Scoring adherence to voluntary restriction diets (SAVoReD) in the Adapt study
Voluntary adoption of popular food-group-restricting diets like Paleo and plant-based diets (PBDs) are often health-motivated. However, unlike the theoretical design of these diets, different levels of dietary adherence may result in different diet quality and bodyweight in real-world settings-a limitation to the efficacy of dietary interventions. Scoring Adherence to Voluntary Restriction Diets (SAVoReD) is a metric to quantify and compare adher…
Participant characteristics and self-reported weight status in a cross-sectional pilot survey of self-identified followers of popular diets
Objective: To describe characteristics of self-identified popular diet followers and compare mean BMI across these diets, stratified by time following diet. Design: Cross-sectional, web-based survey administered in 2015. Setting: Non-localised, international survey. Participants: Self-selected followers of popular diets ( n 9019) were recruited to the survey via social media and email announcements by diet community leaders, categorised into eigh…
Long-term dietary flavonoid intake and change in cognitive function in the Framingham Offspring cohort
Objective: To examine the association between long-term intake of total and the six classes of dietary flavonoids and decline in cognitive function over a follow-up period of up to 15 years. Design: In this longitudinal study, we evaluated change in eight cognitive domain scores (verbal and visual memory, verbal learning, attention and concentration, abstract reasoning, language, visuoperceptual organisation and the global function) based on thre…

Dietary protein and changes in markers of cardiometabolic health across 20 years of follow-up in middle-aged Americans
Objective Dietary protein plays a role in counteracting age-related muscle loss. However, limited long-term data exist on protein intake and markers of cardiometabolic health, which tend to deteriorate with age. Design Prospective cohort study. FFQ-derived protein intake (g/d) and cardiometabolic markers were assessed up to five times across 20 years. Markers included systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures, circulating lipids (total, …
The impact of caffeine use across the lifespan on cognitive performance in elderly women
Contribution of the Nurses’ Health Study to the Epidemiology of Cataract, Age-Related Macular Degeneration, and Glaucoma
Objectives. To review the contribution of the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) to understanding the genetic and lifestyle factors that influence the risk of cataract, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Methods. We performed a narrative review of the publications of the NHS between 1976 and 2016. Results. The NHS has helped to elucidate the roles of genetics, lifestyle factors (e.g., cigarette smoking associated with cataract extraction and…
The role of eating frequency on total energy intake and diet quality in a low-income, racially diverse sample of schoolchildren
Objective The relationship of meal and snacking patterns with overall dietary intake and relative weight in children is unclear. The current study was done to examine how eating, snack and meal frequencies relate to total energy intake and diet quality. Design The cross-sectional associations of eating, meal and snack frequencies with total energy intake and diet quality, measured by the Healthy Eating Index 2005 (HEI-2005), were examined in sepa…
Social Network Concordance in Food Choice Among Spouses, Friends, and Siblings
Objectives. We investigated whether eating behaviors were concordant among diverse sets of social ties. Methods. We analyzed the socioeconomic and demographic distribution of eating among 3418 members of the Framingham Heart Study observed from 1991 to 2001. We used a data-classification procedure to simplify choices into 7 nonoverlapping patterns that we matched with information on social network ties. We used correlation analysis to examine eat…
Adolescent Obesity and Risk for Subsequent Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety Disorder
Objective: To assess whether adolescent obesity is associated with risk for development of major depressive disorder (MDD) or anxiety disorder. Obesity has been linked to psychosocial difficulties among youth. Methods: Analysis of a prospective community-based cohort originally from upstate New York, assessed four times over 20 years. Participants (n = 776) were 9 to 18 years old in 1983; subsequent assessments took place in 1985 to 1986 (n = 775…
Hyperhomocysteinemia associated with poor recall in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Hyperhomocysteinemia is related to poor recall and this association was partially independent of folate status.

Long-Term Morbidity and Mortality of Overweight Adolescents
BACKGROUND: Overweight in adults is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In contrast, the long-term effect of overweight in adolescence on morbidity and mortality is not known. METHODS: We studied the relation between overweight and morbidity and mortality in 508 lean or overweight adolescents 13 to 18 years old who participated in the Harvard Growth Study of 1922 to 1935. Overweight adolescents were defined as those with a body-mas…
