Background: Although the global prevalence of food allergies has been reported as increasing, its study is still largely confined to children and young adults. Nevertheless, several age-related factors (e.g., gastrointestinal changes, inflammation, and immunosenescence), responsible for the so-called ‘anorexia of aging’, may potentially mask, mediate, and/or enhance food allergies symptoms in older people. Although still neglected, the topic is critical for older persons who might be exposed to the risk of nutritional deficiencies and undernutrition if the primary and safest strategy for the food allergies management (i.e., allergen avoidance) is inappropriately conducted. Aim: To describe the protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at estimating the prevalence of food allergies in older people. Methods: The literature search will consider multiple databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Search dates will be from the inception. Studies reporting the prevalence of food allergies in individuals aged 60 years and older will be considered. Only English-language studies will be included. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists for Prevalence and Cohort Studies will be used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines will be followed in the reporting. This protocol is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023445399). Given the expected clinical and methodological heterogeneity among the primary studies, meta-analyses will be performed using a random-effect model. Results: Not applicable. Conclusions: The present article describes the protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of food allergies in older people.

Authors:Pegah Heidarian, Amir Jalali, Ali Shirzadi, Romina Jalali, Ebrahim Ezzati; Amir Jalali, Ali Shirzadi, Romina Jalali, Ebrahim Ezzati Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. Background: Evidence increasingly supports the association of gout with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Studies have indicated that the prevalence of MetS among patients with gout ranges from 17 to over 70 percent. Aim: The purpose of this study was to establish the global prevalence of MetS in patients diagnosed with gout. Methods: To obtain studies related to the title, we systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Science-Direct, and Google Scholar search engine to find all relevant articles that were published until the end of November 2023. Obtain and carry out the necessary evaluations. The I2 index was used to examine the heterogeneity of studies and the Random Effects model was used to analyze the data. Results: Following evaluation, we discovered 19 studies (23 findings), revealing an overall prevalence of MetS in gout patients as 46.8% (95% CI: 38.6–55.2%). On a regional level, subgroup analysis indicated the highest prevalence of MetS was in the American continent, with a rate of 60.6% (95% CI: 44.8–74.5%). In terms of the tool used for MetS measurement, the subgroup analysis showed the maximum prevalence rate of 54.6% was associated with the International Diabetes Federation criteria tool. Conclusion: The results of this research showed that MetS is common among gout patients; therefore, policymakers should reduce the consequences and costs of this condition by focusing on these patients and performing appropriate and timely treatment and training.

Authors:Natalie Seiler, Benjamin Ziegeler, Natalie Sacco, Andrew W Teh, Karen Gwee; Benjamin Ziegeler, Natalie Sacco, Andrew W Teh, Karen Gwee Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. Background: Postural tachycardia has been observed as a sign of malnutrition in eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa. However, there is limited information regarding other contributors to postural tachycardia in this population. Aim: This study aimed to determine the following among patients admitted to the Eating Disorders Unit (EDU) at a metropolitan tertiary hospital in Victoria, Australia: (a) the prevalence of postural tachycardia among eating disorder inpatients, and (b) the associated demographic and clinical features. Methods: Retrospective review of patient files was undertaken for inpatients aged 18–65 years with an eating disorder who resided within the Body Image & Eating Disorders Treatment & Recovery Service catchment area and were admitted to EDU between January 01, 2021 and October 30, 2023. Logistics regression was used for statistical analysis. Results: Among 177 admissions, 48 patients had postural tachycardia and this was at least partially attributed to malnutrition in 42 patients. Antipsychotics were significantly positively associated, and for every increase in one antipsychotic medication, there was an 89% increase in postural tachycardia diagnosis likelihood (B = 0.637) (Exp(‘B’)) = 1.890). Higher admission body mass index/weight, emergency medical reviews, ≥ 10 prior psychiatric admissions, and 1–3 prior medical admissions showed significant positive associations. Conclusions: Postural tachycardia is a multifactorial issue which contributes to medical instability and is associated with antipsychotic medications and a history of multiple medical and psychiatric admissions.

