Summary: This umbrella review provides a comprehensive overview of the current evidence on the health effects of cheese consumption. The review includes meta-analyses and pooled analyses of prospective studies examining the association between cheese consumption and various health outcomes. The findings suggest that cheese consumption is inversely associated with mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other health outcomes.

Summary: Consumption of yogurt and other fermented products has positive effects on gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health, cancer risk, weight management, diabetes and metabolic health, and bone density. There is a causal relationship between lactose digestion and tolerance and yogurt consumption, and consistent associations between fermented milk consumption and reduced risk of breast and colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes, improved weight maintenance, and improved cardiovascular, bone, and gastrointestinal health. Dairy product consumption, including fermented products like yogurt, should be encouraged as part of national dietary guidelines for favorable health outcomes.

Summary: The study found a significant inverse association between total nut and tree nut intake with the risk of cancer and its mortality. A 5-g/d increase in total nut intake was associated with lower risks of overall, pancreatic, and colon cancers, and higher intakes of total nuts, tree nuts, and peanuts were linked to reductions in cancer mortality.

Summary: The overall conclusion from the study is that total dairy consumption is associated with a modestly lower risk of hypertension, CHD, and stroke; however, low-fat dairy consumption is more strongly associated with lower risk, particularly in relation to hypertension and stroke. High-fat dairy consumption also shows a lower risk of stroke.

Summary: This study quantitatively compared the differences in protein N-glycosylation patterns between milk and yogurt, showing that the fermentation process of yogurt could cause changes in the Nglycosylation of certain milk proteins. The majority of milk proteins maintained relatively unchanged N-glycosylation status in yogurt, but significant alterations in the abundance of some N-glycosites were observed.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that higher yogurt consumption was associated with a lower risk of mortality from all causes and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but not with cancer mortality. Each additional serving of yogurt per day was significantly associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and CVD mortality.

Summary: The study found that higher levels of maternal and paternal education are associated with reduced under-5 mortality, with a dose-response relationship. Maternal education was a stronger predictor of child survival, and even a single additional year of schooling showed significant reductions in child mortality.

Summary: The study suggests a positive association between short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and all-cause as well as cause-specific mortality, with each 10 ppb increase in NO2 associated with a rise in the risk of death. Heterogeneity in the results could be reduced through regional and study-design stratification.

Summary: Although papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is generally associated with a good prognosis, aggressive variants such as hobnail PTC have worse clinical outcomes. This literature review and meta-analysis examined the clinicopathological characteristics of reported cases of hobnail PTC and investigated its impact on mortality. The study found that older age and larger tumor size significantly affected mortality, while the percentage of hobnail cells did not. Classical characteristics such as extrathyroidal extension, distant metastases, and lymph node metastases all had a significant impact on mortality. Overall, hobnail PTC appears to be associated with worse survival outcomes, highlighting the importance of careful assessment of this variant in all PTC cases.

Summary: For the treatment of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), physical activity interventions have been proposed as an effective strategy. Sensorimotor training including endurance, resistance, and dance was found to be the most effective physical activity interventions for mitigating PD motor symptoms.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between resilience, personality traits, and hopelessness, as well as the differences between different age groups. The results showed that resilience was negatively related to neuroticism and positively associated with other personality traits, while also being negatively related to hopelessness. Additionally, older adults had lower levels of resilience compared to young adults.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different types of exercise in reducing arterial stiffness in children and adolescents. The results showed that aerobic exercise and high intensity interval training (HIIT) were more effective in reducing pulse wave velocity (PWV), while sensorimotor training did not show a significant advantage.

Summary: This study developed a computational solution to interact with users on topics related to COVID-19 and mapped the correlations between user behavior and events. The findings showed that users accessed the solution for valuable and updated information on COVID-19, including verifying the authenticity of possible fake news. The mapping of user behavior revealed an increased need for self-care information as the number of cases and deaths increased, while the demand for statistical data decreased. Additionally, the constant updating of this technology enhanced public knowledge about the pandemic and clarified specific doubts about COVID-19.

Summary: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the association between wine consumption and cardiovascular mortality, CVD, and CHD, and analyze the influence of personal and study factors. A total of 25 studies were included in the review, and the meta-analysis showed that wine consumption was inversely associated with the risk of CHD (RR=0.76), CVD (RR=0.83) and cardiovascular mortality (RR=0.73). Age, female proportion, and follow-up time did not affect this association. However, caution is needed when interpreting these findings as increasing wine intake may be harmful to certain individuals.

Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and psychological problems and to examine the relationship between different food groups of the MedDiet and various patterns of psychosocial health problems among Spanish adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of 700 adolescents aged 12 to 17. Adherence to the MedDiet was measured using the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for Children and Teenagers (KIDMED), while psychosocial health problems were assessed with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The findings revealed that adolescents with low adherence to the MedDiet had higher scores in SDQ total difficulties, conduct problems, and hyperactivity problems, and lower scores in pro-social behavior compared to those with medium and high adherence. Additionally, the intake of fruits, nuts, and legumes was associated with better psychosocial health, whereas consuming sweets, skipping breakfast, or having a high consumption of pasta or rice for more than 5 weeks was linked to higher psychosocial health problems. These results suggest that higher adherence to the MedDiet may have positive effects on psychosocial health in adolescents.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the associations among passive (TV viewing) and active (using other electronic devices) screen time and academic achievement and executive functions in schoolchildren and to assess whether this relationship is mediated by diet quality. The results suggest that children who spent >3 h watching TV had lower academic achievement and children who spent >3 h using other electronic devices had more inhibition. Both types of screen use were associated with a lower quality of diet.

Summary: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in brain function through the gut-brain axis. This review highlights the effects of gut microbiota-derived dietary metabolites on cell-to-cell interactions in the central nervous system, particularly microglia, astrocytes, and neuronal cells, affecting cognitive function, mood, and behavior. The review also discusses the potential of diet-induced microbial metabolite-based therapies as novel approaches to mental health treatment.
