Dietary Data

As part of the 16–17 year follow-up of the 1970 longitudinal birth cohort study, The International Centre for Child Studies collected dietary data from a National sample of 4760 teenagers. Dietary intake data were collected in 4 d unweighed dietary diaries, distributed by schools and returned by post. Dietary intake data were quantitatively coded, and the intakes of energy, macronutrients and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) are reported. Intakes of fat and extrinsic sugars, expressed as a percentage of energy intake, exceeded recent recommendations (Department of Health, 1991), and the intakes of intrinsic sugars, milk sugars and starch, and NSP were considerably lower than recommended. Only 25 % of males and 10 % of females achieved intakes of 18 g NSP/d. The main food groups contributing fat (%) to the diets of teenagers (for males and females respectively) were meat and meat products (24·2, 22·1). Spreading fats (18·6, 18·1) and cereals and cereal products (18, 17·8), whilst the major sources of sugars (%) were (for males and females respectively) sugar and confectionary (28·2, 26·4), cereals and cereal products (24·5, 23) and beverages (21·9, 21·5). Less than half the cohort drank alcohol during the recording period, and about 6% of females drank more than 2 units alcohol/d, and about 6% of males drank more than 3 units alcohol/d.

AbstractAccurate data on dietary intake are important for public health, nutrition and agricultural policy. The National Sample Survey is widely used by policymakers in India to estimate nutritional outcomes in the country, but has not been compared with other dietary data sources. To assess relative differences across available Indian dietary data sources, we compare intake of food groups across six national and sub-national surveys between 2004 and 2012, representing various dietary intake estimation methodologies, including Household Consumption Expenditure Surveys (HCES), FFQ, food balance sheets (FBS), and 24-h recall (24HR) surveys. We matched data for relevant years, regions and economic groups, for ages 16–59. One set of national HCES and the 24HR showed a decline in food intake in India between 2004–2005 and 2011–2012, whereas another HCES and FBS showed an increase. Differences in intake were smallest between the two HCES (1 % relative difference). Relative to these, FFQ and FBS had higher intake (13 and 35 %), and the 24HR lower intake (−9 %). Cereal consumption had high agreement across comparisons (average 5 % difference), whereas fruit and nuts, eggs, meat and fish and sugar had the least (120, 119, 56 and 50 % average differences, respectively). Spearman’s coefficients showed high correlation of ranked food group intake across surveys. The underlying methods of the compared data highlight possible sources of under- or over-estimation, and influence their relevance for addressing various research questions and programmatic needs.

AbstractObjectiveEarly childhood settings are promising avenues to intervene to improve children’s nutrition. Previous research has shown that a nutrition award scheme, Start Right – Eat Right (SRER), improves long day care centre policies, menus and eating environments. Whether this translates into improvements in children’s dietary intake is unknown. The present study aimed to determine whether SRER improves children’s food and nutrient intakes.DesignPre–post cohort study.SettingTwenty long day care centres in metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.SubjectsChildren aged 2–4 years (n 236 at baseline, n 232 at follow-up).MethodsDietary intake (morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea) was assessed pre- and post-SRER implementation using the plate wastage method. Centre nutrition policies, menus and environments were evaluated as measures of intervention fidelity. Comparisons between baseline and follow-up were made using t tests.ResultsAt follow-up, 80 % of centres were fully compliant with the SRER award criteria, indicating high scheme implementation and adoption. Intake increased for all core food groups (range: 0·2–0·4 servings/d, P<0·001) except for vegetable intake. Energy intake increased and improvements in intakes of eleven out of the nineteen nutrients evaluated were observed.ConclusionsSRER is effective in improving children’s food and nutrient intakes at a critical time point when dietary habits and preferences are established and can inform future public health nutrition interventions in this setting.

Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a costly source of morbidity and mortality among older persons in the United States. Dietary intake plays a role in the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; however, few studies have examined the relation of food intake or diet patterns with PAD. Objectives: We examined the relationship between habitual dietary intake at midlife and incident PAD over approximately 20 years of follow-up. Methods: Among 14,082 participants enrolled in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study initially free of PAD, dietary intake was assessed at baseline in 1987-1989 using a Harvard food frequency questionnaire. Food groups were created and principal components analysis was used to develop “healthy” and “Western” dietary patterns; both were categorized into quintiles or quartiles. Incident PAD was defined by an ankle-brachial index (ABI) measure of < 0.90 at either of two subsequent exams (1993-1995, 1996-1998), or a hospital discharge diagnosis of PAD, leg amputation, or leg revascularization procedures through 2012. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for relevant confounders assessed the relations of each food group or diet pattern with incident PAD. Results: During a mean follow up of 19.9 years, 1569 participants developed incident PAD. A total of 64.7% of cases had their incident event defined via ICD-9 codes, while 35.3% had incident PAD defined by ABI. In models adjusted for demographics, behaviors, and food groups, the hazard ratios for incident PAD increased across quintiles of meat consumption (Q2 vs. Q1 1.38 [95% CI 1.16, 1.64], Q3 vs. Q1 1.40 [1.18, 1.67], Q4 vs. Q1 1.47 [1.23, 1.77], Q5 vs. Q1 1.66 [1.36, 2.03], p for trend <0.001). Compared to those who drank no alcohol, those who had 1-6 drinks per week had a lower risk of incident PAD (HR=0.78 [95% CI 0.68, 0.89]). For coffee, there was a modest inverse association with incident PAD (Q5 vs. Q1 0.84 [0.75, 1.00], p for trend = 0.014). There was no association between other food groups or patterns and incident PAD. Conclusions: In this prospective population-based cohort study, greater meat consumption was associated with higher risk of incident PAD, while both moderate alcohol consumption and coffee consumption were associated with lower risk of incident PAD. Whether these associations are causal remains to be seen.

The intake of extractable antioxidants in theCzech Republicwas studied using the FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant potential) method applied to water-methanol extracts. The daily intake of these antioxidants was 16.6 mmol generated Fe(II) for men and 15.0 mmol for women (i.e. 8300 and 7500 &mu;mol Trolox equivalents). The largest sources of antioxidants were coffee (43.1% of overall intake for men and 54.6% for women) and beer (15% for men vs. 1.8% for women). Other significant sources of antioxidants were tea, vegetables and vegetable products (including potatoes and potato products), fruit and fruit products, cereal products, wine, sugars and sweets, spices and meat and meat products. Small amounts of antioxidants (less than 1.0% of overall intake) were supplied by nuts and seeds, milk and milk products and fats, while pulses, eggs and egg products, convenience foods and cheese were insignificant sources of antioxidants. Within the fruit and fruit products category, apples were the most significant source of extractable antioxidants, and in the vegetable and vegetable products category, peppers were the largest source of antioxidants. &nbsp;

Abstract Objectives Lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) is ideally accompanied by dietary guidance for cardiovascular risk reduction, however current evidence suggests sub optimal dietary behaviours in those on pharmacological interventions. This study examines associations between daily intake of major food groups (vegetable, fruit, cereal, protein and dairy) and LLT use in Australian adults. Methods Data were analysed from 5895 participants of the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study (AusDiab) aged ≥ 25 years. Medical history and dietary intake was obtained at baseline (1999–00) and follow up (2004–05). LLT use was categorised as: LLT users, commenced LLT, ceased LLT, and non-users. The association between dietary intake and LLT use was examined using quantile regression, at the 25th, 50th and 75th quantile of dietary intake. Analysis was adjusted for known risk factors. Results A total of 446 participants remained on LLT from baseline to follow up; 565 participants commenced LLT; 71 participants ceased LLT and 4813 were non-users. Less than 1% of the cohort met recommended intakes of all food groups at baseline and follow up, with no difference by LLT status. Median daily dietary intake at follow up among LLT users was 2.2 serves of vegetables, 1.4 serves of fruit, 2.8 serves of cereal, 2.0 serves of protein and 1.4 serves of dairy. Dietary intake was similar across all LLT groups. LLT use was not significantly associated with dietary intake at the 25th, 50th and 75th quantile. Conclusions Adjusted quantile regression analysis showed no differences in median daily intake of key food groups in LLT users, compared to non-users. The dietary behaviours observed suggest that all adults, regardless of their medication regimen, need additional education on improving their dietary intake. These findings emphasise the importance of addressing adherence to dietary guidelines, for people with chronic disease, with special focus on people requiring LLT.

