AbstractObjectiveTo explore how different diets may affect human brain development and if genetic and environmental factors play a part.DesignCohort study.SettingUK Biobank data were collected from 22 centres across the UK.ParticipantsOnly white British individuals free of Alzheimer’s or dementia diseases were included in the study, where 336517 participants had quality-controlled genetic data, and 18879 participants had qualified brain MRI data.Main outcome measuresGrey matter volume, intake of cereal and coffee, body mass index and blood cholesterol level.ResultsWe investigated diet effects in the UK Biobank data and discovered anti-correlated brain-wide grey matter volume (GMV)-association patterns between coffee and cereal intake, coincidence with their anti-correlated genetic constructs. These genetic factors may further affect people’s lifestyle habits and body/blood fat levels through the mediation of cereal/coffee intake, and the brain-wide expression pattern of gene CPLX3, a dedicated marker of subplate neurons that regulate cortical development and plasticity, may underlie the shared GMV-association patterns among the coffee/cereal intake and cognitive functions.ConclusionsOur findings revealed that high-cereal and low-coffee diets shared similar brain and genetic constructs, leading to long-term beneficial associations regarding cognitive, BMI and other metabolic measures. This study has important implications for public health, especially during the pandemic, given the poorer outcomes of COVID-19 patients with greater BMIs.

Antiretroviral administration affects weight gain and inflammation in HIV patients. The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship of body mass index with inflamation parameters in HIV patients who ARV therapy. In 40 HIV patients (stage III-IV)   treated with ARV (FDC 87%, Durival Efaviren 7.5%, Tenofovir, Huviral, Aluvia 2.5%, and Tenofovir, Huviral, Neviral 2.5%) conducted observational analytics with crosssectional design. CD4 examination was carried out flowcytometrically, BMI measured by formula weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2), waist circumference (WC) measured by ribbon between costae arcus and anterior superior iliac spine, albumin measurement with Brom Cresol Green (BCG) method. There is a significant correlation between BMI with WC and CD4 (r=0.61, p<0.001 and r=0.38, p<0.001, respectively). There is no correlation between BMI and duration of ARV treatment, albumin and leptin. ARV treatment in HIV patients will affect weight and inflammatory markers.
