The mushrooms on the menu (MOM) study
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in aged care due to reduced endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and less time outdoors, and is associated with poorer health outcomes. Supplementation implementation is variable and dosages are often suboptimal. Due to limited food sources, diet is frequently overlooked, yet mushrooms can raise vitamin D levels in deficient individuals similar to a supplement. Objectives: Mushrooms on the Menu (M…
Macronutrient Intake in Pregnancy and Child Cognitive and Behavioural Outcomes
Prenatal nutrient exposures can impact on brain development and disease susceptibility across the lifespan. It is well established that maternal macronutrient intake during pregnancy influences foetal and infant development. Therefore, we hypothesise that macronutrient intakes during pregnancy are correlated with cognitive development during early childhood. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal macronutrient in…
Nutrient Dense, Low-Cost Foods Can Improve the Affordability and Quality of the New Zealand Diet—A Substitution Modeling Study
The high prevalence of non-communicable disease in New Zealand (NZ) is driven in part by unhealthy diet selections, with food costs contributing to an increased risk for vulnerable population groups. This study aimed to: (i) identify the nutrient density-to-cost ratio of NZ foods; (ii) model the impact of substituting foods with a lower nutrient density-to-cost ratio with those with a higher nutrient density-to-cost ratio on diet quality and affo…
Diet and Economic Modelling to Improve the Quality and Affordability of the Australian Diet for Low and Medium Socioeconomic Households
Food costs are a barrier to healthier diet selections, particularly for low socioeconomic households who regularly choose processed foods containing refined grains, added sugars, and added fats. In this study, the objectives were to: (i) identify the nutrient density-to-cost ratio of Australian foods; (ii) model the impact of substituting foods with lower nutrient density-to-cost ratio with those with the highest nutrient density-to-cost ratio fo…
Dietary disinhibition mediates the relationship between poor sleep quality and body weight
Listeria monocytogenes and diet during pregnancy; balancing nutrient intake adequacy v . adverse pregnancy outcomes
Objective To evaluate the impact of adherence to public health recommendations on Listeria monocytogenes food safety to limit exposure to potential food sources on micronutrient intakes of pregnant women and whether more frequent consumption of ‘high-risk’ foods increases risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Design A cohort study in women assessing Listeria exposure from an FFQ based on consumption of potential Listeria -containing food sources, …
