Methods: a cross-sectional, comparative study was conducted with 549 participants aged 18 to 35, who completed self-report questionnaires to assess anxiety, stress, and eating styles.

Methods: based on data from the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the study included adults of ages 40 years and older in the United States. To explore the correlation between TyG and its related indicators, as well as TG/HDL-c with hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis, multiple regression models were employed.

Lactose Intolerance is one of the most prevalent types of food intolerance. Primary lactose intolerance is linked to genetic factors, Lactase Non-Persistence phenotype, while secondary lactose intolerance might be a temporary condition resulting from intestinal damage and loss of disaccharidase activity. Fructose absorption is an energy-independent process, leading to limited and variable absorption. Fructose undergoes quick absorption into the bloodstream through active transporters, specifically GLUT-5 and GLUT-2, found in the initial segment of the small intestine. The management of carbohydrate intolerance requires precise testing methods, accurate diagnostics, and customized dietary interventions. Genetic testing plays a crucial role in determining an individual's genetic profile, helping decide whether permanent restrictions on specific nutrients, such as lactose, are necessary. Objective: this research aims to understand the origin of suspected carbohydrate intolerance, combining genetic testing with breath tests to enhance the efficacy of treatment plans, as customized dietary interventions will be based on the patient's genetic profile and carbohydrate absorption capacity. Material and methods: a combination of genetic testing (lactase non-persistence and celiac disease risk) and breath test for lactose and fructose were performed. Recommendations such as low lactose, low fructose or gluten-free diets; or a combination of them were provided based on each patient's testing profile results. Results: after the nutritional intervention, a significant improvement was noted in all gastrointestinal symptoms, except for reflux and nausea, and in all of the extraintestinal symptoms.

Methods: in this study, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the potential causal effect of adding salt to foods on bone mineral density (BMD). Utilizing data from the UK Biobank to estimate adding salt to foods based on self-reported consumption and genetic association data for BMD from the Genetic Factors for Osteoporosis (GEFOS) consortium, we examined various BMD sites: forearm (distal 1/3 radius), lumbar spine (L1-4), femoral neck, total body BMD (TB-BMD), and age-specific TB-BMD (0-15, 15-30, 30-45, 45-60, and over 60 years). The primary analysis used the inverse variance weighted method, supplemented by sensitivity analyses employing multiple MR methods, MR-PRESSO, and leave-one-out approach. Pleiotropy and heterogeneity were assessed using MR-Egger intercept, funnel plots, Cochran's Q, and Rucker's Q. Results: we found a suggestive association between higher frequency of adding salt to foods and decreased TB-BMD in Europeans over 60 (OR = 0.84, 95 % CI = 0.721-0.979, p = 0.026). This association remained robust across different methods and sensitivity analyses, showing no apparent heterogeneity or pleiotropy.