Authors:Anna Kitunen, Julia Carins, Sharyn Rundle-Thiele; Julia Carins, Sharyn Rundle-ThieleSocial Marketing @ Griffith, 5723Griffith University, Nathan, Australia Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. Background: The increasing levels of overweight and obesity are negatively impacting the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. Whilst individual factors are important, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is partly caused by several social and environmental factors that can potentially be modified. A limited number of studies apply a broader theoretical lens to expand the focus beyond individual factors targeted for change. Furthermore, many interventions take a one-size-fits-all approach, which overlooks the differences between subgroups of the population, such as gender, which has a significant impact on eating habits. Aim: This study aims to identify avenues to increase healthy eating by accommodating a wider theory-based socio-ecological viewpoint for change. Additionally, the theory-based socio-ecological lens was applied to identify if segments can be revealed, enabling tailored strategies to be developed to better meet the needs of segments. Methods: A male-dominated sample of n = 3044 Australians was sourced through CINT an online consumer panel provider. Participation was anonymous and voluntary, and consent to participate was indicated by the completion of the survey. Results: Three segments were identified with Socio-Economic Index For Individuals, being the most influential variable differentiating the segments. The most socio-economically advantaged segment (M = 3.7, SD = 0.7) had the highest diet quality score (79.7) while the least advantaged (M = 0.3, SD = 1.4) scored the lowest (67.1). Conclusion: This study confirms the suitability and usefulness of theory-driven segmentation in the development of eating behaviour programs for Australian adults. More effective interventions are required given overweight and obesity levels among this population are increasing.

Background: Few studies have explored the relationship between constipation and not eating enough to feel satiety. Aim: The study aims to examine the association between constipation and not eating enough to feel satiety. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 189 children 3 to 6 years of age. Constipation was defined as two or fewer defecations per week. To assess the satiety of children, mothers were asked, “Does your child eat until he/she is full every day'” The response options were as follows: “eats every day,” “eats occasionally,” “neither eats every day nor eats occasionally,” “does not eat much,” or “does not eat at all.” “Eats every day” was defined as eating enough to feel satiety. The other four responses were defined as not eating enough to feel satiety. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using a logistic regression analysis. Results: Thirty-nine (20.6%) children had constipation and 112 (59.3%) children did not eat enough to feel satiety. The association between constipation and not eating enough to feel satiety was significant. The crude OR of constipation for children who did not eat enough to feel satiety was 2.25 (95% CI 1.02–4.96). After adjusting for sex and age, the OR was 2.15 (95% CI 1.01–4.98). After further adjustment for underweight and overweight, the OR was 2.11 (95% CI 0.94–4.76). Conclusion: Not eating enough to feel satiety was associated with constipation independent of sex and age.

Authors:Cynthia Sau Chun Yip; Tuen Mun, Hong Kong Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. Background: Obesity is a risk factor for leading causes of death. Aim: This study investigated the associations of obesity with demographic and lifestyle factors among adults aged 18–64 in Hong Kong. Methods: The study uses data (n = 24,855) from the government online database. It uses T-tests to compare mean values for body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and weight-to-height ratio obese; analysis of variance for not-obese, BMI-obese-only, central-obese, and BMI + central-obese; Pearson chi-square tests for categorical variables; and multinomial logistic regression to obtain the odd ratios. It uses IBM SPSS version 26 to conduct all analyses, and at a 95% confidence level. Results: The analyses show that the risks of central-obese, and BMI + central-obese increase by 4%, and 4%/year of age, respectively. Females have 60%, 38%, and 60% lower risks of BMI-obese-only, central-obese, and BMI + central-obese, respectively, and people with tertiary education have 28%, 20%, and 20% lower risks, respectively. Employed people have a 40% higher risk of BMI-obese-only when compared with the unemployed; students have a 46% lower risk of BMI + central-obese and home-makers have a 38% higher risk. The risk of central-obese decreases by 14%/10 min/day of moderate physical activity, but could be different among females, and vigorous physical activity yielded mixed results. The risk of BMI + central-obese decreases by 9%/day/week of vegetable intake. Conclusions: Obesity is associated with multiple demographic and lifestyle factors. Keep doing vigorous and moderate physical activity but state alert to obesity risk factors, and frequent vegetable intake are recommended. Lifelong learning and continuing education could be an effective strategy to combat obesity. Citation: Nutrition and Health PubDate: 2025-02-04T08:05:52Z DOI: 10.1177/02601060241303630

