fat diets(HR=0.79,95%CI:0.55-1.04;P<0.00001)improved IIEF-5 scores.Combined diet and exercise interventions decreased the likelihood of ED(OR=0.49,95%CI:0.28-0.85;P=0.01)and increased the IIEF-5 score(OR=3.40,95%CI:1.69-5.11;P<0.0001).Diets abundant in fruits and vegetables(OR=0.97,95%CI:0.96-0.98;P<0.00001)and nuts(OR=0.54,95%CI:0.37-0.80;P=0.002)were also correlated with lower ED risk.Our meta-analysis underscores a strong dietary-ED association,suggesting that low-fat/Mediterranean diets rich in produce and nuts could benefit ED management.

文摘This cohort study was designed to explore the relationship between maternal dietary patterns(DPs)and bone health in Chinese lactating mothers and infants.We recruited 150 lactating women at 1-month postpartum.The estimated bone mineral density(eBMD)of subjects’calcanei and the information on dietary intake were collected.After 5-month follow-up,the eBMD of mothers and their infants were measured again.Factor analysis was applied to determine maternal DPs.General linear models were used to evaluate the association between maternal DPs and maternal eBMD loss or infants’eBMD.With all potential covariates adjusted,Factor 2(high intake of whole grains,tubers,mixed beans,soybeans and soybean products,seaweeds,and nuts)showed a positive association with the changes of maternal eBMD(β=0.16,95%CI:0.005,0.310).Factor 3(high intake of soft drinks,fried foods,and puffed foods)was inversely correlated with the changes of maternal eBMD(β=-0.22,95%CI:-0.44,0.00).The changes of maternal eBMD were positively associated with 6-month infants’eBMD(β=0.34,95%CI:0.017,0.652).In conclusion,Factor 2 might contribute to the maintenance of eBMD in lactating women,while Factor 3 could exacerbate maternal eBMD loss.Additionally,the changes of maternal eBMD presented a positive correlation with 6-month infants’eBMD.

文摘Objective: Plant-based diets have multiple health benefits for cancers;however, little is known about the association between plant-based dietary patterns and esophageal cancer(EC).This study presents an investigation of the prospective associations among three predefined indices of plant-based dietary patterns and the risk of EC.Methods: We performed endoscopic screening for 15,709 participants aged 40-69 years from two high-risk areas of China from January 2005 to December 2009 and followed the cohort until December 31, 2022. The overall plant-based diet index(PDI), healthful plant-based diet index(h PDI), and unhealthful plant-based diet index(u PDI), were calculated using survey responses to assess dietary patterns. We applied Cox proportional hazard regression to estimate the multivariable hazard ratios(HRs) and 95% confidence intervals(95% CIs) of EC across 3plant-based diet indices and further stratified the analysis by subgroups.Results: The final study sample included 15,184 participants in the cohort. During a follow-up of 219,365person-years, 176 patients with EC were identified. When the highest quartile was compared with the lowest quartile, the pooled multivariable-adjusted HR of EC was 0.50(95% CI, 0.32-0.77) for h PDI. In addition, the HR per 10-point increase in the h PDI score was 0.42(95% CI, 0.27-0.66) for ECs. Conversely, u PDI was positively associated with the risk of EC, and the HR was 1.80(95% CI, 1.16-2.82). The HR per 10-point increase in the u PDI score was 1.90(95% CI, 1.26-2.88) for ECs. The associations between these scores and the risk of EC were consistent in most subgroups. These results remained robust in sensitivity analyses.Conclusions: A healthy plant-based dietary pattern was associated with a reduced risk of EC. Emphasizing the healthiness and quality of plant-based diets may be important for preventing the development of EC.

文摘This study investigated the association of hypertension with cognitive impairment and determined whether better adherence to plant-based diet(PBD)patterns may modify the association.We analyzed 4485 elderly individuals with normal cognition at baseline from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey(2011−2018).Cognitive function was assessed by the Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE),and cognitive impairment was defined as an MMSE score below 18 points.Diet patterns were assessed using the overall plant-based diet index(PDI),healthful plant-based diet index(hPDI),and unhealthful plant-based diet index(uPDI)derived from a simplified food frequency questionnaire(FFQ).Blood pressure was measured through physical examination.Cox proportional hazard regression and restricted cubic spline were performed.Participants with hypertension had an increased risk of cognitive impairment compared with normal group.The associations between hypertension and cognitive impairment were more pronounced among participants with lower PDI than those with higher PDI,among participants with lower hPDI than those with higher hPDI,and among participants with higher uPDI than those with lower uPDI.A healthful PBD pattern may attenuate hypertension-induced cognitive impairment,while an unhealthful PBD pattern may exacerbate hypertensioninduced cognitive impairment in elderly.Adherence to healthful PBD pattern could be used to prevent or mitigate adverse neurological effects in the hypertensive population.

