The impact of online food delivery applications on dietary pattern disruption in the Arab region
Background: While online food delivery applications (OFDAs) offer convenient food accessibility, their impact on dietary behaviors remains insufficiently explored, especially in the Arab region. This study applies machine learning (ML) techniques to identify the key behavioral and nutritional factors contributing to dietary disruption linked to OFD platforms. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study which involved 7,370 adults across 10 Arab…
Evaluating the effectiveness and risks of bread fortification programs in the middle eastern region
Fortification of staple foods such as bread has been implemented as a public health strategy to address nutrient deficiencies. Currently, 11 out of 22 Middle Eastern countries have mandatory wheat flour fortification, primarily with iron and folic acid, while others have voluntary initiatives. Despite progress in bread fortification efforts across the Middle East the long-term effectiveness and safety of these programs remain unclear. We assess t…
The impact of digital literacy and internet usage on health behaviors and decision-making in Arab Mena countries
Perspectives and practices of dietitians with regards to social/mass media use during the transitions from face-to-face to telenutrition in the time of Covid-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, most healthcare professionals switched from face-to-face clinical encounters to telehealth. This study sought to investigate the dietitians’ perceptions and practices toward the use of social/mass media platforms amid the transition from face-to-face to telenutrition in the time of COVID-19. This cross-sectional study involving a convenient sample of 2,542 dietitians (mean age = 31.7 ± 9.5; females: 88.2%) was launch…
Machine learning techniques for the identification of risk factors associated with food insecurity among adults in Arab countries during the Covid-19 pandemic
The ML algorithms seem to be an effective method in early detection and prediction of food insecurity and can profoundly aid policymaking. The integration of ML approaches in public health strategies could potentially improve the development of targeted and effective interventions to combat food insecurity in these regions and globally
Sex disparities in food consumption patterns, dietary diversity and determinants of self-reported body weight changes before and amid the Covid-19 pandemic in 10 Arab countries
Background The COVID-19 pandemic along with its confinement period boosted lifestyle modifications and impacted women and men differently which exacerbated existing gender inequalities. The main objective of this paper is to assess the gender-based differentials in food consumption patterns, dietary diversity and the determinants favoring weight change before and amid the COVID-19 pandemic among Arab men and women from 10 Arab countries. Methods …
Does a Gluten-Free Diet Affect BMI and Glycosylated Hemoglobin in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes and Asymptomatic Celiac Disease? A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
Background: Children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are more prone to having celiac disease (CD) than the normal population. Moreover, patients with this dual diagnosis who are also on a diabetic and gluten-free diet (GFD) risk faltering growth and uncontrolled blood glucose levels. This review aims to assess the efficacy and effectiveness of managing patients with T1DM screened for CD with GFD to prevent complications associated …
The Impact of Covid-19 on Physical (In)Activity Behavior in 10 Arab Countries
Insufficient physical activity is considered a strong risk factor associated with non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on physical (in)activity behavior in 10 Arab countries before and during the lockdown. A cross-sectional study using a validated online survey was launched originally in 38 different countries. The Eastern Mediterranean regional data related to the 10 Arabic countries that participated in t…
Adequacy of Nutrients Intake among Jordanian Pregnant Women in Comparison to Dietary Reference Intakes
While the intake of some nutrients from food alone remains below the DRIs in the diets of pregnant women, the intake of other nutrients is above the UL. Raising the awareness of pregnant women about their diet and how a supplement intake can reduce the risk of inadequate intake for many micronutrients and improve their pregnancy outcomes is of great importance
