Anemia can result from various causes, such as iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, hemolysis, or bleeding. The association between anemia and preeclampsia is not fully understood, but some studies have suggested that anemia may increase the risk of developing preeclampsia, especially in women with iron deficiency or chronic inflammation. <b>Objective:</b> To assess the association of anemia during pregnancy and the risk of developing preeclampsia. <b>Study Design and Setting:</b> A multicenter unmatched case-control study was conducted. The study was conducted from 2 December 2020 to 1 January 2021 in West and North Gojjam zone governmental hospitals, North West Ethiopia. A total of 337 pregnant women (113 cases and 224 controls) who consented verbally and attended antenatal or delivery services were enrolled in the study. <b>Population:</b> The participants of this study were mothers attending attended antenatal care and delivery services. <b>Data Management:</b> The analysis involved manual checking, data entry using EpiData Manager, and subsequent analysis using SPSS version 23, with logistic regression and p-values <0.05 determining statistical significance. <b>Results:</b> Being nonanemic, high consumption of fat related, mid-upper arm circumference ≥25.6 cm, frequent consumption of milk products, and fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A were found to be factors associated with the risk for developing preeclampsia. <b>Conclusion and recommendations:</b> Being nonanemic, diets that are characterized by a high intake of vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables and milk products were significantly associated with a low risk of preeclampsia. On the other hand, high intake of fatty foods and obesity were associated with the development of preeclampsia. Therefore, preventing anemia encouraging and promoting healthy eating habits during pregnancy by including vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables and milk products can effectively prevent the development of preeclampsia.</p>","PeriodicalId":19352,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and health","volume":" ","pages":"2601060241287002"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142381343","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}

{"title":"Long-term food supplementation with sweet basil (<i>Ocimum basilicum L.</i>) prevents age-associated cognitive decline in female mice.","authors":"Dâmaris Costa Miranda Pires, Alberto da Silva Moraes","doi":"10.1177/02601060241281765","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/02601060241281765","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p><b>Background:</b> Mild cognitive decline, a common issue in aging, affects memory, learning, and attention. Nutrition can influence cognition, and research indicates that <i>Ocimum sp.</i> (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. <b>Aim:</b> To investigate the effects of sweet basil supplementation on cognition in mature and aged female mice. <b>Methods:</b> 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. <b>Results:</b> 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. <b>Conclusion:</b> 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.</p>","PeriodicalId":19352,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and health","volume":" ","pages":"2601060241281765"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","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}
