Nutrients, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(5), P. 756 - 756

Background/Objectives: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality globally. To reduce prevalence NCDs, World Health Organization issued guidelines for a healthy lifestyle, which have been adopted in various countries. Our study aimed to evaluate dietary habits ethnic Hungarian population Romania, allowing us identify potential differences nutritional behavior compared country’s general population. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, questionnaire-based was conducted collect information on eating behavior, food purchasing habits, patterns among Hungarians, largest minority group Romania. The obtained data were interpreted using multivariate analysis (MVDA), including principal component models (PCA-X) establish pattern recognition clustering, orthogonal partial least squares discriminant (OPLS-DA) examine class between identified clusters. Results: total 247 valid questionnaires evaluated; most represented groups females (67.2%), young adults aged 18 30 (56.3%), individuals with normal body mass index (54.7%), those higher education level (45.7%). Health-conscious behaviors more characteristic middle-aged older adults, females, level. Young appear varied diet, but overconsumption unhealthy products lack interest is evident. Conclusions: Appropriate necessary all age groups; however, programs targeting adult Hungarians especially important, as expressed little habits. Further research examining underlying relationship cultural factors well socio-economic could offer new opportunities promote lifestyle.

Sleep Duration Is Associated with Fruit and Vegetable Intake in Lower Income Adults from the San Francisco Bay Area: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(5), P. 848 - 848

Published: Feb. 28, 2025

Background: Few studies have examined whether sleep is related to dietary intake in aging adults. To address this gap, study investigated (1) the associations between duration and quality with fruits vegetables (FV), fiber, fat lower-income midlife older adults (2) sex differences these relationships. Methods: Baseline data from 163 ethnically diverse, NIH-funded Steps for Change trial were analyzed. Dietary was assessed using Block Fruit/Vegetable/Fiber Fat Intake Screeners, operationalized as weekly servings. Sleep (hours per night) self-reported via Stanford WELL Life Scale. Linear regression models association FV, intake, adjusting potential confounding covariates separate quality. Sex tested interaction terms, stratified also used explore differences. Results: The sample 73.2% female, a mean age of 70.5 (SD = 9.7) years (range: 41-99). 6.8 (1.2) hours night, 79.2% reporting fairly or very good Mean servings 24 7 18 fat. positively associated FV (β 2.2; p 0.02). marginally significant (p 0.08), positive males 5.5; 0.02) but not females 0.9; 0.41). No found fiber any outcomes. Conclusions: This that longer higher females. These findings suggest possibility sleep-diet relationship among populations merit further exploration longitudinal studies.

Healthy dietary patterns in relation to cognitive performance and Alzheimer's disease mortality

The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer s Disease, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 100100 - 100100

Dietary factors play a major role in cognitive aging, but few studies have assessed and compared the associations between specific dietary patterns Alzheimer's disease (AD) mortality. We included 27,773 U.S. participants (mean age = 59.8 years, 51.4 % female) from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1998 2016, with follow-up for AD mortality until December 2019. Five pattern scores were calculated utilizing one (1999-2002) or two repeated (2003-2016) 24hr recalls, including Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015), healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI), alternate Mediterranean (aMED), Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH), Mediterranean-DASH Intervention Neurodegeneration Delay (MIND) scores. utilized Cox proportional hazard models evaluate of these A total 260 deaths occurred during median 9.8 years. Higher aMED score was associated lower risk (HRT3vs T1: 0.72, 95 CI, 0.52-1.00, p-trend 0.041). In sub-sample 2,713 NHANES 2011-2014, 432 individuals had prevalent psychometric mild impairment (p-MCI). aMED, MIND, HEI-2015, hPDI odds p-MCI. The potential contributors higher intake levels vegetables nuts, moderate alcohol consumption, level sweets. more favorable outcomes among middle-aged older adults, underscoring importance healthy long-term benefits brain health.
