Summary: Variation in vitamin B12 and folate status among Chinese women postpartum was examined. The study found that vitamin B12 levels slightly increased at the early stage of postpartum and then dropped over time, while folate levels increased with postpartum age. Nutrient supplementation during pregnancy and dietary diversity were associated with elevated serum vitamin B12 and folate concentrations.

Summary: This study investigated the nutritional status, dietary intake, and dietary diversity of waste pickers in South Africa. The findings revealed that waste pickers had poor nutritional status with monotonous starch-based diets lacking vegetables and fruits. These results reflect their precarious economic status and highlight the need to improve access and affordability of nutritious food.

Summary: The study found that the prevalence of adequate dietary intake among T2DM patients attending health facilities in Kampala is very low, with only a small proportion meeting the criteria. Unmarried individuals, salaried or self-employed individuals had lower dietary intake compared to their counterparts. Patients attending Nsambya hospital diabetes clinic had significantly higher dietary intake compared to those receiving treatment in Lubaga hospital. More efforts are needed to educate patients on better dietary choices aligned with disease management.

Summary: A cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess the nutritional status and dietary diversity of pregnant and nonpregnant Rohingya women in a relocation camp. The results showed that a significant portion of nonpregnant women were underweight or overweight/obese, while a considerable percentage of pregnant women were undernourished or overweight/obese. Low Women's Dietary Diversity Score was associated with thinness in nonpregnant women and low BMI in pregnant women.

Summary: We utilized data from NHANES to examine the association between dietary oxidative balance score (DOBS) and femur bone mineral density (BMD) as well as the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The findings demonstrated a positive correlation between DOBS and femur BMD, as well as a negative association between DOBS and the risk of osteoporosis in this population. These results suggest that a higher DOBS may provide a protective effect against femur osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, highlighting the importance of an antioxidant-rich diet for bone health. Furthermore, DOBS could serve as a valuable tool in identifying individuals with osteoporosis and guiding early intervention strategies.

Summary: Using primary data from 479 farmer households, this study examined the associations between agricultural and socioeconomic factors and farmer household dietary diversity in Visakhapatnam and Sonipat. It was found that cropping intensity, distance to food markets, and wealth index were all significantly associated with farmer household dietary diversity. The study concluded that these associations are complex and context-specific, and that different connections to dietary diversity can be found in different regions of India.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between dietary diversity score among pregnant mothers and the birth size of their offspring, as well as the effect of seasonality on birth size. The findings showed an association between dietary diversity score and birth size, and that the impact of seasonality on birth size varied across the distribution of birth size. Exploring the effect of seasonality on birth size distribution is important for identifying vulnerable subgroups and improving maternal and child nutrition and health.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: The study found that the modified Controlling Nutritional Status system, which includes C-reactive protein as an inflammatory parameter, is more accurate than the traditional system in predicting the survival of patients with cancer cachexia. High Controlling Nutritional Status and modified Controlling Nutritional Status are both independent risk factors for survival and have a negative impact on survival in patients with advanced-stage cancers, such as esophagogastric and colorectal cancer.

Summary: This psychometric study proposed a scale for estimating the consumption of ultra processed foods using item response theory. The study used data from a representative sample of 2515 adolescents aged 18 and 19 from Brazilian Birth Cohorts Consortium. The findings demonstrated that the proposed scale can accurately estimate the consumption of ultra processed foods and is correlated with latent traits related to food consumption.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
