Associations between Low-Carbohydrate Diets and Low-Fat Diets with Frailty in Community-Dwelling Aging Chinese Adults

Xiaoxia Li, Qingan Wang, Linfeng Guo, Yixuan Xue, Yuanyuan Dang, Wanlu Liu, Ting Yin, Yuhong Zhang, Yi Zhao

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between the low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) score, low-fat diet (LFD) score and risk of frailty in older Chinese adults. The results showed that compared to the lowest quartile of LCD score, the highest quartile had a 27% lower risk of frailty. No significant associations were observed between LFD score and risk of frailty.

Low and high carbohydrate isocaloric diets on performance, fat oxidation, glucose and cardiometabolic health in middle age males

Philip J. Prins, Timothy D. Noakes, Alex Buga, Dominic P. D'Agostino, Jeff S. Volek, Jeffrey D. Buxton, Kara Heckman, Dalton W. Jones, Naomi E. Tobias, Holly M. Grose, Anna K. Jenkins, Kelli T. Jancay, Andrew P. Koutnik

Summary: Recent research challenges the notion that high carbohydrate, low fat (HCLF) diets are superior for athletic performance and highlights the potential health benefits of low carbohydrate, high fat (LCHF) diets. In this study, highly trained competitive middle-aged athletes followed either a HCLF or LCHF diet for 31 days and found that there were no significant differences in performance, body composition, or metabolic markers between the two groups. However, the LCHF diet resulted in higher rates of fat oxidation and improved glycemic control, especially in individuals at risk for diabetes.

Gut microbiota adaptation to low and high carbohydrate-to-protein ratio diets in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

Yanpeng Zhang, Manjie Sun, Yucheng Liu, Ting Chu, Xianjie Liu, Zhihao Cui, Shengzhen Jin, Xiaochen Yuan

Summary: This study investigated the adaptability of gut microbiota in grass carp to diets with different carbohydrate-to-protein ratios. The results showed that high-carbohydrate diets had a greater negative impact on gut microbiota compared to high-protein diets. The change in gut microbiota may be related to the growth performance of grass carp, and specific bacterial genera may play key roles in the effects of high-protein and high-carbohydrate diets on host health and metabolism.

Low-carbohydrate diets, low-fat diets, and mortality in middle-aged and older people: A prospective cohort study

Yimin Zhao, Yueying Li, Wenxiu Wang, Zimin Song, Zhenhuang Zhuang, Duo Li, Lu Qi, Tao Huang

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term associations between low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs) and low-fat diets (LFDs) and mortality among middle-aged and older individuals. The results showed that higher scores of overall LCD and unhealthy LCD were associated with increased risks of total and cause-specific mortality, while a healthy LCD was associated with slightly lower total mortality. On the other hand, the highest score of a healthy LFD was associated with significantly lower total, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy LFD with less saturated fat in preventing all-cause and cause-specific mortality among middle-aged and older individuals.

Severe Dyslipidemia Mimicking Familial Hypercholesterolemia Induced by High-Fat, Low-Carbohydrate Diets: A Critical Review

Veera Houttu, Aldo Grefhorst, Danny M. Cohn, Johannes H. M. Levels, Jeanine Roeters van Lennep, Erik S. G. Stroes, Albert K. Groen, Tycho R. Tromp

Summary: Recent studies have shown a link between high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets and severe hypercholesterolemia, similar to the levels observed in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) could be due to reduced clearance of LDL particles or increased production of their precursors. The diets associated with hypercholesterolemia are characterized by increased intake of saturated fat and cholesterol, and limited to no intake of carbohydrates and fiber. However, the pathophysiological explanation for severe hypercholesterolemia is still unclear, and further research is needed. Clinicians should consider ruling out high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets as a possible cause of hypercholesterolemia in FH patients without a known mutation, and discuss dietary modifications to reduce LDL-C levels and cardiovascular disease risk in these patients.

Effects of Palm Stearin versus Butter in the Context of Low-Carbohydrate/High-Fat and High-Carbohydrate/Low-Fat Diets on Circulating Lipids in a Controlled Feeding Study in Healthy Humans

Parker N. Hyde, Teryn N. Sapper, Richard A. LaFountain, Madison L. Kackley, Alex Buga, Brandon Fell, Christopher D. Crabtree, Stephen D. Phinney, Vincent J. Miller, Sarah M. King, Ronald M. Krauss, William J. Kraemer, Jeff S. Volek

Summary: This study compared the effects of palm stearin and butter consumption on circulating cholesterol levels in healthy subjects on low-carbohydrate/high-fat and high-carbohydrate/low-fat diets. The results showed that butter led to higher LDL cholesterol levels compared to palm stearin, regardless of the background dietary variations, primarily due to larger cholesterol-rich LDL particles.

Alternative Dietary Patterns for Americans: Low-Carbohydrate Diets

Jeff S. Volek, Stephen D. Phinney, Ronald M. Krauss, Richard J. Johnson, Laura R. Saslow, Barbara Gower, William S. Yancy, Janet C. King, Frederick M. Hecht, Nina Teicholz, Bruce R. Bistrian, Osama Hamdy

Summary: The decades-long dietary experiment outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, focusing on limiting fat and increasing carbohydrate intake, has not been effective in addressing the escalating epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, it is argued that personalizing the level of dietary carbohydrate should be a high priority based on evidence of metabolic variability among Americans.

Low carbohydrate high fat ketogenic diets on the exercise crossover point and glucose homeostasis

T. D. Noakes, P. J. Prins, J. S. Volek, D. P. D'Agostino, A. P. Koutnik

Summary: The crossover effect in exercise science states that fat oxidation is the primary fuel at rest and during low-intensity exercise, while carbohydrate oxidation becomes dominant at moderate to high exercise intensities. This effect makes four predictions: the crossover point at which >50% of energy comes from carbohydrate oxidation is at >= 60% VO(2)max; each individual has a maximum fat oxidation capacity lower than the crossover point; fat oxidation is minimized at >= 85% VO(2)max, making carbohydrates the predominant fuel; and high-carbohydrate low-fat diets enhance exercise performance. However, recent studies challenge these predictions and suggest that a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet can shift the crossover point and increase fat oxidation rates.

Metaproteomics Approach and Pathway Modulation in Obesity and Diabetes: A Narrative Review

Francesco Maria Calabrese, Annalisa Porrelli, Mirco Vacca, Blandine Comte, Katharina Nimptsch, Mariona Pinart, Tobias Pischon, Estelle Pujos-Guillot, Maria De Angelis

Summary: Low-grade inflammatory diseases have been found to be associated with metabolic disturbances, such as gut microbiota dysbiosis. Metaproteomics has been used in the past decade to investigate protein composition in specific healthy and pathological conditions. This review applied a rigorous protocol to select 10 metaproteomics studies aiming at investigating obesity and diabetes, providing insights into microbial and human metaproteome alterations and metabolic patterns in individuals affected by diabetes and obesity. However, the lack of metaproteomic data limits objective considerations, and the establishment of specific databases and standardized analysis protocols is needed to further enhance our knowledge on these prevalent diseases.

Summary: This study compared the cut-off points for low grip strength in assessing sarcopenia between the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) and a large German sample. The results showed that the German sample had cut-off points that were 2 kg higher than the EWGSOP2 cut-off points. Using higher cut-off points increased the sensitivity, suggesting intervention for more patients at risk, but also potentially leading to unnecessary diagnostics/treatment for others without immediate need.