文摘Exploring the utilization effect of water-land resources under the evolution of dietary patterns is of great significance in achieving sustainable global food consumption and the effective allocation of national resources.Our selected study area was China,a country with rapidly changing dietary consumption patterns,and the research period was between 1987 and 2020.Based on the material called Chinese Dietary Guidelines 2021,this study introduced the“virtual water”and the“virtual land”to quantify the utilization effect of water-land resources under the evolution of Chinese dietary patterns.Results showed that the dietary patterns gradually changed from“cereal-vegetable-based consumption”to“diversified consumption”.Food consumption’s total water footprint(WF)increased from 471.1 Gm3in 1987 to 848.8 Gm3in 2020,with a growth rate of 80.2%.Moreover,the total land requirement for food(LRF)increased from 88.8 Mha in 1987 to 129.9 Mha in 2020,with a growth rate of 46.3%.Furthermore,the meat consumption was the major contributor to the increase in total WF(104.0%)and LRF(102.1%).In contrast to the balanced diet pattern,there was no waste of water-land resources consumption for the food consumption of urban-rural residents in China between 1987 and 2020.However,the consumption of water resources would gradually approach the resource cost under the balanced diet patterns.It would eventually break through the critical value and reach the state of resource waste.In addition,the findings showed that urban residents’waste rate of water-land resources for meat consumption increased by 142.3%compared with that in 1987.The research results can provide scientific guidance for resolving the food crisis under the supply of water-land resources in China and have an essential reference for national food security and sustainable development of resources and environment.

文摘The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is rising worldwide,paralleling the epidemic of obesity.The liver is a key organ for the metabolism of proteins,fats and carbohydrates.Various types of fats and carbohydrates in isocaloric diets differently influence fat accumulation in the liver parenchyma.Therefore,nutrition can manage hepatic and cardiometabolic complications of NAFLD.Even moderately reduced caloric intake,which leads to a weight loss of 5%-10%of initial body weight,is effective in improving liver steatosis and surrogate markers of liver disease status.Among dietary patterns,the Mediterranean diet mostly prevents the onset of NAFLD.Furthermore,this diet is also the most recommended for the treatment of NAFLD patients.However,clinical trials based on the dietary interventions in NAFLD patients are sparse.Since there are only a few studies examining dietary interventions in clinically advanced stages of NAFLD,such as active and fibrotic steatohepatitis,the optimal diet for patients in these stages of the disease must still be determined.In this narrative review,we aimed to critically summarize the associations between different dietary patterns,obesity and prevention/risk for NAFLD,to describe specific dietary interventions’impacts on liver steatosis in adults with NAFLD and to provide an updated overview of dietary recommendations that clinicians potentially need to apply in their daily practice.

文摘Dietary pattern has been revealed to be associated with metabolic syndrome. However, the association was not well documented in Chinese due to the complexity of Chinese foods. We mainly assessed the dietary patterns and examined their effects on metabolic syndrome among Chinese adults. Four dietary patterns including ＇Refined Grains ＆ Vegetables＂ Pattern, ＇Dairy ＆ Eggs＇ Pattern, ＇Organ Meat ＆ Poultry＇ Pattern, and ＇Coarse Grains ＆ Beans＇ Pattern were extracted. ＇Dairy ＆ Eggs＇ Pattern was associated with a decreased odds of metabolic syndrome in women, and ＇Coarse Grains ＆ Beans＇ Pattern was associated with a decreased odds of hypertension in men. These results provided a scientific basis for future research and dietarv euideline Perfection.

