Few studies have evaluated the relationship between changes in diet quality over time and risk of death.
Background— Adherence to several diet quality scores, including the Alternative Healthy Eating Index, Mediterranean Diet score, and Dietary Approach Stop Hypertension, has been associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but little is known about how changes in these scores over time influence subsequent CVD risk. Methods Results— We analyzed association between 4-year 3 (Alternative Hypertension) (CVD) among 29 343 men Health Professionals Follow-up Study 51 195 women...
The Boston Puerto Rican Health Study is an ongoing longitudinal cohort study designed to examine the role of psychosocial stress on presence and development allostatic load health outcomes in Ricans, potential modification by nutritional status, genetic variation, social support. Self-identified aged 45-75 years residing Boston, MA metro area, were recruited through door-to-door enumeration community approaches. Participants completed a comprehensive set questionnaires tests.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has been reaching epidemic proportions across the globe, affecting low/middle-income and developed countries. Two main contributors to this burden are reduction in mortality from infectious conditions concomitant negative changes lifestyles, including diet. We aimed depict current state worldwide light undergoing epidemiologic nutrition transition, posit that a key factor transition shift processing staple foods, less processed traditional foods highly...
Discrimination promotes multisystem physiological dysregulation termed allostatic load, which predicts morbidity and mortality. It remains unclear whether weight-related discrimination influences load. The aim of this study was to prospectively examine 10-year associations between weight discrimination, its components among adults 25–75 years in the Midlife Development US Biomarker Substudy. Participants with information on were analyzed (n=986). At both timepoints, participants...
Evidence consistently suggests that plant-based diets promote human and planetary health. Reducing large-scale animal-based food production generates environmental benefits, as the entire livestock agriculture chain plays an outsized role in greenhouse gas emissions, land change degradation, scarcity-weighted water use. However, substituting animal products with their counterparts must come consideration of nutritional quality resource usage processing operations. Several policy reforms have...
Studies suggest a potential link between low-grade metabolic acidosis and type 2 diabetes. A western dietary pattern increases daily acid load but the association diet-dependent diabetes is still unclear. This study aimed to assess whether associated with risk of We examined energy-adjusted net endogenous production (NEAP), renal (PRAL) animal protein-to-potassium ratio (A:P) on incident in 67,433 women from Nurses' Health Study, 84,310 Study II 35,743 men Professionals' Follow-up who were...
