Summary: The study found that children aged 2-3 years had significantly higher percentages meeting the recommended intake for fruits, vegetables, dairy, and protein foods compared to those aged 4-8 years, while they also had significantly higher percentages staying within the recommended limits for added sugar and sodium. Age was a factor in adherence to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations among younger children, with minimal differences seen by race/ethnicity and family income.

Summary: Nutritional intake is crucial for human health, and while most nutrients are sufficiently supplied in China's current food system, some such as calcium and zinc still need further enlargement to improve the nutrition condition of the population. Supply-side regulation like fortification and enrichment is also necessary to enhance nutrient availability. This study provides insights into the development and current status of nutrient adequacy in China's food supply, offering valuable information for policymakers.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of beef consumption on nutrient intake and adequacy among adolescents. The results showed that beef consumers had higher intake of calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin B12, and zinc compared to non-consumers. However, more than half of the adolescent population had inadequate intake of calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, and E, regardless of beef consumption.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between added sugars intake from specific types of beverages and micronutrient adequacy among US children, adolescents, and teens. The results showed that different types of beverages with added sugars were associated with different micronutrient adequacy outcomes. Therefore, continued monitoring of sweetened beverage consumption and its association with added sugars intake, micronutrient adequacy, and diet quality is necessary.

Summary: Most countries worldwide face challenges in providing nutritionally adequate diets to their populations, with deficiencies of key nutrients such as choline, calcium, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, and iron being common despite overall global production adequacy. High-income countries generally produce enough dietary nutrients, while low-income countries often lack important micronutrients in their mainly root and cereal-based food production. South Asian food production falls short of half the required vitamin A. Encouraging domestic production of specific nutrients can improve nutritional adequacy and support nutrition-sensitive policies for achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

Summary: Food insecurity is associated with compromised intake of some micronutrients, especially among adolescent girls. Targeted interventions are needed to improve children's overall diet quality, including reducing specific nutrient inadequacies, especially among food-insecure children.

Summary: From 2001 to 2017, the proportion of older adults with food insecurity in the United States has increased more rapidly than the general population. This study found that low-income food-insecure older adults, who rely on the SNAP program, have poor diet quality and inadequate nutrient intake. However, dietary supplements help to lower the risk of nutrient inadequacy.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between serum triglycerides and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels using the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. The results show an independent and negative correlation between serum triglycerides and PSA levels among American males. This correlation may contribute to difficulties in detecting asymptomatic prostate cancer and diagnosing it at advanced stages due to detection bias.

Summary: The early years, between the ages of one and six, are crucial for rapid physical, social, and cognitive growth. A study on young US children aged 1-6 found that while some children had adequate nutrient intake, deficiencies in iron and vitamin B6 were evident. Additionally, there were concerns about inadequate intake of key nutrients such as calcium, fiber, choline, potassium, and DHA. Further investigation is needed to understand the discrepancy between nutrient intakes and serum deficiency levels.

Summary: This study examined the nutrient intakes, diet quality, and health outcomes of mango consumers compared with non-consumers using data from NHANES. The findings showed that mango consumers had higher nutrient intakes and better diet quality, with lower intake of sugar, sodium, and fat, and higher intake of fiber, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins. Mango consumption was also associated with lower BMI scores, particularly in males. These results suggest that mango consumption is linked to improved nutrient intake, diet quality, and certain health outcomes.

Summary: The Western diet, high in dietary phosphorus from processed foods, can have detrimental effects on cardiovascular and renal health. The contribution of highly absorbed added phosphorus to these effects is relatively unknown. This study found associations between total, added, and natural phosphorus intakes and biomarkers of health status, including a negative relationship between added phosphorus intake and HDL cholesterol, and a negative correlation between naturally occurring phosphorus intake and elevated blood pressure. However, the impact of increases in phosphorus intake on biomarkers was small, and no meaningful associations with mortality were found.

Summary: Meat and poultry are important sources of protein and nutrients in a healthy diet. Removing a serving of meat or poultry from Healthy Dietary Patterns (HDPs) resulted in significant decreases in protein and key nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamins, and minerals. The study emphasizes the importance of including meat and poultry as part of a balanced diet to ensure adequate nutrient intake.
