Life Expectancy Gains from Dietary Modifications: A Comparative Modelling Study in Seven Countries
CONCLUSION: A sustained change from country-specific typical dietary pattern patterns to longevity-optimized dietary changes, more feasible dietary changes, or optimized vegan dietary changes, are all projected to result in substantial life expectancy gains across ages and countries. These changes included more whole grains, legumes, and nuts, and less red/processed meats and sugars and sugar-sweetened beverages. The largest gains from dietary changes would be in the United States.PMID:38692410 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.028 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Duodenal quantitative mucosal morphometry in children with environmental enteric dysfunction: a cross-sectional multi-country analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Morphometric analysis of duodenal biopsy slides across geographies identified morphologic features of EED, specifically short villi, elongated crypts, and a smaller V:C ratio relative to NPA slides; although not as severe as in celiac slides. Morphometry did not explain other EED features, suggesting that EED histopathologic processes may be operating independently of morphology. While acknowledging the challenges with obtaining relevant tissue, these data form the basis for further assessments of the role of morphometry in EED.PMID:38685382 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.027 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Environmental sustainability of diets among children and adolescents in the German DONALD cohort study: Age and time trends, and nutrient adequacy
CONCLUSION: Our findings underscore both the further need but also the capacity for change toward more environmentally sustainable diets. Yet, the trade-off between environmental sustainability and nutrient adequacy in diets of children and adolescents requires specific attention to dietary composition.PMID:38677519 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.026 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Workplace food purchases, dietary intake, and gut microbial metabolites in a secondary analysis of the ChooseWell 365 study
CONCLUSIONS: In a secondary analysis of the ChooseWell 365 study, associations between circulating gut microbiome-related metabolites and a healthy diet were confirmed using both objective and subjective measures of consumption. Accurate identification of diet-associated metabolites may help guide dietary or microbiome-based interventions aimed at disease prevention.PMID:38677520 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.022 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Exploring salivary iodine concentration as a biomarker for iodine status and thyroid nodules in females from different water iodine areas: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Using SIC as a biomarker, females in CIDA exhibited mild iodine deficiency, those in IIDA and IAA demonstrated moderate iodine deficiency, and those in IEA and IEHA exhibited an excess of iodine, consistent with SUIC to assess iodine status. SIC can be used as a good biomarker to evaluate the iodine status in population.PMID:38677523 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.023 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
