Dietary calcium deficiency is considered to be widespread globally, with published estimates suggesting that approximately half of the world's population has inadequate access dietary calcium. Calcium essential for bone health, but intakes have also been linked other health outcomes, including pregnancy complications, cancers, and cardiovascular disease. Populations in low- middle-income countries (LMICs) are at greatest risk low intakes, although many individuals high-income (HICs) do not...
In an attempt to develop the food composition table for Bangladesh, nutritional of nine varieties orange-fleshed sweet potato was analyzed together with total carotenoids (TCC) and polyphenol content (TPC). Each variety showed significant variation in different nutrient contents. The quantification TCC TPC done by spectrophotometric measurement, proximate AOAC method. obtained results that varied from 94.63 136.05 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g fresh weight. Among selected potatoes,...
Wild plants are considered the richest source of essential nutrients and other beneficial phytochemicals. Hence, objective this study was to evaluate nutritional composition, antioxidant- α-amylase inhibition activities leaves roots selected Bangladeshi wild plants. These were found have high fiber (13.78-22.26 g/100 g), protein (7.08-21.56 g) ash (8.21-21.43 contents. The total phenolic flavonoid contents significantly higher in than roots. Additionally, antioxidant activity evaluated using...
Nowadays, more attention has been paid on wild plants as new source of natural antioxidants. Therefore, methanolic extracts 10 traditionally consumed leafy vegetables Bangladesh were analyzed for their total phenolic content (TPC) and free radical scavenging activity. Folin-Ciocalteu method followed by spectrophotometric measurement was used to quantify the TPC selected vegetables. Free activity examined utilizing 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Different concentrations plant...
Background: Phenolics and carotenoids are natural antioxidants, which provide health benefits protect against degenerative chronic diseases. Utilization identification of foods with a high content these have received greater attention nowadays. Objective: The present study reports the total phenolics (TPC) (TCC) contents thirty-two selected unconventional vegetables growing in Bangladesh. In addition, they were also analyzed for their antioxidant potentials. Methods: Folin-Ciocalteu...

Abstract Background Young adulthood is a period of increasing independence for the 40% young adults enrolled in U.S. colleges. Previous research indicates differences how students’ health behaviors develop and vary by gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status. George Mason University state institution that enrolls highly diverse student population, making it an ideal setting to launch longitudinal cohort study using multiple methods evaluate effects on physical psychological functioning,...
To evaluate dietary and physical activity behavior in relation to loneliness among college students.
Abstract Globally, dietary intake of calcium is often insufficient, and it unclear if adequacy could be achieved by promoting calcium‐rich local foods. This study used linear programming household consumption data from Uganda, Bangladesh, Guatemala to assess whether foods meet population reference intakes (Ca PRIs). The most promising food‐based approaches promote were identified for 12‐ 23‐month‐old breastfed children, 4‐ 6‐year‐old 10‐ 14‐year‐old girls, nonpregnant nonbreastfeeding (NPNB)...
Abstract Adequate calcium intake is essential for health, especially infants, children, adolescents, and women, yet difficult to achieve with local foods in many low‐ middle‐income countries. Previous analysis found it was not always possible identify food‐based recommendations (FBRs) that reached the population recommended (PRI) these groups Bangladesh, Guatemala, Uganda. We have modeled potential contribution of calcium‐fortified drinking water or wheat flour FBR sets, fill remaining gaps....
This qualitative study explored factors associated with causes of food insecurity including cultural and coping strategies among rural Hispanic population in west Texas. A sample 20 participants from low-income households participated. Coding analysis the key themes were done by four independent coders. Four overarching emerged: (1) is a well-kept secret aspect, (2) behavioral environmental elements are major insecurity, (3) price staying secure, (4) for plausible interventions to...
Objective The objective of the study was to evaluate how well college students meet U.S. dietary guidelines by examining mean intakes nutrients limit (sodium, sugar, refined grains, and saturated fat), what factors lead exceeding recommendations.Participants Participants were first-year undergraduate (N = 269).Methods Diet assessed using a DHQ-III estimated with food source composition tables. Multivariable logistic regression analysis used model variables associated recommendations....
Young adults typically gain more dietary autonomy as they start college, though this can also present nutritional challenges; however, research on the generalizability of their intake data is scarce. To address representativeness concern, we compared food and nutrient intakes reported by college freshmen attending a large, diverse university to an age-matched sample from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We studied 269 students 18–24 years old recruited through Mason:...
Abstract Increasing dietary calcium intakes of Ethiopian women reproductive age (WRA) is a public health priority for reducing pre‐eclampsia in pregnancy. Using linear programming, we determined whether locally available foods consumed by WRA nine regions (urban and rural) two administrative cities Ethiopia could provide 1000 mg/day calcium, identified food‐based recommendations (FBRs) to improve adequacy each region. Results showed that diets providing were feasible eight (40%) the target...

Objective: Identifying the food sources contributing most to total energy percentage, macronutrients, vitamin and mineral consumption among college freshmen, whether sex played a role. Participants: First-year undergraduate students (N = 269). Methods: Diet was assessed using DHQ-III estimated with source composition tables. Nutrient intakes were expressed as percentage of dietary for each category. Mann-Whitney U tests used determine differences between two sexes Results: A significant...
