Odds of Meeting Cancer Prevention Behavior Recommendations by Health Information Seeking Behavior: a Cross-Sectional HINTS Analysis

Prenatal Nutrition Education: Updates and Best Practices for Optimal Diet and Weight Gain during Pregnancy.
Authors: Siega-Riz AM, Constantoulakis L Abstract Maternal nutrition plays a critical role in the course of pregnancy and in the health of the mother and child at birth and beyond. While evidence in support of following specific dietary patterns during pregnancy for an optimal outcome is weak, due to the many methodological limitations of previous studies, there are other guidelines that women should follow. These guidelines include, the healthy dietary patterns included in the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and other global guidelines.

COVID-19: Reset Food Systems Now for a Better Future
By Cecilia RussellMILAN, Italy, Jun 4 2020 (IPS) The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inherent fragility of food systems, Marta Antonelli told an international video conference organised by the Barilla Center for Food Nutrition (BCFN). However, she said, it also offered an opportunity to reset the way food is produced, distributed and consumed. The pandemic disrupted the food system, triggering food insecurity and resulted in sharp increases in the cost of food – up to 10 per cent in sub-Saharan Africa. Jobs were lost, children who received one meal a day at school lost access to this source of nutrition, and ...

P163 Baseline Skin Carotenoid Levels and Associations with Season, Age, Gender, and Race among Head Start Children (3-5 years) Living in Eastern North Carolina
Low intake of fruits/vegetables (FV) among preschoolers is well documented, establishing a need for interventions that can improve intake. However, in order to determine effectiveness of interventions, valid and objective methods are needed. A promising non-invasive tool for objectively measuring FV consumption is the Veggie Meter (VM), which uses reflection spectroscopy to assess skin carotenoids. While the tool has been used and validated in adults, limited research exists to describe its use in children.
