High intake of added sugars is associated with excess energy and poorer diet quality. The objective this cross-sectional study (n = 16,806) was to estimate usual intakes the primary food sources across range (i.e., deciles) among U.S. children (2–8 years), adolescents teens (9–18 adults (≥19 years) using National Health Nutrition Examination (NHANES) data from 2009–2012. percent contributed by 14.3 ± 0.2% 16.2 13.1 suggesting highest are teens. However, foods/beverages that contribute were...

The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence use and types dietary supplements (DS) used by U.S. adults (≥19 years) sociodemographic characteristics: family income-to-poverty ratio (PIR), food security status, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation using NHANES 2011⁻2014 data (n = 11,024). DS ascertained via a home inventory retrospective 30-day questionnaire. Demographic socioeconomic differences related were evaluated univariate t statistic. Half (52%)...

DS were collected via an in-home interview; NCI method was used estimate distributions of two 24 h recalls for after which added. Food categorized USDA Household Security Survey Module. Adults living in insecure households had a higher prevalence...

Given the current prevalence of both cigarette use and obesity in United States, identification dietary patterns that reduce mortality risk are important public health priorities. The objective present study was to evaluate correlation between energy density, a marker for diet quality, population smokers, former never smokers.Data from nationally representative sample 5293 adults who participated 2013-2014 National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) were analyzed. Specific survey...

Background/Objectives: Eggs, a nutritious and affordable food, are not widely consumed by adolescents, who show many nutrient inadequacies. Modeling dietary substitutions with eggs their costs can provide insights while considering economic constraints. This study theoretically modeled the impact of substituting an egg for another protein source, quality cost, using exemplary menus application to adolescents. Methods: The substitution was in four different seven-day menus: (1) Healthy...

This analysis characterizes use of dietary supplements (DS) and motivations for DS among U.S. children (≤18 years) by family income level, food security status, federal nutrition assistance program participation using the 2011–2014 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey data. About one-third (32%) used DS, mostly multivitamin-minerals (MVM; 24%). MVM were associated with higher household level. was lowest in households participating Supplemental Assistance Program (SNAP; 20%) those...

Snacks, while widely consumed in the United States (U.S.), do not have a standard definition, complicating research to understand associations, if any, with weight status. Therefore, purpose of this study was examine association between snacking frequency and status using various definitions that exist scientific literature among U.S. adults (NHANES 2013-2016; ≥20y n = 9,711). Four event-based were operationalized including participant-defined snacks, eating events outside meals,...

The arms race between the distributors of malware and those seeking to provide defenses has so far favored former. Signature detection methods have been unable cope with onslaught new binaries aided by rapidly developing obfuscation techniques. Recent research focused on analysis low-level opcodes, both static dynamic, as a way detect malware. Although sometimes successful at detecting malware, still fails unravel obfuscated code, whereas dynamic can allow researchers investigate revealed...

Abstract Objective: To evaluate total usual intakes and biomarkers of micronutrients, overall dietary quality related health characteristics US older adults who were overweight or obese compared with a healthy weight. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Two 24-h recalls, nutritional objective subjective characteristic data analysed from the National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2014. We used Cancer Institute method to estimate distributions foods supplements for eleven...

Nutrition is critical to HIV mortality and morbidity. Improved treatment modalities have increased life expectancy of HIV-infected individuals. More than 1 million US adults are living with HIV, but little known about their nutritional status. We aimed characterize the status those use NHANES 2003–2014. The a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey population includes household interview, medical examination, two 24-h dietary recalls; weights applied make data representative....

Most Americans have dietary sodium intakes that far exceed recommendations. Given the association of high with hypertension, strategies to reduce are an important public health target. Glutamates, such as monosodium glutamate, represent a potential strategy overall while preserving product palatability; therefore, this project aimed model replacement glutamates. The National Cancer Institute method was used estimate current intakes, and resulting from glutamate substitution (25%-45%) in...

Sarcopenia, a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, can begin in the 4th decade life. Protein intake predicts strength among older adults, but knowledge similar associations middle-aged adults is lacking.We aimed to assess between protein mass, characterized by appendicular lean adjusted for BMI [in kg/m2 (ALMBMI)], represented handgrip (GSMAXBMI), adults.We analyzed cross-sectional data from 1209 men 1208 women aged 40-59 y 2011-2014 NHANES. per kilogram actual body weight...

ObjectivesTo characterize dietary supplement use among US children, including product type, motivations, user characteristics, and trends over time with a primary focus on non-vitamin/non-mineral supplements (NVNM).Study designOverall, NVNM, vitamin and/or mineral only (VM-only) use; motivations for in were examined children (≤19 years of age) using the National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2016 data (n = 42 510).ResultsBetween 1999 2016, overall VM-only all remained relatively...

Accurate and reliable methods to assess prevalence of use nutrient intakes from dietary supplements (DSs) are critical for research, clinical practice, public health monitoring. NHANES has been the primary source DS usage patterns using an in-home inventory with a frequency-based Prescription Medicine Questionnaire (DSMQ), but little is known regarding information obtained 24-h recalls (24HRs). The objectives this analysis were compare results 4 different measuring constructed two data...

Most dietary indices reflect foods and beverages do not include exposures from supplements (DS) that provide substantial amounts of micronutrients. A nutrient-based approach captures total intake inclusive DS can strengthen exposure assessment. We examined the construct criterion validity Total Nutrient Index (TNI) among US adults (≥19 years; nonpregnant or lactating). The TNI includes 8 underconsumed micronutrients identified by Dietary Guidelines for Americans: calcium; magnesium;...

Abstract We estimate nutrient intake from diet and total sources including dietary supplements (DS), quality of low‐income U.S. older adults (60+ years) using the 2007–2016 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. apply Cancer Institute method to determine usual/habitual distributions. Our results reveal that have poor quality. DS use reduces risk inadequacy but is not associated with statistically significantly better Future policies would change access nutrients through should...

Food classification is critical to the analysis of nutrients comprising foods reported in dietary assessment. Advances mobile and wearable sensors, combined with new image based methods, particularly deep learning approaches, have shown great promise improve accuracy food assess intake. However, these approaches are data-hungry their performances heavily reliant on quantity quality available datasets for training model. Existing not suitable fine-grained following nutrition as they lack...
