Curcumin, gingerol, and piperine are natural compounds with well-established anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; however, clinical evidence on their combined effects in migraine remains limited. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of eight weeks of Mixodin supplementation on inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers, and clinical migraine characteristics, in patients with migraine. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 60 patients with migraine, who were randomly assigned to receive two Mixodin capsules daily (each containing 300 mg curcumin, 7.5 mg gingerol, and 3.75 mg piperine) or placebo for eight weeks. Serum hs-CRP, NO, MDA, TOS, TAC, and SOD were measured before and after the intervention. Headache severity, frequency, and duration were recorded using VAS and a headache diary. RESULTS: Mixodin supplementation significantly reduced serum Hs-CRP (− 0.87 ± 0.19 vs. − 0.16 ± 0.09 mg/L; P = 0.001) and NO levels (− 5.53 ± 1.53 vs. + 3.51 ± 1.79 µmol/L; P = 0.042) compared with placebo. Additionally, eight weeks of Mixodin supplementation resulted in a trend toward increased SOD activity and TAC, and a trend toward decreased TOS; however, these changes did not reach statistical significance when compared with the control group (all P > 0.05). No significant change was observed in MDA levels. Mixodin supplementation significantly reduced headache severity (-1.93 ± 0.30vs. -0.36 ± 0.21; P = 0.001) compared with placebo, whereas frequency and duration did not differ significantly between groups (P = 0.737 and P = 0.873, respectively). CONCLUSION: Eight weeks of Mixodin supplementation significantly improved hs-CRP, NO levels, and headache severity among migraine patients, suggesting a promising role for this combination as an adjunctive therapeutic approach in migraine management. Further large-scale trials with longer follow-up are needed.

METHODS: This study was conducted with a cross-sectional design on 535 adults aged 20–65 years. A multilevel cluster random-sampling approach was applied to choose participants. Methyl donor nutrients intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Quantity and quality of sleep were evaluated through the validated Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. Fasting blood samples of subjects were gathered to determine serum levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers. RESULTS: Prevalence of short sleeping and poor sleep quality among participants were 70.1% and 28.6%, respectively. High methyl donor nutrients score (MDNS) was inversely related to short sleeping in fully-adjusted model (OR = 0.42; 95% CI: 0.19–0.91). However, no significant association was observed in terms of poor sleep quality (OR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.34–1.47). In addition, no significant associations were seen between MDNS with levels of glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.

The aim of this analysis was to determine whether pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) modifies the effect of prebiotic supplementation from mid-pregnancy on reducing the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: In a double-blinded, randomised controlled trial, pregnant women < 21 gestational weeks were randomly assigned (1:1) to consume daily prebiotics (14.2 g galacto-oligosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides) or placebo (8.7 g maltodextrin) powder. An effect modification analysis was performed to assess the heterogeneity of the effect of prebiotic supplementation in relation to pre-pregnancy BMI on GDM diagnosis. RESULTS: Between June 2016 and November 2021, 329 women were assigned to the prebiotic group (50.4%), and 323 (49.5%) were assigned to the placebo group. Overall, 288 of 652 women (44.2%) were classified as overweight/obese prior to pregnancy (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). The distribution was balanced, with 146/329 (44.4%) randomised to the prebiotics group and 142/323 (44.0%) in the placebo group. Pre-pregnancy BMI modified the effect of prebiotic supplementation, with the intervention reducing GDM rates in women with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (prebiotic group 11.0% vs. control group 21.8%; adjusted relative risk 0.50; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28 to 0.89) but not in women with a pre-pregnancy BMI < 25 kg/m2 (7.7–7% vs. 4.4%; adjusted relative risk 1.72; 95% CI 0.70 to 4.19; interaction p = 0.02).

