Summary: This article describes the habitual dietary intake of participants in the Lifelines cohort study in the Netherlands. The study found that men had higher energy and macronutrient intake compared to women, and these intakes decreased with increasing age and BMI. Men also had higher intake of most micronutrients. Differences in food group consumption were observed between men and women, as well as among different age, SES, and BMI categories.

Summary: This review focuses on the impact of manipulating energy and nutrient intake on circulating concentrations of testosterone and the potential mechanisms governing these changes. The importance of understanding how changes in macronutrient and micronutrient intake can influence the androgen response is emphasized.

Summary: This systematic review aims to synthesize the literature on the dietary intakes of masters athletes (MAs) and compare them to younger and older MAs as well as the general population. The review found that energy intake was higher for older MAs compared to the general population, while younger male MAs had higher energy and macronutrient intakes. Micronutrient intake was also found to be higher in MAs compared to the general population. However, it was noted that younger female MAs may restrict or misreport energy intake, requiring further investigation. This study emphasizes the need for comprehensive assessments of dietary intake in masters athletes to evaluate the impact on their health.

Summary: This study assessed the food consumption pattern and dietary intakes among female youth belonging to three occupational groups in Vietnam. Results showed that workers consumed less baked/grain-based sweets and fast foods, and more soft drinks, other sweets, and processed meat compared to high school and college students. The majority of participants had energy intake lower than the estimated energy requirement, and a substantial percentage had insufficient or excessive intake of carbohydrate and fat. These findings highlight the need for interventions to improve the diets of female youths during this critical period.

Summary: The study revealed that patients with ARFID had significantly lower total energy and protein intake compared to healthy controls, with most vitamins and minerals intake meeting only 20-30% of recommended levels. Notably, intake of vitamin B1, B2, C, K, zinc, iron, and potassium were significantly lower in ARFID patients relative to controls. Variety of food intake was reduced in ARFID patients across all food groups except carbohydrates.

Summary: Improving dietary habits at a young age can prevent adverse health outcomes. A study on Dutch toddlers found that while most had adequate nutrient intake, there were high and low intake levels for certain nutrients. Many toddlers used dietary supplements and consumed mainly unhealthy products, indicating a need for a shift towards a healthier diet to prevent negative health impacts.

Summary: This study investigated the association between dietary patterns and bowel movements in adults living in Luxembourg. The results showed that intake of grains and lipid-rich foods was associated with a lower constipation score, while intake of sugary products, sodium, and higher energy intake were correlated with a higher constipation score. Interestingly, neither fruits and vegetables nor dietary fiber were significantly associated with constipation.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the associations between nutrition and sensory capacities among older adults with cognitive and physical impairments, and to test the mediation effect of inflammation. The results showed no significant association between nutrients and hearing acuity, but a higher intake of saturated fatty acids was related to poorer long-distance visual acuity and greater Omega-3 consumption was associated with better near-vision capacity.

Summary: This review explored the impact of diets on enteric infectious diseases and the effects of different dietary components on host resistance to infections. The study revealed that dietary components can influence enteric infections through various mechanisms, including direct inhibition or binding to pathogens, and indirect modulation of immune function and gut microbiota.

Summary: Children with esophageal atresia have similar growth parameters to healthy controls but have a higher proportion of fats and lower proportion of carbohydrates in their diet. The severity of dysphagia is positively correlated with the proportion of energy from fats.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intake in ALS patients, comparing subgroups according to the disease severity. The results showed that patients with higher disease severity had lower intakes of vitamin E, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, folate, and selenium. Therefore, monitoring the dietary intake of essential micronutrients in neurological processes is important for ALS patients.

Summary: A study showed that the diets of elderly people in rural and urban areas of Costa Rica differ. Rural elderly individuals consumed more carbohydrates, fiber, dietary iron, and palm oil, while urban elderly individuals had a higher intake of total fat, mono and polyunsaturated fat, alcohol, and dietary calcium.

Summary: This study found positive associations between intake of oily and non-oily fish and circulating IGF-I concentrations in the UK Biobank. A weaker positive association was also observed between IGF-I and poultry intake. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying these associations.

Summary: There are significant differences in dietary intakes between participants in the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) and the UK Biobank (UKB), and these differences are associated with socio-economic status and body mass index (BMI). These differences may lead to different interpretations of diet-disease associations.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the associations between types and sources of dietary carbohydrates and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. The study found that high intake of free sugar was positively associated with CVD incidence, while high intake of fiber and substitution of refined grain starch and free sugars with wholegrain starch and non-free sugars, respectively, were inversely associated with CVD incidence.

Summary: This study aimed to develop an intervention to improve uptake and engagement with a mainstream weight management program for people with serious mental illness (SMI). The intervention included attending a 12-week mainstream weight management program and receiving online adjunct support and regular check-ins. Preliminary results showed that the intervention was feasible and acceptable, warranting further trials.

Summary: Higher intakes of whole grains and fiber are associated with lower risk of colorectal cancer, especially in individuals with high production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). The study found that consuming more whole grain starch and non-free sugar was inversely associated with colorectal cancer risk. However, this protective effect of whole grain intake may vary depending on an individual's genetic predisposition for SCFA production.

Summary: Behavioral weight management programs (BWMPs) can reduce cardiometabolic risk factors, with effects lasting for at least 5 years after program end, despite weight regain. However, the evidence regarding whether they can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease or diabetes is less certain.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between different fat types in dietary patterns and cardiometabolic health markers, and compare them with two diet quality scores. The results showed that dietary patterns that encourage healthy fat consumption were associated with favorable cardiometabolic health biomarkers. This study strengthens the evidence for incorporating fat type into policy and practice guidelines for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Summary: Overconsumption of foods high in fat, sugars, and salt poses a health risk. The UK government has implemented legislation to limit price promotions of these foods in supermarkets, but the impact on online settings is unclear. This study aimed to determine the effects of removing promotions on the energy and nutrient content of shopping baskets in an online experimental supermarket.

Summary: This study found that there were inverse associations between intake of total dairy protein, protein from milk, and dietary calcium and the incidence of colorectal cancer. However, positive associations were observed between milk protein, dietary calcium, and prostate cancer risk. No significant associations were found between dairy protein intake and breast cancer risk.