BackgroundAlthough caffeine is the most studied ergogenic aid, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of caffeine supplementation among women in different phases of the menstrual cycle (MC).AimTo verify the effect of caffeine supplementation and the MC phase on the performance of a 5 km cycling time trial of female exercise practitioners (FEP).MethodsThis was a parallel, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a sample of women aged 18–35 years, all with regular MC. The caffeine (CAFG) and placebo (PLAG) groups performed the exercise test during the late follicular phase and mid-luteal phase. These time points were individually assessed according to each woman's MC. On the test day, they were instructed to intake a standardized meal. Subsequently, 30 min following the meal, volunteers consumed caffeine (6 mg·kg−1) or placebo. One hour following caffeine intake, the exercise protocol started. The participants were instructed to perform an all-out 5-km cycling time trial.ResultsTwenty-one women with a mean age of 26.6 years (PLAG, n = 10; 26.7 y; CAFG, n = 11; 26.5 y) were evaluated. The mean test duration was approximately 10-min, with no effect of the MC phase (F = 0.410; p = 0.532), caffeine supplementation (F = 2.23; p = 0.156), or interaction (F = 0.298; p = 0.593). Likewise, we did not verify the effect of the MC phase (F = 0.249; p = 0.625), caffeine supplementation (F = 2.35; p = 0.146), or interaction (F = 0.585; p = 0.456) on the mean power.ConclusionNeither caffeine supplementation nor the different MC phases had an impact on the 5-km cycling TT performance of FEP.

Nisha1Department of Audiology, 58893All India Institute of Speech Hearing, Mysore, India Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. Background: A nutritious diet is crucial for good health and cognitive function, including working memory (WM). Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins found in whole foods have been linked to improved WM. Examining the impact of dietary habits on WM in women, who face hormonal and health-related challenges, is important. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of nutrition on WM in women with good and poor dietary habits. Methods: A total of 60 female participants in the age range of 20–30 years were included in the study. Participants were divided according to dietary habits into two groups of 30 each: group 1 with good and group 2 with poor food habits. This categorization was based on their scores on Adolescent Food Habits Checklist (AFHC). Auditory WM was evaluated across multiple tasks—forward digit span, backward digit span, ascending and descending digit span, 3n running span, and 3n-back digit to all participants. Results: Results of Mann–Whitney U test showed that women with good food habits had significantly better backward digit span (/Z/ = 0.009, p Citation: Nutrition and Health PubDate: 2025-01-27T06:32:43Z DOI: 10.1177/02601060241312310

Background: NOVA is a food classification system that classifies foods according to the scope and purpose of food processing, rather than nutrients. Asthma is usually characterized by chronic inflammation and respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, cough, and variable expiratory airflow limitation. According to the NOVA food classification system, consumption of ultraprocessed foods (UPF) can affect asthma symptoms. Aim: In this study, the relationship between UPF consumption and pulmonary function test (PFT) results of asthma patients in adults aged 18 to 65 was investigated using biochemical parameters. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study and, was conducted with 339 asthmatic participants diagnosed with asthma and receiving medical treatment. The participants' consumption of UPF was determined using a food frequency questionnaire. The evaluation of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) (L/s) and forced vital capacity (FVC) (L/s) in the respiratory function tests was based on the percentage of the measured and expected values. Results: Although no significant relationship was found between % FEV1 expected value and UPF consumption (P > 0.05), it was concluded that % FVC expected and % FEV1/FVC values decreased with increasing UPF consumption (P Citation: Nutrition and Health PubDate: 2025-01-24T08:33:07Z DOI: 10.1177/02601060241309708