OBJECTIVES: To resolve conflicting findings and clarify its impact, our study summarizes resveratrol supplementation’s effects and evaluates its effectiveness across populations. METHODS: We conducted the search through PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to April 30th, 2025, to identify meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials examining the effects of resveratrol supplementation on human health. The quality of included studies was evaluated using the A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool, and the credibility of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) criteria. This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD 42024554480). RESULTS: Forty-five systematic reviews with 129 associations between resveratrol supplementation and human health were included, which consists of 68 outcomes. Using the AMSTAR measurement tool, all articles were categorized as moderate-to-high quality. Among 35 significant associations, four were supported by high-certainty evidence according to GRADE, including positive effects of resveratrol supplementation on reducing waist circumference (mean difference [MD] = -0.80 cm, 95% CI = -1.40, -0.20), total cholesterol among overweight adults (MD = -0.19 mmol/L, 95% CI = -0.32, -0.06), diastolic blood pressure (MD = -3.55 mmHg, 95% CI = -5.18, -1.93) and systolic blood pressure (MD = -7.97 mmHg, 95% CI = -10.63, -5.31) among patients with type 2 diabetes. Moreover, moderate-certainty evidence indicated that resveratrol supplementation may promote glucose metabolism, improve renal function, protect endothelial health, enhance working memory, improve hepatic steatosis, lower hormones, and reduce inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: High certainty of evidence suggested that resveratrol supplementation could decline waist circumference, lower blood pressure among patients with type 2 diabetes, and reduce total cholesterol among overweight adults. </p>","PeriodicalId":19203,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13196030/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147691343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to quantify the reductions in global IHD incidence and mortality associated with TI from 1990 to 2021, and explore heterogeneity in these associations across demographic subgroups and regions. METHODS: We conducted a comparative risk assessment analysis integrating data from the Global Dietary Database (GDD), IHD burden estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, and BMI-stratified population distributions from the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC) across 180 countries and regions. TI distributions were modeled using gamma distributions, and BMI-stratified relative risks derived from dose-response meta-analyses were applied to estimate population attributable fractions. The analysis was stratified by sex, age, education level, and urbanicity. Proportional and absolute burden reductions (cases per million adults) were estimated, with uncertainty propagated through Monte Carlo simulation. RESULTS: Globally in 2021, approximately 28.66 million (95% UI: 18.76–44.79) IHD incident cases and 4.42 (95% UI: 2.94–6.72) million IHD deaths were potentially attributable to TI, accounting for 15.49% (95% UI: 7.03%–36.85%) and 8.32% (95% UI: 4.60%–15.70%) of total cases and deaths, respectively. The beneficial association was greater in men and middle-aged/older adults, with no significant difference by education level or urbanicity. Regionally, the Middle East and North Africa showed the highest proportional reductions (incidence: 22.04%; mortality: 11.72%), followed by Southeast and East Asia. From 1990 to 2021, Southeast and East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa saw the largest increases in preventable IHD case proportions. At the national level, countries like Iran, Japan, and Kenya had the highest estimated proportional reductions, while China and Japan contributed the largest absolute reductions in preventable cases per million adults. CONCLUSION: TI is potentially associated with the reduced global burden of IHD, with benefits varying by region and demographic characteristics. These findings underscore the potential of TI as a dietary strategy for cardiovascular disease prevention and can inform targeted policies worldwide. </p>","PeriodicalId":19203,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13185415/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147691410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to examine differences in dietary behaviors (food intake frequency, eating frequency) by night shift exposure (history, frequency, duration) to investigate eating frequency, meal timing, and food choice determinants during night shifts, and to explore gender differences across Europe. METHODS: Data were collected via an online survey (May 2024-January 2025) in eight countries (Austria, Germany, Denmark, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain). Participants self-reported sociodemographics, occupational sector, current work schedules, shift work history, lifestyle characteristics, and dietary behaviors. A shortened Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) assessed dietary intake, alongside questions on eating rate and frequency on work and non-work-days. Current night shift workers additionally reported eating frequency, timing, and food choice determinants during night shifts. Analyses compared dietary behaviors by night shift exposure (current, former, vs. day worker). Among current night shift workers, associations with night shift frequency (nights/month) and duration (years) were examined. Secondary analyses were stratified by gender. RESULTS: A total of 6,260 individuals were included (mean age 40.7, SD 10.7; 50.5% female). Overall, 60.4% were current night shift workers, 19.6% former night shift workers, and 20% day workers.

Higher monthly night shift load and longer duration of night work were associated with less favorable dietary patterns. Most current night shift workers reported one to two eating occasions per night, typically at the beginning or middle of their shift. Food choices were primarily driven by appetite, time, and food availability. Gender differences were observed only in food choice determinants.