Patients with ESRD treated with dialysis have a high mortality rate. Controversy exists as to whether this high mortality rate is affected by modality choice. The purpose of this epidemiologic study was to compare mortality in prevalent hemodialysis-treated (HD) and peritoneal dialysis-treated (PD) patients in a large national sample, adjusting for demographic characteristics. Data were obtained from the U.S. Renal Data System for patients prevalent on January 1 of the years 1987, 1988, and 1989, each with 1 yr of follow-up. Patients were censored at transplantation. Death rates per 100 patient years were compared between HD and PD, adjusting for age, race, gender, cause of ESRD (diabetes versus nondiabetes) and < 1 yr or > 1 yr of prior ESRD, by the use of Poisson regression. There were 42,372 deaths occurring over 170,700 patient years at risk. On average, prevalent patients treated with PD had a 19% higher adjusted mortality risk (relative risk (RR) = 1.19; P < 0.001) than did those treated with HD. This risk was found to be insignificant (P > 0.05) and small for ages < 55 and increasingly large and significant for ages > 55 yr. It was accentuated in diabetics (RR = 1.38; P < 0.001) but was also present in nondiabetics (RR = 1.11; P < 0.001). Although present in both males and females, this risk was accentuated in females (RR = 1.30 versus 1.11; both P < 0.001). In this national study of prevalent U.S. dialysis patients, treatment assignment to PD was associated with a 19% higher all-cause mortality rate than HD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Few studies have investigated the relative validity of FFQ in young children and no study has investigated the relative validity of changes in children's food intake in a longitudinal context. The aim of the present study was to compare the FFQ of the longitudinal Family Influences on Food Intake study, assessing children's food intake in the previous 3 months, with a 3 d online food record when children were 3 and 7 years old, as well as to investigate the relative validity of changes in food group intake over a 4-year period. Parents (n 89) completed the FFQ and an online food record over three non-consecutive days on two separate occasions (January–April 2008 and 2012). Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and Spearman's correlations were used to compare food group intake and changes in intake assessed using both methods. In 2008, the intake of eleven of the twenty-two food groups was overestimated and that of four food groups underestimated in the FFQ in comparison with the online tool; in 2012, the intake of four food groups was overestimated and that of seven food groups underestimated. Nevertheless, changes in intake did not differ significantly between the two methods for eighteen food groups. Correlations in 2008 and 2012 were, on average, 0·47; correlations between the changes in dietary intake were, on average, 0·26. The results suggest that despite the significant differences between the two methods for a number of food groups at both baseline and/or follow-up, the FFQ can be used to monitor changes in dietary intake for groups of young children.

