Dietary protein intake in midlife in relation to healthy aging - results from the prospective Nurses' Health Study cohort
CONCLUSIONS: Dietary protein intake, especially plant protein, in midlife, is associated with higher odds of healthy aging and with several domains of positive health status in a large cohort of female nurses.PMID:38309825 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.11.010 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Gut microbiota-derived secondary bile acids, bile acids receptor polymorphisms, and risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes: a cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: A higher proportion of unconjugated SBAs, especially DCA, is linearly associated with a higher risk of CVD among people with newly diagnosed T2D. Our findings support the potential role of gut microbiota-derived SBAs in cardiovascular health in individuals with T2D.PMID:38309826 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.08.023 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Adherence to the Planetary Health Diet Index and correlation with nutrients of public health concern: an analysis of NHANES 2003-2018
CONCLUSIONS: Although there have been positive changes over the past 20 y, there is substantial room for improving the health and sustainability of the United States diet. Shifting diets toward EAT-Lancet recommendations would improve nutrient adequacy for iron, fiber, and potassium. Policy action is needed to support healthier, more sustainable diets in the United States and globally.PMID:38309827 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.10.018 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Peak timing of slowest growth velocity among young children coincides with highest ambient temperatures in Burkina Faso: a longitudinal study
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that child health and development are more affected by high temperatures than by other aspects of climatic seasonality such as rainfall. Emerging shifts in climatic conditions will pose challenges to optimal growth, highlighting the importance of changes that optimize the timing of nutrition interventions and address environmental growth-limiting conditions.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02071563.PMID:38309828 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.09.021 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Sustained effects of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements provided during the first 1000 days on child growth at 9-11 y in a randomized controlled trial in Ghana
CONCLUSIONS: There is a sustained impact of prenatal and postnatal SQ-LNS on linear growth among female children and children whose mothers were not overweight.

Exposure to Chinese famine in early life and height across 2 generations: a longitudinal study based on the China Health and Nutrition Survey

SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and their neutralizing capacity against live virus in human milk after COVID-19 infection and vaccination: prospective cohort studies
CONCLUSIONS: SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination (type and interval) impacted milk antibodies; however, antibody presence did not consistently predict live virus neutralization. Although human milk is unequivocally the best way to nourish infants, guidance on protection to infants following maternal infection/vaccination may require more nuanced messaging. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT04453969 and NCT04453982.PMID:38309831 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.10.008 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

The effects of inulin-type fructans on cardiovascular disease risk factors: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: ITF may reduce low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and body weight. However, due to low to very low CoE, further well-designed and executed trials are needed to confirm these effects.PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42019136745.PMID:38309832 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.10.030 (Source: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition)
