The prevalence of age-related cognitive disorders/dementia is increasing, and effective prevention treatment interventions are lacking due to an incomplete understanding aging neuropathophysiology. Emerging evidence suggests that abnormalities in gut microbiome linked with decline getting acceptance as one the pillars Geroscience hypothesis. However, potential clinical importance predicting risk older adults unclear. Till now majority studies were done using 16S rRNA sequencing which only...
Depression is a major global health concern expected to worsen by 2030. In 2019, 28 million individuals were affected depressive disorders. Dietary and supplemental vitamins show overall favorable preventative therapeutic effects on depression. B are crucial for neurological function mood regulation. Deficiencies in these linked Studies individual promise improving symptoms, particularly thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate. Vitamin C deficiency may heighten but its exact role not fully...
Persons living with dementia and informal caregivers are at a higher risk for malnutrition. Most not experts identifying nutritional complications of dementia. Therefore, we aimed to identify nutrition knowledge challenges related feeding caring persons develop meaningful intervention.
Multiple emerging lines of evidence indicate that the microbiome contributes to aging and cognitive health. However, roles distinct microbial components, such as viruses (virome) their interactions with bacteria (bacteriome), well metabolic pathways (metabolome) in relation function, remain poorly understood. Here, we present proof-of-concept results from a pilot study using datasets (n = 176) Microbiome Aging Gut Brain (MiaGB) consortium, demonstrating human virome signature significantly...
Sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) is a novel anthropometric that correlates more strongly with visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and cardiometabolic disease risk in adults compared body mass index (BMI). However, little research has evaluated this measurement children.To evaluate SAD as measure of other anthropometrics overweight/obese children.This study was cross-sectional subset analysis 8- to 12-year-old overweight/ obese children. BMI, waist circumference (WC), BMI z-score, percent fat...
This study examined sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) in children 12 to 18 years of age, which has been shown adult populations be a measure visceral fat. NHANES 2011-12 data were used (n = 1073) compare SAD known cardiovascular disease risk factors. Using linear regression, was directly associated with statistically significant changes systolic blood pressure (0.73; P < .0001), hemoglobin A1C (A1C) (0.02; .001), triglycerides (4.13; insulin (1.87; and inversely high-density lipoprotein...
Objective The objective of the study is to examine role characteristics proteins in maternal and weaning diets on risk metabolic syndrome male offspring. Methods Pregnant Wistar rats were allocated two groups (n = 12) fed AIN-93G based either intact protein-based diet (IPD) or mixed amino acid-based (AAD) from day 3 gestation throughout lactation. Male offspring weaned an IPD AAD for 18 weeks. Results In dams, group had lower body weight post-partum period higher pulse rate compared with...
Breast cancer risk, and risk of associated co-morbidities such as cardiovascular disease, is highest among overweight or obese women with a previous history breast cancer. The objective this study to test the effectiveness tailored nutrition, physical activity, behavioral weight management intervention for survivors against widely available commercial program. We hypothesize that an unique psychological, nutritional, needs will provide superior physiological psychological benefits compared...
The study's purpose was to evaluate an intervention reduce fruit and vegetable food neophobia influence attitudes behaviors among children using a four-month, non-experimental, before-and-after intervention. Participants were aged 5-11 years in school (IS) control (CS). Children offered or samples weekly utilizing school-specific psychosocial educational practices encourage participation. outcomes of interest included measured written survey-based scale (FNS), behavioral observations, oral...
Abstract Background It is well‐documented that nutrition plays a role in the development and progression of dementia. There have been numerous suggestions on how to combat this issue from pre‐diagnosis stage throughout as nutritional deficiencies malnutrition persist. Certain dietary patterns shown be protective against disease, namely MIND diet. limited data current intake individuals living with dementia therefore it important identify order improve outcomes. Method Researchers compared...
Abstract The prevalence of age-related cognitive decline and dementia is increasing in older adults, with limited prevention therapeutic options, tremendous burden on healthcare system. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) the most common disorder, for which no treatment available when its pathology fully developed. Although current FDA-approved therapies are proven to be effective delaying AD progression, however, inexpensive non-invasive markers routine laboratory examination poorly Studies indicate...
