Poor dietary habits have been shown to be associated with a range of chronic diseases and can potentially be a major contributor to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) mortality. We therefore aimed to identify the prevailing dietary patterns among Chinese adults and to evaluate trends in dietary patterns from 1991 to 2015. We used data collected in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis of data from three consecutive 24 h dietary recalls. We studied 29,238 adults aged 18 and above with complete demo-graphic and dietary data. Three distinct dietary patterns were identified: southern (high intakes of rice, vegetables, and pork), modern (high intakes of fruits, dairy products, cakes, cookies, and pastries), and meat (high intakes of organ meats, poultry, and other livestock meat). The southern pattern score decreased (mean ± SD scores in 1991: 0.11 ± 1.13; scores in 2015: −0.22 ± 0.93). The modern pattern score (mean ± SD scores in 1991: −0.44 ± 0.59; scores in 2015: 0.21 ± 1.01) and meat pattern score (mean ± SD scores in 1991: −0.18 ± 0.98; scores in 2015: 0.27 ± 0.91) increased. We observed that China has experienced a shift from traditional dietary patterns to western dietary patterns.

Dismenore merupakan nyeri selama menstruasi yang disebabkan oleh adanya kejang pada otot rahim. Terdapat beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi terjadinya dismenore, diantaranya yaitu asupan nutrisi yang terdiri dari Fe (zat Besi). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan kejadian dismenorea dengan asupan Fe (zat Besi) pada remaja putri .  Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik observasional dengan rancangan cross sectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 112 yang diambil menggunakan teknik propostionate stratified random sampling. Data kejadian dismenore diperoleh dari kuesioner numeric rating scale dan data asupan zat gizi diperoleh dari form semi quantitative food frequency questionaire. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian remaja putri memiliki asupan Fe (zat Besi) kurang (50%). Sedangkan kejadian dismenorea yang dialami hampir setengahnya termasuk dalam kategori nyeri ringan (45,5%). Hasil analisis menggunakan uji rank sprearman menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan kejadian dismenorea dengan asupan Fe (zat Besi) dengan nilai p-value = 0,014. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi asupan Fe (zat Besi), maka semakin rendah kejadian dismenorea yang dirasakan. Diharapkan remaja putri dapat mencegah dan mengurangi nyeri dengan mengkonsumsi makanan sumber Fe (zat Besi).

Abstract This study evaluated the influence of six contingent variables – firm size, age, sector, existence of management accounting department, affiliation to foreign entity and public-quotation status – on the effectiveness of management accounting function in Nigerian firms. Stratified random sampling technique was deployed to obtain the views of 131 Finance Officers with oversight role across major sectors of the Nigerian economy. Statistical tools used in analysis were descriptive statistics, factor-analysis, Kruskal Wallis Test and binary logistic regression. Whilst detecting that contextual variables such as size, age, sector, existence of management accounting department and public-quotation status significantly affect the effectiveness of the management accounting function, affiliation to foreign entity was found not to exert significant influence. The strongest predictor of the likelihood of operating a very effective management accounting function was the existence of management accounting department. Organisations are encouraged to have separate management accounting department because of additional benefits imbued by specialist management accounting skills.

Background: Dietary and lifestyle habits constitute a significant contributing factor in the formation of anthropometric and biochemical characteristics of overweight and obese populations. The iMPROVE study recruited overweight and obese Greek adults and investigated the effect of gene–diet interactions on weight management when adhering to a six-month, randomized nutritional trial including two hypocaloric diets of different macronutrient content. The present paper displays the design of the intervention and the baseline findings of the participants’ dietary habits and their baseline anthropometric and biochemical characteristics. Methods: Baseline available data for 202 participants were analyzed and patterns were extracted via principal component analysis (PCA) on 69-item Food-Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ). Relationships with indices at baseline were investigated by multivariate linear regressions. A Lifestyle Index of five variables was further constructed. Results: PCA provided 5 dietary patterns. The “Mixed” pattern displayed positive associations with logBMI and logVisceral fat, whereas the “Traditional, vegetarian-alike” pattern was nominally, negatively associated with body and visceral fat, but positively associated with HDL levels. The Lifestyle Index displayed protective effects in the formation of logBMI and logGlucose levels. Conclusions: Dietary patterns and a Lifestyle Index in overweight and obese, Greek adults highlighted associations between diet, lifestyle, and anthropometric and biochemical indices.
