Summary: This study tested the usability of the "myfood24 Healthcare" dietary assessment app and healthcare professional website in two clinical populations. The results showed that the compliance among app users was reasonable, but some improvements are needed. The feedback from patients and healthcare professionals indicates a high acceptance of the app.

Summary: In the UK Women's Cohort Study, vegetarian women were found to have a higher risk of hip fracture compared to regular meat-eaters. Further research is recommended to confirm this finding in men and non-European populations and to explore the factors responsible for the observed risk difference.

Summary: ESPEN and WHO present a summary of the significant interactions between nutritional status and COVID-19, including the increased risk of developing and experiencing severe disease with pre-existing undernutrition, the risk of developing malnutrition during COVID-19, the impact of obesity on malnutrition, the potential improvement of disease outcomes with nutritional care, and the negative impact of social and public health determinants on nutrition quality and status.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the impact of the PhunkyFoods school-based food and nutrition education programme on food literacy, cooking skills, and dietary behavior in primary school children. A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted in 28 primary schools in North Yorkshire, UK. The results will be analyzed by comparing the differences between the intervention and control groups after 12 months, adjusting for baseline values.

Summary: This study investigated the purchasing patterns of street food and takeaway food in Sarajevo and Banja Luka, and found that takeaway venues had higher customer influx and buying rates compared to street food sites. Industrial food products were more prevalent in street food venues, while takeaway purchases mainly consisted of homemade foods. Customers in takeaway venues were more likely to buy both food and beverages, especially during lunchtime and in city centres. The findings reflect the local food culture and dietary behaviors, providing insights for designing interventions tailored to these food environments and customer habits.

Summary: The taste of foods plays a significant role in adolescents' food choices and intakes. Sweet foods are the main contributors to daily energy intake, with positive associations with energy, sugar, and fat intakes. Salty food intake is linked to higher saturated fat and sodium consumption, while neutral food consumption is inversely associated with energy, carbohydrate, sugar, saturated fat, and total fat intakes. Balancing the contributions of different tasting foods could help improve adolescent diet quality.

Summary: Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events and death. Reducing salt intake is an effective strategy to lower blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular diseases, while increasing potassium intake is associated with lower cardiovascular risk. However, in Lithuania, salt intake is twice as high as the recommended level by the World Health Organization, and potassium and iodine intakes are below the recommended levels.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics over 24 hours in women with gestational diabetes (GDM) and the moderating effect of treatment strategy. The results showed significant variability in glucose levels throughout the day, with the highest variability in the morning. Additionally, individuals assigned to diet+metformin had greater difficulty managing glycemia, and increased dietary protein intake may assist with the management of dysglycemia.

Summary: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, particularly in the European Region where the incidence and mortality rates have not significantly improved. In addition to the increasing numbers of multidrug-resistant TB, malnutrition is also a significant contributing factor to TB burden and treatment outcomes. Addressing malnutrition through widespread nutritional screening and counseling could potentially improve the management of TB and enhance patient outcomes and survival.

Summary: The food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) is a commonly used method in nutritional epidemiology to assess an individual's habitual dietary intake. This study evaluated the validity and reproducibility of the FFQ used in the DCH-NG cohort. Results showed that the FFQ provided satisfactory rankings of energy, nutrient, and food group intakes, making it suitable for epidemiological studies investigating diet and disease outcomes.

Summary: The association between salt-related knowledge, attitude, behavior (KAB) and actual salt consumption in Greek adults was investigated in this study. The results showed that the average salt intake among Greek adults exceeded the WHO recommendation, and significant differences in knowledge scores were found based on sex, age, education, and BMI. However, no direct correlation was observed between salt intake and either knowledge or behavior scores. These findings emphasize the importance of food product reforms and accelerated efforts towards reducing salt intake by industry stakeholders.
