Daily intake of dairy products in Brazil and contributions to nutrient intakes
Objective Dairy products are sources of protein and micronutrients important in a healthy diet. The purpose of the present analysis was to estimate consumption of dairy products by Brazilians and identify contributions of dairy products to nutrient intakes. Design Dairy consumption data were obtained from 24 h dietary records. Dairy products were defined as milk (including flavoured), cheese and yoghurt. Estimates of dairy product intakes were ge…
Egg consumption and CHD and stroke mortality
Objective To evaluate the relationship between egg consumption and CHD and stroke mortality using the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1988–1994 (NHANES III) and follow-up survey. Design A cross-sectional survey using a stratified, multi-stage probability sample was analysed, adjusting for survey design. Egg consumption was obtained from the FFQ and separated into categories of egg intake. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated …
Contribution of specific dietary factors to CHD in US females
Objective To estimate dietary cholesterol contribution to CHD risk among US females, relative to other dietary risk factors. Design A risk apportionment model was applied to apportion CHD risk shares among the lifestyle and dietary risk factors. Setting The model was implemented using relative risks from the Nurses’ Health Study and data on CHD risk factors and consumption from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2002. Subje…
Relationship between fish intake, n -3 fatty acids, mercury and risk markers of CHD (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2002)
Background Fish consumption has been shown to be inversely associated with CHD, which may be due to n -3 fatty acids. The n -3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, are naturally found only in marine sources. Dietary intakes of methylmercury from certain fish have been hypothesized to increase the risk of CHD. Objective To investigate the relationship between 30 d fish frequency consumption (assessed by FFQ), total blood Hg concentrations and risk markers of…