Background: Medically tailored meals (MTMs) are personalized meals designed to meet the therapeutic needs of patients with chronic diseases. Most MTM programs rely on philanthropic support, and the optimal parameters for these programs are not well-defined. Aim: To assess the feasibility of an MTM program developed by a major healthcare institution using internal investments and an online platform for meal ordering. Methods: Single-arm prospective cohort feasibility MTM project implemented between August 2021 and June 2022. Each participant received 14 frozen meals per week over 3 months via a courier system. Participants answered several questionnaires and healthcare utilization was abstracted from electronic medical records up to 6 months post-intervention. Results: Sixty participants were enrolled. Emergency department (ED) visits and inpatient days significantly decreased in the 180 days post-intervention compared to the 180 days pre-intervention (ED visits: 1.2 vs 1.7, P = 0.005; inpatient days: 3.2 vs 5.1, P = 0.02). Participants saved an average of $12,046 in healthcare costs. Despite challenges with implementation, including upfront costs and sustainability, client and service outcomes were highly favorable. Patients were overwhelmingly satisfied with the program, although there was no quantitative improvement in global mental health (GMH) or global physical health (GPH) scores. Conclusion: MTM programs run by healthcare institutions can enhance patient satisfaction, reduce hospital visits, and lower healthcare costs, particularly for vulnerable populations. Providing healthy, frozen meals over an extended period is feasible, though it requires significant initial investment. Large healthcare institutions should consider implementing such programs to prioritize primary prevention in the US healthcare system.

Authors:Urska Dobersek, Carl J Lavie, Edward Archer; Carl J Lavie, Edward Archer Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. BackgroundOver the past two decades, there has been an increase in the prevalence of psychological conditions, such as depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and body image disturbances. In concert with this trend, there was a substantial rise in the advocacy and practice of restrictive dietary patterns, such as veganism and vegetarianism. These parallel developments suggest a relation between diet and mental health, but to date, research has failed to offer clear answers on whether these associations are causal, coincidental, or more complex than superficial analyses suggest.AimGiven this context, the purpose of this commentary is to offer a consilient perspective on the role of vegan and vegetarian diets in mental health.MethodsWe performed a broad qualitative synthesis of the current literature on diet and mental health from sociologic and psychologic perspectives.ResultsSeveral empirically supported hypotheses were presented with equivocal support.ConclusionThe current evidence suggests that if a nutritionally adequate diet is consumed, the avoidance/consumption of meat and other animal foods will have no significant effects on physical and mental health.

BackgroundObservational studies propose associations between dietary factors and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the causal nature of these relationships remains unclear. This study aims to determine whether nutritional factors causally influence MS risk through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsSummary statistics for 15 common dietary factors were derived from the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) conducted by the Medical Research Council Integrated Epidemiology Unit (MRC-IEU). The GWAS data of MS were sourced from the International Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium (IMSGC), including 14,498 cases and 24,091 controls. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was utilized as the primary analytical approach to estimate causality, while Cochran's Q test assessed heterogeneity. MR-Egger (MRE) and MR-Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO) were employed to detect pleiotropy and conduct sensitivity analyses.ResultsWe executed univariable- and multivariable-adjusted MR analyses, incorporating adjustments for past tobacco smoking, particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5) and moderate to vigorous physical activity. The univariable Mendelian randomization (UVMR) analysis elucidated potential causal relationships concerning the risk of MS for only two dietary factors: pork intake (odds ratio [OR] = 6.764, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.772–25.814, p = 0.005 by IVW) and fish/liver oil dietary supplements (OR = 0.119, 95%CI: 0.032–0.444, p = 0.002 by IVW). In the multivariate Mendelian randomization (MVMR) analysis, the significant causal relationship between pork intake and MS remained robust even after adjusting for potential confounders. Conversely, after adjusting for these confounders, the initially observed causal associations between fish/liver oil dietary supplements and MS ceased to be statistically significant.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that pork intake could increase the risk of MS. Other nutritional factors analyzed in this study did not exhibit significant correlations with MS. Citation: Nutrition and Health PubDate: 2025-01-22T09:39:33Z DOI: 10.1177/02601060241308918

Authors:Olivia Joyce Luther, Eric West; Eric West17598Nutrition Dietetics, Arkansas State University, State University, AR, USA Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. The prevalence of disordered eating habits in college-aged females is at an all-time high. This population is more likely to experience issues with body image and poor eating behaviors due to the pressure of being a collegiate athlete. The objective of this qualitative study aimed to determine the prevalence of disordered eating habits in female collegiate athletes and determine if playing a sport puts them at risk of harmful behaviors. An anonymous survey was sent out to participants of various sports, asking them to answer a 10-question survey about eating habits and compensatory behaviors such as excessive exercise and caloric restriction. Results indicated that 75% of those surveyed said playing a collegiate sport negatively impacts their relationship with food, and 71% said playing a sport negatively impacts their body image. While some female athletes do not meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder, a large portion still displays disordered eating behaviors, which can be detrimental to their overall well-being. It is essential for the safety of these athletes that staff members, health professionals, and the athletes themselves are aware of these circumstances and can prevent them from progressing into fully diagnosed eating disorders.

