BACKGROUND Late adolescence to early adulthood is a period of lifestyle change and personal development which may influence dietary behaviour. Understanding dietary trajectories across this age range may help in targeting interventions appropriately. This scoping review aimed to assess how longitudinal change in diet is conceptualised and measured between the ages of 13 to 30. METHODS We sear...

Received 21 September 2017 Accepted 28 November 2017 In order to identify the effects of nutrients on gene expression and to assess the interactions between genes and nutrition by means of various cutting-edge technologies, the interdisciplinary branch ‘Nutrigenomics’ was created. Therefore, nutrigenomics corresponds to the use of knowledge and techniques of nutrition, genomics, transcriptomics...

BACKGROUND Whole-grain foods and cereal dietary fiber intake is associated with lower body weight. This may partly result from lower energy utilization of high-fiber diets. OBJECTIVE In the present study, the impact on ileal excretion of energy and macronutrients in response to a rye bread high-fiber diet compared to a refined wheat low-fiber diet was investigated. Furthermore, the effect of ...

OBJECTIVE Examine intakes of energy and macronutrients, and identify their food sources, in Thai preschool children. MATERIAL AND METHOD Data from the Thai National Health Examination Survey (NHES) IV were used. Mothers/caregivers were interviewed regarding their children's 24-hour-dietary intake. Dietary data were analyzed for energy and macronutrients, and their food sources were investigat...

Background The study was conducted to assess reliability of modified semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQFFQ) as a part of the Amirkola Health and Aging Project (AHAP). Methods The study was carried out in a sample of 200 men and women aged 60 years and older. A 138-item SQFFQ and two 24-hour dietary recalls were completed. The reliability of SQFFQ was evaluated by comparing eig...

During this session, Joanne Lupton of Texas A&M University, former chair of the panel on macronutrients, discussed selected research recommendations covering the five types of nutrients in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) Macronutrients Report (IOM, 2002/2005). Harold Kohl of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) addressed research recommendations pertaining to physical activi...

INTRODUCTION Adolescence is an important period of nutritional vulnerability due to the increased dietary requirements. OBJECTIVE To describe the nutritional status of adolescent cyclist and a group of normoactive controls. METHODS The HELENA Dietary Assessment Tool was used to evaluate the nutritional intake of 20 adolescent cyclists and 17 controls. Total energy intake, resting energy exp...

1) In univariate analyses of population-based observational data, are there direct relations of dietary SFAs to CHD? 2) In multivariate analyses controlled for possible confounders, are there independent direct relations of dietary SFAs to CHD? 3) Is the SFA-CHD relation similar for ‘‘hard’’ fatal CHD and ‘‘soft’’ total CHD? 4) Do limitations in quality of dietary data in epidemiologic studies ...
