This perspective article shares unique insights from the extensive experience of US Department Agriculture Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review branch in conducting systematic reviews on dietary patterns and health outcomes to inform Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Methodological approaches reviewing research are described, including operationalizing definitions analyzing labeled patterns. The review also describes techniques synthesizing across life stages that food-based, federal...
The USDA's Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review (NESR) team specializes in conducting systematic reviews (SRs) to inform federal nutrition policy and programs. NESR's dedicated staff collaborate with leading scientists answer important food- nutrition-related public health questions by objectively reviewing, evaluating, synthesizing research using state-of-the-art methodology. NESR uses a rigorous, protocol-driven methodology that is designed minimize bias; ensure availability of SRs are...
Introduction Loss of control (LOC) eating is the perceived inability to how much eaten, regardless actual amount consumed. Childhood LOC-eating a risk factor for development binge-eating disorder (BED), but its neurobiological basis poorly understood. Studies in children with BED have shown both increased gray matter volume regions related top-down cognitive (e.g., dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) and reward-related decision making orbital frontal relative healthy controls. However, no...
Summary Background Portion size influences intake (i.e. the portion effect [PSE]), yet determinants of susceptibility to PSE are unclear. Objective We tested whether children who reported an episode loss control (LOC) eating over last 3 months would be more susceptible and show differential brain responses food cues compared with no‐LOC. Methods Across five sessions, ( n = 47; 7–10 years) consumed four test meals at 100%, 133%, 167% 200% conditions for completed a functional magnetic...
Abstract Longer exclusive breastfeeding duration has been associated with differences in neural development, better satiety responsiveness, and decreased risk for childhood obesity. Given hippocampus sensitivity to diet potential role the integration of signals, may play a these relationships. We conducted secondary analysis 149, 7–11‐year‐olds (73 males) who participated one five studies that assessed responses food cues. Hippocampal grey matter volume was extracted from structural scans...
