SNAP Participation as a Moderator of Food and Nutrition Security and Combined Cardiometabolic Conditions: A Mixed Regression Approach

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(3), P. 576 - 576

Published: Feb. 5, 2025

Objectives: To examine the relationships between food security, nutrition Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation, and cardiometabolic outcomes, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or diabetes, among low-income U.S. individuals. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 486 participants (April–June 2021) assessed security outcomes. Mixed-effects logistic regression models adjusted for covariates included a random effect state residence. Moderation analyses evaluated SNAP participation’s impact. Results: Very low was associated with higher odds having at least one condition, such as diabetes (AOR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.04–3.69; p 0.04). moderated this relationship (p-interaction 0.007), non-participants experiencing significantly risk. Non-SNAP very had 3.17 (95% CI 1.17–8.61) times condition. Among participants, not condition (OR 1.62; 0.64–4.13). Higher lower 0.59; 0.41–0.83; 0.002). Conclusions: participation mitigate risks, underscoring their importance in public health interventions.

Ultra-Processed Foods and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: What Is the Evidence So Far?

Biomolecules, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(2), P. 307 - 307

Published: Feb. 19, 2025

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are that have undergone extensive industrial processing with the addition of various substances in order to make them more tasty, eye-catching, and easy consume. UPFs usually rich sugars, salt, saturated fat, whereas they lack essential nutrients. The aim this review is elaborate upon current evidence associating overconsumption development type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We will discuss data interconnecting T2DM risk further describe specific ingredients been suggested increase risk. In addition, we thoroughly explain how additives, such as emulsifiers or sweeteners, other compounds formed during manufacturing, acrylamide acrolein, packaging, bisphenol-A, proposed be implicated pathogenesis insulin resistance T2DM.

Encouraging Tactics with Genetically Modified Probiotics to Improve Immunity for the Prevention of Immune-Related Diseases including Cardio-Metabolic Disorders

Biomolecules, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13(1), P. 10 - 10

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway may play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of obesity and diabetes mellitus, as well metabolic syndromes, which could also be risk factors for cardio-metabolic disorders. Consistently, it has been shown that beneficial effects convoyed by modulation against development these diseases. Importantly, can modulated probiotics. Probiotics have a variety properties, with potential treating specific diseases such immune-related diseases, are valuable to human health.

Nutrients or processing? An analysis of food and drink items from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey based on nutrient content, the NOVA classification, and front of package traffic light labelling

Abstract Objective To compare food and drink in the UK National Diet Nutrition Survey (NDNS) database based on their front of package label multiple traffic light (FOPL MTL) score, nutrient content NOVA classification. Design cross-sectional profiling analysis. Setting The supply. Food items were obtained from Intake24, electronic dietary assessment method used NDNS Year 12 (2019–20). Main outcome measures Nutrient content, FOPL MTL classification each item. Items coded into minimally processed (MPF), culinary ingredients (PCI), (PF) ultra-processed (UPF) according to classification, green, amber red lights Standards Agency guidance fat, saturated total sugar salt per 100g. Results Out 2,980 items, 55.4% UPF, 33.1% MPF, 9.5% PF, 2.0% PCI. UPFs contained greater sugar, 100g than MPFs, had a higher energy density proportion hyper-palatable (p<0.001). PFs more MPFs (all p<0.001), but similar amount sugar. odds containing (odds ratio (OR): 4.59 [95%CI: 3.79 5.57]), lower green (OR: 0.05 0.03, 0.10]), an unhealthier overall score 7.0 6.1 8.2], compared with MPFs. When considering without any lights, UPF still (p < 0.001). However, number have healthier scores. Conclusions Most are UPF. nutritional profile likely be energy-dense hyper-palatable.

Introduction Obesity increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. A major driver has been increased availability ultra-processed food (UPF), now main UK dietary energy source. The Eatwell Guide (EWG) provides public guidance for a healthy balanced diet but offers no UPF guidance. Whether can largely consist UPFs is unclear. No study assessed whether health impact adhering to guidelines depends on processing. Furthermore, our will assess 6-month behavioural support programme aimed at reducing intake in people with overweight/obesity high intakes. Methods analysis UPDATE 2×2 cross-over randomised controlled trial intervention. Fifty-five adults aged ≥18, (≥25 <40 kg/m 2 ), ≥50% habitual from receive an 8-week minimally processed (MPF) delivered their home, both following EWG recommendations, random order, 4-week washout period. All food/drink be provided. Participants then 6 months reduce intake. primary outcome difference weight change between MPF diets baseline week 8.
