Recent studies suggest it may also benefit cognitive function and depression treatment. However, data on its effects in older adults are scarce, highlighting the need for further research in this population. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessing five weeks of creatine monohydrate (CrM) supplementation combined with physical training in older adults (≥75 years). Participants will be divided into four groups: placebo (PL), placebo with multicomponent training (PL + MT), creatine monohydrate supplementation (CrM), and creatine monohydrate with multicomponent training (CrM + MT). Evaluations will be conducted before, during, and after the intervention, and again after a five-week washout period. The training program includes supervised sessions twice a week over four weeks, focusing on resistance, cardiovascular, balance, reaction, and agility exercises. Functional capacity and fall risk will be measured, alongside physical tests such as handgrip strength and one-repetition maximum (1RM) tests for leg press, bench press, seated row, and leg extension. Cognitive and emotional assessments will also be conducted during the intervention. The results of this study aim to increase our understanding of the effects of CrM supplementation in older adults. This study is expected to generate valuable information on the impact and safety of this nutrition and exercise strategy, and its application can be extended to a variety of health conditions.","PeriodicalId":9257,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"1-32"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147833973","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}

This study aims to investigate the effects of the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), a measure of the inflammatory potential of diet, on cardiometabolic risk factors in women with PCOS. We hypothesized positive associations between DII and adverse cardiometabolic profile in PCOS. In this case-control study, thirty-eight women with PCOS (mean age 21.6 years, BMI 26.3 kg/m2) and 39 age- and BMI-matched healthy controls (mean age 21.2 years, BMI 25.9 kg/m2) were included. Clinical, hormonal and biochemical assessments were conducted. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire to calculate DII. Women with PCOS exhibited significantly higher fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and a more adverse lipid profile compared to healthy controls, indicating increased cardiometabolic risk. These differences remained significant after adjusting for the DII, suggesting they are primarily attributable to PCOS, as shown by ANCOVA analysis. In contrast, higher TyG, CMI, and VAI values observed in the PCOS group were largely explained by DII. Furthermore, DII was positively associated with anthropometric and biochemical markers, including waist-to-hip ratio, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and cardiovascular risk indices, indicating that higher dietary inflammation is linked to poorer cardiometabolic health in women with PCOS. A pro-inflammatory dietary pattern, reflected by a higher DII score, is associated with unfavorable cardiometabolic risk factors in women with PCOS. These findings underscore the importance of dietary inflammation in the pathophysiology of PCOS and support anti-inflammatory dietary strategies to mitigate associated risks.","PeriodicalId":9257,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147833873","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}

Recent studies have demonstrated a lower LDL-cholesterol concentration in rodents after intake of cetoleic acid (CA, C22:1n-11), found in pelagic fish species such as herring. The primary aim was to investigate the effect of consuming capsules containing CA on LDL-cholesterol concentration in adults with overweight or obesity. The study was designed as a randomised clinical trial with two arms. Eighty participants were enrolled, and data from 75 participants were included in the statistical analyses. Participants consumed capsules containing either a CA concentrate (CECO group; 1480 mg CA and 232 mg EPA per day) or soyabean oil mixed with a n-3 PUFA concentrate without CA as comparator arm (SOYO3 group; 258 mg EPA/day) for eight weeks. The within-group changes in LDL-cholesterol were compared using ANCOVA with changes in body fat percentage as covariate.

Chrononutrition, which focuses on aligning nutrient intake with circadian rhythms, has emerged as a promising strategy to improve metabolic health. Protein intake plays a key role in glucose homeostasis, and high-protein hypocaloric diets have shown benefits in people with type 2 diabetes. However, the effects of higher evening protein intake in shift workers remain unclear. This trial aims to analyze the effect of three hypocaloric diets differing in macronutrient composition and distribution throughout the day on glycemic control, body composition, and other secondary outcomes in shift workers with overweight or obesity and prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. This is a 12-week, three-arm, parallel-group, single-blind randomized controlled trial including 126 shift workers. Participants are randomized equally to: (A) a high-protein diet with protein-enriched dinner (50-60% of daily protein); (B) a high-protein diet with protein-restricted dinner (10-20% of daily protein); or (C) a normoproteic control diet with usual protein distribution. Primary outcomes include changes in glycemic control and DXA-derived body composition. Secondary outcomes are lipid profile, sleep quality, and quality of life. Other clinical and lifestyle parameters are evaluated to monitor changes throughout the intervention. Assessments are performed at baseline, week 6, and week 12. All analyses will follow the intention-to-treat principle.

While clinical interventions suggest improved body composition with higher LA intake, observational evidence using dietary data is inconsistent, and few studies consider circulating fatty acids or longitudinal changes in adiposity. Using multivariable linear models, we evaluated cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between omega-6 PUFAs and waist circumference (WC), weight, and whole-body fat mass (FM) in the UK Biobank Cohort. Cross-sectionally (N=272,587, 54% female, mean age 57 years), higher circulating LA was inversely associated with WC, weight, and FM. Participants in the highest versus lowest quintile of LA had significantly smaller WC [-11.04 (-11.17, -10.91) cm], lower weight [-11.77 (-11.92, -11.62) kg], and lower FM [-7.87 (-7.97, -7.77) kg]. Associations for total omega-6 were generally consistent with those for LA. Conversely, non-LA omega-6 was positively associated with WC [1.46 (1.32, 1.61) cm], weight [2.41 (2.25, 2.58) kg], and FM [1.81 (1.69, 1.92) kg]. Longitudinal analyses (N=58,335, 51% female, mean age 55 years) largely corroborate these patterns, with annual changes in WC, weight, and FM inversely associated with LA and positively associated with non-LA omega-6. Higher circulating LA, but not non-LA omega-6, was associated with lower WC, weight, and FM both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Our findings potentially support dietary recommendations to promote LA-rich oils. Divergent associations between LA and non-LA omega-6 caution against treating omega-6 PUFAs as a homogenous group.

Anthropometric measurements were collected using standardized procedures. Overweight and obesity were diagnosed according to the World Health Organization recommendations for Asian populations, with a cut-off of BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine factors independently associated with overweight and obesity.Results: Among 2,000 students, 25.5% were overweight or obese (12.3% overweight, 13.2% obese), with prevalence significantly higher in males than females (35.1% vs. 17.5%, p < 0.001). Regional differences were observed, with underweight more common in Central Vietnam and overweight and obesity most prevalent in the South, p < 0.05. Multivariable analysis showed significant associations between overweight or obesity and male sex (OR = 2.8), ethnic minority status (OR = 1.7), Southern residence (OR = 1.9), high waist to hip ratio (OR = 4.2), and being married (OR = 3.2). Prolonged weight loss dieting was positively associated (OR = 2.9), while sleeping 8 to 10 hours per day was associated with lower odds (OR = 0.6).Conclusion: Overweight and obesity affect approximately one in four university students in Vietnam. Targeted prevention and long-term weight management strategies are needed for young adults in academic settings.","PeriodicalId":9257,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147833514","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}
