Highlights of Current Dietary Guidelines in Five Continents
The dietary guidelines as well as the organizations that establish the recommendations are not homogeneous across regions of the world. Each country utilizes specific icons to better describe to the public easy ways to follow specific recommendations, including the use of pyramids, plates, and other forms of presenting key information. All dietary guidelines are updated within certain periods to ensure that new findings or specific changes are co…
Association of eggs with dietary nutrient adequacy and cardiovascular risk factors in US adults
Objective Whole eggs are rich sources of several micronutrients. However, it is not well known how egg consumption contributes to overall nutrient adequacy and how it may relate to CVD risk factors. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine how whole egg consumption contributes to nutrient intakes and to assess its association with CVD risk factors in US adults. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting The study was conducted using data from t…
Nutrition Facts Panel use is associated with diet quality and dietary patterns among Latinos with type 2 diabetes
Objective The study aims were to (i) identify determinants of Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP) use and (ii) describe the association between NFP use and dietary intake among Latinos with type 2 diabetes. Design Baseline cross-sectional data from a clinical trial were used to assess the association between NFP use and dietary intake. Diet was measured using two methods: (i) a diet quality score (the Healthy Eating Index-2010) derived from a single 24 h…
Validation of an FFQ to assess short-term antioxidant intake against 30 d food records and plasma biomarkers
Objective To validate a brief FFQ developed for capturing short-term antioxidant intake in a sample of US college students. Design A seventy-four-item antioxidant FFQ was developed based on major antioxidant sources in the American diet. The FFQ was validated against 30 d food records (FR) and plasma antioxidant concentrations. The reliability of the FFQ was evaluated by two FFQ administered at a 1-month interval. Settings University of Connectic…
Validation of an FFQ to assess antioxidant intake in overweight postmenopausal women
Objective To validate an FFQ to assess antioxidant intake in overweight postmenopausal women. Design A seventy-four-item antioxidant 1-month FFQ was developed based on major antioxidant sources in the American diet. Forty overweight postmenopausal women participated in a 9-month observational study and completed four sets of FFQ and 7 d food record (7dFR) every 3 months. Twelve-hour fasting blood was collected for plasma antioxidant measurement a…
