Abstract Evidence on what people eat globally is limited in scope and rigour, especially as it relates to children adolescents. This impairs target setting investment evidence-based actions support healthy sustainable diets. Here we quantified global, regional national dietary patterns among adults, by age group, sex, education urbanicity, across 185 countries between 1990 2018, the basis of data from Global Dietary Database project. Our primary measure was Alternative Healthy Eating Index,...
The global burden of diet-attributable type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not well established. This risk assessment model estimated T2D incidence among adults attributable to direct and body weight-mediated effects 11 dietary factors in 184 countries 1990 2018. In 2018, suboptimal intake these was be 14.1 million (95% uncertainty interval (UI), 13.8-14.4 million) incident cases, representing 70.3% (68.8-71.8%) new cases globally. Largest burdens were insufficient whole-grain (26.1% (25.0-27.1%)),...
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are associated with cardiometabolic diseases and social inequities. For most nations, recent estimates trends of intake not available; nor variation by education or urbanicity. We investigated SSB intakes among adults between 1990 2018 in 185 countries, stratified subnationally age, sex, education, rural/urban residence, using data from the Global Dietary Database. In 2018, mean global was 2.7 (8 oz = 248 grams) servings/week (95% UI 2.5-2.9) (range: 0.7...
Abstract The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, an updated comprehensive assessment the global burden attributable to SSBs remains scarce. Here we estimated SSB-attributable T2D CVD burdens across 184 countries in 1990 2020 globally, regionally nationally, incorporating data from Global Dietary Database, jointly stratified by age, sex, educational attainment urbanicity. In 2020, 2.2 million (95%...
The aim of the study was to assess whether perinatal factors are associated with risk asthma in childhood a register-based, nested case-control Finland. All children born between January 1, 1996, and April 30, 2004, who were entitled special reimbursement for antiasthmatic drugs (i.e., had diagnosed by 2006 purchased inhaled corticosteroids or montelukast at least once), identified (n = 21,038). For each case, one matched control child selected. associations factors, derived from Finnish...
To examine the association between chronotype and timing of energy macronutrient intakes in adults.The study sample included 1,854 participants from National FINRISK 2007 FINDIET studies, aged 25 to 74 years. Diet was assessed with 48-hour dietary recalls. Chronotype a shortened version Horne Östberg's Morningness-eveningness Questionnaire. Associations macronutrients morning (by 10 am) evening (after 8 pm) were analyzed linear regression ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test.In...

Background: Due to vitamin D intake below recommendation (10 µg/day) and low (<50 nmol/l) serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D) concentration in Finnish population, the fortification of liquid dairy products with 0.5 µg D/100 g fat spreads 10 µg/100 started Finland December 2002. In 2010, was doubled. The aim this study investigate whether status have improved among adults as a consequence these nutrition policy actions. A further impact supplement use total intake.

Dietary intakes of plant lignans have been hypothesized to be inversely associated with the risk developing cardiovascular disease and cancer. Earlier studies were based on a Finnish lignan database (Fineli(®)) two precursors, secoisolariciresinol (SECO) matairesinol (MAT). More recently, Dutch database, including SECO MAT newly recognized precursors lariciresinol (LARI) pinoresinol (PINO), was compiled.
