The Premium Grains for Livestock Program (PGLP) represents a coordinated national effort to: (i) understand the factors determining nutritional value of grains for animals; (ii) improve nutritional value through processing, breeding and storage; (iii) develop rapid methods for measuring determinants of grain quality; and (iv) develop computer programs to predict animal performance and economic ...

This study examined the association between nutritional awareness and diet quality, as indicated by energy density, dietary diversity and adequacy to achieve dietary recommendations, while considering the potentially important role of socioeconomic status (SES). Data were derived from 1351 subjects, aged 18-69 years and enrolled in the ORISCAV-LUX study. Energy density score (EDS), dietary dive...

OBJECTIVE Promotion of healthy eating can no longer be postponed as a priority, given the alarming growth rate of chronic degenerative diseases in Western countries. We elaborated a nutrieconomic model to assess and identify the most nutritious and affordable food choices. DESIGN Seventy-one food items representing the main food categories were included and their nationally representative pri...

Nutritional status of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important since it affects growth and development. This study was to investigate overall diet quality measured by nutrient intake adequacy, nutrient density, and several dietary habits in children with CKD and its relationship with clinical parameters according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Assessment of nutritional stat...

BACKGROUND Scleroderma (SSc) gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms may affect nutritional status and patients' quality of life. OBJECTIVE To study prevalence of GI symptoms and its relationship to nutritional profile and quality of life of patients with SSc. METHODS Fifty two SSc patients and 51 controls were studied for BMI (body mass index), dietary recall, major GI symptoms and quality of life ...

Cardiovascular risk management is an integral part of treatment in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), and requires pharmacological as well as nutritional management. We hypothesize that a systematic assessment of both pharmacological and nutritional management can identify targets for the improvement of treatment quality. Therefore, we analysed blood pressure (BP) management in the DIAbetes and L...

Background: Dietary patterns are the quantities, proportions, variety or combinations of different foods and beverages in diets, and the frequency with which they are habitually consumed. In Ethiopia, information on the dietary patterns and association of the proxies of dietary adequacy and quality with nutritional outcomes is scarce. The aims of this paper were to assess the interactions betwe...

The first few months of life is the most vulnerable period for fish and their optimal hatching time with zooplankton prey is favored by natural selection. Traditionally, however, prey abundance (i.e., zooplankton density) has been considered important, whereas prey nutritional composition has been largely neglected in natural settings. High-quality zooplankton, rich in both essential amino acid...
