Summary: This study investigated the association between fat intake and the incidence of Parkinson disease and found that a higher consumption of large amounts of saturated fat might be associated with an increased risk of Parkinson disease. A diet low in saturated fat may be beneficial for disease prevention.

Summary: This study found that there is an association between dietary fibre intake and the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC). It was observed that higher dietary fibre intake is linked to a reduced risk of IBD and CD, but no significant effect on UC risk.

Summary: Cancer is a major global cause of death, and adequate intake of fruits and vegetables, which are rich in nutrients like flavonoids, can effectively prevent cancer. However, the specific impact of different flavonoids on cancer mortality and the population that benefits from increased flavonoid intake are still controversial and unknown. A study was conducted on 14,029 participants to explore the association between flavonoid intake and cancer mortality. The results revealed that higher intake of flavonols and specific flavonoids was associated with decreased cancer mortality, especially in certain age groups, genders, and other subpopulations. These findings suggest that personalized nutrition based on flavonoid intake can potentially improve outcomes for cancer patients.

Summary: This study suggests that different genotypes may influence fat taste sensitivity, with some genotypes being associated with differences in dietary intake. In a cohort of Caucasian females in the UK, individuals with certain genotypes showed variations in fat taste sensitivity and dietary intake. Further research on a larger, ethnically similar cohort is needed to validate these findings.

Summary: This study found that higher dietary fat intake (>32%) may increase the risk of peri- and postmenopausal breast cancer in women. Unhealthy dietary patterns characterized by the consumption of highly processed, high in sugar foods and animal fat foods were positively associated with fat intake, while a pro-healthy diet rich in low-processed plant foods, fish, and moderate consumption of low-fat dairy was inversely associated with fat intake.

Summary: This study investigated the association between fat intake and hyperuricemia in Japanese males, finding that saturated fatty acid, monounsaturated fatty acid, and polyunsaturated fatty acid levels were significantly lower in the high uric acid group. In individuals with reduced kidney function, lipid intake was negatively associated with hyperuricemia.

Summary: The lack of understanding of the prodromal phase and factors involved in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) has been a major challenge in studying its etiology and preventive strategies. The Braak and dual-hit hypotheses provide a theoretical platform to identify triggers and modifiers of PD development and suggest that the olfactory structures and gut may play a role. This review summarizes available evidence, discusses research gaps and strategies for searching environmental triggers and modifiers for PD.

Summary: Poor olfaction is common in older adults, but often goes unrecognized. This study examined the self-awareness and reporting accuracy of poor olfaction in middle-aged and older women. It found that self-reports of poor olfaction were lower compared to objective tests, and there were significant associations between poor olfaction and factors such as age, marital status, smoking, coffee drinking, obesity, health status, Parkinson disease, cognitive impairment, depression, anxiety, and seasonal allergy.

Summary: This study examines the associations between dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease risk in adult survivors of childhood cancer. The findings suggest that adhering to healthy dietary patterns, such as the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015), DASH, and aMED, may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in women. These results indicate that a diet rich in plant foods and moderate in animal foods should be recommended for the management and prevention of cardiovascular disease in childhood cancer survivors.

Summary: The use of multivitamins was not associated with lower all-cause mortality risk in cancer survivors, but it showed a modest inverse association for cardiovascular mortality in certain groups. Additionally, multivitamin use was linked to a lower risk of cancer-specific mortality in survivors of skin and breast cancer.

Summary: This study compares COVID-19 occupational safety and health (OSH) guidelines of several countries with the World Health Organization's (WHO) guidelines. It finds that guidelines focused on workers included more of WHO's guidelines. Including personal protective equipment for workers and workplace policies for wearing such equipment is associated with reduced COVID-19 risk and death rates.
