This study aims to investigate the association between food groups’ intakes, defined based on their degree of food processing, with depression and anxiety symptoms in a sample of Lebanese adults. We hypothesized that higher intakes of ultra-processed foods (UPF) will be related to higher risk of depression and anxiety while an opposite association will be observed for unprocessed or minimally processed foods (MPF). Data come from a Lebanese cross-sectional study (n = 188 adults). The NOVA classification was adopted for evaluating the intakes of the 4 food groups: unprocessed or minimally processed foods (MPF); processed culinary ingredients (PCI); processed foods (PF) and ultra-processed foods (UPF). Associations between food group intakes in quartiles with depression and anxiety symptoms were analyzed using multivariable regression analyses adjusted for several confounders. Median energy intake was 2481.65 (2617.2) kcal/d, with 36.12% of Total Energy Intakes coming from MPF, 29.71% from PF, 25.25% from UPF, and 5.75% from PCI. Among participants, 33% and 27.7% had elevated depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. Higher PF intake was associated with significantly lower odds of both depression and anxiety symptoms while a higher UPF intake was associated with higher odds of depression. Results confirm the hypothesized links between UPF and adverse mental health outcomes and highlight the need for further studies on PF intakes and mental health given the culture-specific nature of foods constituting this group.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19245,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition Research","volume":"133 ","pages":"Pages 172-189"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142952416","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}

A biomarker of bone formation (serum osteocalcin), a biomarker of bone resorption (serum C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen [CTx]), and stiffness index measured using calcaneal quantitative ultrasound were considered outcomes. Linear mixed-effects models were used to adjust for confounders (i.e., age, sex, parental education, time spent in sports club, dairy products consumption, sedentary behavior, height and weight <em>z</em>-scores), the cluster effect of country and repeated measurements. Interactions of calcium intake, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and weight status with 25(OH)D on outcomes were tested. Only 1 in 3 participants reached the sufficient 25(OH) D concentration of 20 ng/mL.

This study evaluated the agreement between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in assessing body composition and its changes during a long-term lifestyle intervention in children and adolescents with obesity. We hypothesized that BIA is comparable to DXA in tracking longitudinal changes in body composition in this population. The study included 92 children and adolescents 5 to 17 years of age (mean 10.5 ± 2.9 years) classified as obese at the time of measurement (body mass index-standard deviation score ≥ 2 SD). From January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2017, they participated in a lifestyle intervention at Randers Regional Hospital. Body composition was assessed using BIA and DXA at baseline and follow-up (mean 20.5 ± 9.3 months). Bland–Altman plots, correlation- and concordance analyses were used to evaluate the agreement between methods. Bland–Altman plots demonstrated wide limits of agreement without significant bias for longitudinal changes in fat mass (FM), FM%, fat-free mass (FFM), and FFM% (0.39 kg (CI –0.14, 0.93), –0.39% (CI –1.06, 0.26), –0.21 kg (CI –0.73, 0.31), and 0.39% (CI –0.27, 1.05), respectively). Correlations between methods for changes in FM, FM%, FFM, and FFM% were 0.93, 0.83, 0.88, and 0.83, respectively. In cross-sectional assessments, BIA underestimated FM and FM% and overestimated FFM and FFM% compared to DXA. Conclusively, BIA effectively monitors longitudinal changes in body composition at a group level in a pediatric population with obesity. However, caution is needed for individual assessments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19245,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition Research","volume":"133 ","pages":"Pages 1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142780586","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}

Several factors are associated with gut integrity and inflammation in adults. However, there is limited evidence in healthy children. This study evaluated the factors associated with gut integrity and inflammation in healthy children participating in the MetA-Bone trial. We hypothesized that age, sex, race/ethnicity, diet, vitamin D, and body composition will be associated with gut integrity and inflammation. Socio-demographic variables were collected with a questionnaire. Measures included markers of gut integrity (Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein; I-FABP), and inflammation (IL-17 and calprotectin) determined by ELISA in 24-h urine and serum; serum 25(OH)D concentration (commercial lab), BMI percentile, and diet (24-h recalls). Analyses included descriptive statistics, chi-square, and adjusted logistic regressions. Participants (n=138) median age was 12.4 (11.1-13.3), 53.6% were male, 9.4% were Black/African American, and 71.1% were Hispanic/Latino. Children with suboptimal vitamin D were 3.35 times more likely to present gut integrity damage (elevated I-FABP) than those with optimal status (<em>P</em> = .005). Overweight/obesity and fructose intake were associated with inflammation (elevated calprotectin) (<em>P</em> &lt; .05). Those with lower gut integrity damage had lower odds of having higher inflammation (<em>P</em> = .021). Other factors were not associated with inflammation. Suboptimal vitamin D status, overweight/obesity and inflammation may compromise the gut integrity in healthy children, suggesting an impairment on the intestinal barrier repair system.

Fish consumers were identified using 24-hour recalls and a validated Food Propensity Questionnaire from 3742 adults (aged ≥19 years, 59.3% females).