This study aimed to assess vitamin D status among young children post-expansion, evaluate its determinants, and identify main vitamin D sources and their climate impact. METHODS: Dietary intake among 18-month-olds (18mo, n = 1074) and 4-year-olds (4yo, n = 746) were obtained from the Swedish national survey Riksmaten Young Children 2021-24 based on two non-consecutive 24-hour food records. Intake of vitamin D from drops (µg/d) was also recorded. Individual vitamin D intakes were adjusted using the Multiple Source Method to reflect habitual intake. Blood concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) were provided for a subset (18mo, n = 281; 4yo, n = 270). Climate impact was expressed as greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs) in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂ eq), using life cycle assessment data from the Research Institutes of Sweden. Associations between 25OHD and plausible determinants were analyzed with linear regression. RESULTS: 16% of 18mo and 61% of 4yo had total vitamin D intakes (including diet and drops) below the average requirement, 7.5 µg/d. None were deficient (25OHD < 30 nmol/l), and 7% of 18mo and 4% of 4yo were insufficient (< 50 nmol/l). 25OHD was positively associated with dietary vitamin D intake and vitamin D from drops, and inversely associated with blood sampling during winter and parents’ birth country (≥ 1 parent born outside Nordics). Main vitamin D sources for 18mo were vitamin D drops and fortified foods: dairy, porridge and cereal drinks; and for 4yo, fortified dairy and fat spreads. Dairy was a large contributor to diet-related GHGEs (18mo: 10%, 4yo: 16%), whereas fortified fat spreads and plant-based dairy alternatives were effective sources of vitamin D, providing the highest vitamin D concentrations per kg CO₂ eq. CONCLUSIONS: A high proportion of young children in Sweden are vitamin D sufficient, with dietary vitamin D intake, vitamin D drops, and blood sampling season being major determinants. Fortified dairy is an important dietary source of vitamin D, but a shift to fortified plant-based alternatives would reduce diet-related climate impact and should be explored in future research. </p>","PeriodicalId":19203,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13064400/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147593671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In French-speaking Switzerland, the only validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was a paper-based version developed using data collected in 1990s. A new Swiss electronic FFQ (eFFQ) has recently been developed based on nationally representative dietary data from 2010s. The eFFQ has been recently validated and is intended for adoption in future studies among French-speaking adults living in Switzerland. Both FFQs differ in format (paper vs. electronic), food lists, frequency categories, portion sizes, and food composition databases. We aimed to compare dietary intake estimates from the recently developed eFFQ vs. the paper-based FFQ. METHODS: We recruited 75 volunteers aged 18 to 75 years (54.7% female) who completed both FFQs in random order. Intakes of energy, 10 macronutrients, four micronutrients and 28 food groups were estimated using each FFQ and compared using multiple statistical tests. RESULTS: Group-level estimates of energy and most nutrients showed good agreement between FFQs, with differences in median intakes < 10% for 8 of 14 nutrients, including energy, protein, carbohydrates, total sugars, total fat, and saturated fatty acids (SFAs). Largest differences were observed for alcohol (+ 119% in the eFFQ), fibre (+ 37%), polyunsaturated fatty acids (+ 27%), and cholesterol (+ 26%). Spearman’s correlation coefficients (SCCs) were ≥ 0.50 for 12 of 14 nutrients, and misclassification into opposite tertiles (> 10% of participants) was observed only for SFAs (13%). Bland-Altman analysis confirmed acceptable agreement for energy and macronutrient intakes. At the food group level, the eFFQ yielded significantly higher median intakes for 14 of 28 food groups – most notably plant-based protein-rich foods and cream, fatty sauces & other fats – and lower median intakes for four groups, including vegetables and fish. Ranking agreement was acceptable for most food groups (SCCs = 0.57–0.91) but weaker for water (0.07); vegetable oil (0.42); cream, fatty sauces & other fats (0.33); and mixed dishes & soups (0.47). CONCLUSIONS: The new eFFQ demonstrated good relative agreement with the previous paper-based FFQ, particularly for ranking individuals. These findings provide valuable information for researchers and policy makers comparing results of both FFQs over time and across populations. </p>","PeriodicalId":19203,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13147631/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147531297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
