However, little is known about home-delivered, texture-modified meals designed for older community-dwelling people with dysphagia, despite recognition that such individuals are at significant nutritional risk. The purpose of this review is therefore to systematically identify, appraise, and synthesise any existing evidence relating to home-delivered, texture-modified meals for community-dwelling persons with dysphagia. RECENT FINDINGS: A systematic search of the literature was performed across five relevant databases (CINAHL, Medline, Pub Med, Scopus, and Web of Science) to answer the research question, “What is currently known about home-delivered, texture-modified meals for community-dwelling individuals with dysphagia?”. Broad inclusion criteria and minimal limits were applied. Articles were included if they reported upon any outcomes specific to home-delivered, texture-modified meals. Following removal of duplicates, 521 articles were subjected to screening by title and abstract, and 40 to full-text review. No studies of specific relevance to the research question were returned. The findings of this systematic literature review indicate a true gap in the literature and a need to establish a baseline of evidence about home-delivered, texture-modified meals. Doing so will help to ensure that community-dwelling older persons with dysphagia have equitable access to safe and nutritionally adequate meals that support successful ageing in place. </p>","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13106258/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147765027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RECENT FINDINGS: Adipokines such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, ghrelin, and visfatin, alongside growth factors including epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, exhibit variable concentrations in preterm versus term milk. Preterm milk generally contains higher levels, potentially reflecting an adaptive response to support accelerated growth. However, findings are inconsistent across studies, likely due to differences in study design, timing of milk collection, analytical methods, and variability in maternal characteristics. Variations in bioactive component profiles between preterm and term milk suggest compensatory mechanisms in preterm lactation. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to clarify these relationships and to elucidate the long-term effects of breast milk adipokines and growth factors on preterm infant growth and metabolic programming. </p>","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13099669/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147765038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We situate dietary protein within the broader context of overall dietary patterns, emphasizing plant-rich diets and their relevance for long-term health outcomes in populations with overall adequate protein intake. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent evidence from randomized controlled trials and large-scale prospective cohort studies indicates that, although animal-derived protein sources typically achieve higher amino acid–based quality scores, these differences do not consistently translate into superior cardiometabolic or mortality-related outcomes. Substitution analyses and intervention studies suggest that replacing animal-based proteins with plant-based sources is associated with favorable changes in cardiovascular risk markers and reduced risk of chronic disease. These findings underscore the importance of the food matrix, including bioactive compounds, as well as the potential influence of components more prevalent in animal-based foods. In Western populations, where total protein intake often exceeds physiological requirements, modest differences in digestibility and amino acid scoring appear to have limited clinical relevance. Emerging evidence also suggest the may mediate host responses to different protein sources. Current evidence supports a context-dependent interpretation of protein quality that integrates amino acid adequacy within broader dietary and health frameworks. For clinical practice and dietary guidance, greater emphasis on overall dietary pattern quality, particularly plant-rich patterns, may be more informative for long-term health than reliance on protein quality scores alone. </p>","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13099674/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147765036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While substantial evidence links PBDs to reduced risk of chronic diseases, their role in pregnancy-related disorders remains underexplored. This narrative review aims to evaluate the impact of PBDs on pregnancy-related disorders, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), anemia, and overall maternal and fetal outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS: Evidence suggests that adherence to PBDs—rich in whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables—is associated with lower risks of GDM and HDP in several observational studies. While some studies report increased risk of low birth weight and anemia, others show no significant differences in maternal or fetal outcomes compared to omnivorous diets. Deficiencies in key nutrients—especially vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids—are a concern in poorly planned PBDs. Adequate supplementation and higher educational status support better pregnancy outcomes. Well-planned PBDs may reduce the risk of certain pregnancy complications and support maternal–fetal health when combined with adequate micronutrient intake. However, the evidence remains heterogeneous, and further high-quality longitudinal and interventional studies are warranted to establish the long-term safety and efficacy of PBDs in pregnancy. </p>","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13086723/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147697700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It disrupts daily life and reduces quality of life. The aim of this review was to examine the nutritional evidence that may influence the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of brain fog; to assess both its potential benefits and current limitations in research, as well as to identify gaps in the literature to inform future studies. