This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate food refusal and swallowing function in children with IMDs receiving diet therapy and to investigate their relationship with malnutrition risk. This cross-sectional study included 49 children aged 2–6 years diagnosed with carbohydrate (30.6%) and protein (69.4%) metabolism disorders. The STRONGkids tool was used to evaluate malnutrition risk, while nutritional classification was based on WHO-derived anthropometric Z-scores. Swallowing function was assessed using the Pedi-EAT-10, and food refusal behaviors were evaluated with the Food Refusal Scale. Sociodemographic characteristics, dietary habits and anthropometric measurements were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors of high malnutrition risk. According to STRONGkids results, 85.7% of the participants were at moderate risk and 14.3% were at high risk of malnutrition. Higher Pedi-EAT-10 scores were significantly associated with early complementary feeding, prolonged feeding duration, extended total daily feeding time, and reported feeding difficulties (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that Pedi-EAT-10 (OR: 1.125; 95% CI: 1.025–1.236; p = 0.013), selectivity (OR: 1.241; 95% CI: 1.110–1.645; p = 0.044), and neophobia (OR: 1.430; 95% CI: 1.117–1.829; p = 0.005) were independently associated with high malnutrition risk. Food refusal behaviors and swallowing dysfunction are significantly associated with malnutrition risk in children with IMDs. Comprehensive assessment of feeding behavior and swallowing function may facilitate early identification of nutritional vulnerability and support individualized dietary management strategies.","PeriodicalId":11927,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Clinical Nutrition","volume":"80 8","pages":"763-771"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147986793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although changing one’s lifestyle remains the foundation of therapy, forthcoming research suggests that nutraceuticals may also have an impact on the molecular pathways underlying weight regulation. The impact of particular nutraceuticals on the genetics, epigenetics of genes and hormones associated with obesity is thoroughly examined in this review. We integrated results from human clinical trials, in vivo and in vitro research. According to our research, epigenetic processes, including DNA methylation, histone modification and modulation of microRNA activity, are the primary mechanisms by which these nutraceuticals alter gene expression and hormonal balance. Additionally, their anti-inflammatory qualities and capacity to regulate pro-inflammatory cytokines were examined. Based on this research, nutraceuticals that target the genetic and epigenetic landscape have great potential as complementary therapy in the prevention and control of obesity. To clarify the best dosages, long-term effects and therapeutic efficacy in various populations, more research is necessary.","PeriodicalId":11927,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Clinical Nutrition","volume":"80 7","pages":"648-671"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147981227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied conditional and conjunctional false discovery rate (cFDR/ccFDR) analyses to genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for cirrhosis and sarcopenia-related traits, including appendicular lean mass (ALM) and usual walking pace (UWP). In parallel, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and three machine learning algorithms (LASSO, random forest, and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination) were applied to liver and skeletal muscle transcriptomes. External validation was performed using independent transcriptomic cohorts. Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted to explore causal directions. GWAS-based pleiotropic analysis identified seven shared genetic loci for both conditions cirrhosis and sarcopenia. Transcriptomic and machine learning analyses prioritized eight shared candidate genes across liver and skeletal muscle tissues, among which PTPRR emerged as a convergent candidate identified by multiple analytical layers. Functional enrichment revealed pleiotropic loci were primarily associated with lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways, whereas machine learning-derived genes were enriched in intracellular signaling and transcriptional regulation. MR analyses further suggested that genetically predicted higher ALM and faster UWP were associated with a lower risk of cirrhosis (inverse-variance weighted [IVW] P = 0.0127 and 0.0211, respectively). By jointly reporting pleiotropic genetic loci and shared candidate genes, this study provides a multi-layered view of the genetic architecture underlying cirrhosis-sarcopenia comorbidity and supports the robustness of the identified gene signature across independent transcriptomic datasets, highlighting candidate molecular targets for future mechanistic investigation.","PeriodicalId":11927,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Clinical Nutrition","volume":"80 8","pages":"814-832"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147873742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High volume resistance-training (HVRT) has been associated with greater increases in FFM than low volume resistance-training (LVRT).

Therefore, it remains unclear whether HVRT could elicit greater retention of FFM and improvements in strength during CR. Determine the effects of HVRT and high protein intake on FFM and strength in resistance- trained individuals after a 40% CR. Sixteen resistance-trained individuals underwent a high-protein (2.3 g/kg body mass (BM)), 4- week 40% CR with a 5-day/week resistance-training intervention. Participants were randomly assigned to LVRT (12 sets/muscle group/week) or HVRT (30 sets/muscle group/week). Pre-post intervention testing included dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, indirect calorimetry, dietary records, resistance-training records, 5RM strength testing, and nitrogen balance.
