The adoption of these dietary patterns may depend on socio-demographic factors and individual motivations. Aim: This study aimed to analyse the association between socio-demographic factors and knowledge and attitudes towards vegan and vegetarian diets amongst university students. Methods: This anonymous survey included 241 students from a university in rural Poland. The association between respondents' socio-demographic factors and the investigated categorical variables was analysed. Results: Only three respondents followed a vegan or vegetarian diet during the study. In general, the respondents were unwilling to reduce their meat consumption (55.9%). The willingness to do so was significantly higher amongst women than men (39.4% vs. 15.1%; p = 0.0002), meat avoiders than omnivorous respondents (68.4% vs. 25.0%; p < 0.0001) and health discipline students than non-medical students (47.7% vs. 23.0%; p = 0.0004). Higher awareness of the benefits of plant-based diets was confirmed amongst women, health discipline students and those who avoided meat. Vegan and vegetarian diets were perceived amongst the total number of respondents as more expensive (56.9%) and more difficult to follow compared to omnivore diets (74.7%); in turn, substitutes for animal products were as easily accessible (61.8%). The term 'planetary health diet' was used by only 13.7% of the students surveyed. Conclusions: Promoting the benefits of plant-based diets is important, especially in small, traditional communities, where previously acquired patterns mostly determine dietary choices. The inclusion of issues involving planetary health and sustainable diets into curricula and non-medical fields will enable their promotion amongst young adults in general.","PeriodicalId":19352,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and health","volume":" ","pages":"2601060251375122"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145015975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Saudi Arabia's rapidly evolving healthcare system, understanding these dynamics is crucial for improving care quality and staff well-being.AimThis study aimed to assess the prevalence of alarm fatigue and perceived stress among critical care nurses in Saudi hospitals, explore their interrelationship, and evaluate their impact on perceptions of patient safety.MethodsA descriptive correlational cross-sectional research design was adopted. Using a convenient sampling approach composed of 190 CCU nurses across seven Saudi hospitals. Three validated instruments including the Alarm Fatigue Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Safety Attitudes Questionnaire were used in this study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlations.ResultsFindings revealed moderate alarm fatigue (mean = 24.34, SD = 8.56) and stress (mean = 16.75, SD = 9.43). Alarm fatigue correlated with stress (r = 0.286, p < 0.01) and negatively with safety climate (r = 0.377) and teamwork climate (r = 0.402).ConclusionAlarm fatigue significantly influences stress levels and safety perceptions among critical care nurses, underscoring the need for targeted, context-specific interventions.

Studies show that up to one-third of hospital patients are affected. Malnutrition is linked to various health concerns, including poor muscle function, decreased bone density, immunological dysfunction, cognitive decline, anemia, prolonged hospital admissions, and higher morbidity and mortality. Aim: This study compares the diagnostic performance of the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) score, Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) score, and Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill (modified Nutric score [mNutric]) score with the gold standard Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in diagnosing malnutrition. Methods: The current study was conducted over the period of two months at S. L. Raheja Hospital and included 100 patients over the age of 18. Within the first 24 h after admission, malnutrition screening was performed using NRS-2002, SGA, and mNutric scores, with GLIM criteria as the reference. Results: The GLIM criteria identified 41% of patients as malnourished, but SGA and NRS-2002 revealed 60% and 72%, respectively, and mNutric as 40%. Kappa coefficients demonstrated good agreement between GLIM and mNutric (k = 0.915), moderate agreement with NRS-2002 (k = 0.761), and reasonable agreement with SGA (k = 0.632). Sensitivity and specificity analyses revealed that GLIM has superior diagnostic accuracy. Conclusion: These findings support GLIM criteria as a global standard for malnutrition diagnosis, enhancing clinical outcomes through targeted nutritional interventions. The GLIM criteria demonstrated better agreement with the mNutric score compared to the other two tools. However, incorporating all available screening tools in clinical practice will enhance the early detection of malnutrition.","PeriodicalId":19352,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and health","volume":" ","pages":"2601060251332990"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144963102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nutrition can influence cognition, and research indicates that Ocimum sp. (holy basil and sweet basil) leaf extracts may enhance cognition in rodents and humans. However, these studies do not address whether these benefits extend to fresh or dry leaves consumed in typical human diets, along with physiological aging. Aim: To investigate the effects of sweet basil supplementation on cognition in mature and aged female mice. Methods: Female C57bl mice were divided into four groups: 8-month-old mature adults and 18-month-old aged adults, each receiving either a control or supplemented diet. The supplemented diet included a mix of standard chow and fresh basil leaves, administered for 2-8 months. Cognitive and behavioral assessments were conducted using the novel object recognition (NOR), Morris water maze (MWM), and elevated plus maze (EPM) tasks, focusing on memory, learning, and anxiety. Results: No cognitive improvement was observed in mature mice. However, aged mice receiving long-term basil supplementation showed enhanced discrimination in NOR and stayed closer to the absent platform in MWM compared to nonsupplemented controls. While aging mice exhibited reduced anxiety-like behavior in EPM, basil supplementation prevented this reduction. Conclusion: Basil supplementation appears beneficial in elderly mice, potentially preventing age-related cognitive decline and behavioral changes. These findings support the benefits of basil consumption in cognition and underscore its potential role in promoting healthy aging. Incorporating basil into the diet at a younger age may preserve memory and mitigate behavioral changes as individuals age.","PeriodicalId":19352,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and health","volume":" ","pages":"1147-1156"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142351037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is an affordable and feasible body composition assessment technique for clinical and field settings. Total body water (TBW) and hence fat-free mass is estimated by predictive regression algorithms using anthropometric measurements plus the resistance index. Aim: The study aimed to develop a BIA prediction equation for TBW in children in Myanmar using the deuterium dilution technique as the reference method. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional in a school setting with convenience sampling of participants. One hundred and two healthy children (57 boys and 45 girls) with aged 4 and 8 years participated; randomly divided into the prediction group (29 boys and 22 girls) and cross-validation group (28 boys and 23 girls). Whole-body impedance, anthropometric and TBW (by D2O dilution) measurements. The prediction equation was cross-validated using a split-group design and compared to published equations for contemporaneous populations. Results: TBW could be predicted by the following equation. TBW = 0.4597 * Weight (kg) + 0.1564 * Impedance index + 0.6075 (R2 = 0.891, P < 0.0001) with a correlation coefficient of 0.942 and limits of agreement of 0.98 kg TBW on cross-validation. Conclusions: This equation can be used to predict body composition in young (aged 4-8 years) children in Myanmar but because the age range of the participants in the present study was relatively narrow, more research in different age groups is required to establish its broader applicability.","PeriodicalId":19352,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and health","volume":" ","pages":"933-942"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12423468/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141301141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
