Diet Quality and Incident Non-Communicable Disease in the 1946–1951 Cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health
Diet quality indices (DQIs) can be useful predictors of diet-disease relationships, including non-communicable disease (NCD) multimorbidity. We aimed to investigate whether overall diet quality (DQ) predicted NCD, multimorbidity, and all-cause mortality. Women from the 1945-51 cohort of the Australia Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) were included if they: responded to S3 in 2001 and at least one survey between 2004 (S4) and 2016 (S8),…
Diet and risk of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study
Objective: To examine associations between diet and risk of developing gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Design: Prospective cohort with a median follow-up of 15·8 years. Baseline diet was measured using a FFQ. GERD was defined as self-reported current or history of daily heartburn or acid regurgitation beginning at least 2 years after baseline. Sex-specific logistic regressions were performed to estimate OR for GERD associated with diet …
Diet scores and prediction of general and abdominal obesity in the Melbourne collaborative cohort study
Objective: To ascertain which of the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) 2010, Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®) and Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) best predicted BMI and waist-to-hip circumference ratio (WHR). Design: Body size was measured at baseline (1990–1994) and in 2003–2007. Diet was assessed at baseline using a FFQ, along with age, sex, socio-economic status, smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity and country of birth. Regressi…

A randomised controlled trial of dietary improvement for adults with major depression (the ‘SMILES’ trial)
The possible therapeutic impact of dietary changes on existing mental illness is largely unknown. Using a randomised controlled trial design, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of a dietary improvement program for the treatment of major depressive episodes. ‘SMILES’ was a 12-week, parallel-group, single blind, randomised controlled trial of an adjunctive dietary intervention in the treatment of moderate to severe depression. The intervention co…
Socioeconomic status and the 25 × 25 risk factors as determinants of premature mortality
Hydroxyvitamin D concentration and all-cause mortality
Objective To investigate relationships between mortality and circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D 3 ) and 25-hydroxyergocalciferol (25(OH)D 2 ). Design Case–cohort study within the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study (MCCS). We measured 25(OH)D 2 and 25(OH)D 3 in archived dried blood spots by LC–MS/MS. Cox regression was used to estimate mortality hazard ratios (HR), with adjustment for confounders. Setti…
On the pitfalls of disclosure statements
On the pitfalls of disclosure statements Disclosure statements are now such standard procedure for scientific journals that it is difficult to remember a time when they were not required. So it is interesting to see disclosure and transparency up for debate again in the medical literature, with some recent editorials raising concerns over the pitfalls of disclosure In this Public Health Nutrition (PHN) editorial we describe two instances that bri…

Abdominal obesity and other risk factors largely explain the high CRP in Indigenous Australians relative to the general population, but not gender differences
High concentrations of CRP in Indigenous participants were largely explained by other risk factors, in particular abdominal obesity. Irrespective of its independence as a risk factor, or its aetiological association with coronary heart disease (CHD), the high CRP levels in urban Indigenous women are likely to reflect increased vascular and metabolic risk. The significance of elevated CRP in Indigenous Australians should be investigated in future …

Plasma carotenoids are associated with socioeconomic status in an urban Indigenous population
Even within urban Indigenous Australians, higher SES was associated with higher concentrations of plasma carotenoids. Low plasma carotenoids have been linked with poor health outcomes; increasing accessibility of fruit and vegetables, as well as reducing smoking rates could increase concentrations and otherwise improve health, but our results suggest there may be additional factors contributing to lower carotenoid concentrations in Indigenous Aus…
High rates of albuminuria but not of low eGFR in Urban Indigenous Australians
Given the significant excess of ESKD observed in Indigenous versus non-Indigenous Australians, these findings could suggest either: albuminuria may be a better prognostic marker of kidney disease than low eGFR; that eGFR equations may be inaccurate in the Indigenous population; a less marked differential between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians for ESKD rates in urban compared to remote regions; or that differences in the pathophysiology…
