The study was designed as a cross-sectional analysis and data were collected through an online form.

A significantly higher proportion of ESp skipped breakfast compared to nESp (68.3% vs 46.2%) (p=0.004). The adherence rates to the Mediterranean diet were comparable between the two groups, with 30.4% of ESp and 36.4% of nESp adhering to the dietary pattern. Although physical activity, sleep duration, and Mediterranean diet adherence were similar between groups, esports players reported higher consumption of alcohol, energy drinks, and processed foods, which might increase the risk of obesity and metabolic disorders.

Therefore, this review was conducted for a better perspective on the AF exposure during pregnancy or infancy, highlighting how exposure through the mother (via placenta and breast milk) and directly through infant foods ultimately affects infant health. The literature suggests that AF exposure during pregnancy may lead to maternal anaemia, premature delivery, pregnancy loss or decreased number of live births. AF crosses through the placenta and also passes through breast milk. AF exposure during pregnancy may also lead to deleterious effects on the fetus or infants such as reduced fetal growth, low birth weight, impairment of linear or long bone growth and developmental delay such as small head circumference and reduced brain size, stillbirth or fetal death. It may also have an adverse effect on some organs and organ systems, causing aberrations such as neonatal jaundice and disrupting hormone synthesis. In the Indian context, there are limited clinical studies to assess the health effects of AF exposure during pregnancy. For the first time, we have made an attempt to estimate the AF exposure by calculating the AF estimated daily intake using the empirical formulae based on several reported studies. However, more research needs to be undertaken to understand the AF exposure outcomes during pregnancy.

Muscle histology (fiber distribution: small, 0-20 μm; small-medium, 20-60 μm; large-medium, 60-100 μm; and large, ≥100 μm diameter) revealed four growth phases: hyperplasia (2.2-15 g), hypertrophy (15-50 g), hyperplasia (50-150 g), and hypertrophy (150-350 g).

The PP diet without additives altered fiber recruitment, while PP+A2 enhanced hypertrophy, increasing large (>100 μm) fibers.

PDI trajectory was not significantly associated with depression or life satisfaction. HPDI trajectory had no significant association with depression. However, compared with low HPDI trajectory, participants in the high (<i>β</i> = 0·185, 95 % CI: 0·032, 0·337) HPDI trajectories had higher life satisfaction. Compared with the low UPDI trajectory, participants in the high UPDI trajectory groups were associated with a higher risk of depression (OR = 1·793, 95 % CI: 1·124, 2·861). Further, the medium (<i>β</i> = -0·145, 95 % CI: -0·273, -0·018) and high (<i>β</i> = -0·335, 95 % CI: -0·478, -0·191) UPDI trajectory were associated with poor life satisfaction. Dietary interventions should be prioritised to address the persistent unhealthy dietary habits among Chinese older adults, with particular emphasis on reducing UPDI to enhance mental health by promoting intake of healthy plant-based and animal-based foods while avoiding unhealthy plant-based foods.</p>","PeriodicalId":9257,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Nutrition","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145084953","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}
