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: Treatment with prebiotics, a type of dietary fiber, has been found to increase antibody concentrations post-influenza vaccination, and is associated with immunogenicity. Higher intake of dietary fiber, particularly from grain-based foods, is positively correlated with antibody concentrations.

Summary: This study suggests that increasing intake of beta-cryptoxanthin-rich foods may protect against depressive symptoms, as a significant inverse association was found between dietary beta-cryptoxanthin intake and depression prevalence. However, further prospective studies are needed before dietary recommendations can be made.

Summary: Dietary intake in stroke survivors is poor, with inadequate nutrient intake and lower overall diet quality compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Additionally, poverty and food insecurity are more prevalent in stroke survivors and are associated with worse diet quality.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between dietary flavonoids and the aging of organs (heart, kidney, liver) and the whole body. The results show that higher flavonoids intake is negatively associated with the aging of the whole body, heart, and liver, but positively associated with the aging of the kidney in participants with chronic kidney disease. Among all flavonoid subclasses, anthocyanidins, isoflavones, and flavones have the strongest inverse associations with the aging of the whole body and the heart.

Summary: This study found an association between dietary niacin intake and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), suggesting that higher dietary niacin intake may be associated with a lower risk of NAFLD.

Summary: The dietary intake of acrylamide is a global health concern, with studies showing that children have higher intake levels compared to adults. Research from Europe and Asia generally estimates lower acrylamide intake in diets compared to studies from the USA, highlighting the potential for reduced exposure among certain populations.

Summary: This meta-analysis found a non-linear relationship between dietary potassium intake and the risk of diabetes. The results support campaigns promoting an increase in dietary potassium intake to reduce the risk of disease and mortality.

Summary: This study examines the association between watermelon intake and nutrient intake and diet quality using a large, nationally representative sample. The results show that watermelon consumers have higher total diet quality and intake of nutrients such as dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A, lycopene, and other carotenoids, while having lower intake of added sugars and total saturated fatty acids.

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: Increasing potassium intake can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases for the general population, but excessive potassium can lead to hyperkalemia in hemodialysis patients. Current mainstream management focuses on dietary potassium restriction, but limited evidence supports its efficacy in improving mortality and quality of life. Small observational studies suggest that dietary potassium intake may not be directly associated with serum potassium levels in hemodialysis patients when specific dietary patterns and adequate dialysis are followed. More large-scale clinical trials are needed to provide high-quality evidence, as well as further research to determine optimal daily potassium intake and beneficial dietary patterns for hemodialysis patients.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the use of urinary potassium excretion as an indicator of dietary potassium intake in CKD patients with or without RAAS inhibitor therapy. A cohort of 138 CKD patients participated in the study, and there were no significant differences in dietary intakes, blood biochemistry, and urine excretion parameters between patients with or without RAAS inhibitor therapy. Urinary potassium showed a weak correlation with eGFR and dietary potassium intake, while serum potassium was inversely correlated with eGFR. In patients receiving RAAS inhibitor therapy, the correlation between urinary potassium excretion and dietary potassium intake was reduced.

Summary: There is a non-linear inverse J-shaped relationship between dietary carbohydrate intake and serum Klotho levels among American adults aged 40-79, with the highest levels observed at a carbohydrate intake of 48.92% to 56.20%.

Summary: The study found that dietary potassium intake was not associated with serum potassium or hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease patients. Hyperkalemia was mainly linked to factors such as diabetes mellitus and metabolic acidosis.
