A survey of 739 registered dietitian nutritionists reveals that weight management success is hindered by limited educational resources, infrequent client contact, and challenges with food record accuracy, highlighting the need for improved technological platforms and further research into patient attrition.
This paper introduces PhytoFooD, a comprehensive database encompassing 1,067 bioactive compounds across 1,410 plant-based foods, to address gaps in existing literature and enable more accurate assessment of dietary plant bioactive intake and their health impacts.
This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates that Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols significantly improve 1- to 5-year overall survival and reduce long-term mortality in colorectal cancer patients, particularly among those with early-stage tumors and high adherence to the protocol, although no statistically significant benefit was observed for disease-free survival.
Using the Thanzi La Onse simulation framework, this study demonstrates that the most cost-effective strategy for managing childhood acute malnutrition in Malawi is an integrated approach combining improved caregiver recognition of early symptoms with expanded availability of therapeutic food supplements, which is projected to avert over 840,000 DALYs over five years at a modest cost.
This study of 389 packed lunches in UK early years settings reveals that while nutritional quality varies, ultra-processed foods are nearly ubiquitous across all socioeconomic groups, with only modest differences linked to area-level deprivation.
This study demonstrates that a 2 g dose of citrulline HCl provides a faster and more efficient method for increasing plasma arginine levels compared to a 6 g dose of L-citrulline, due to improved conversion rates and reduced urinary excretion.
The Manitoba Interdisciplinary Lactation Center (MILC) is a novel, globally accessible research platform that integrates standardized human milk biobanking, detailed parent-child feeding questionnaires, and linked provincial administrative data to overcome methodological limitations in lactation research and advance the study of human milk composition, maternal-child health, and societal determinants.
This study demonstrates that adhering to current dietary guidelines for fruit and vegetable intake is insufficient to achieve the 500 mg/day flavanol intake level associated with cardiovascular benefits, suggesting that specific dietary reference values for flavanols may be necessary.
A longitudinal study of rural Indonesian infants reveals that elevated environmental enteric dysfunction biomarkers are frequent and show weak, bidirectional associations with specific water, sanitation, and hygiene practices as well as linear growth outcomes.
This study analyzes metabolomics data from the CALERIE Phase 2 trial to reveal that long-term caloric restriction induces distinct, time-dependent shifts in carbohydrate and lipid pathways, characterized by initial reductions during weight loss followed by stabilization or compensatory responses during weight maintenance, suggesting dynamic metabolic remodeling potentially linked to inflammation and aging.
Using a Bayesian bivariate spatial analysis of 2019 Mini DHS data, this study reveals that while stunting and wasting in Ethiopian children share common socio-economic and biological risk factors, they exhibit largely independent geographic patterns, necessitating tailored interventions that address both chronic and acute malnutrition.
This paper proposes an expanded framework for "obesogenic memory" that integrates molecular mechanisms with sociocultural dimensions, introducing a three-phase model of memorizing, remembering, and rescribing to better understand and address the persistence of obesity and weight regain.
This single-arm prospective study demonstrates that an infant formula enriched with whey protein concentrate, -lactalbumin, milk fat globule membrane, and Sn-2 palmitate provides feeding tolerance, growth, and intestinal immune health markers in Chinese infants that are comparable to those observed in breastfed infants.
Using storyboarding and a realist lens in a qualitative study of under-resourced communities, this paper reveals that effective weight management requires shifting from short-term to long-term, multicomponent interventions that address contextual barriers like cost and mental health while providing robust, accessible psychological support.
This UK Biobank study of over 76,000 participants reveals that poor sleep health traits, particularly evening chronotype and daytime sleepiness, are associated with increased liking for sweet foods and higher free sugar intake, with sweet taste preference partially mediating these relationships.
