Abstract Objective To examine the association between breakfast consumption and CVD risk factors in European adolescents. Design Cross-sectional. Breakfast was assessed by statement ‘I often skip breakfast’ categorized into ‘consumer’, ‘occasional consumer’ ‘skipper’. Blood pressure, weight, height, waist circumference, skinfold thickness, total cholesterol (TC), HDL (HDL-C), LDL (LDL-C), TAG, insulin glucose were measured BMI, TC:HDL-C, LDL-C:HDL-C homeostasis model assessment–insulin...
Effective food policies in Europe require insight into the environmental impact of consumers' diet to contribute global nutrition security an environmentally sustainable way. The present study therefore aimed assess associated with dietary intake across four European countries, and explain sources variations by energy intake, demographics composition. Individual-level data were obtained from nationally-representative surveys, using two non-consecutive days a 24-h recall or record, Denmark...
To assess the iron status among European adolescents through selected biochemical parameters in a cross-sectional study performed 10 cities. Iron was defined utilising indicators. depletion as low serum ferritin (SF<15 μg/l). deficiency (ID) high-soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR>8.5 mg/l) plus depletion. anaemia (IDA) ID with haemoglobin (Hb) below WHO cutoff for age and sex: 12.0 g/dl girls boys aged 12.5–14.99 years 13.0 ⩾15 years. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay used analytical method...
To compare the efficacy of a diet rich in natural folate and two different folic acid supplementation protocols subjects with "moderate" hyperhomocysteinemia, also taking into account C677T polymorphism 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene.We performed 13 week open, randomized, double blind clinical trial on 149 free living persons mild hyperhomocyteinemia, daily 200 μg from folate-rich diet, [6S]5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), or placebo. Participants were stratified...
Introduction: To promote healthy food consumption patterns, information is required on the contribution of groups to total nutrient intake. The objective this paper identify main dietary sources nutrients in diet population Italy. Methods: Data collected through individual records within INRAN-SCAI 2005–06 survey were required. final sample included 3323 subjects aged 0.1–97.7 years. Results: percentage contributed by each category intake energy, fibre and 26 was calculated. Above 3 years...
There is wide evidence that regular consumption of whole grain foods may reduce the risk chronic diseases. The aim this work was to quantify intake grains and identify main dietary sources in Italian population.
Summary What is already known about this subject Although there no clear evidence of the role dairy consumption on cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) risk development in adults, several studies have suggested to a protective effect. Limited relationship between milk and products factors among adolescents. study adds Dairy was inversely associated with E uropean adolescent girls. Higher lower adiposity higher cardiorespiratory fitness both genders. Objective To identify those food groups best...
Meat replacers could play a role in achieving more plant-based diets, but their current consumption is limited. The present modelling study aimed to explore the nutritional and greenhouse gas emissions impacts of meat replacers. Using dietary surveys from Denmark, Czech Republic, Italy France (~6500 adults), we composed alternative diets which all observed diet (in grams) was substituted by similar use (with without fortification). Starting meat-replacement with improved adherence food-based...
The national food consumption surveys are crucial for monitoring the nutritional status of population, defining nutrition policies, estimating dietary exposure to substances present in food, and assessing environmental impact diet, among others. This study aims compare energy nutrient intakes self-administered 24-hour recall those obtained from interviewer-led recall, using FOODCONS software both cases. Methods: Thirty-nine adult volunteers sample was randomized A B groups: test method first...
The Inter Institutional Scientific Commission on Absolute Poverty (IISCAP) was established at the National Institute of Statistics (Istat) beginning 2022 with aim confirming validity methodology used since 2005 and improving models for estimating poverty incidence. Several issues were addressed, including calculation new version sub-component food basket, using data sources considering changes in habits lifestyles households Italy. This allowed a more realistic picture great variety foods...
The national food consumption surveys are crucial for monitoring the nutritional status of population but also time and resource consuming. growing use technology web-based platforms can help to reduce logistical burden cost conventional methods. This study aims compare self-administered 24 h recall those obtained from interviewer-led by examining items, group nutrient intakes using online software FOODCONS 1.0 in both cases. volunteers (39 adults) were randomized A B groups. On days, they...
Background: Fluid and water intake have received limited attention in epidemiological studies. The aim of this study was to compare the average daily consumption foods beverages adults selective samples European Union (EU) population order understand contribution these total (TWI), evaluate if EU adult consumes adequate amounts (TW) according current guidelines, illustrate real Europe. Methods: Three national dietary surveys been selected: Spain used Anthropometry, Intake, Energy Balance...
Abstract Objective: This study aimed to identify diets with improved nutrient quality and environmental impact within the boundaries of dietary practices. Design: We used Data Envelopment Analysis benchmark for adherence food-based guidelines (FBDG). then optimised these preferences, impact. Diets were evaluated using Nutrient Rich Diet score (NRD15.3), diet-related greenhouse gas emission (GHGE) a diet similarity index that quantified proportion food intake remained similar as compared...
Background Few surveys of food and nutrient intakes are conducted at the individual level in low- middle- income countries, whereas Household Consumption Expenditures Surveys (HCES) regularly carried out to monitor economic conditions. Because paucity individual-level data, there is interest using HCES aid design nutrition policies. Objective Data from 2001/02 Cape Verde were used assess household dietary context country's transition. Methods The survey included weighed measure- ments intake...
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate total water intake (TWI) from water, beverages and foods among Italian adults the elderly. Methods: Data 2607 elderly, aged 18–75 years last national food consumption survey, INRAN-SCAI 2005-06, were used evaluate TWI. 2005-06 survey conducted on a representative sample 3323 individuals 0.1 97.7 years. A 3-day semi-structured diary for participants record all foods, nutritional supplements. Results: On average, TWI 1.8 L men 1.7 women....
