Summary: The aging population in Guinea is a concern for public health in the coming years, and the nutritional status of older individuals is not well known. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of older people in the general population of Guinea and found regional differences in the prevalence of undernutrition and obesity. It suggests that screening and management of the health and nutritional status of older adults should be a national priority, tailored to each region.

Summary: This study aims to identify historical trends in nutrition and key drivers of change in different regions of Pakistan. Results showed a significant reduction in stunted growth in Balochistan and the highest progress for underweight children in Punjab. Maternal nutritional status and household wealth were found to have a more pronounced impact on reducing child malnutrition. It is recommended to implement multidimensional nutrition policies and region-specific programs for more effective outcomes.

Summary: Undernutrition and inflammatory processes are predictors of early mortality in the elderly, and there is a need for rapid and accurate diagnosis. SIRT1 has shown potential as a marker for undernutrition, and this article summarizes the available studies on its association with undernutrition in older people. The literature suggests that low SIRT1 levels in the blood of older individuals may be linked to increased risk of severe undernutrition associated with inflammation and systemic metabolic changes, rather than physiological aging processes.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the level of undernutrition and identify factors associated with undernutrition among pregnant women attending public health facilities in the East Shoa Zone, Central Ethiopia. The findings revealed that higher wealth index, nutritional counseling, and women's decision-making power were inversely associated with undernutrition among pregnant women.

Summary: This review summarizes the main pancreatic diseases from a nutritional perspective, emphasizing the importance of nutrition in the management of these diseases. Early identification of malnutrition is crucial in maintaining adequate nutritional status in patients with acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. Following a proper diet and receiving nutritional counseling are essential for treating pancreatic diseases. Oral nutritional supplements, fat-soluble vitamins, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition may be necessary depending on the specific condition. Pancreatic enzyme therapy plays a key role in managing patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Improving the nutritional status and quality of life through nutrition can have a positive impact on patients with pancreatic diseases, including potentially improving life expectancy in pancreatic cancer patients. Therefore, nutrition should be given the importance it deserves.

Summary: Transcriptomics and bioinformatics were used to study the impact of undernutrition and pregnancy on uterine immune system and remodeling. Results showed that pregnancy altered gene expression, particularly immune system and uterine remodeling genes, while undernutrition attenuated these effects.

Summary: Hepatic transcriptome analysis revealed that maternal undernutrition promoted protein digestion and absorption in fetal livers, while it restricted carbohydrate metabolism and citric acid cycle in the livers of kid goats after realimentation. The results suggest that maternal undernutrition during mid-gestation induces hepatic metabolism programming in kid goats at a molecular level.