文摘Objective To investigate into the changes of dietary patterns and their impacts on health of urban and rural residents in Jiangsu Province, China during the 1990s. Methods On the basis of the results of food consumption survey, the calorie intake was calculated according to the balanced diet method and the quality of diet was assessed by scores of desirable dietary pattern (DDP). Results It was found that food consumption and dietary patterns changed remarkably during the 1990s. Grain consumption was decreasing year by year, but the consumption of animal food was markedly increasing. Although the score of desirable dietary pattern (DDP) in urban residents was more than 90, the deducted score due to over-consumption of animal food increased. The mortality from infectious diseases evidently decreased in the whole province, while the death rates of some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, colorectal cancer and breast cancer, were increasing rapidly in urban areas. Conclusions Sufficient attention should be paid to the negative effects of change in dietary patterns on people's health, especially in the urban residents.
文摘Colorectal cancer(CRC)is a common cancer with high morbidity and mortality rates.Its occurrence and development are determined by many factors,including genetics,the environment,lifestyle,and so on.The occurrence of CRC is often accompanied by changes in the intestinal microenvironment.Numerous studies have focused on the association between dietary patterns,dietary components,and CRC now.This article reviews five different dietary patterns:the Western diet,the Mediterranean diet,the ketogenic diet,the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet,and fasting,and themechanistic associations between their food components and CRC.The finding can provide a reference for further studies on the association between different dietary patterns and CRC and will help clinicians formulate reasonable and feasible dietary interventions.
文摘The novel coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has created a life-threatening world pandemic.Unfortunately,this disease can be worse in older patients or individuals with comorbidities,having dangerous consequences,including stroke.COVID-19–associated stroke widely increases the risk of death from COVID-19.In addition to the personal hygiene protocols and preventive policies,it has been proven that immune-compromised,oxidative,and pro-coagulant conditions make a person more susceptible to severe COVID-19 complications,such as stroke;one of the most effective and modifiable risk factors are poor nutritional status.Previous literature has shown that healthy dietary patterns,such as the Mediterranean diet,some food groups,and specific micronutrients,reduce the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.In this work,for the first time,we hypothesized that a healthy diet could also be a protective/preventive factor against COVID-19–associated stroke risk.In order to prove this hypothesis,it is required to study nutritional intake and dietary patterns in patients suffering from COVID-19–associated stroke.If this hypothesis is proven,the chronic supportive role of a healthy diet in critical situations will be highlighted once again.

文摘Objectives A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association between breast cancer risk and three common dietary patterns.Methods The PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang,Embase,and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched(until June 2022)for studies on the association between three common dietary patterns,including the Western dietary pattern,vegetarian dietary pattern and Mediterranean dietary pattern,and the risk of breast cancer.The Newcastle-Ottawa(NOS)scale was used to assess study quality.Results A total of 24 articles published from 2001 to 2021 that met the criteria were included for meta-analysis.The Western dietary pattern was positively associated with the breast cancer risk in women both before and after menopause,although the heterogeneity in the study was high(HR=1.05,95%CI:1.01-1.30,I^(2)=56.2%,P=0.019).There was an inverse association between the vegetarian dietary pattern and breast cancer risk among women(HR=0.87,95%CI:0.78-0.97,I^(2)=73.7%,P<0.001).No association was observed between the Mediterranean dietary pattern and women's risk of breast cancer(HR=0.96,95%CI:0.89-1.02,I^(2)=64.1%,P=0.010).Due to the presence of significant heterogeneity among the studies,we performed a subgroup analysis,meta-regression analysis and sensitivity analysis,and found that factors such as the type of study design were the main sources of heterogeneity in each group.These results remained largely unchanged after excluding studies of a specific type from the sensitivity analysis.Conclusion The Western dietary pattern can increase the risk of breast cancer,while the vegetarian dietary pattern can reduce the risk of breast cancer.No association between the Mediterranean dietary pattern and the risk of breast cancer was observed.

文摘The incidence of infertility has recently risen.Semen quality is an important male fertility indicator,and dietary factors can affect semen quality.We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effects of healthy dietary patterns on semen quality.A literature search was conducted in 3 databases(Embase,Web of Science and PubMed)on August 21,2021.The included cross-sectional studies examined the influence of the Mediterranean,Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension(DASH),and prudent diet patterns on semen quality parameters;six studies(1244 subjects)were included.By comparing high consumption with low consumption of healthy dietary patterns,the results of the meta-analysis showed significantly higher sperm concentrations(mean difference[MD]=6.88×10^(6) ml^(−1),95%confidence interval[CI]:1.26×10^(6) ml^(−1)–12.49×10^(6) ml^(−1);P<0.05),a significant increase in total sperm count(MD=16.70×10^(6),95%CI:2.37×10^(6)–31.03×10^(6);P<0.05),and a significant increase in progressive sperm motility(MD=5.85%,95%CI:2.59%–9.12%;P<0.01).The sperm concentration,progressive sperm motility,and total sperm count were significantly higher in men with higher versus lower consumption of healthy dietary patterns.However,the results must be interpreted with caution.