Authors:Helen Lloyd, Naomi Burn, Sarah Allison, Cecile Jones, John Derek Franklin; Naomi Burn, Sarah Allison, Cecile Jones, John Derek Franklin Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. Background: Fragility fractures of the hip are a common injury in England. Meeting post-operative resting energy expenditure (REE) needs are fundamental to recovery from trauma that with greater nutritional intake, post-operative complications and length of stay can be reduced. However, dietary intake can be overlooked when the goal is prompt surgery to reduce pain and lower the risks of mortality at 30 days and 1 year. Aims: The primary aim of this study is to observe if post-operative dietary energy intake (kJ/kcal) of older adult hip fracture patients meets their post-operative REE needs to mobilise post-surgery. Secondly, we aim to explore if there is a relationship between length of stay, comorbidity and post-operative complications in relation to dietary intake. Methods and analysis: Using a weighed food method, all food and fluid intake from the day of surgery until post-operative day three inclusive will be recorded for a cohort of 30 older adult hip fracture patients. Dietary intake per day will be compared against REE and macronutrient requirements. Baseline sociodemographic and medical history data will be obtained, along with admission data such as malnutrition screening and type of fracture. Regression analysis will be used to explore associations between dietary intake, post-operative complications and length of stay where indicated and to identify if there are areas for further dietary development in this specific patient group. Ethics and dissemination: The Health Research Authority approved this study (REC 24/NE/0034). Findings will be published in peer-reviewed, scientific journals and presented at academic conferences.

Authors:Zehra Margot Çelik, Hatice Merve Bayram; Hatice Merve Bayram Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. BackgroundDespite the significant health risks associated with it, diabulimia, which involves the omission of insulin for the purpose of weight control in individuals with type 1 diabetes, remains underrecognized.AimThis study assessed diabulimia knowledge in third- and fourth-year nutrition and dietetics students and its relationship with health literacy.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 231 students (90.5% female) in the third (38.5%) and fourth (61.5%) years of the Nutrition and Dietetics Departments at two universities and was carried out between June and July 2024. A questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, Diabulimia Knowledge Level Scale (DKLS) and Turkish Health Literacy Scale (THLS-32) was administered to the students in person. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 28.0.ResultsDKLS scores of third-year students were lower than those of the fourth-year students (p = 0.014). Similarly, THLS-32 scores were higher in fourth-year students (p = 0.012). However, there was no statistical significance in DKLS, THLS-32 scores and THLS-32 classification between the universities (p = 0.307, p = 0.137, and p = 0.491, respectively). No relationship between age, DKLS and THLS-32 was found.ConclusionFourth-year students demonstrated higher diabulimia knowledge and health literacy scores, highlighting the impact of advanced education. However, no differences were found between the universities. These findings underscore the need for further research to explore the factors contributing to knowledge and health literacy development, including curriculum design, teaching methods, and clinical training. Additionally, expanding this investigation to include other healthcare professionals could provide a broader perspective of existing gaps in diabulimia awareness and health literacy.

BackgroundStressors associated with the ongoing ethnic tensions may be the drivers of more frequent night eating, and subsequently, a higher body mass index.AimTo examine the association of night eating with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference among health sciences students in Northern Kosovo.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out at the University of Prishtina in Kosovska Mitrovica from November 2018 to March 2019. Participants completed a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ), the Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Body weight, height, and waist circumference were measured by the research team.ResultsThe study sample consisted of 534 students. The night eating score was 14.4 ± 4.5 out of 52 (prevalence of night eating syndrome was 3.0%). Overall, the average BMI was 23.7 ± 4.5 kg/m2 (27.2% of students were overweight and 7.5% were obese). Moderate level of stress as measured by the PSS was observed 61.8% and high level of stress was recorded among 5.8%. Also, 9.2% students reported moderate BAI score and 6.0% students reported severe BAI score. After adjustment for socio-demographic characteristics, health behaviors, sleep, stress and anxiety levels, no association of night eating with BMI and waist circumference was observed.ConclusionThese findings showed that there is an absence of the association between night eating, BMI and waist circumference among students who live in a post-conflict setting. There may be other factors that mediate the relationship between food intake at night and body mass index. Citation: Nutrition and Health PubDate: 2025-01-20T05:41:32Z DOI: 10.1177/02601060241309991

