Summary: Dairy intake appears to have a protective effect on some cardiovascular risk factors, particularly reducing total cholesterol, waist circumference, and increasing HDL cholesterol. However, it can also lead to increases in LDL and triglycerides, although these changes are minimal. The effect of dairy on serum lipids varies depending on the type of dairy product used, and compared to other animal sources of SFA, dairy products seem to improve metabolic parameters.

Summary: The study shows that fructose intake leads to increased blood lipids, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress, as well as elevated monounsaturated fatty acid levels in adipose tissue. However, supplementation with DHA can reduce oxidative stress and improve adiponectin levels.

Summary: This study used objective sleep characteristics to identify sleep clusters in adolescents and examined their associations with cardiometabolic health. Five sleep clusters were identified, and the study found that the prolonged sleep latency cluster was associated with higher fat mass index (FMI), while the sleep irregularity and variability cluster was specifically linked to elevated triglycerides in male individuals.

Summary: Dietary fatty acids play crucial roles in metabolic diseases and inflammation, with diverse effects on miRNA expression. Recent studies have shown that high fat ketogenic diets do not increase saturated fat content in the serum and are not associated with increased inflammation. Further research is needed to explore the complex interactions and potential therapeutic applications of DFAs.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between egg intake and 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other cardiometabolic risk factors. The findings showed that moderate egg consumption was associated with a lower risk of CVD, but this association became non-significant when adjusted for total saturated fatty acid intake.

Summary: Accumulating evidence suggests that the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in regulating body weight, glucose and lipid metabolism, and inflammatory processes. Differences in baseline gut microbiota composition and functionality may contribute to varying responses to dietary interventions. However, the relationship between an individual's diet, gut microbiome, and host metabolism is complex, presenting challenges for targeted dietary guidelines.

Summary: This study found that higher dietary intakes of trans fatty acids, especially industrial trans fatty acids, were associated with an increased risk of breast cancer among over 318,000 women. This association was consistent across menopausal status, body mass index, and breast cancer subtypes. Further mechanistic studies are needed to explore the underlying biological pathways.

Summary: Accumulating evidence suggests that dietary intake is linked to inflammatory processes in the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) can be used to assess an individual's nutritional inflammatory capacities and risks for NCD development. Novel approaches, such as the scaling-formula (SF) and scaling-formula with outlier detection (SFOD) methods, have been proposed to optimize the calculation of the DII for future epidemiological and clinical studies.

Summary: This study examined the association between birth weight and the muscle-bone unit using DXA parameters in Brazilian young healthy women from the NutriHS cohort study. The results suggested that birth weight is related to the muscle-bone unit, indicating a potential role of the intrauterine environment in musculoskeletal health.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: This study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with type 1 diabetes experienced decreased adherence to diabetes care, leading to an increase in HbA1c levels, BMI, impaired linear growth, and more hospitalizations. The shift to telemedicine as the main healthcare service also had significant effects on diabetes management.

Summary: The study found that the modified Controlling Nutritional Status system, which includes C-reactive protein as an inflammatory parameter, is more accurate than the traditional system in predicting the survival of patients with cancer cachexia. High Controlling Nutritional Status and modified Controlling Nutritional Status are both independent risk factors for survival and have a negative impact on survival in patients with advanced-stage cancers, such as esophagogastric and colorectal cancer.

Summary: This psychometric study proposed a scale for estimating the consumption of ultra processed foods using item response theory. The study used data from a representative sample of 2515 adolescents aged 18 and 19 from Brazilian Birth Cohorts Consortium. The findings demonstrated that the proposed scale can accurately estimate the consumption of ultra processed foods and is correlated with latent traits related to food consumption.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
