Is the Association between Vitamin D and Metabolic Syndrome Independent of Other Micronutrients.
Authors: Khosravi-Boroujeni H, Ahmed F, Sarrafzadegan N Abstract The incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been increasing globally and it is recognized as a major public health problem because MetS is associated with increased risk of diabetes, stroke, cancer, and other chronic diseases. Recently, MetS has been linked to vitamin D deficiency. However, the evidence on the association between vitamin D deficiency and the risk of MetS remains inconclusive. This review therefore aims to depict the existing evidence related to MetS and vitamin D deficiency, and examined some of the possible confounders which may a...

Dietary Patterns and Blood Pressure in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Hypertension is a major risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney disease. To lower blood pressure (BP), several lifestyle changes are recommended such as weight loss, exercise, and following a healthy diet. Investigating the effect of single nutrients may have positive results, but food is consumed as part of a whole diet, resulting in nutrient interactions. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effect of dietary patterns on BP in adults. Studies that were published between January 1999 and June 2014 were retrieved using Scopus, Web of Science, and the MEDLINE da...

Mediterranean diet score and total and cardiovascular mortality in Eastern Europe: the HAPIEE study
Conclusion Higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with reduced risk of total and CVD deaths in these large Eastern European urban populations. The application of MDS with absolute cut-offs appears suitable for non-Mediterranean populations.

WHO guidelines for a healthy diet and mortality from cardiovascular disease in European and American elderly: the CHANCES project Cardiovascular disease risk
Conclusion: Overall, greater adherence to the WHO dietary guidelines was not significantly associated with CVD mortality, but the results varied across regions. Clear inverse associations were observed in elderly populations in southern Europe and the United States.

Association between fish intake and depressive symptoms among community-living older Chinese adults in Singapore: A cross-sectional study
Conclusion Our results suggest that eating fish at least three times a week is associated with a lower odds of having depressive symptoms among Chinese adults over 55 years old living in Singapore.

Associations between socio-economic status and dietary patterns in US black and white adults.
Abstract Socio-economic status (SES) has been associated with measures of diet quality; however, such measures have not directly captured overall eating practices in individuals. Based on the factor analysis of fifty-six food groups from FFQ, associations between patterns of food consumption and SES were examined in a nationwide sample of 17 062 black (34·6 %) and white participants (age >45 years) from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study. Logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, racial group and geographic region were used to examine adherence to five emergen...

Nut consumption on all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies Nutritional epidemiology and public health
Conclusion: Nut consumption is associated with lower risk of all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality, but the presence of confounding factors should be taken into account when considering such findings.

The relationship between fermented food intake and mortality risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Netherlands cohort.
In conclusion, the present study provides no strong evidence that intake of fermented foods, particularly fermented dairy foods, is associated with mortality. PMID: 25599866 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Low plasma eicosapentaenoic acid concentration as a possible risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage
N-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), prevent ischemic stroke. The preventive effect has been attributed to an anti-thrombic effect induced by elevated EPA and reduced arachidonic acid (AA) levels. However, the relationship between intracranial hemorrhage and N-3 fatty acids has not yet been elucidated. In this cross-sectional study, we compared common clinical and lifestyle parameters between 70 patients with intracranial hemorrhages and 66 control subjects. The parameters included blood chemistry data, smoking, alcohol intake, fish consumption and the incidences of underlying diseases.

Food Intake Does Not Differ between Obese Women Who Are Metabolically Healthy or Abnormal Nutritional Epidemiology
Conclusions: Healthy obesity was not associated with a healthier diet. Prospective studies on relations of dietary patterns, which may be a better indicator of usual diet, with the phenotype would be beneficial.

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...