文摘Background and Objectives:We aimed to explore the relationship between dietary patterns and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)during pre-pregnancy six months using principal component analysis(PCA)and the geometric framework for nutrition(GFN).Methods and Study Design:We conducted a case-control study that included 210 GDM pregnant women and 210 controls.The dietary intake of all participants was assessed by a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire(FFQ).Major dietary patterns were extracted by PCA.A conditional logistic regression model was used to determine whether specific dietary patterns are associated with the risk of GDM.Meanwhile,the relationship between dietary patterns and GDM was visualized using GFN.Results:Four major dietary patterns were identified:“protein-rich pattern,”“plant-based pattern,”“oil-picklesdesserts pattern,”and“cereals-nuts pattern.”After adjustment for confounders,the“plant-based pattern”was associated with decreased risk of GDM(Q4 vs.Q1:OR=0.01,95%CI:0.00~0.08),whereas no significant association was found in other dietary patterns.Moreover,there was no dietary intake of ice cream cones and deep-fried dough sticks for the population,which would produce fewer patients with GDM.Deep-fried dough sticks had statistically significant differences in the case and control groups(p<0.001),while ice cream cones had the opposite result.Conclusions:The“plant-based pattern”may reduce the risk of GDM.Besides,although the“cerealsnuts pattern”had no association with GDM risk,avoiding the intake of deep-fried dough sticks could decrease GDM risk.
文摘Background: In the global burden of non-communicable diseases, the top slot among them all is occupied by various cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which also claim primacy in mortality rates. Generally speaking, the pathophysiological pathway frequently involves either (or a combination of) elevated serum cholesterol levels, predominantly attributed to dietary patterns characterized by extremely high levels of saturated and trans-fat consumption. Day-to-day nutritional epidemiology among university students suggests that they represent a crucial demographic for the study of preventive interventions. Objective: This in-depth study and investigation were specifically aimed to quantitatively assess and compare prevailing patterns of dietary fat consumption between female students enrolled in health sciences and non-health sciences programs at major universities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was comprised of 434 Saudi female university students (age range: 18 - 25 years), utilizing a validated Block Dietary Fat Screener accompanied by anthropometric measurements and comprehensive demographic data collection. The sampling methodology consisted of a snowball technique that was spread across three major academic institutions in Riyadh. Results: Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between academic specialization and patterns of dietary fat consumption (p = 0.012). Paradoxically, students of health science exhibited a higher prevalence of very high fat intake (41.9%) compared with their non-health sciences counterparts (27.6%). Surprisingly, anthropometric stratification revealed that it was the underweight students who demonstrated very high levels of fat consumption. A notable socioeconomic gradient was observed, with students from households earning 15,000 - 20,000 SR monthly showing the highest prevalence of very high-fat consumption (47.1%), although this association did not achieve statistical significance (p = 0.104). Conclusion: These findings challenge the conventional assumption that health sciences education correlates with superior dietary behaviors. The data suggests a critical need for enhanced education in nutrition, as well as intervention using various behavioral programs across all academic disciplines, particularly those addressing the disconnect between nutritional knowledge and dietary practices among students of health sciences. Future longitudinal studies are warranted in order to elucidate the temporal relationship between academic specialization and dietary behaviors.
文摘Epidemiological studies showed that night workers are at higher risk of developing chronic metabolic diseases.However,no study has investigated the changes in circadian rhythms caused by a combined effect of sleep and diet in a real-life setting on cardiometabolic health,gut microbiota,and psychological status in healthy people.A 4-week step-wise misaligned-realigned controlled-feeding trial with a 2×2 factorial design(sleep and diet)was conducted on healthy young adults.At first,subjects experienced a one-week circadian rhythm misalignment with a high-fat fast-food diet,extended eating window,and delayed sleep schedules,then gradually transited to a complete circadian rhythm realignment with a high-fiber balanced diet,8-h timerestricted eating,and normal sleep schedules.Circadian rhythm misalignment led to significantly higher levels of fasting glucose and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)of subjects compared to baseline and failed to recover to the baseline level in circadian rhythm realignments.Notably,the incremental area under the curve(iAUC)of postprandial glucose decreased with circadian rhythm adjustments as compared to that in circadian rhythm misalignment,suggesting circadian rhythm realignment by sleep or/and diet could partly restore glucose metabolism impaired by a short-term circadian rhythm misalignment.However,circadian rhythm changes did not result in overall perturbations of gut microbiota diversities.
文摘Background and Objectives:Falls are common among older females.This study investigated the relationships among falls and dietary patterns,nutritional inadequacy and prefrailty in community-dwelling older Japanese females.Methods and Study Design:This cross-sectional study involved 271 females aged 65 and over.Prefrailty was defined as exhibiting one or two of the five Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria.Frailty was excluded(n=4).Energy,nutrient and food intakes were estimated using a validated FFQ.Dietary patterns were determined from intakes of 20 food groups assessed with FFQ,by cluster analysis.Nutritional inadequacy for the selected 23 nutrients in each dietary pattern was examined based on DRIs.Binomial logistic regression was applied to examine the relationships among falls and dietary patterns,prefrailty,and inadequate nutrients.Results:Data from 267 participants were included.The incidence of falls was 27.3%,and 37.4%of participants were classified as prefrailty.Three dietary patterns identified were namely;‘rice and fish and shellfish’(n=100);‘vegetables and dairy products’(n=113);and‘bread and beverages’(n=54).A binomial logistic regression analysis revealed that dietary patterns of‘rice and fish and shellfish’(OR,0.41;95%CI,0.16-0.95),and‘vegetables and dairy products’(OR,0.30;95%CI,0.12-0.78)were negatively correlated with falls,and falls was positively associated with prefrailty.Conclusions:Dietary patterns characterized by‘rice and fish and shellfish’,and‘vegetables and dairy products’were associated with a reduced incidence of falls in communitydwelling older Japanese females.Larger prospective studies are needed to validate these results.

