Summary: Participation in exercise, dietary and nutritional intakes have an impact on the risk and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the effects may differ according to whether a person lives alone or in a multi-person household. This study found that low physical activity levels and high energy intake were associated with MetS incidence and its components in young Korean adults, with patterns differing according to household type. Different approaches of implementing physical activity and nutrition strategies should be considered based on the type of household to prevent MetS.

Summary: Diet plays a significant role in the progression of metabolic syndrome into various diseases. The gut microbiota can modulate the impact of diet on metabolic health. Different gut microbial enterotypes are associated with distinct dietary patterns related to MetS, indicating the potential for personalized nutrition guidelines to prevent MetS.

Summary: The study aimed to examine nutrient intakes in children when eggs are added into their diet, including the CACFP school breakfast program. It found that adding eggs to breakfast can increase intake of certain vitamins and nutrients, contributing to overall dietary adequacy and public health initiatives.

Summary: This study found that there is a gender-specific association between dietary diversity score (DDS) and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). A higher DDS is inversely associated with the consumption of grains but positively associated with the consumption of fruits, non-salted vegetables, fish, and milk. Furthermore, a higher DDS is significantly associated with a lower risk of MetS, abdominal obesity, and hypertriglyceridemia in men.

Summary: This study evaluated urine organic acid metabolites in subjects with MetS, finding high levels of certain metabolites such as pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate. Some metabolites were associated with insulin resistance and components of MetS.

Summary: This study examined the interaction between seaweed intake and LPL gene rs17482735 genotypes on the incidence of metabolic syndrome. Using data from Korean adults, it was found that men with certain genotypes had a lower incidence of MetS when consuming seaweed. High seaweed intake was negatively associated with MetS, particularly in men with specific genetic variations. These findings suggest that seaweed intake in combination with LPL genetic variations may be beneficial for preventing and treating MetS.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of pre-MetSyn and its components, as well as their associations with new-onset T2D or hypertension in Korean men and women aged 40-69 years. The results showed that the prevalence of pre-MetSyn and its components varied by sex and disease, suggesting that specific phenotypes of pre-MetSyn may play a crucial role in predicting and preventing the development of T2D and hypertension.

Summary: This study systematically delineated the rice metabolome to investigate the comparative features between brown and white rice, variety-specific composition, and region-dependent metabolic content. The researchers found exclusive enrichment of compounds in brown rice compared to white rice, as well as variety-governed metabolic phenotypes among different geo-environmental factors. Furthermore, they proposed a possible linkage of region-specific metabolic signatures to soil texture and total rainfall, and highlighted the potential for microbe-host interactions to influence crop metabolites.

Summary: The study found that there is an association between diet and depression in young Korean adults. Individuals with depression had lower intake of energy and nutrients, particularly in men. This highlights the importance of improving the quantity and quality of meals for individuals with depressive symptoms.

Summary: The study found different associations between thyroid hormones and metabolic syndrome and its components in men and women. FT4 was positively associated with waist circumference, negatively associated with triglycerides, while TSH was positively associated with blood pressure and triglycerides. There was no clear association between FT4 and TSH levels and the onset of metabolic syndrome in both men and women.

Summary: This study found that a well-balanced intake of total essential amino acids (EAAs) is associated with a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Korean adults. When the overall EAA intake meets the recommended nutrient intake, the risk of high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia, and metabolic syndrome can be reduced.

Summary: In older adults, higher intake of protein and fat, and lower intake of carbohydrates at breakfast are associated with a lower rate of cognitive decline. Substituting carbohydrates with protein or fat intake at breakfast may help delay or prevent cognitive decline.
