Long Distance Race

Long-distance race car drivers are classified as athletes. The sport is physically and mentally demanding, requiring long hours of practice. Therefore, optimal dietary intake is essential for health and performance of the athlete. The aim of the study was to evaluate dietary intake and to compare the data with dietary recommendations for athletes and for the general adult population according to the German Nutrition Society (DGE). A 24-h dietary recall during a competition preparation phase was obtained from 16 male race car drivers (28.3 ± 6.1 years, body mass index (BMI) of 22.9 ± 2.3 kg/m2). The mean intake of energy, nutrients, water and alcohol was recorded. The mean energy, vitamin B2, vitamin E, folate, fiber, calcium, water and alcohol intake were 2124 ± 814 kcal/day, 1.3 ± 0.5 mg/day, 12.5 ± 9.5 mg/day, 231.0 ± 90.9 ug/day, 21.4 ± 9.4 g/day, 1104 ± 764 mg/day, 3309 ± 1522 mL/day and 0.8 ± 2.5 mL/day respectively. Our study indicated that many of the nutrients studied, including energy and carbohydrate, were below the recommended dietary intake for both athletes and the DGE.

Aims: To investigate the association of six-year cumulative level of socioeconomic neighbourhood disadvantage and population density with subsequent adherence to dietary recommendations, controlling for preceding dietary adherence, in adults in Finland. Methods: Population-based Health and Social Support (HeSSup) study participants from four age groups (20–24, 30–34, 40–44 and 50–54 years at baseline in 1998). Data on diet and alcohol consumption were obtained from the 2003 and 2012 surveys and information on neighbourhoods from Statistics Finland Grid database ( n = 10,414 men and women). Participants diet was measured as adherence to Nordic Nutrition recommendation (score range 0–100). Neighbourhood disadvantage was measured by median household income, proportion of those with primary education only and unemployment rate, and population density by the number of adult population between years 2007 and 2012. Linear models were used to assess the associations of neighbourhood characteristics with the score for adherence to dietary recommendations in 2012. Results: Cumulative neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with slightly weaker (1.49 (95% confidence interval (CI) −1.89 to −1.09) point decrease in dietary score) adherence while higher population density was associated with better (0.70 (95% CI 0.38−1.01) point increase in dietary score) adherence to dietary recommendations. These associations remained after controlling for prior dietary habits, sociodemographic, chronic cardio-metabolic diseases, and severe life events. Conclusions: These longitudinal findings support the hypothesis that neighbourhood characteristics affect dietary habits.

Background: Deficiency of vitamin B12 (B12) and folate (FA) leads to a wide spectrum of disorders that affect all age groups. However, reports on B12 and FA status in healthy adults in India are limited. Hence, we determined the plasma levels and dietary intake of B12 and FA in the adult population. Methods: We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study in an urban setup among 630 apparently healthy adults distributed into 3 age groups: 21-40, 41-60 and >60 years. Plasma concentrations of B12 and FA were analyzed by radio immunoassay and dietary intake by 24-hour recall method. Results: The overall prevalence of FA deficiency was 12%, but there was no significant difference in plasma FA concentrations among the groups. While the overall prevalence of B12 deficiency was 35%, it was significantly higher in the 21-40 (44%) and 41-60 age groups (40%) when compared with the >60 group (30%). B12 deficiency was higher in vegetarians (54%) compared to those consuming mixed diet (31%), and the reverse was the case with FA. However, the dietary intakes of FA and B12 were not significantly different among the groups. Conclusions: These results indicate a higher prevalence of B12 deficiency in apparently healthy adults in an urban setup.

Monitoring dietary intake patterns among children is important in order to explore and prevent the onset of adult health problems. The aim of the present study was to compare children's dietary intakes with national recommendations and to determine whether sex or ethnic differences were evident. This was done using a methodology that allows assessment of intake from the major components of the Food Guide Pyramid developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA: ). The sample studied included 110 African-American and Caucasian males and females (mean age 9·9 years, BMI 20·1 kg/m2) from Birmingham, AL, USA, who were participating in a study investigating the development of obesity. Dietary data were based on three 24 h recalls and food group intake was determined using the USDA Pyramid Servicing Database. The results indicated that a high percentage of subjects failed to meet the recommended number of servings from each of the food groups. For example, only 5 % and 9 % met fruit and dietary group recommendations respectively. Consumption of foods from the Pyramid ‘tip’ (including discretionary fat and added sugar) contributed almost 50 % of the diet. African-Americans were more likely to meet requirements for the meat group, with a higher proportion of Caucasians meeting dietary recommendations. Males were more likely to meet the vegetable group guidelines although females consumed more energy per day from discretionary fat. In conclusion, these results suggest that implementation of nutrition education programmes may be important for promoting healthy nutrition among American children.

