Summary: Studying human diet can help us find ways to treat or prevent chronic diseases. In this study, the authors discover the presence of nutritional redundancy in human diet and its association with cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. By examining the dietary intake data from different cohorts, the authors demonstrate that food intake varies across individuals and over time, while the nutritional intake remains fairly stable.

Summary: Metabolic surgery has been shown to effectively treat obesity, but there is limited research on nutritional evaluations after surgery in Chinese patients. In this retrospective study, we found that Chinese patients undergoing metabolic surgery experienced changes in their nutritional status. Premenopausal females had a higher incidence of anemia at 12 months post-surgery, and preoperative anemia increased the risk of postoperative anemia. Ferritin levels decreased and iron deficiency increased among premenopausal females. However, there were no significant changes in folate deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency throughout the study. Bone mineral density (BMD) significantly decreased from baseline to 12 months after surgery, but there were no new cases of osteopenia or osteoporosis. Nutrient supplements and long-term follow-up are necessary postoperation.

Summary: Psoriasis, an autoimmune chronic inflammatory skin condition, is influenced by genetic factors, immune disturbances, and environmental factors, especially the Western lifestyle and overall diet. Obesity is identified as a significant risk factor for psoriasis, aggravating the disease, while weight reduction can improve clinical outcomes. The connection between obesity and psoriasis lies in the pro-inflammatory effects of white adipose tissue, which is an important endocrine organ. This paper emphasizes the importance of nutrition strategies in psoriasis management.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of sarcopenia in a cohort of patients over 65 with musculoskeletal conditions. Associations between sarcopenia and alterations in nutritional status and Body Mass Index (BMI) were also examined. The results showed that 46.1% of the patients had overt sarcopenia, and 10.1% had severe sarcopenia. There were significant associations between sarcopenia and lower values of BMI and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Customized and multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs are needed for elderly patients with musculoskeletal concerns.

Summary: This study is a meta-analysis of two large prospective cohort studies and found that higher BMI is associated with an increased risk of obesity-related cancer among European adults, regardless of cardiovascular diseases or type 2 diabetes. Additionally, there is an additive interaction between obesity and cardiovascular diseases, suggesting that obesity prevention measures may have a greater impact on reducing cancer risk in populations with cardiovascular diseases.

Summary: This research investigates the association between dental caries trajectory and rs307355 (TAS1R3) and rs35874116 (TAS1R2), as well as the epistatic association between rs307355 (TAS1R3) and rs35874116 (TAS1R2). A representative sample of 5,914 individuals from the 1982 Pelotas birth cohort was prospectively studied. Group-based trajectory modeling identified different groups with similar dental caries trajectories throughout life. Genetic material was collected for genotyping rs307355 (TAS1R3) and rs35874116 (TAS1R2). The study found that the genotype and allele of rs307355 (TAS1R3) were positively associated with the trajectory of decayed and missing dental components. Epistatic interaction between rs307355 and rs35874116 may increase the decayed caries trajectory.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the influence of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in tooth mineral tissue genes on dental caries trajectory and the potential gene-gene interaction. A representative sample of 5,914 births from the 1982 Pelotas birth cohort study was prospectively investigated. The findings suggest that certain SNPs in tooth mineral tissue genes are associated with dental caries trajectory and epistatic interactions, expanding the understanding of individual caries experience. The results highlight the clinical significance of SNPs in the pathway of tooth mineral tissue genes in the development of dental caries throughout the lifespan.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between birth conditions, nutritional status, childhood growth, and cardiometabolic risk factors at 30 years of age. The researchers also examined whether body mass index (BMI) at 30 years old mediated the relationship between childhood weight gain and cardiometabolic risk factors. The findings suggest that rapid relative weight gain after 2 years of age may have long-term consequences on the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.
