Abstract Nutritional studies shifted the focus of attention to the analysis of food quality, addressing general diet considering the foods, food groups, and nutrients included. This study evaluates the association between diet quality index, food and nutrient intake, and metabolic parameters of adolescents from Recife, northeastern Brazil. It is a cross-sectional study involving adolescents aged 12 to 19 years. Food intake was assessed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire to estimate the adapted Diet Quality Index for Adolescents for Brazilians (DQIA-BR-A). The analysis included metabolic parameters (glucose, lipid profile, apolipoprotein A1 and B, 𝛼-1-acid glycoprotein, retinol, 𝛽-carotene, 𝛼-tocopherol, 25(OH)D, and parathormone). Multiple linear regression analysis between the DQIA-BR-A and daily nutrient intake showed a positive correlation (R2adjusted = 0.29) for linoleic fatty acid, calcium, and folate, and a negative correlation for oleic fatty acid, carbohydrates, and vitamin B2 and C, in addition to a low correlation (R2adjusted < 0.07) with all metabolic parameters. However, the DQIA-BR-A correlated significantly (R2adjusted = 0.62; p < 0.001) with food intake. In this way, the DQIA-BR-A can be considered as an accurate and useful instrument for assessing the overall quality of adolescent diets. The diet of the adolescents was considered to be of moderate quality. Changes are required to ensure a balanced diet, considering the high sugar intake and consumption of sweets as well as the low consumption of vegetables, milk and dairy products, oils, fats, and seeds. Such changes should prioritize the consumption of foods rich in essential fatty acids and poor in saturated fat.

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the use of the Nutrabem (São Paulo, Brasil) mobile application as a tool for measurement of food intake among university students. Methods: Cross-sectional study of a random sample of 40 undergraduate students at the Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Campus Baixada Santista. Food intake data were estimated using the Nutrabem app and the 24-hour dietary recall. Intakes of energy, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, calcium, iron, and vitamin C were calculated. The intake of food groups and diet quality were evaluated by the Diet Quality Index associated with the Digital Food Guide. The agreement between the methods was assessed using the Pearson's correlation coefficient and the Student' t-test. Results: Strong correlations were observed between energy (0.77), carbohydrates (0.82) and protein (0.83). The groups: poultry, fish, and eggs; beef and pork; refined grains and breads; and fruits and legumes showed strong correlations (between 0.76 and 0.85). There were moderate correlations (0.59 and 0.71) between the groups sugars and sweets; whole grains, tubers and roots, milk and dairy products, animal fats, and the Diet Quality Index associated with the Digital Food Guide scores. Vegetables and leafy greens, nuts, and vegetable oils showed weak correlations (0.31 and 0.43). Homogeneity assessment revealed similarity between the results obtained by both methods (p>0.05) . Conclusion: The Nutrabem app can be used as a tool to assess dietary intake among university students since it produces results similar to those obtained by the 24-hour dietary recall method.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate changes in food intake after adolescents attended a food and nutrition education program at a non-profit institution. Methods: Fifty-four adolescents aged 16 to 19 years, of low socioeconomic level, enrolled in an non-governmental organization in São Paulo, underwent a nutritional intervention of six months consisting of six meetings with dieticians, as well as strategic communication and relationship actions. Body weight, height, body mass index, questionnaire on knowledge on nutrition and feeding practices, 24-hour recall, and diet quality assessment using the Diet Quality Index associated with the Digital Food Guide were collected at baseline and after the intervention. Dietary pattern improvement was defined as an increase of at least 5 points in Diet Quality Index associated with the Digital Food Guide. Results: Understanding of food labels increased, and the dietary patterns on weekdays and weekends improved by 33 and 37%, respectively. The intake of legumes, milk, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables increased (adequacy components). However, intakes of nuts and whole grains were low, and intake of moderation components was high. Conclusion: The program improved the dietary patterns of adolescents, making it a viable and inexpensive method to prevent disease and improve health and quality of life. In addition, the Diet Quality Index associated with the Digital Food Guide has proven to be a good nutritional tool for assessing changes in food intake and for guiding future counseling and nutritional intervention actions for this population.

Diet Quality Index

For the first time, the 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans include recommendations for infants and toddlers under 2 years old. We aimed to create a diet quality index based on a scoring system for ages 12 to 23.9 months, the Toddler Diet Quality Index (DQI), and evaluate its construct validity using 24 h dietary recall data collected from a national sample of children from the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) 2016. The mean (standard error) Toddler DQI was 49 (0.6) out of 100 possible points, indicating room for improvement. Toddlers under-consumed seafood, greens and beans, and plant proteins and over-consumed refined grains and added sugars. Toddler DQI scores were higher among children who were ever breastfed, lived in households with higher incomes, and who were Hispanic. The Toddler DQI performed as expected and offers a measurement tool to assess the dietary quality of young children in accordance with federal nutrition guidelines. This is important for providing guidance that can be used to inform public health nutrition policies, programs, and practices to improve diets of young children.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine how different scoring models for a diet quality index influence associations with mortality outcomes.DesignA study within the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Food and nutrient intakes were estimated using a diet history method. The index included six components: SFA, PUFA, fish and shellfish, fibre, fruit and vegetables, and sucrose. Component scores were assigned using predefined (based on dietary recommendations) and population-based cut-offs (based on median or quintile intakes). Multivariate Cox regression was used to model associations between index scores (low, medium, high) and all-cause and cause-specific mortality by sex.SettingMalmö, the third largest city in Sweden.SubjectsMen (n 6940) and women (n 10 186) aged 44–73 years. During a mean follow-up of 14·2 years, 2450 deaths occurred, 1221 from cancer and 709 from CVD.ResultsThe predictive capability of the index for mortality outcomes varied with type of scoring model and by sex. Stronger associations were seen among men using predefined cut-offs. In contrast, the quintile-based scoring model showed greater predictability for mortality outcomes among women. The scoring model using median-based cut-offs showed low predictability for mortality among both men and women.ConclusionsThe scoring model used for dietary indices may have a significant impact on observed associations with disease outcomes. The rationale for selection of scoring model should be included in studies investigating the association between dietary indices and disease. Adherence to the current dietary recommendations was in the present study associated with decreased risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, particularly among men.