文摘The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between dietary patterns and the risk associated with osteoporosis in Jordanian postmenopausal women recently diagnosed with osteoporosis.A case–control study design was used to determine nutrient intake,and dietary and lifestyle patterns.Two hundred Jordanian postmenopausal women were enrolled;100 patients newly diagnosed with osteoporosis,and 100 osteoporosis-free controls,according to the inclusion criteria.Case and control groups were selected from visitors to the University of Jordan Hospital and the Jordanian Osteoporosis Prevention Society.The case-to-control ratio was(1:1).Four dietary patterns were identified in this study and they include:‘High-Fruits and Vegetables’,’Traditional’,’Unhealthy/Western’,and’High-Proteins’,which accounted for 44.7%of the total variance in food intake.The‘High-Fruits and Vegetables’dietary pattern showed a decreased likelihood of osteoporosis risk in the fourth quartile[Q4:AOR 0.375,95%CI(0.154–0.9150),P=0.031].On the other hand,the‘Unhealthy/Western’and‘High-Protein’dietary patterns were positively associated([Q3:AOR 2.834,95%CI(1.081–7.430),P=0.034]and[AQ3:OR 2.601,95%CI(1.983–6.882),P=0.045],respectively)with osteoporosis risk in the third quartile.The present results suggest that the’High-Fruits and Vegetables’dietary pattern may exert a protective effect on the risk of osteoporosis while’Unhealthy/Western’and’High-Protein’dietary patterns showed positive effects on the risk of osteoporosis.
文摘The habitual use of smartphones during meals has become a common behavior,raising concerns about its potential impact on eating habits and metabolic health.The present narrative review investigates how using a smartphone or tablet during meals can cause distractions and negatively affect metabolic health.A comprehensive narrative review was conducted by synthesizing peer-reviewed studies on the interplay between smartphone use during meals,eating behaviors,and metabolic health.Relevant literature was identified through searches in electronic databases and organized thematically to highlight trends and research gaps.By synthesizing evidence from existing literature,this review highlights that smartphone use during meals is associated with increased caloric intake,altered food composition,and disruptions in postprandial metabolic responses.These effects are mediated by reduced meal awareness and psychological distractions,including multitasking.Variability in findings arises from differences in study designs and populations.This review identifies critical research gaps,including the lack of longitudinal studies and the need to explore mechanisms underlying these relationships.By summarizing trends and patterns,this narrative review offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between digital device use,eating habits,and metabolic health,providing a foundation for future research and interventions.
