Abstract Background Different healthy food patterns may modify cardiometabolic risk. We investigated the effects of an isocaloric N ordic diet on insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, blood pressure and inflammatory markers in people with metabolic syndrome. Methods conducted a randomized dietary study lasting for 18–24 weeks individuals features syndrome (mean age 55 years, BMI 31.6 kg m −2 , 67% women). Altogether 309 were screened, 200 started intervention after 4‐week run‐in period, 96...
BackgroundDiet is a major modifiable risk factor for human health and overall consumption patterns affect planetary health. We aimed to quantify global, regional, national levels of animal-source foods (ASF) inform intervention, surveillance, policy priorities.MethodsIndividual-level dietary surveys across 185 countries conducted between 1990 2018 were identified, obtained, standardised, assessed among children adults, jointly stratified by age, sex, education level, rural versus urban...
This systematic literature review examined the role of dietary macronutrient composition, food consumption and patterns in predicting weight or waist circumference (WC) change, with without prior reduction. The search covered year 2000 onwards. Prospective cohort studies, case-control studies interventions were included. had adult (18-70 y), mostly Caucasian participants. Out a total 1,517 abstracts, 119 full papers identified as potentially relevant. After careful scrutiny, 50 quality...
Objective To examine the associations of gestational weight gain (GWG) and diet with low‐grade inflammation in pregnancy. Methods A cross‐sectional analysis 671 pregnant women was performed, assessed week 30. GWG recorded weeks 30 ∼37 (difference between at these time points pre‐pregnancy weight). Markers inflammation, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP), serum amyloid (SAA), interleukin (IL)−6, IL‐8, IL‐1β, tumor necrosis factor‐α were quantified from Results After adjusting for...
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Women’s diet can be especially difficult to assess, as women tend underreport their intakes more often than men and are likely do so if they think overweight or obese. The aim was compare two methods assess women’s how well associate with biomarkers. influence frequency of underreporting also investigated. <i>Methods:</i> Diet 53 assessed by 24-hour recalls a food questionnaire (FFQ). Blood analyzed for retinol, β-carotene, vitamin C serum...
The present literature review is a part of the NNR5 project with aim reviewing and updating scientific basis 4th edition Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR) issued in 2004. main objective to assess influence different intakes iodine at life stages (infants, children, adolescents, adults, elderly, during pregnancy lactation) order estimate requirement for adequate growth, development, maintenance health. search resulted 1,504 abstracts. Out those, 168 papers were identified as potentially...
There are several lines of evidence pointing to fetal and other early origins diseases the aging brain, but there no data directly addressing hypotheses in an older population. We investigated association size late-age measures brain structure function a large cohort men women explored modifying effect education on these associations.Within AGES (Age Gene/Environment Susceptibility)-Reykjavik population-based (born between 1907 1935), archived birth records were abstracted for 1254 who ∼75...
Abstract Background Obesity has been longitudinally associated with depression but only few studies take a life course approach. This longitudinal study investigates whether being overweight or obese at age 8 and 13 years is depressive symptoms more than 60 later this association independent of late-life body mass index (BMI). We also investigated the overweight/obese ever having major disorder (lifetime MDD). Method analysis based on sub-sample 889 AGES-Reykjavik participants measured BMI...
Few studies exist on the validity of food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) administered to elderly people. The aim this study was assess a short FFQ present dietary intake, developed specially for AGES-Reykjavik Study, which includes 5,764 individuals. Assessing FFQs is essential before they are used in diet-related disease risk and health outcomes. 128 healthy participants (74 y ± 5.7; 58.6% female) answered AGES-FFQ, subsequently filled out 3-day weighed record. Validity AGES-FFQ assessed...
Rapid growth during infancy is associated with increased risk of overweight and obesity differences in weight gain are at least partly explained by means infant feeding. The aim was to assess the associations between feeding practice early body mass index (BMI) 6 years age. Icelandic infants (n = 154) were prospectively followed from birth 12 months again age years. Birth length gathered maternity wards, healthcare centers provided measurements made up 18 Information on breastfeeding...
Aim To study the associations between protein intake from different sources with anthropometry and serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in infancy childhood. Methods Children (n = 199) born Iceland were followed up to six years of age. Their various animal proteins vegetable was calculated weighed food records at 12 months 6 years. Information about their weight height birth, 18 months, gathered. Serum IGF-1 measured Results At age six, children highest quartile for (≥12.2% total...
Background and Aim Few studies have explored the possible plasma cholesterol lowering effects of rye consumption. The aim this secondary analysis in SYSDIET study was to investigate association between alkylresorcinols (AR), a biomarker for whole grain wheat intake, blood lipid concentrations population with metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, we analyzed associations AR C17∶0/C21∶0 ratio, suggested marker relative intake grain/bran rye, concentrations. Methods Participants were 30–65 years...
