The sustainability of diets in sub-Saharan Africa: Synergies and tradeoffs between human health and the environment
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces unique food security and sustainability challenges. The diets in SSA are insufficient on average, but how they compare across various population segments in terms of nutritional adequacy and environmental footprints is not sufficiently understood. Life cycle assessment (LCA) of diets can be useful, but existing life cycle inventories mostly refer to high-income countries. Hence, data and methodological adjustments a…
Individual‐Level Drivers of Food Choices and Diet Quality Among Adolescents in Urban West Africa: Evidence From Accra, Ghana
Diet quality is influenced by multiple individual factors, but their relative strength and importance remain unclear. We investigate the associations between five domains of individual factors (economic, cognitive, aspirational, situational and consumer behaviour) and diet intake of adolescents in Accra, Ghana. A cross-sectional survey among Junior High School (JHS) students (n = 409, mean age 14.3 years ± 1.28 (SD)) in Accra, Ghana, was conducte…
The association between dairy intake in adolescents on inflammation and risk markers of type 2 diabetes during young adulthood: Results of the Donald study
Objective: The aim of this analysis was to investigate whether habitual intake of total dairy (TD) or different dairy types (liquid, solid, fermented, non-fermented, low-fat, high-fat, low-sugar and high-sugar dairy) during adolescence is associated with biomarkers of low-grade inflammation as well as risk factors of type 2 diabetes in young adulthood. Design: Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to investigate prospective associati…
Empirically derived portion sizes from the DOrtmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed (Donald) study for 4- to 18-year-old children and adolescents to simplify analysis of dietary…
Objective: To apply FFQ, knowledge about portion sizes is relevant. According to increased energy and nutrient requirements, average portion sizes of foods are supposed to increase during growth. We provide empirically derived portion sizes for 4- to 18-year-olds in different age groups to facilitate analyses of FFQ data in children and adolescents. Design: Using data from the dynamic DOrtmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designe…
Move past adversity or bite through it? Diet quality, physical activity, and sedentary behavior in relation to resilience
Adverse life experiences are associated with an increased risk of mental disorders. The successful adaptation to adversity and maintenance or quick restoration of mental health despite adversity is referred to as resilience. Identifying factors that promote resilience can contribute to the prevention of mental disorders. Lifestyle behaviors, increasingly recognized for their impact on mental health, are discussed as potential resilience factors. …
Optimised diets for achieving One Health: A pilot study in the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolis in Germany
Dietary changes are needed to align the global food systems with the planetary boundaries and contribute to Sustainable Development Goals. We employed a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework, extended with indicators on human health and animal welfare, to assess 2020 food consumption data of a pilot sample collected through an online survey in the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolis (Germany). Feasible optimisation scenarios representing alternative sustainabl…
Place of Residence Is Associated with Dietary Intake and BMI-SDS in Children and Adolescents: Findings from the Donald Cohort Study
We aimed to determine whether place of residence in the German urban food environment is associated with habitual dietary intake (energy, macronutrients, and food groups) and body mass index (standard deviation score of BMI and BMI-SDS). Our hypothesis was that place of residence may explain some variation in dietary intake and nutritional outcomes. For the cross-sectional analyses of DONALD study data, we grouped participants according to their …
Adherence to healthy lifestyles and incidence of diabetes and mortality among individuals with diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies
Linking pre-existing biorepositories for medical research: The PopGen 2.0 Network
The significance of human biorepositories for modern medical research, particularly for comprehensive population-based genetic analyses, is constantly growing. While large and centralized institutions are usually considered best suited to meet the increasing demand for high-quality "biobanks," most medical research institutions still host rather heterogeneous and fragmented biobanking activities, undertaken by clinical departments with oftentimes…
Association of a lifestyle index with MRI-determined liver fat content in a general population study
BACKGROUND: In prior studies, lifestyle indices were associated with numerous disease end points, but the association with fatty liver disease (FLD), a key correlate of cardiometabolic risk, is unknown. The aim was to investigate associations between a lifestyle index with liver fat content. METHODS: Liver fat was quantified by MRI as liver signal intensity (LSI) in 354 individuals selected from a population-based cohort from Germany. Exposure to…
Food sources of carbohydrates in a European cohort of adults
Objective: To describe the average consumption of carbohydrate-providing food groups among study centres of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Methods: Of the 27 redefined EPIC study centres, 19 contributed subjects of both genders and eight centres female participants only (men, n =13 031; women, n =22924, after exclusion of subjects under 35 and over 74 years of age from the original 36 900 total). Dietary …
