Osteoporosis represent a widespread public health problem. The management and prevention of osteoporosis related low energy fractures start with correct lifestyle proper nutrition. Several different nutrients are essential for bone mineral metabolism, especially calcium. Nevertheless, well-balanced nutrition, such as Mediterranean diet (MD), proved to be beneficial several chronic diseases also fragility resulted lower in the area. A prospective observational study population two hundred...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBDs), including Crohn’s (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC) are complex diseases with a multifactorial etiology, associated genetic, dietetic, other environmental risk factors. Children IBD at increased for nutritional inadequacies, resulting from decreased oral intake, restrictive dietary patterns, malabsorption, enhanced nutrient loss, surgery, medications. Follow-up of children should routinely include evaluation specific deficits dietetic and/or supplementation...
Abstract Background Vitamin D is involved in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism, although its extra-skeletal actions are also well-known. Low serum 25(OH)D levels common both adults children worldwide. Methods The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the distribution a cohort healthy Italian school-age children, aged 5–10 years, relationship determinants vitamin deficiency such as season, BMI, gender, age ethnicity. Results mean 25(OH) level 28.2 ng/mL; prevalence...
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) tend to self-modify their dietary habits according activity and symptoms. This study aimed assess the adequacy of usual diet in Italian children IBD comparison a control group recommended allowances (RDA).
Pregnancy is a delicate phase in woman's life that could become risk factor for osteoporosis pregnant women who do not meet recommended nutrient standards, especially calcium and vitamin D. Mediterranean diet (MD) has been demonstrated to be beneficial adequate intake. This article aims evaluate the MD adherence dietary intake group of Italian investigate how these are linked each other fast glycemia at first trimester pregnancy. Two hundred seventy-nine were recruited gynecology units two...
Abstract Background and Aims Diet is a key element in the pathogenesis treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Also, oxidative stress (OS) involved IBD onset evolution. Our group conducting multicenter trial (the OxIBDiet study, NCT0451301) to explore OS imbalance both children adults with IBD, compared matched controls, genetic variants genes implicated effects an Antioxidant diet (AoD) on these patients. Preliminary results have shown great total antioxidant capacity healthy...
Abstract Background The multicentre OXIBDiet trial (NCT04513015) has already demonstrated a redox imbalance in IBD children compared to adults and controls. second part of the study aimed evaluate impact an Antioxidant Diet (AoD) comparison Mediterranean (MD) patients. Clinical outcomes nutritional data are reported. Methods with mild symptoms/remission were randomly assigned AoD (polyphenols intake >650 mg/die) or MD for 12 weeks. In paediatric sample Free (FD) group was enrolled. At...
Abstract Background Redox imbalance is involved in several aspects of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The OxIBDiet (NCT04513015) a multicentre, 2-phases project involving IBD children and adults with the following aims: 1. To evaluate oxidative status subjects. 2. estimate effects an antioxidant diet patients. Preliminary results are shown this abstract. Methods total capacity, lipid peroxidation degree protein oxidation were measured respectively through ferric reducing ability plasma...
Abstract Background Oxidative stress takes part in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The OxIBDiet (NCT04513015) is a multicentre ongoing project designed to evaluate oxidative status IBD children and adults estimate effects an antioxidant diet subgroup patients. Methods total capacity, measured through ferric reducing ability plasma (FRAP, µmol/equivalent FeSO4) oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC, trolox equivalents), lipid peroxidation, as serum levels...
Facebook (FB) is the most popular online networking platform. There are several FB pages dedicated to spreading awareness about Celiac disease (CD). To get latest information, a huge number of CD patients follow (CD-FB) pages. Such frequently post beneficial information. However, very less known if they provide appropriate information patients. We conducted this study know CD-FB spread misleading from three celiac-influenced countries were explored using platform and Google search engine....
Abstract (1) Background : Vitamin D is involved in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism, although its extra-skeletal actions are also well-known. Low serum 25(OH)D levels common both adults children worldwide. (2) Methods the purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine distribution a cohort healthy Italian school-age children, aged 5-10 years, relationship determinants vitamin deficiency such as season, BMI, gender, age ethnicity. (3) Results mean 25(OH) level 28.2 ng/mL;...
Purpose: To update knowledge on dietary calcium intake in the Italian population, focusing subjects of any age over 18 years. Methods: Data were collected through consecutive surveys, carried out from 2013 to 2018 several cities, during screening events intended promote bone health among population. A Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), validated for assessment and nutrients adults, was administered estimate all groups. Results: Out a total 1821 FFQs filled in, 1801 provided information...
