Effects of the Chinese Heart-Healthy Diet (Sichuan Cuisine Version) on the 10-year Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Vascular Age: A Randomized Controlled Feeding Trial
Br J Nutr. 2023 Nov 6:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114523002416. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSichuan cuisine was previously fitted into the Chinese Heart-Healthy Diet (CHH) trial to verify the antihypertensive effect. Whether the modified Sichuan diet lessens cardiovascular disease (CVD) is not fully explored. We aimed to estimate the effects of the Sichuan version of CHH diet (CHH diet-SC) on the 10-year risk of CVD and vascular age. A single-blinded randomized controlled feeding trial was conducted. General CVD prediction model was used in manners of intention-to-treat and per-protocol set. After a 7-day run-in period, 53 p...

Causal effects of dietary habits on COVID-19 susceptibility, hospitalisation, and severity: A comprehensive Mendelian randomisation study
This study aimed to investigate the causal effect of diet habits on COVID-19 susceptibility, hospitalisation, and severity. We used data from a large-scale diet dataset and the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative to estimate causal relationships using Mendelian randomisation. The inverse-variance weighted method (IVW) was used as the main analysis. For COVID-19 susceptibility, IVW estimates indicated that milk (OR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.68-0.98; P = 0.032), unsalted peanut (OR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.35-0.82; P = 0.004), beef (OR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.41-0.84; P = 0.004), pork (OR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.42-0.93; P = 0.022), and processed meat (OR: ...

Association between the dietary antioxidant index and relative telomere length of leukocytes in the Chinese population
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between DAI and RTL. A cross-sectional study involving 1656 participants was conducted. A generalized linear regression model (GLM) and a restricted cubic spline (RCS) model were used to assess the correlation of DAI and its components with RTL. Generalized linear regression analysis revealed that DAI (β = 0.005, P = 0.002) and the intake of its constituents vitamin C (β = 0.043, P = 0.027), vitamin E (β = 0.088, P < 0.001), selenium (β = 0.075, P = 0.003), and zinc (β = 0.075, P = 0.023) were significantly and positively correlated with RTL. Gender-stratified analys...

Carotenoids in maternal and cord blood, breast milk, and their association with maternal dietary intake: a longitudinal study in Shanghai, China
This study aimed to explore the profile of carotenoids in breast milk and maternal/cord plasma of healthy mother-neonate pairs in Shanghai, China, and their correlation with dietary intake. Maternal blood, umbilical cord blood, and breast milk samples from five lactation stages (colostrum, transitional milk, and early-, mid-, and late-term mature milk) were collected. Carotenoid levels were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Carotenoid levels in breast milk changed as lactation progressed (P<0.001). β-Carotene was the primary carotenoid in colostrum. Lutein accounted for approximately 50% of total caro...
