Vitamin D status of pregnant women with obesity in the United Kingdom and its association with pregnancy outcomes: a secondary analysis of the UPBEAT study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000862. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrenatal vitamin D deficiency is widely reported and may affect perinatal outcomes. In this secondary analysis of the UK Pregnancies Better Eating and Activity Trial (UPBEAT), we examined vitamin D status and its relationship with selected pregnancy outcomes in women with obesity (BMI≥30kg/m2) from multi-ethnic inner-city settings in the UK. Determinants of vitamin D status at a mean of 17±1 weeks' gestation were assessed using multivariable linear regression and reported as percent differences in serum hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)....

Preconception diet in adolescence and its association with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and preterm birth. Results from The HUNT study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-22. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000746. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOur aim was to estimate associations of adolescent dietary patterns and meal habits with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and preterm birth. We used data from a prospective cohort study (Norwegian Young-HUNT1) where dietary information was collected during adolescence and pregnancy outcomes were obtained through record linkage to the Norwegian national birth registry. The outcomes were HDP, hypertension, preeclampsia/ eclampsia, and preterm birth in the first pregnancy and in any pregnancy. Diet was self-reported from valida...

Evolution of household availability of added sugars and their sources in Brazil: analysis of Household Budget Surveys from 2002 to 2017
In conclusion, Brazilians' total intake of added sugar was decreased, mostly owing to reduced consumption of sugar from soft drinks.PMID:38634261 | DOI:10.1017/S0007114524000813 (Source: The British Journal of Nutrition)

Building nutritionally meaningful classification for grocery product groups: the LoCard Food Classification process
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000710. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnalysing customer loyalty card data is a novel method for assessing nutritional quality and changes in a population's food consumption. However, prior to its use, the thousands of grocery products available in stores must be reclassified from the retailer's original hierarchical structure into a structure that is suitable for the use of nutrition and health research. We created LoCard Food Classification (LCFC) and examined how it reflects the nutritional quality of the grocery product groups. Nutritional quality was considered the ...

Curcumin Effects on Age-Related Changes in Oral Immunity: An < em > In Vivo < /em > Study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-21. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000801. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current study aimed to investigate the effects of ageing on oral immunity using β-defensin (DEFB) 1/2 as a marker and evaluate the effects of curcumin (CUR) on these processes. The study sample included 30 male C57BL/6J mice divided into three groups based on the treatment method used. The young control (YC) and old control (OC) groups received 0.5% methylcellulose-400 (curcumin vehicle) orally for five days, whereas the CUR group of older mice received a curcumin solution suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose-400 (dose: 3.0 mg/kg b...

24-h passive heat and cold exposures did not modify energy intake and appetite but strongly modify food reward
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-40. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000825. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEffects of acute thermal exposures on appetite appear hypothetical in reason of very heterogeneous methodologies. The aim of this study was therefore to clearly define the effects of passive 24-h cold (16°C) and heat (32°C) exposures on appetitive responses compared to a thermo neutral condition (24°C). Twenty-three healthy, young, and active male participants realised three sessions (from 1 pm) in a laboratory conceived like an apartment dressed with the same outfit (Clo=1). Three meals composed of three or four cold or warm dish...

Effectiveness of GLIM and SGA for diagnosing malnutrition and predicting wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) in diagnosing malnutrition and predicting wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). GLIM criteria were evaluated for sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), positive predictive value (PPV), negative PV (NPV), and kappa (κ) against SGA as the reference. Modified Poisson regression model and the DeLong test investigated the association between malnutrition and non-healing ulcers over six months. This retrospective cohort study included 398 patients with DFU, with a mean...

Comparisons between dxa and bioimpedance devices for appendicular lean mass and muscle quality in hispanic adults
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 15:1-24. doi: 10.1017/S000711452400076X. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to compare single- and multi-frequency bioimpedance (BIA) devices against dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for appendicular lean mass (ALM) and muscle quality index (MQI) metrics in Hispanic adults. One-hundred thirty-one Hispanic adults (18-55 yrs.) participated in this study. ALM was measured with single-frequency (SFBIA), multi-frequency (MFBIA), and DXA. ALMTOTAL (left arm + right arm + left leg + right leg) and ALMARMS (left arm + right arm) were computed for all three devices. Handgrip streng...

Effect of different doses of camelina cake inclusion as a substitute of dietary soybean meal on growth performance and gut health of weaned pigs
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of CAM in substitution of soybean meal on the growth, health and gut health of weaned pigs. At 14 days post-weaning (d0), 64 piglets were assigned either to a standard diet or to a diet with 4%, 8% or 12% of CAM. Piglets were weighed weekly. At d7 and d28, faeces were collected for microbiota and polyamine and blood for reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) and thyroxine analysis. At d28, pigs were slaughtered; organs were weighed, pH was recorded on gut, colon was analysed for volatile fatty acid (VFAs) and jejunum was used for morphological and gene expression analy...

Validating nutrient selection for product-group-specific nutrient indices for use as functional units in life cycle assessment of foods
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 12:1-23. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000709. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ability to provide adequate nutrition is considered a key factor in evaluating the sustainability of foods and diets. Nutrient indices are used as functional units (FUs) in life cycle assessment of foods to include nutritional performance in the environmental assessment of a product. Several general and food group-specific nutrient indices exist but many lack validation, particularly when used as FU. In addition, the nutrient selection strategies and reference units for nutrient intake can vary considerably among studies. To vali...

Post-prandial tracer studies of protein and amino acid utilisation: what can they tell us about human amino acid and protein requirements?
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 12:1-65. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000734. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNitrogen-balance, the principal methodology used to derive recommendations for human protein and amino-acid requirements, has been widely criticised, and calls for increased protein and amino-acid requirement recommendation have been made, often on the basis of post-prandial amino-acid tracer-kinetic studies of muscle protein synthesis, or of amino-acid oxidation. In each case, for such studies to inform about requirements over 24hrs or longer, it is arguable that their design and interpretation should take into account an understand...
