Launched in November 2022, ChatGPT is an unprecedented publicly available and simple web interface that can "write" human-like texts. This artificial intelligence chatbot be used a variety of settings, including the field nutrition dietetics. article describes discusses possible opportunities risks using practice credentialed dietetics practitioners working public health, clinical academia, other settings.
Switzerland is a multilingual country located between Germany, France and Italy, which differ by dietary habits related outcomes. We explored differences in food consumption as well compliance to the Swiss food-based guidelines (FBDG) across German-, French-, Italian-speaking regions. The 2014-2015 nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted among stratified random sample of 2057 adults aged 18 75 years. Trained dietitians assessed via two non-consecutive 24-h recalls using international...
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends reducing free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake (TEI) due their potential implications in weight gain and dental caries. Our objectives were (1) estimate the total, added, sugars, (2) define main sugar sources, (3) evaluate adherence guidelines. first national nutrition survey 2014–2015 included non-institutional adults aged 18–75 years. Diet was assessed with two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls 2057 participants. Added...
Low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) and LCS-containing beverages have been proposed as appropriate substitutes for caloric sugars in recent years. In this Perspective, we highlight the findings from observational interventional studies, focusing on obesity, gut microbiome, cardiometabolic health. We provide public health actors healthcare professionals with an insightful overview of evidence to bridge gap between research practice.
Background/Objectives: Food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) are widely used in large epidemiological studies to assess diet and elucidate its impacts on health. However, they must be validated the target population before use. Methods: We assessed relative validity, reproducibility, usability of Swiss eFFQ, a web-based, 83-item food questionnaire, using convenience sample 177 adults (53.1% females, aged 18–75 years) from German- French-speaking regions Switzerland. The participants completed...
Evidence from experimental and observational studies is limited regarding the most favorable breakfast composition to prevent abdominal fat accumulation. We explored association between (a posteriori derived dietary patterns) obesity among regular eaters a Swiss population-based sample.The cross-sectional survey assessed diet using two 24-h recalls in nationally representative sample of adults aged 18 75 years. patterns principal component analysis based on intake 22 breakfast-specific food...
Food, a major determinant of health, is also at the heart environmental issues. Climate change, massive use and pollution water soil resources, declining biodiversity are worrying. The EAT-Lancet Commission developed "planetary health diet" in 2019 to provide food for world's population while respecting planet's boundaries. various benefits this diet, as reported scientific literature presented article. Large-scale studies show reduction cardiometabolic diseases, certain cancers mortality....
Women exhibit unique vulnerabilities in health, especially regarding mental health and neurodegenerative diseases. Biological, hormonal, metabolic differences contribute to sex-specific risks that remain underrepresented clinical studies. Diseases such as major depressive disorder (MDD) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are more prevalent women may be influenced by hormonal transitions, particularly during menopause. Chronic low-grade inflammation is emerging a shared mechanism underlying both...
This paper informs about the implementation of first trilingual Swiss nutrition pilot survey and lessons learnt in terms recruitment, participation, data collection feasibility, management. The population-based cross-sectional took place between June November 2013. Six trained dietitians interviewed 276 adults aged 18-75 years residing cantons Bern (German), Vaud (French) or Ticino (Italian). Food consumption was assessed with two non-consecutive computer-assisted 24-Hour Dietary Recalls...
High-income countries are experiencing an obesity epidemic that follows a socioeconomic gradient, affecting groups of lower status disproportionately. Recent clinical findings have suggested new perspectives for the prevention and treatment obesity, using personalized dietary approaches. Precision nutrition (PN), also called nutrition, has been developed to deliver more preventive practical advice than 'one-size-fits-all' guidelines. With interventions becoming increasingly plausible at...
Socioeconomically disadvantaged people are disproportionally more likely to develop obesity and obesity-related diseases. However, it remains unclear what extent diet quality contributes socioeconomic inequalities in obesity. We aimed assess the role of association between status (SES) Data originated from national nutrition survey, a cross-sectional sample adult Swiss population (N = 1860). used education income as proxies for SES; calculated Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) measure...
Diet has a major influence on the formation and management of kidney stones. However, stone formers' diet is difficult to capture in large population. Our objective was describe dietary intake formers Switzerland compare it nonstone formers.We used data from Swiss Kidney Stone Cohort (n = 261), multicentric cohort recurrent or incident with additional risk factors, control group computed tomography-scan proven 197). Dieticians conducted two consecutive 24-h recalls, using structured...
Caffeine is a natural psychostimulant with potentially positive impact on health when consumed in moderation and negative at high dose (> 400 mg/day). So far, no study has examined self-reported caffeine consumption Switzerland. Our objectives were to determine 1) the per adult, 2) main sources of intake Swiss diet, 3) timing during day. We used data from 2014-2015 national nutrition survey menuCH (adults aged 18 75 years old, n = 2057, weighted 4,627,878), consisting two 24-hour dietary...

Digital dietary assessment devices could help overcome the limitations of traditional tools to assess intake in clinical and/or epidemiological studies. We evaluated accuracy automated app MyFoodRepo (MFR) against controlled reference values from weighted food diaries (WFD). MFR's capability identify, classify and analyze content 189 different records was assessed using Cohen uniform kappa coefficients linear regressions. MFR identified 98.0% ± 1.5 all edible components not affected by...
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are associated with lower diet quality and several non-communicable diseases. Their consumption varies between countries/regions of the world. We aimed to describe UPFs in adults aged 18–75 years living Switzerland. analysed data from national food survey conducted among 2085 participants 18 75 years. Foods beverages resulting two 24-h recalls were classified as or non-UPFs according NOVA classification, categorized into groups, linked Swiss Food Composition...
