<h3>Importance</h3> Changes in the economy, nutrition policies, and food processing methods can affect dietary macronutrient intake diet quality. It is essential to evaluate trends intake, sources, quality inform policy makers. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate among US adults. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Serial cross-sectional analysis of nationally representative 24-hour recall data from 9 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey cycles (1999-2016) adults aged 20 years or...
The health benefits and risks of dietary supplement use are controversial.
Background: The concentration of circulating total homocysteine is a sensitive marker inadequate folate and vitamin B12 status. Elevated concentrations are associated with an increased risk for vascular disease. Objective: To identify reference ranges serum in U.S. residents quantify the contribution to high concentrations. Design: Cross-sectional prevalence study. Setting: United States. Patients: A nationally representative sample 3563 male participants 4523 female 12 years age or older...
To confirm reports that 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) deficiency is associated with an increased risk of joint space narrowing or cartilage loss in osteoarthritis (OA).We measured 25(OH)D levels subjects from 2 longitudinal cohort studies, the Framingham Osteoarthritis Study and Boston Knee (BOKS). In first, weight-bearing anteroposterior (AP) lateral knee radiographs were obtained on 1993-1994 again 2002-2005 (mean interval 9 years); blood was drawn for measurement vitamin status 1996-2000....
Background:Identifying nutrition- and lifestyle-based risk factors for cognitive impairment dementia may aid future primary prevention efforts. Objective:We aimed to examine the association of serum vitamin D levels with incident all-cause dementia, clinically characterized Alzheimer's disease (AD), MRI markers brain aging, neuropsychological function. Methods:Framingham Heart Study participants had baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) concentrations measured between 1986 2001. Vitamin...
Findings from existing prospective observational studies on the protective associations of flavonoid intake and risk Alzheimer disease related dementias (ADRD) are inconsistent largely due to limitations these studies. To examine relation between total 6 classes dietary ADRD (AD) while addressing earlier We used data Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort exams 5 through 9. Participants were ADRD-free with a valid FFQ at baseline. Flavonoid intakes updated each exam represent cumulative...
Public interest in popular diets is increasing, particular whole-food plant-based (WFPB) and vegan diets. Whether these diets, as theoretically implemented, meet current food-based nutrient-based recommendations has not been evaluated detail. Self-identified WFPB diet followers the Adhering to Dietary Approaches for Personal Taste (ADAPT) Feasibility Survey reported their most frequently used sources of information on nutrition cooking. Thirty representative days meal plans were created each...
Objective: Evidence from observational studies has suggested that carbohydrate quality rather than absolute intake is associated with greater risk of chronic diseases. The aim this study was to examine the relationship between and dietary glycemic index several cardiovascular disease factors.Methods: We examined cross-sectional associations total (GI) intakes factors (CVD) in a sample 2,941 Framingham Offspring Participants. CVD included waist, blood pressure, lipids, fasting insulin,...
Greater whole grain (WG) consumption is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, few prospective studies have examined WG or refined (RG) intake and intermediate cardiometabolic factors. We the longitudinal association between RG on changes in waist circumference (WC); fasting HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose concentrations; blood pressure. Subjects were participants Framingham Offspring cohort study [n = 3121; mean ± SD baseline age: 54.9 0.2 y; BMI...