AbstractFood and nutrient intake data are scarce in very old adults (85 years and older) – one of the fastest growing age segments of Western societies, including the UK. Our primary objective was to assess energy and macronutrient intakes and respective food sources in 793 85-year-olds (302 men and 491 women) living in North-East England and participating in the Newcastle 85+ cohort Study. Dietary information was collected using a repeated multiple-pass recall (2×24 h recalls). Energy, macronutrient and NSP intakes were estimated, and the contribution (%) of food groups to nutrient intake was calculated. The median energy intake was 6·65 (interquartile ranges (IQR) 5·49–8·16) MJ/d – 46·8 % was from carbohydrates, 36·8 % from fats and 15·7 % from proteins. NSP intake was 10·2 g/d (IQR 7·3–13·7). NSP intake was higher in non-institutionalised, more educated, from higher social class and more physically active 85-year-olds. Cereals and cereal products were the top contributors to intakes of energy and most macronutrients (carbohydrates, non-milk extrinsic sugars, NSP and fat), followed by meat and meat products. The median intakes of energy and NSP were much lower than the estimated average requirement for energy (9·6 MJ/d for men and 7·7 MJ/d for women) and the dietary reference value (DRV) for NSP (≥18 g/d). The median SFA intake was higher than the DRV (≤11 % of dietary energy). This study highlights the paucity of data on dietary intake and the uncertainties about DRV for this age group.

Worldwide dietary data for nutrition monitoring and surveillance are commonly derived from food balance sheets (FBS) and household budget surveys (HBS). We have compared food supply from FBS and food availability data from HBS among eighteen European countries and have estimated the extent to which they correlate, focusing on food groups which are comparably captured by FBS and HBS and for which there is epidemiological evidence that they can have a noticeable impact on population mortality. Spearman's correlation coefficient was +0·78 (P < 10− 3) for vegetables (including legumes),+0·76 (P < 10− 3) for fruits, +0·69 (P < 10− 3) for fish and seafood and +0·93 (P < 10− 3) for olive oil. With respect to meat and meat products, the coefficient was lower at +0·39 (P = 0·08). Moreover, we have examined whether the supply (FBS) or the availability (HBS) of food groups known or presumed to have beneficial effect on the occurrence of CHD and total cancer can predict overall, coronary and cancer mortality in ecological analyses. After controlling for purchasing power parity-adjusted gross domestic product and tobacco smoking we found that for vegetables, fruits, fish and seafood, as well as for olive oil, both the FBS and the HBS estimates were inversely associated with all three indicators of mortality, although the number of countries with complete information on all study variables hindered formal statistical documentation (P>0·05 in some instances). FBS and HBS have their own strengths and weaknesses, but they may complement each other in dietary assessments at the population level.

Background: Frailty is a dynamic process, with frequent transitions between frailty, prefrailty, and robust statuses over time. The effect of dietary intake on frailty transitions is unknown. Objective: To examine the association between dietary intake and frailty transitions. Design: Survey-based retrospective analysis of the National Institute for Longevity Sciences-Longitudinal Study of Aging data. Setting: Areas neighboring the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Participants: We included 469 prefrail community dwellers aged 60–87 years who participated both in the baseline (2008–2010) and 2-year follow-up (2010–2012) surveys of the National Institute for Longevity Sciences-Longitudinal Study of Aging. Measurements: Transitions of frailty were categorized by changes in status from baseline to follow-up: “deterioration (prefrail to frail),” “persistence (persistent prefrail),” and “reversal (prefrail to robust).” Estimated dietary (nutrients and food) intakes assessed by 3-day dietary records in each frailty transition were analyzed with a multivariate-adjusted general linear model after adjusting for sex, age, education, family income, smoking, and chronic disease. Results: At the 2-year follow-up, 28%, 7%, and 65% of participants had robust, frail, and pre-frail status, respectively. Among 13 food groups, only milk and dairy product intake was positively associated with frailty reversal even after adjusting for all frailty criteria at baseline. Despite insignificant differences in the estimated mean intakes, the baseline intake of saturated fatty acids, potassium, and vitamin B1 tended to be the highest in the reversal group. The estimated mean (standard error) for milk and dairy product intake (g/day) was 79.1 (28.6), 129.3 (19.9), and 161.7 (21.7) for the deterioration, persistence, and reversal groups, respectively (P=0.0036, P-trend=0.0019). Conclusions: Daily consumption of dairy products may contribute to frailty reversal and frailty prevention among older community dwellers who consume small amounts of dairy products. Other food groups showed no association with frailty status transitions.
