dental status may influence food intake. the aim of this review was to summarize the earlier investigations on the association between food intake and dental status. we searched the electronic databases of pubmed and the cochrane library for articles published until 30 february, 2012. to reach the related published articles, medical subject heading (mesh) terms of ‘oral health,’ ‘masticatory pe...

Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk for cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. Superimposed hypertension further increases the risk and is associated with increased dietary sodium intake. There are few data available on dietary sodium intake in type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to quantify dietary sodium intake in a cohort of self-referred patients with type 2 diab...

BACKGROUND Cadmium (Cd), a food-chain contaminant, is a significant health hazard. The kidney is one of the primary sites of injury after chronic Cd exposure. Kidney-based risk assessment establishes the urinary Cd threshold at 5.24 μg/g creatinine, and tolerable dietary intake of Cd at 62 μg/day per 70-kg person. However, cohort studies show that dietary Cd intake below a threshold limit and t...

Current evidence from randomised controlled trials on the effects of dietary fibre intake on breast cancer risk is inconsistent. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the effectiveness of dietary fibre intake in reducing breast cancer risk. We searched for prospective and case-control studies on dietary fibre intake and breast cancer risk in the English language through March 2016. Twenty-f...

Members of the genus Simonsiella, aerobic, multicellular filamentous gliding bacteria, were detected in swabbings from the palates of 32% of 212 human subjects free of gross oral pathologies. Nutritional evaluations for 142 of the subjects showed a significantly greater daily intake among 53 Simonsiella carriers for 13 dietary variables, including four fat components, but there was no significa...

Excessive dietary P intake alone can be deleterious to bone through increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, but adverse effects on bone increase when dietary Ca intake is low. In many countries, P intake is abundant, whereas Ca intake fails to meet recommendations; an optimal dietary Ca:P ratio is therefore difficult to achieve. Our objective was to investigate how habitual dietary Ca:P ...

Background: There is a striking lack of evidence about parents’/caregivers’ influence on their children’s dietary intake across Brazil and other middleand low-income countries. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the associations between adolescents’ dietary intake and home environment, family meals and parental support. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 14–18 years old adole...

The association of dietary fiber intake with colorectal cancer risk is established. However, the association may differ between cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. We evaluated this hypothesis in a large colonoscopy-based case-control study. Dietary fiber intakes were estimated by self-administered food frequency questionnaire. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate ORs a...

The aim of this study is to estimate dietary intake of benzoic acid and its salts through food additives in adult population of South East Serbia. Information on dietary intake among 620 adults (aged 18-65) was collected using a food frequency questionnaire, and 748 food samples were analyzed. The mean estimated intake of benzoic acid -0.32 mg/kg of body weight (bw) per day was below acceptable...

Dietary behaviour is an important lifestyle aspect and directly related to long-term health. We present an approach to detect eating and drinking intake cycles from body-worn sensors. Information derived from the sensors are considered as abstract activity events and a sequence modelling is applied utilising probabilistic context-free grammars. Different grammar models are discussed and applied...