Abstract Background Few studies have been conducted with reference to dietary intake among adults in Hungary and none among Roma. In this study, we assess dietary intake of both Hungarian general (HG) and Hungarian Roma (HR) adult population and provide an up-to-date preview on highly health-relevant macro- and micro-nutrient intakes and dietary profile of the HG and HR adult population. Methods The study population comprised 797 Hungarian adults (HG: N = 410, response rate=82% and HR: N = 387, response rate=79%), representative in terms of geographic, sex and age distribution with the general population aged 20-64 years, from the 2018 GINOP Complex Health Survey. Energy and selected nutrient intakes were calculated with NutriComp v.3.0, based on a qualitatively validated double 24 hours dietary recall, adopted for the Hungarian population. Results Total daily energy and selected nutrients intake among HG and HR adult subjects are reported. In spite of the presence of diluted underestimation effects, intake of nutrients with high relevance to health (i.e. sugars, sodium, saturated fats, cholesterol, etc.) remains relatively high, while consumption of fibre-rich products and beneficial nutrients appear to be low, particularly among Roma. Considering both health and environmental impact of the diet, animal-based proteins are way over the target value (i.e. 6%E) of the recent EAT-Lancet report. Conclusions Findings provide data on dietary patterns of HG and HR with nutrient-level estimations, highlighting the importance of establishing and integrating Roma nutrition in national surveillance and monitoring systems for key dietary risk factors. Public health strategies to modify current dietary patterns in Hungary are a great opportunity for improving nutrition, health and environmental impact of dietary choices, especially within the current framework of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025). Key messages Our study highlights the importance of establishing and integrating Roma nutrition in national surveillance and monitoring systems for key dietary risk factors. Current findings warrant further investigations of the nutritional and dietary patterns among Hungarian General and Roma adult population and their impact on health and environment.

Abstract Background and Aims Nutritional management is an important, but complex, component of treatment for people on haemodialysis. Dietary recommendations are poorly adhered to, and novel strategies to improve self-management are needed. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a mobile phone text message intervention to improve dietary behaviours in people on haemodialysis. Method We conducted a six-month, multi-centre randomised controlled trial (2:1) in patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Participants who were randomised to receive the KIDNEYTEXT intervention received three semi-tailored text messages per week for six months plus usual care. The control group received usual care. The primary outcome was a composite outcome to determine feasibility, using: recruitment rate, retention rate, adherence to dietary recommendations and acceptability. Adherence to dietary recommendations was defined as meeting 3 of 4 nutrition guidelines (potassium, phosphorus, sodium and protein). Acceptability was evaluated by semi-structured interviews to elicit perspectives regarding satisfaction, acceptability and change in behaviours. Secondary outcomes included serum electrolytes, interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and dietary intake. Trial registration - ACTRN12617001084370. Results In total, 130 participants were recruited (87 intervention, 43 control) from six haemodialysis units in Sydney, Australia. 48% of eligible patients consented to participate and 114 participants (88%) completed the trial. Whilst there was no significant difference in adherence to dietary recommendations at 6 months (p=0.14), there were significant reductions in dietary intake of potassium (p=0.01), phosphorus (p=0.003), sodium (p=0.031) and protein (p=0.024) in intervention participants compared to control. Compared to control participants, intervention arm had a significant increase in the number of participants meeting IDWG guidelines (p=0.005) and significant reduction in average IDWG (p=0.024). There was a significant reduction in the number of phosphate binders prescribed in the intervention arm compared to control at 6 months (p=0.03). There was no significant difference in serum electrolytes between the 2 arms at 6 months. Semi-structured interviews explored acceptability, with 5 themes emerging: clear and comprehensive, engaging with consistent and relevant content, maintaining attention with timely reminders, sustaining interest through ongoing care and generic messages inadequate to prompt dietary change. Conclusion A mobile phone text message intervention targeting dietary behaviours in people on haemodialysis is feasible and has the potential to change dietary behaviours and improve clinical parameters, such as fluid management and pill burden. Future trials evaluating the effect of a mobile phone text message intervention on patient-centred and clinical outcomes in the haemodialysis population is warranted.

Background: There is limited information on the dietary intakes of people with intellectual disability (ID) living in group homes. Objective: To describe and evaluate dietary intake in people with ID. Method: Dietary intake was assessed in a convenience sample of people with ID living in group homes. Dietary assessment used three-day weighed food records and digital food photography. Intakes were compared to the Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) and dietary recommendations. Results: A sample of 33 adults, (men (M): n = 14; women (W): n = 19), mean age 51 ± 14 years, was recruited from seven group homes. Mean daily energy intake was low (M: 7.4 MJ; W: 7.0 MJ; p = 0.46), similar to levels recommended for bed rest. Many participants had intakes below the estimated average requirements (EARs) for the nutrients, magnesium (M: 86%; W: 63%), calcium (M: 43%; W: 78%), iodine (M: 43%; W: 47%) and zinc (M: 43%). Less than half of the recommended daily servings were consumed for vegetables (men and women) and dairy foods (women). Conclusion: Nutrient intake and diet quality of the participants in the group homes studied was poor. Education and policy to support healthier diets is required to improve dietary intake of people with intellectual disability, living in group homes.

AbstractObjectiveFew dietary surveys have been done with reference to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, in India, which is considered to be the diabetes capital of the world. We report on the dietary intake of urban adults living in Chennai, South India.DesignA population-based cross-sectional study.SettingA representative population of urban Chennai in southern India.SubjectsThe study population comprised 2042 individuals aged ≥20 years selected from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiological Study (CURES). Dietary intake was measured using a validated and previously published interviewer-administered semi-quantitative meal-based FFQ.ResultsThe mean daily energy intake was 10 393 (sd 2347) kJ (male: 10953 (sd 2364) kJ v. female: 9832 (sd 233) kJ). Carbohydrates were the major source of energy (64 %), followed by fat (24 %) and protein (12 %). Refined cereals contributed to the bulk of the energy (45·8 %), followed by visible fats and oils (12·4 %) and pulses and legumes (7·8 %). However, energy supply from sugar and sweetened beverages was within the recommended levels. Intake of micronutrient-rich foods, such as fruit and vegetable consumption (265 g/d), and fish and seafoods (20 g/d), was far below the FAO/WHO recommendation. Dairy and meat products intake was within the national recommended intake.ConclusionsThe diet of this urban South Indian population consists mainly of refined cereals with low intake of fish, fruit and vegetables, and all of these could possibly contribute to the risk of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes in this population.
