UNLABELLED Abstract Objective: Study groups from three age cohorts of 70-75 year-olds were investigated to search for possible correlations between dietary habits and auditory function. DESIGN A cross-sectional, epidemiological study. STUDY SAMPLE A total number of 524 people (275 women, 249 men) were recruited from three age cohorts. The study sample was representative of the general popul...

A factorial split plot 4 × 3 experiment was designed to examine and characterize the relationship among production of secondary metabolites (total phenolics, TP; total flavonoids, TF), carbohydrate content and photosynthesis of three varieties of the Malaysian medicinal herb Labisia pumila Benth. namely the varieties alata, pumila and lanceolata under CO(2) enrichment (1,200 µmol mol(-1)) combi...

conclusions we observed no significant differences between the two groups in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, except for hdl-c. considering the importance of overweight and obese women’s health, studies with longer follow-up periods are recommended in this respect. results the differences in lipid and carbohydrate parameters were not significant between the two groups, except for hdl-c (adjus...

Plant physiologists and others interested in the periodic accumulation and depletion of the reserve carbohydrates in plants have long recognized the need for a rapid method for the estimation of the readily available carbohydrate fraction. This is especially true in applied studies such as those concerned with the efficient management of pasturage or forage plants. Undoubtedly, many worth while...

An important goal of the athlete's everyday diet is to provide the muscle with substrates to fuel the training programme that will achieve optimal adaptation for performance enhancements. In reviewing the scientific literature on post-exercise glycogen storage since 1991, the following guidelines for the training diet are proposed. Athletes should aim to achieve carbohydrate intakes to meet the...

BACKGROUND Koreans eat rice, which is usually served in a rice bowl. We investigated the effect of a meal plan using small rice bowls on the total energy intake (TEI) and the marcronutrient intake in Korean men with type 2 diabetes. METHODS A total of 62 men with type 2 diabetes were divided by body mass index (BMI) (normal weight [NW], BMI<23 kg/m(2); overweight [OW], 23≤BMI<25 kg/m(2); obes...

BACKGROUND The relation between carbohydrate intake and risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) has not been fully explored in Asian populations known to have high-carbohydrate diets. OBJECTIVE We assessed whether intakes of total carbohydrates, different types of carbohydrates, and their food sources were associated with IHD mortality in a Chinese population. DESIGN We prospectively examined ...

Long-term safety of consuming low-carbohydrate diets (LCD) in Asian populations, whose carbohydrate intake is relatively high, is not known. In the present study, the association of LCD with CVD and total mortality was assessed using data obtained in the NIPPON DATA80 (National Integrated Project for Prospective Observation of Non-communicable Disease and Its Trends in the Aged 1980) during 29 ...

The dietary recommendations made for carbohydrate intake by many organizations/agencies have changed over time. Early recommendations were based on the need to ensure dietary sufficiency and focused on meeting micronutrient intake requirements. Because carbohydrate-containing foods are a rich source of micronutrients, starches, grains, fruits, and vegetables became the foundation of dietary gui...