BackgroundMaternal time constraints lead to a lack of vegetable provision to children. Mothers use homemade meal strategies under time constraints; however, these strategies have not been well investigated.AimThis study aimed to classify the homemade meal strategies used by mothers under time constraints and to examine their association with the provision of vegetable dishes.MethodsWe conducted an online cross-sectional survey of 400 mothers of preschool children in Japan. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to classify homemade meal strategies. The Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal–Wallis test were used to compare the subscale scores by the demographic characteristics and provision of vegetable dishes, and logistic regression was used to predict the provision of vegetable dishes based on the subscales and adjusted for demographic characteristics.ResultsA 13-item scale comprising three subscales (“planning meals and shopping ahead,” “use of convenience foods,” and “batch cooking”) was developed. Full-time employed mothers had higher scores for “use of convenience foods” and “batch cooking” than did unemployed mothers. “Batch cooking” was positively related to the provision of vegetable dishes more than seven times a week after adjusting for maternal demographic characteristics, whereas “use of convenience foods” was negatively related. “Planning meals and shopping ahead” was not associated with the provision of vegetable dishes.ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that batch cooking is a recommended strategy under time constraints and that education on nutritional considerations when using convenience foods is required.

Authors:Savita Devi, Rajeev Kapila, Suman Kapila; Rajeev Kapila, Suman Kapila Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. BackgroundRuminant milk is a very complex table food and naturally encrypted with different components possessing various health-promoting characteristics.AimIn the present study, we focused on breed-wise compositional difference in milk including various components and release of fatty acids and peptides during digestion.MethodsFirst, milk samples were analysed using lactoscan LW milk analyser, MALDI-TOF and gas chromatography. In addition, in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion of milk was performed to determine the fatty acid and peptide concentration.ResultsPercentage fat was significantly less in Karan Fries (KF) and Holstein Friesian (HF) milk compared to Sahiwal (SW), Tharparkar (TP), Gir (GIR) and Karan Swiss (KS). The mean conductivity displayed the healthy status in SW, TP, GIR, KF and HF milk. The protein was significantly higher in KF milk compared to SW, TP, GIR and HF milk. KS milk possessed the highest number of peptides followed by HF, SW, TP, GIR and KF milk. The fatty acid compositional difference was primarily observed in saturated fatty acids including the C4:0, C21:0 and also w6 linoleic acid. On the basis of peptide number of MALDI-TOF, milk from SW and KS was selected for digestion in in vitro to check the availability of fatty acids and peptides in the intestine. There was more release of fatty acids in SW milk and more peptide from KS milk in intestinal conditions. Therefore, the difference in composition exists based on protein and fat components in indigenous and crossbred cows’ milk.ConclusionsThe breed-wise difference in composition of milk is important to study as it not only reflected the nutritional value and various biological activities, but also emphasis on specific proteomic and lipidomic of milk that eventually can be used as criteria for selection of milk.

Authors:Rebecca F. Slykerman, Naomi Davies, Robert Donohoe; Naomi Davies, Robert Donohoe1Department of Psychological Medicine, 1415The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. BackgroundIncreasing interest in probiotics for mental health has led to products marketed to consumers claiming psychological benefits. This study aimed to identify mental health claims on probiotic supplements and to provide a narrative review of the scientific evidence to support these claims.MethodsProbiotic supplements with mental health claims on the product label were identified. A search of the scientific literature was performed using Google Scholar, PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Studies were included if the primary outcome was mental health or a biomarker of mental health, if they investigated the exact probiotic strain or combination of strains as present in the product, and if the study was a trial of probiotics conducted in either humans or animals. Included studies were assessed for risk of bias.ResultsFourteen probiotic products with mental health claims were identified containing five different strains or strain combinations. Eighteen studies relevant to the products and investigating mental health outcomes met inclusion criteria. Ten studies investigated the same combination of probiotics and provided evidence to support the claims made. Statistically significant results were not universally present for all products.ConclusionThe amount and quality of evidence to support claims of mental health benefits made on probiotic products is variable. The results support the need for a grading system to facilitate informed consumer decision-making when choosing a probiotic supplement to support mental health.

