Absolute and energy-adjusted nutrient and food intakes between the FFQ and 24-HDR were compared using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test, correlations, Bland-Altman analysis, cross-classification, and weighted kappa analysis. <b>Results:</b> There were no significant differences in reported absolute intakes between the FFQ and 24-HDR for carbohydrates, whole grains, white meat, beta-carotene, vitamin K, sodium, and selenium. Spearman's correlation coefficients between the FFQ and 24-HDR ranged from 0.09 (trans fatty acids) to 0.5 (potassium) for absolute intakes. Correlation decreased after energy adjustment. Bland-Altman analysis showed that the FFQ overestimated intakes compared with 24-HDR and that the limits of agreement were wide. The average percentage of pregnant women classified into the same or adjacent quartile of intake by both methods was 73%. Weighted kappa values ranged from -0.02 (white meat) to 0.33 (magnesium). <b>Conclusion:</b> Our findings showed that the semi-quantitative FFQ is a useful tool in ranking pregnant women from the Emirati population according to their dietary intake.

However, these treatments often inflict damage on non-target tissues, necessitating the development of effective radioprotective agents. Zinc, known for its diversified role under various pathological conditions, has emerged as a potential protective agent against radiation-induced injuries due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating properties.AimThis review aims to evaluate the potential of zinc in mitigating the adverse effects associated with radiation-based therapies, focusing on its protective role in normal tissue injury.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted using multiple databases, including PubMed, NCBI, SciFinder, Google Scholar and Science Direct. Relevant studies assessing the radioprotective effects of zinc were identified and analysed to summarise its efficacy and potential benefits in radiation therapy.ResultsThe review highlights the beneficial effects of zinc in managing radiation-induced adverse effects, such as oral mucositis, skin injury, dermatitis, xerostomia, dysgeusia, dysosmia, bone marrow regeneration and oxidative stress reduction. Zinc's role as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, along with its ability to regulate immune system homeostasis, underpins these protective effects.ConclusionsZinc shows promising potential as a radioprotective agent in mitigating the adverse effects of radiation-based therapies. Despite the positive preclinical and clinical findings, further randomised trials with larger sample sizes and rigorous methodologies are needed to confirm zinc's efficacy. Additionally, further research is warranted to explore zinc's potential in addressing other radiation-induced events, ultimately contributing to improved patient care during radiation therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":19352,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and health","volume":" ","pages":"2601060251329404"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144102301","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}
