High prevalence of multimorbidity and non-communicable disease risk factors in South African adolescents and youth living with HIV: Implications for integrated prevention
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings of a high prevalence of NCDs and risk factors in AYLHIV highlight the importance of NCD risk screening as part of HIV care for AYLHIV. Such integrated approaches are needed to achieve the dual purpose of improving outcomes through early diagnosis of pre-existing NCDs as well as the prevention of NCD multimorbidity in AYLHIV. This study further demonstrates the need for early intervention on the social, environmental and economic determinants of NCDs targeting adolescents and youth.PMID:35587804

P134 Produce Prescription Projects: Challenges, Solutions, and Emerging Best Practices - Perspectives from Health Care Providers Across the United States
Produce prescription programs (PPR) have become increasingly common to address the poor health outcomes associated with food insecurity and diet-related chronic disease. These programs involve “prescriptions” for fruits and vegetables within a routine medical visit for eligible individuals. Benefits of PPRs include increased fruit and vegetable purchasing and consumption, reduced household food insecurity, and improved clinical health outcomes. However, only a few regionally bound stu dies focus on experience of those health care providers (HCP) who make the ‘prescription.’

P118 Leveraging Electronic Medical Records for Produce Prescription Program Referral for Improved Enrollment and Participation
Low program enrollment and participation is an issue across many produce prescription programs aiming to improve access to fruits and vegetables. The Keiki (child) produce prescription (KPRx) study provides Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center (WCCHC) patients with vouchers to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. The KPRx feasibility study found the program to be popular and desired, but enrollment and retention to be quite low.

What Causes Anal Itching?
Discussion Pinworms are caused by the parasite Enterobius vermicularis. Humans are the only known reservoir and are infected by fecal-oral transmission of eggs or indirectly such as through contaminated clothing or bedding. It is commonly seen in children and can easily pass to family members, plus people can become easily reinfected. The incubation period is usually 1-2 months and eggs can survive outside humans for 2-3 weeks. Adult worms migrate at night from the anus to the perianal skin and vulvar areas causing anal or vulvar itching. The itching can cause sleep problems and scratching can cause secondary bacterial inf...

MyPlate and urban low-income Asian Americans in the United States: a study to improve nutrition education
This study describes barriers to using theMyPlate visual as a resource for communicating dietary recommendations to Asian American participants of a federally funded nutrition education program. To identify potential barriers to usingMyPlate, an interdisciplinary team collected quantitative (n = 349) and qualitative (n = 40) data via a cross-sectional survey and a series of focus group interviews with convenience samples of Cambodian, Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean adult participants of a nutrition education class in downtown Los Angeles. Findings showed that 13.2% of the participants ate meals...

What Are the Potential Benefits and Risks of Premasticated Foods?
Discussion Premastication is the prechewing of foods or medicines by another person before feeding to an infant. It is also used to pretaste or temperature test foods. It was a common practice for millennia, especially before modern food technology, as a way to transition an infant from a solely liquid based diet to a mixed diet mainly of solid food. Rates of premastication vary, with less developed countries having an increased incidence/prevalence (up to 50%) but it is not uncommon in developed countries (in the US 14% is reported). Saliva is also used to clean other people, treat cuts/itches or insect bites as well. Pla...

Reaching Food Retail Customers Through Facebook
Access to healthy food is a primary public health concern that should be considered by those within the field of nutrition education. Less than 10% of adults in Tennessee report consuming sufficient amounts of fruits and vegetables,1 and American families on limited incomes often live in areas in which affordable, healthy foods are harder to find.2,3 The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) works with community sites that serve limited resource audiences to reach Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-eligible families, traditionally through direct nutrition education.

Species-specific modulation of food-search behavior by respiration and chemosensation in Drosophila larvae
We report remarkable differ ences in thedig-and-dive behavior ofD. melanogaster and the fruit-pestD. suzukii. The present paradigm offers an opportunity to study how sensory and physiological cues are integrated to balance the limitations of dwelling in imperfect environmental conditions and the risks associated with searching for potentially more favorable conditions.

Do Physicians Need a Storyteller Education in the Field of Nutrition?
I fundamentally agree with Aggarwal's findings regarding the education deficit of physicians concerning nutrition.1 As the authors point out "[...] studies have shown that a diet of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and minimally processed foods is effective in reducing cardiovascular disease risk, as compared to the Westernized diet ”. However, these recommendations 1) are not related to a lack of nutritional education of physicians in terms of basic science, and 2) are not integrated into the lifestyle due to the socio-cultural parameters that govern dietary habits, miles away from evidence-based medicine. As a resu...

The effects of a nutrition education curriculum on improving young children's fruit and vegetable preferences and nutrition and health knowledge.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that a short, 6-week intervention that aligns with educational standards has the ability to significantly enhance children's outcomes and thus may be a more feasible option for teachers to incorporate into their classrooms than what is currently available.
