Poor dietary habits have been implicated in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); however, little is known about role specific patterns NAFLD. We examined prospective associations between and NAFLD a population-based cohort adolescents.Participants Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study completed food frequency questionnaire at 14 years had ultrasound 17 (n=995). Healthy were identified using factor analysis all participants received z-score for these...
The importance of vitamin D intake to nutritional status is a corollary sunshine deficit. There dose-response serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) concentrations total in persons who do not receive UVB exposure. This updated summary intakes and sources adults children focuses on data from North America Europe. We explore the evidence that are inadequate with reference Institute Medicine (IOM) Dietary Reference Intakes. Due mandatory fortification, usual higher US Canada than most Europe,...
To investigate the association between serum vitamin D levels and myopia in young adults.A total of 946 individuals participating 20-year follow-up Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study were included this study. Ethnicity, parental myopia, education status ascertained by self-reported questionnaire. A comprehensive ophthalmic examination was performed, including postcycloplegic autorefraction conjunctival UV autofluorescence photography. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃)...
Vitamin D deficiency is recognised as a public health problem globally, and high prevalence of has previously been reported in Australia. This study details the vitamin nationally representative sample Australian adults aged ≥25 years, using an internationally standardised method to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) concentrations identifies demographic lifestyle factors associated with deficiency. We used data from 2011-2013 Health Survey (n 5034 complete information on potential...
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of malnutrition and investigate nutritional issues in a sample older people living residential aged care facilities (RACFs). Method: This study forms descriptive component pretest post‐test designed conducted eight RACFs. The Subject Global Assessment tool was used to 350 residents. Results: Nearly 70% residents were women 79.4% all classified as high care. Half well nourished (50.5%) with 43.1% moderately malnourished 6.4% severely malnourished....
Objective: Results from studies examining associations between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and depressive symptoms are equivocal. We investigated the relationship 25(OH)D of depression, anxiety stress in a cross-sectional analysis population-based sample young adults participating Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study. Methods: Participants provided blood at 20-year follow-up (March 2010-April 2012) for measurement concentrations. Mental health were...
Current dietary supplement use in Australia is not well described. We investigated the prevalence and predictors of Australian population (n = 19,257) using data from 2014–2015 National Health Survey. reported by sex age group independent adults, adolescents, children multiple logistic regression models. A total 43.2% adults (34.9% males, 50.3% females), 20.1% adolescents (19.7% 20.6% 23.5% (24.4% 22.5% females) used at least one previous two weeks. The most commonly supplements were...
To describe vitamin D intakes in children and teenagers the contribution from supplements fortified foods addition to base diet.Analysis of 7 d weighed food records collected during Children's Teens' National Nutrition Surveys Ireland. Food composition data for were updated international analytical sources.Nationally representative cross-sectional dietary surveys.Children (n 594; 5-12 years) 441; 13-17 years).Median 1.9, 2.1 2.4 μg/d 5-8-, 9-12- 13-17-year-olds, respectively. The prevalence...
Measured serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations vary depending on the type of assay used and specific laboratory undertaking analysis, impairing accurate assessment vitamin status. We investigated differences in measured at three laboratories (laboratories A B using an based liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry C a DiaSorin Liaison assay), against that is certified to standard reference method developed by National Institute Standards Technology Ghent University (referred as...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (s25[OH]D) concentrations are both associated with adiposity insulin resistance (IR) thus may be pathogenically linked. We aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin deficiency in adolescents NAFLD investigate prospective cross-sectional associations between s25[OH]D NAFLD.Participants population-based West Australian Pregnancy (Raine) Cohort had seasonally adjusted s25(OH)D determined at ages 14 then 17 years. was...
Vitamin D deficiency is a global concern. Much research has concentrated on the endogenous synthesis of vitamin in human skin following exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280-315 nm). In many regions world there insufficient UV-B during winter months for adequate production, and even when sufficient radiation, lifestyles concerns about risks sun may lead deficiency. these situations, dietary intake from foods or supplements important maintaining optimal status. Some foods, such as...
Purpose People with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) want disease-specific dietary advice to reduce the confusion around diet. This study used co-design principles develop an online nutrition education program for pwMS.Methods Mixed-methods (multiphase sequential design). Phase 1: survey (n = 114 pwMS) explore preferred content and characteristics of a draft program. 2: feedback on from stakeholders (two meetings; n 10 pwMS (MS) health professionals) workshops; 6) produce full prototype. 3:...
Background: A pro-inflammatory diet has been posited to induce chronic inflammation within the central nervous system (CNS), and multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of CNS. Objective: We examined whether Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII ®) ) scores are associated with measures MS progression activity. Methods: cohort a first clinical diagnosis CNS demyelination was followed annually (10 years, n = 223). At baseline, 5- 10-year reviews, DII energy-adjusted (E-DII TM were...