Gut Microbiota Composition

Abstract Background and Aims According to some studies, it seems that advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) has the potential to cause alterations in the composition of patients gut microbiota. Most of these data have been provided by comparing the microbiota profile between patients and healthy individuals. However, well-known factors that influence the microbiota composition such as age, environment and diet were not considered in the majority of these comparative studies. In the present study, we aimed to compare the gut microbiota composition between patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and age-paired healthy household contacts. Method This is a cross-sectional study. Patients undergoing automated PD for at least 3 months, aged 18 to 75 years and clinically stable were enrolled. Those who were using prebiotics, probiotics, symbiotics and antibiotics within a period of 30 days before the study, were not included. A healthy control group was composed by individuals living in the same home and with similar age of the patients. Participants received sterile materials to collect the feces sample and were instructed to keep it refrigerated and bring to the clinic within a period of 12h. To evaluate the microbial profile, 16S ribosomal DNA was PCR-amplified and sequenced on an IlluminaMiSeq platform. Diet was evaluated using a 3-day food record and the diet quality was analyzed by a Brazilian Diet Quality Index. Rome IV questionnaire was applied to diagnose constipation. Nutritional status was assessed by 7-point subjective global assessment (SGA) and body mass index (BMI). Fasting blood samples were collected and clinical data were obtained from interviewing the participants and from the patient’s charts. Data are presented in percentage, mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range). Results Twenty patients (PD group) and 20 healthy household contacts (control group) were studied. In PD group: 70% were men, 53.5 (48.2 - 66) years old, 50% had diabetes, BMI 25.9 ± 4.8 kg/m², 95% well-nourished, 40% constipated, 14 (5.2 – 43.5) months on dialysis and 80% had residual diuresis. In control group: 30% were men, 51.5 (46.2 - 59.7) years old, BMI 28.7 ± 3.5 kg/m² and 20% constipated. Except of sex (p = 0.01) and BMI (p = 0.04), there were no other differences between groups. Comparing dietary intake between groups, no difference was found in daily energy [PD: 20.8 ± 5.4 kcal/kg/d vs. control: 22.0 ± 5.6 kcal/kg/d, p = 0.51], protein (PD: 0.8 ± 0.2 g/kg/d vs. control: 0.9 ± 0.2 g/kg/d, p = 0.23) and fiber [PD: 14.1 (10.7 – 21.1) g/d vs. 13.7 (10.4 – 18.0) g/d, p = 0.85]. In addition, the Diet Quality Index was also not different between groups (PD: 52.3 ± 15.6 vs. control: 54.5 ± 14.8, p = 0.65). Regarding microbiota composition, no difference was found between groups in alfa diversity (Figure 1), beta diversity (p&gt;0.05), and genera differential abundance (Figure 2). Conclusion In the present study, no difference in the gut microbiota composition was found between patients on PD and healthy household contacts sharing a similar environment and diet. This result suggests that CKD and PD seem not to alter significantly gut microbiota composition.

Latar Belakang: Prestasi olahraga bulutangkis cenderung menurun beberapa tahun terakhir. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi prestasi adalah daya tahan (endurance). Kualitas diet akan mempengaruhi daya tahan (endurance) sehingga seseorang dapat melakukan pekerjaan secara efektif dan efisien dalam waktu yang lama tanpa menimbulkan kelelahan yang berlebihan. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara kualitas diet dan daya tahan atlet bulutangkis remaja di Kota SemarangMetode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross sectional. Subjek adalah 60 atlet bulutangkis usia 12-18 tahun. Variabel perancu adalah aktivitas fisik dan persen lemak tubuh subjek. Pengukuran daya tahan dengan metode Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). Data yang dikumpulkan yaitu kebiasaan makan yang diambil menggunakan Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ) dan data aktivitas fisik menggunakan Physical Activity Quistionnaires for Adolescent (PAQ-A). Kualitas diet dinilai menggunakan kuisioner Diet Quality Index International (DQI-I). Data antropometri meliputi tinggi badan, berat badan, dan persen lemak tubuh. Uji kenormalan data dengan uji Kolmogorov-Smirnov dan  analisis data dengan uji korelasi Rank Spearman.Hasil: Terdapat 1,7% subjek yang memiliki kualitas diet baik. Sebagian besar atlet memiliki daya tahan yang cukup (35%). Persen lemak tubuh subjek sebagian besar tergolong optimal (61,7%). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara kualitas diet dan daya tahan (endurance) (r = 0,122, p=0,353). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan daya tahan (endurance) (r = 0,209, p= 0,109). Ada hubungan antara persen lemak tubuh dan daya tahan (endurance) ( r = -0,480, p=0,0001). Simpulan: Kualitas diet yang baik akan meningkatkan daya tahan (endurance), namun bersifat lemah dan secara statistik tidak berhubungan. Persen lemak tubuh yang optimal berkontribusi penting dalam menjaga daya tahan (endurance) atlet. Faktor perancu aktivitas fisik tidak mempengaruhi daya tahan (endurance).
