Objectives There is now good evidence that central obesity carries more health risks compared with total assessed by body mass index (BMI). It has therefore been suggested waist circumference (WC), a proxy for obesity, should be included BMI in ‘matrix’ to categorise risk. We wanted compare how the adult UK population classified using such another waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), boundary value of 0.5. Further, we wished cardiometabolic risk factors adults ‘healthy’ divided according whether...
This project examined the relative significance of dietary sugars, toothbrushing frequency and social class as predictors caries experience (caries vs. no caries) among 1,450 British pre–school children who took part in National Diet Nutrition Survey. cross–sectional survey was based on a representative sample aged 1.5–4.5 years studied 1992/3. Children were classified into four groups according to habit. Diet/caries associations for biscuits cakes, sugar confectionery, chocolate...
There is now overwhelming scientific evidence that central obesity, as opposed to total obesity assessed by body mass index (BMI), associated with the most health risks and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) a simple proxy for this fat distribution. This Opinion reviews use of WHtR predict mortality its association morbidity. A boundary value 0.5 has been proposed become widely used. translates into screening message `Keep your waist less than half height'. Not only does appear be suitable all...
Objective and Method: To analyse data from the nationally representative National Diet Nutrition Survey (NDNS) collected in 2000/2001 to investigate how BMI two proxy indicators of central fat distribution, namely waist circumference height ratio (WHtR), are associated with each other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Results: Screening health by alone would 'miss' 35% men 14% women who within normal range (18.5–25 kg/m2) but have defined WHtR > 0.5. In total population this equates...
Fractured neck of femur occurs mostly in the older female population and is generally caused by falls. Malnutrition has been postulated as a factor that increases tendency to suffer Nutritional status hospital patients admitted for emergency surgery fractured recruited (n 75), was compared with an age-matched independent-living group females attending one three local day centres 50). Dietary assessment undertaken using consecutive 24 h dietary recalls and, hip fracture group, completed menu...
The consensus workshop, organised on behalf of the Food Standards Agency, was convened to recommend most appropriate and secure method for measuring vitamin D status in UK. Workshop participants (the Expert Panel) were invited basis expertise current 25-hydroxyvitamin (25OHD) assays, or nutrition metabolism detailed knowledge experience National Diet Nutrition Survey (NDNS). A decision support matrix, which set out particular criteria by different options scored evaluated, used structure...
Various recommendations exist for total water intake (TWI), yet it is seldom reported in dietary surveys. Few studies have examined how real-life consumption patterns, including beverage type, variety and timing relate to TWI energy (EI). We analysed weighed records from the National Diet Nutrition Survey of 1724 British adults aged 19–64 years (2000/2001) investigate patterns over 24 hrs 7 days associations with EI. was calculated nutrient composition each item food drink compared reference...
Abstract A consensus workshop on low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) was held in November 2018 where seventeen experts (the panel) discussed three themes identified as key to the science and policy of LCS: (1) weight management glucose control; (2) consumption, safety perception; (3) nutrition policy. The aims were identify reliable facts LCS, suggest research gaps propose future actions. panel agreed that LCS is demonstrated by a substantial body evidence reviewed regulatory current levels even...
A scientific workshop held in the UK explored potential contribution of traditional dried fruits to public health, identified gaps evidence and addressed priorities for research. Presentations considered categorisation composition fruits; fruit gastrointestinal health; polyphenol content their appetite relation psychology snacking obesity; dental health including its role as a snack; conflicts advice fruits. round table discussion "five day" vegetable intake fibre intake, whether have...
We investigated associations between body mass index (BMI) and intake of non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES) caloric soft drinks using weighed 7-day food records, nutrient intakes, BMI measurements physical activity (PA) diaries from the UK National Dietary Nutritional Survey Young People (n=1,294 aged 7-18 years). NMES (excluding 100% fruit juice) were quantified by their contribution to energy intake. z-scores calculated reference curves International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) cut-off values...
