Evidence mapping: methodologic foundations and application to intervention and observational research on sugar-sweetened beverages and health outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Establishing field standards in the study of SSB intake and health outcomes would facilitate interpretation across research studies and thereby increase the utility of systematic reviews/meta-analyses and ultimately the efficiency of research efforts. Rapid publication of new data suggests the need for regular updates and caution when reading reviews. PMID: 23824722 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical Nutrition University. The place of nutrition in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)
Summary: CVDs, including coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, currently represent the major causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world. In Europe, CVDs are responsible for 43% of deaths in men and 55% in women and for 30% of all deaths before the age of 65 years. CVD burden could be substantially reduced by early diagnosis and appropriate measures, since atherosclerotic lesions may be substantially improved in response to measures taken.CVD results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors; some factors vary between different ethnic groups. Plasma lipid profile is an important, but certainly not...

Using financial incentives to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in the UK
Summary Encouraging the consumption of fruits and vegetables can help people increase their intake of micronutrients, dietary fibre and non‐nutrient substances, which together have benefits for health. A high intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of a number of diseases including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. Among the numerous barriers to purchasing fruits and vegetables, price is still cited as a common factor. Therefore, more needs to be done to incentivise consumers to pick up more of these foods during their weekly shop. The UK Public Health Responsibility Deal se...

Now, just seven years later, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving to phase artificial trans fats out from packaged foods sold in the United States. read more

Lower dairy products and calcium intake is associated with adverse retinal vascular changes in older adults
Conclusions: A significant association was observed between lower intake of dairy products or calcium and adverse retinal vascular signs. We cannot discount the possibility of confounding from unmeasured risk factors; hence, further studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Awareness of chronic disease related health benefits of physical activity among residents of a rural South Indian region: a cross-sectional study
Conclusion: There is low awareness of chronic disease related benefits of physical activity and participants do not see a need to increase their physical activity level. Public health awareness programs on importance and health benefits of physical activity would be useful to counter the anticipated decline in physical activity.

Association between nutrition and the evolution of multimorbidity: The importance of fruits and vegetables and whole grain products
Summary: Background & aims: Multimorbidity is a common health status. The impact of nutrition on the development of multimorbidity remains to be determined. The aim of this study is to determine the association between foods, macronutrients and micronutrients and the evolution of multimorbidity.Methods: Data from 1020 Chinese who participated in the Jiangsu longitudinal Nutrition Study (JIN) were collected in 2002 (baseline) and 2007 (follow-up). Three-day weighted food records and status for 11 chronic diseases was determined using biomedical measures (hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and anemia) or self-repor...

The Imbalance of Sodium and Potassium Intake: Implications for Dietetic Practice
Currently, ∼90% of Americans consume excess sodium and virtually everyone consumes inadequate potassium. Randomized control trials and epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that higher sodium intake and lower potassium intake are modifiable risk factors for elevated blood pressure and hypertension, in addition to excess body weight, nonadherence to a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, lack of physical activity, and excess alcohol consumption. Nonmodifiable risk factors include age and family history. High blood pressure is a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke, which are both leadi...

Beneficial effects of on glycemia and homocysteine levels in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in postmenopausal women is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity, especially stroke and coronary heart disease and mortality. Preventing and treating MetS would be useful in preventing disability and promoting normal aging. Previous human studies have found some beneficial effects of Lactobacillus species on some isolated parameters of MetS. Nevertheless, we are not aware, to date, of any study which has verified the influence of probiotics in patients with MetS.

The new cholesterol treatment guidelines and women
We read with interest the new article by Gotto et al. [1], which provide a helpful overview of merits and potential downsides of the 2013 guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) on cholesterol management. These guidelines include the use of a new risk prediction algorithm to estimate ten-year risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes stroke and peripheral arterial disease as well as coronary heart disease [2].
