Vitamin D status of pregnant women with obesity in the United Kingdom and its association with pregnancy outcomes: a secondary analysis of the UPBEAT study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000862. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrenatal vitamin D deficiency is widely reported and may affect perinatal outcomes. In this secondary analysis of the UK Pregnancies Better Eating and Activity Trial (UPBEAT), we examined vitamin D status and its relationship with selected pregnancy outcomes in women with obesity (BMI≥30kg/m2) from multi-ethnic inner-city settings in the UK. Determinants of vitamin D status at a mean of 17±1 weeks' gestation were assessed using multivariable linear regression and reported as percent differences in serum hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)....

Preconception diet in adolescence and its association with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and preterm birth. Results from The HUNT study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-22. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000746. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOur aim was to estimate associations of adolescent dietary patterns and meal habits with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and preterm birth. We used data from a prospective cohort study (Norwegian Young-HUNT1) where dietary information was collected during adolescence and pregnancy outcomes were obtained through record linkage to the Norwegian national birth registry. The outcomes were HDP, hypertension, preeclampsia/ eclampsia, and preterm birth in the first pregnancy and in any pregnancy. Diet was self-reported from valida...

Curcumin Effects on Age-Related Changes in Oral Immunity: An < em > In Vivo < /em > Study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-21. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000801. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current study aimed to investigate the effects of ageing on oral immunity using β-defensin (DEFB) 1/2 as a marker and evaluate the effects of curcumin (CUR) on these processes. The study sample included 30 male C57BL/6J mice divided into three groups based on the treatment method used. The young control (YC) and old control (OC) groups received 0.5% methylcellulose-400 (curcumin vehicle) orally for five days, whereas the CUR group of older mice received a curcumin solution suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose-400 (dose: 3.0 mg/kg b...

24-h passive heat and cold exposures did not modify energy intake and appetite but strongly modify food reward
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-40. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000825. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEffects of acute thermal exposures on appetite appear hypothetical in reason of very heterogeneous methodologies. The aim of this study was therefore to clearly define the effects of passive 24-h cold (16°C) and heat (32°C) exposures on appetitive responses compared to a thermo neutral condition (24°C). Twenty-three healthy, young, and active male participants realised three sessions (from 1 pm) in a laboratory conceived like an apartment dressed with the same outfit (Clo=1). Three meals composed of three or four cold or warm dish...

Effectiveness of GLIM and SGA for diagnosing malnutrition and predicting wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) in diagnosing malnutrition and predicting wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). GLIM criteria were evaluated for sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), positive predictive value (PPV), negative PV (NPV), and kappa (κ) against SGA as the reference. Modified Poisson regression model and the DeLong test investigated the association between malnutrition and non-healing ulcers over six months. This retrospective cohort study included 398 patients with DFU, with a mean...

Building nutritionally meaningful classification for grocery product groups: the LoCard Food Classification process
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000710. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnalysing customer loyalty card data is a novel method for assessing nutritional quality and changes in a population's food consumption. However, prior to its use, the thousands of grocery products available in stores must be reclassified from the retailer's original hierarchical structure into a structure that is suitable for the use of nutrition and health research. We created LoCard Food Classification (LCFC) and examined how it reflects the nutritional quality of the grocery product groups. Nutritional quality was considered the ...

Enteral nutrition practices among very preterm infants in neonatal units: a cross-country comparative study
This study marks the first exploration of EN practices in neonatal units, examining their local and cross-country variations. It provides valuable insights to guide local trials and foster global collaboration among neonatal units to establish a unified knowledge base, standardized practices and promote research and innovation, ultimately contributing to optimal feeding practices for very preterm infants.