Purpose Advice about the role of eggs in diet has changed several times over decades. The purpose this paper is to evaluate published evidence reporting associations between egg consumption, nutrients and health. Design/methodology/approach scientific literature was searched using Medline key words relevant nutrients. In addition, a new secondary analysis UK National Diet Nutrition Survey (NDNS) undertaken examine nutritional health differences consumers non‐consumers eggs. Findings Eggs are...
Abstract The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has acknowledged the value of waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) as an indicator ‘early health risk’. We used recent UK data to explore whether classification based on WHtR identifies more adults at cardiometabolic risk than ‘matrix’ BMI waist circumference, currently screening. Data from Survey England (4112 aged 18+ years) were identify risk, indicated by raised glycated Hb, dyslipidaemia hypertension. HbA1c,...
Restriction of both dietary fat and extrinsic sugars is standard advice for weight reduction. It has been suggested that foods, diets, combine high levels particularly contribute to overconsumption. Weighed data on 1087 men 1110 women aged 16-64 who took part in the Dietary Nutritional Survey British Adults were examined evidence this hypothesis. Consumption main sugary fatty foods (cakes, biscuits, confectionery puddings) averaged 12% energy men, 14.9% women. Intake these (as a proportion...
Breakfast cereals are nutrient-dense foods that also low in fat. They could theoretically contribute to lowering the percentage energy from fat diet whilst enhancing intake of certain nutrients. This project is based on a further analysis dietary data (seven day weighed intakes) 2705 British schoolchildren (DoH, 1989) and examines relationship between breakfast cereal consumption total daily nutri ent intakes. The children were grouped according amount consumed per (none; less than 20 g;...
To examine associations between breakfast cereal consumption and the dietary habits, nutrient intakes nutritional status of young people, considering both adequacy safety issues (fortification).Using archived data from 1688 children in (British) National Diet Nutrition Survey Young People aged 4 to 18 years, were compared across thirds (T1 T3), adjusted for age energy intake. Cereals provided on average 2%, 6% 12% T1, T2 T3, respectively, boys; 1%, 4% 10%, girls.Intakes iron, B vitamins...
Data files of the food intakes 2705 schoolchildren surveyed in 1983 (DoH, 1989a) were reanalysed to provide an estimate total intake sugars and major sources diet. The relationships between sugars, nutrients nutrient density examined by comparing tertiles, firstly (g/day) subsequently percentage energy from sugars. results are presented separately for boys girls two age‐groups (10–11 years 14–15 years). estimated mean (123 g/day, s.d. 42 g) was equivalent 23% dietary energy. Major...
It is unclear whether consumption of low-calorie beverages (LCB) leads to compensatory sweet foods, thus reducing benefits for weight control or diet quality. This analysis investigated associations between beverage and energy intake quality adults in the UK National Diet Nutrition Survey (NDNS) (2008–2011; n = 1590), classified into: (a) non-consumers soft drinks (NC); (b) LCB consumers; (c) sugar-sweetened (SSB) (d) consumers both (BB), based on 4-day dietary records. Within-person data...
Concern has been expressed that high dietary concentrations of non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES) may potentially compromise nutrient intakes in population groups with low energy (Department Health, 1991). The objective the present study was to examine data from National Diet and Nutrition Survey Children Aged 1.5 4.5 years (Gregory et al. 1995) for evidence an inverse association between NMES micronutrient intakes, if possible quantify a level NMES-energy at which may, theoretically, be...
Studies suggest that eating breakfast (as opposed to skipping breakfast) has nutrition and health benefits. However, it is not altogether clear whether these benefits are attributes of as a meal or meals include cereals. To explore associations with nutrient intakes according the type chosen, we extracted data on all foods consumed at time (0600–1000 h) from individual weighed food records respondents in National Diet Nutrition Survey adults aged 19-to-64-years. Seven days were available for...