Authors:Bianda Aulia, Meike Mayasari, Rizna Notarianti, Yosephin Anandati Pranoto; Meike Mayasari, Rizna Notarianti, Yosephin Anandati Pranoto Abstract: Nutrition and Health, Ahead of Print. BackgroundNutrition assessment is the first step of the nutrition care process (NCP), which includes investigating physical status and malnutrition signs. With the widespread digitalization of healthcare in Indonesia, including telehealth in dietetic practice (telenutrition), evidence is required to address the barriers and improve the current practice of conducting remote physical assessments.AimThis study aimed to explore the adaptation of nutrition-focused physical examination (NFPE) using telenutrition in Indonesia.MethodsThis qualitative study recruited Indonesian registered dietitians (RD) with experience in performing NCP using video conferences, phone calls, or other remote/online platforms. The search for participants was conducted until the information was considered sufficient. Data were collected using semistructured in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.ResultsEleven RDs were interviewed via video conference. Three themes emerged from the analysis: (1) feasibility and practicality, (2) barriers, and (3) adaptations and pre-requisites of remote physical assessment. Remote physical assessment was considered not practical by the majority. Barriers were categorized into technological challenges, lack of NFPE training and practice, and challenges in involving patients. Pre-appointment preparations, guiding the patients through video calls, or asking patients to send images of their bodies are adaptations needed for remote physical assessment.ConclusionChallenges in remote physical assessment could be minimized by establishing protocols to deliver standardized care and ensure session efficiency. Additionally, strengthening the implementation and training of NFPE for dietitians in Indonesia is of paramount importance.

Study purposeThis paper aims to explore the effectiveness of ChatGPT in facilitating learning for medical students with special educational needs (SEN) while acknowledging and addressing the challenges that SEN students may encounter in utilizing this technology.MethodsThis cross-sectional survey study assessed ChatGPT's efficacy in supporting medical students with SEN across three Saudi Arabian universities. Utilizing purposive and convenience sampling, a questionnaire was administered to 283 SEN students. Statistical analyses, including t-tests and ANOVA, were conducted to evaluate perceptions of ChatGPT's effectiveness, considering demographic factors and impairment types.ResultsNotable differences were observed in perceptions of ChatGPT's effectiveness by impairment type and education level. Statistically significant differences were observed among the participants with different types of impairments in relation to flexibility in communication (p = .01), scaffolding and guided practice (p = .0435), immediate feedback and reinforcement (p = .0334), visual and audio support (p = .0244), and simplified learning (p = .002) factors. For instance, individuals with communication and interaction impairments rated ChatGPT's support significantly higher for simplified learning (M = 4.39, p = .002) and visual/audio support (M = 4.08, p = .024) compared to other impairments. Education level significantly influenced perceptions across all support factors (p Citation: Nutrition and Health PubDate: 2025-01-17T03:38:38Z DOI: 10.1177/02601060241307770

Background: Childhood obesity is a global public health concern associated with various health risks, including disrupted sleep patterns. Aim: This study investigated the effects of kiwifruit consumption and small-sided soccer games (SSSG) over 4 weeks on sleep patterns in overweight/obese children with sleep problems. Methods: Thirty-six participants, aged 8 to 12 years with a body mass index above the 85th percentile, were randomly assigned to one of three groups: SSSG only (n = 12), SSSG-kiwifruit (SSSG-K, n = 12), or control (CG, n = 12). Sleep patterns were monitor 1 week before, and during the first and last 2 weeks of the intervention. The CG group maintained their usual routines without structured physical activity. The SSSG and SSSG-K groups, both engaged in SSSG type of training two to three times per week, with the SSSG-K group also consuming on a daily basis two kiwifruits 1 hour before bedtime. Results: In the final 2 weeks, the SSSG group demonstrated significant improvements in sleep efficiency (p = 0.03), sleep latency (p Citation: Nutrition and Health PubDate: 2025-01-13T08:50:15Z DOI: 10.1177/02601060241311385
