Effects of Exercise on Acute Kidney Injury Biomarkers and the Potential Influence of Fluid Intake
Acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence (diagnosed by changes in serum creatinine [Cr]) following prolonged endurance events has been reported to be anywhere from 4 to 85%, and hypohydration may contribute to this. Whilst an increase in serum Cr indicates impaired kidney function, this might be influenced by muscle damage. Therefore, the use of other AKI biomarkers which can detect renal tubular injury may be more appropriate. The long-term consequences of AKI are not well understood, but there are some potential concerns of an increased subsequent risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, this brief review explores the...

Will We Soon Run Out of Water?
In 2000, the World population was 6.2 billion; it reached 7 billion in 2012 and should reach 9.5 billion ( ±0.4) in 2050 and 11 billion (±1.5) in 2100, according to UN projections. The trend after 2100 is still one of global demographic growth, but after 2060, Africa would be the only continent where the population would still increase. The amount of water consumed annually to produce the food necessar y to meet the needs varies greatly between countries, from about 600 to 2,500 m3/year per capita, depending on their wealth, their food habits (particularly meat consumption), and the percentage of food waste they generate...

Drinking Water and CKD of Unknown Etiology in Sri Lanka: A Community Perspective
This study examin es (a) the people’s perception and experience that polluted drinking water is the cause of CKDu, (b) how the government responded to people’s demands for potable water, and (c) the impact of the use of alternative drinking water sources on the health of CKDu patients and their families, and on t he progression of the disease in CKDu patients. Data were collected in 2013 and 2019 in Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa districts in North Central Province of Sri Lanka. People’s agitation, activism, and lobbying, together with the media’s work in bringing the issue of polluted water to the forefro nt of poli...

The Psychology of Desire and Implications for Healthy Hydration
This article discusses the cognitive mechanisms underlying the motivation to consume sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and outlines implications for developing healthy hydration habits. While the detrimental health consequences of consuming SSBs are well understood, the psychological processes underlying the motivation to consume them are understudied. To address this gap, the current article applies a grounded cognition theory of desire and motivated behaviour, which can be used as a framework to understand and potentially change the motivation for SSBs and healthier alternatives, such as water. The grounded cognition theo...

A Journey through the Early Evidence Linking Hydration to Metabolic Health
The idea that water intake or hydration may play an intrinsic, independent role in modulating metabolic disease risk is relatively recent. Here, we outline the journey from early experimental works to more recent evidence linking water and hydration to metabolic health. It has been known for decades that individuals with existing metabolic dysfunction experience challenges to body water balance and have elevated arginine vasopressin (AVP),a key hormone regulating body fluid homeostasis. Later, intervention studies demonstrated that altering fluid balance in these individuals could worsen their condition, suggesting that hy...

Total and Sn-2 Fatty Acid Pro file in Human Colostrum and Mature Breast Milk of Women Living in Inland and Coastal Areas of China
Conclusions: The results indicate the variability in the FA profile of HM between regions and lactation stages. The contents of polyunsaturated FAs and sn-2 FAs, especially palmitic acid, should be paid more attention when optimizing infant formula.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Additional Value of Preoperative Albumin for Surgical Risk Stratification among Colorectal Cancer Patients
Conclusions: Preoperative measurement of serum albumin appears to be essential to identify patients at risk for complications after colorectal cancer surgery. Clinical evaluation through BMI and weight loss alone may underestimate surgery-associated risks in the USA.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Relationship between Low Pretreatment Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and Poor Tolerability of Azacitidine in Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Conclusions: These results indicate that predicting treatment completion and adverse events in patients with MDS prior to AZA treatment is important. This study suggests GNRI may be a valuable nutritional assessment tool for determining tolerability and OS of AZA treatment.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)

Front-Of-Pack Nutrition Labelling: A Position Statement of the European Academy of Paediatrics and the European Childhood Obesity Group
Background: Due to the growing risk of obesity and related diseases in the population of children, effective preventive measures are of great importance. Front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labelling may contribute to health promotion by increasing consumer awareness on the nutritional qualities of packaged foods and purchasing decisions, and it may stimulate food providers to improve the composition of products.Summary: Appropriate labelling should enable customers to make healthy choices quickly and intuitively.Key Messages: The European Academy of Paediatrics and the European Childhood Obesity Group makes an appeal to Europea...

Impact of Vitamin D and Vitamin D Receptor on Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases in Children and Adolescents with Obesity in Sichuan, China: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: Obese children with low vitamin D levels, who are carriers of the C allele of theFokI gene, have lower levels of several biochemical markers of CVD risk, when compared to those who were TT homozygous. Obese children and adolescents may benefit from vitamin D supplementation, terms of lowering their CVD risk, particularly when they are carriers of the C allele of theFokI gene.Ann Nutr Metab (Source: Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism)