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent findings have increasingly highlighted the roles of neuroinflammation, dysregulation of the gut-brain axis, and poor sleep quality as key contributors to its pathophysiology. Diet and dietary components can influence brain fog by regulating inflammation, modulating gut microbiota, and affecting sleep quality. Anti-inflammatory diets contribute positively in this respect, whereas Western-style diets high in fat and sugar and rich in processed foods have a negative effect. The Mediterranean diet stands out in current research because its benefits are consistently documented across all three key domains, reducing neuroinflammation, supporting gut–brain communication, and improving sleep quality. By comparison, although ketogenic diets have plausible mechanistic support and encouraging in vitro and in vivo findings, the human evidence base remains limited, and outcomes are heterogeneous, precluding firm conclusions regarding efficacy across these domains. Referring individuals experiencing brain fog to a dietitian during this process is essential for providing individualised nutrition management. A nutritionally balanced diet that provides adequate energy and micronutrients and is rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids may support the management of brain fog. However, caution is warranted regarding probiotic supplementation; their use should be consistent with individual physiological needs and evidence-based practice, and the process should be managed by a qualified health professional. </p>","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13068701/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147644389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, it examines the therapeutic potential of microbiota-targeted nutritional strategies to restore metabolic balance and improve cardiometabolic outcomes in postmenopausal women. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent clinical and experimental evidence indicates that menopause-related hormonal changes and aging are associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis, which may contribute to adverse lipid profiles through mechanisms involving bile acid metabolism, short-chain fatty acid production, and low-grade systemic inflammation. Associations between specific microbial taxa and lipid metabolic patterns have been reported; however, findings remain heterogeneous and causal relationships are difficult to establish due to confounding factors such as diet, lifestyle, and medication use. Nutritional interventions aimed at modulating the gut microbiota—including Mediterranean, plant-based, and DASH dietary patterns, increased dietary fiber intake, and supplementation with prebiotics, probiotics, polyphenols, phytoestrogens, and omega-3 fatty acids—have shown potential to improve lipid profiles and cardiometabolic risk markers. The gut microbiota emerges as a relevant contributor to menopause-associated dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk. While microbiota-targeted nutritional strategies are promising, further longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to clarify causal pathways and identify clinically actionable microbial signatures.

This review provides an updated synthesis of magnesium physiology, dietary determinants, homeostatic regulation, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic strategies, with particular emphasis on recent meta-analyses and large-scale epidemiological evidence linking hypomagnesemia to multisystem disease. RECENT FINDINGS: Accumulating evidence has shown consistent associations between low serum or dietary magnesium and increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders (hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease), neuropsychiatric conditions (migraine, depression, cognitive impairment, and dementia), osteoporosis, immune dysregulation, and adverse outcomes in hospitalized, critically ill, and chronic kidney disease patients. Mechanistic studies have clarified the roles of TRPM6/7 channels, tight junction claudins, and basolateral magnesium transporters in intestinal and renal magnesium handling, elucidating pathways underlying both inherited and acquired deficiencies. Research has also highlighted the contribution of modern dietary patterns, food processing, mineral-depleted drinking water, medication use (notably proton pump inhibitors, diuretics and chemotherapeutic agents), and gut microbiome alterations to widespread subclinical deficiency. Meta-analyses of RCTs indicate that magnesium supplementation confers modest but clinically relevant improvements in blood pressure, glycemic control, inflammatory markers, endothelial function, migraine frequency, and depressive symptoms, particularly in individuals with baseline hypomagnesemia. However, serum magnesium remains an insensitive biomarker of total body magnesium status, and consensus on optimal diagnostic thresholds and replacement strategies is lacking. Magnesium deficiency contributes to a wide spectrum of multisystem disorders, and is driven by dietary insufficiency, gastrointestinal and renal losses, medication use, chronic disease, and altered microbiome function. Meta-analytic evidence supports its role as a modifiable risk factor across cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, skeletal, and immune disorders. Dietary modification, optimized supplementation, and correction of underlying causes of deficiency remain central to management. Future research should focus on improved diagnostic tools, personalized dosing approaches and long-term outcomes of magnesium repletion. Enhancing clinical awareness and integrating magnesium evaluation into routine care may reduce the growing burden of hypomagnesemia. </p>","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13009017/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147503358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, studies have proposed that high sodium intake is associated with increased aggregation of Aβ-amyloid and that hypertension (for which high sodium intake is a risk factor) modulates the relationship between Aβ-amyloid and development of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. However, while animal studies demonstrate a consistent relationship between high sodium intake and cognitive impairment, this relationship remains less clear in humans. Overall, mixed results were observed regarding whether sodium intake is associated with cognitive function.
