Association of Largest Meal Timing and Eating Frequency with Body Mass Index and Obesity
The circadian pattern of eating behaviors has garnered increasing interest as a strategy for obesity prevention and weight loss. It is believed that the benefits stem from aligning food intake with the body's natural daily rhythms. However, the existing body of evidence is limited in scale and scope and there has been insufficient evaluation of temporal eating behaviors, such as the specific time of day in which the highest calorie consumption occurs, meal frequency, and distribution. This research aims to explore the association between the timing of the largest meal of the day and eating frequency with Body Mass Index (B...

Vitamin Supplements: Are They Associated With Immune Status?
Vitamins are essential nutrients, taken in very small amounts (0.01 to 100 mg a day). Associations between vitamin supplement intake or status and the immune system are far from consensual. Our aim was to understand the association between vitamin supplements and the immune system, namely regarding lymphocyte count and immunoglobulin levels against infectious pathogens.

Association between adductor pollicis muscle thickness and low skeletal muscle mass index in community-dwelling older women undergoing outpatient rehabilitation
The accuracy of sarcopenia determination using adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) has been reported. However, the relationship between APMT and low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) is unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between APMT and low SMI and APMT performance to diagnose low SMI in community-dwelling older women undergoing outpatient rehabilitation.

The association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores and c-reactive protein (CRP) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a general population cohort
Although there is extensive literature showing the ability of the dietary inflammation index (DII ®) to predict concentrations of plasma inflammatory markers, few studies are testing the association between DII scores and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Considering the high prevalence of NAFLD and its complications, we conducted a validation study of DII scores and examined its associ ation with NAFLD in the general adult population of Iran.

Development of an Electronic Food Ordering System and a la Carte Menu: Enhancing Patient Involvement in Nutritional Care
Malnutrition is a significant issue in hospitals, leading to weight loss and reduced quality of life for patients. Hospital food plays a crucial role in preventing malnutrition, especially for patients with high nutritional risk or malnourishment. However, barriers to providing adequate nutritional care include a lack of tools to record patients' nutritional intake and a limited understanding of energy and protein content in hospital menus.

The effect of three years of vitamin D supplementation on erectile dysfunction: results from the randomized placebo-controlled D-Health Trial
Erectile dysfunction is common among older men and has been associated with low serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D concentration. However, this association may be due to uncontrolled confounding, and there is a paucity of evidence from interventional studies. We aimed to examine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the prevalence of erectile dysfunction, in an exploratory analysis using data from a large randomized controlled trial.

Epidemiology of home enteral and parenteral nutrition in adults: comprehensive national data
Although HEN and HPN are important parts of home healthcare, lack of information about the number of patients concerned is surprising. This educational paper presents a review of literature concerning published national data on epidemiology of both HEN and HPN, for different countries. It compares these publications with an exhaustive retrospective observational study on our national adult population for the year 2019. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)
