Summary: This study found that adhering to a healthy diet, particularly increasing intake of fish, shellfish, fiber, and decreasing saturated fat intake, was associated with a reduced risk of ACVD. Additionally, high levels of leisure-time physical activity were found to reduce the risk of ACVD, while obesity was associated with an increased risk.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between the consumption of seafood and fish and the prevalence of frailty. The findings showed that the intake of fish and total seafood at baseline was negatively associated with frailty at 4-year follow-up. Particularly, the consumption of fish was beneficial for preventing exhaustion, low handgrip strength, and slow gait speed.

Summary: The study found that replacing fishmeal with insect meal in the feed significantly alters the fatty acid composition of fish fillets, leading to an increase in saturated fatty acids and a decrease in n-3 PUFA. However, this substitution did not affect the distribution of key fatty acids in the triglycerides, increasing the likelihood of better digestion and absorption by humans.

Summary: This study aimed to review the association between dietary fats and the risk of coronary events. A total of 165 prospective cohorts and randomized trials were included. The results showed that total fat and unsaturated fatty acid intake were not associated with the risk of coronary events, while trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids were modestly associated with a higher risk. Additionally, an intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and linoleic acid was modestly associated with a lower risk.

Summary: This study examined the association between frequency and type of consuming foods away from home (FAFH) and diet quality in adults in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The results showed that frequent FAFH consumption was associated with lower diet quality and lower adherence to dietary recommendations. Future studies should explore strategies to improve diet quality, such as prioritizing healthy at-home meals and improving the quality of commercial FAFH.

Summary: A study compared neonatal mortality rates in 125.5 million live births across 15 countries from 2000 to 2020. The findings showed that preterm newborns with small size for gestational age had the highest mortality rates. At the population level, preterm newborns with appropriate size for gestational age contributed the most to neonatal deaths.

Summary: There is limited knowledge about the role of selenoprotein P, the main selenium transporter, in the central nervous system and cognitive function. This study conducted a prospective cohort study to assess the relation between selenoprotein P concentrations in serum and cerebrospinal fluid and dementia incidence. The study found a positive non-linear association between higher concentrations of selenoprotein P and dementia risk, suggesting that selenoprotein P may predict progression of mild cognitive impairment to dementia.

Summary: This cohort study examined the association between non-traumatic subdural hematoma and cancer risk. The results showed that the risk of a new cancer diagnosis was clearly increased in patients with non-traumatic subdural hematoma during the first year of follow-up. However, the absolute risk was low, thus limiting the clinical relevance of early cancer detection in these patients.

Summary: This study aims to find a nutritionally adequate and healthy diet that minimizes the deviation from the average observed diet of Danish adults while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 31%. The optimized diet includes more grains, nuts, and healthy fats, while reducing the intake of cheese, meat, and beverages. It is closer to the average Danish diet compared to the Danish plant-rich diet. This study provides a more acceptable and sustainable dietary option to facilitate the transition towards healthier and more sustainable diets in the Danish population.

Summary: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we examined the relationship between fluoride exposure and skeletal fluorosis (SF) using a novel statistical methodology. Our analysis indicates a significant association between fluoride exposure and SF occurrence, with higher levels of fluoride increasing the risk of developing moderate-severe forms of the disease.

Summary: Despite having a similar incidence to the general population, people with mental disorders show increased mortality due to colorectal cancer. A population-based cohort study in Denmark evaluated the participation of people with mental disorders in organised colorectal cancer screening. Results showed that individuals with mild or moderate mental disorders had lower participation rates, more positive screening results, and lower adherence to and completeness of follow-up colonoscopy compared to those without mental disorders. Encouragement and support from healthcare professionals are important for improving cancer screening participation among patients with mental disorders.
