AbstractDispositional optimism is a psychological trait that has been associated with health issues such as cardiovascular disease. However, there is little knowledge on the relationship between optimism and dietary intake in the general population. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess whether optimism was associated with diet quality, food group consumption and snacking. In 2016, 32,806 adult participants from the NutriNet-Santé study completed the Life-Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R) which assesses dispositional optimism. Diet quality (N = 17,849) and food group consumption (N = 19,335) were evaluated using at least three self-reported 24-h dietary records, while snacking behavior was evaluated by an ad-hoc question (N = 28,948). Logistic and linear regressions were used to analyze the associations between optimism and diet quality, food group consumption, and snacking behavior taking into account socio-demographic, lifestyle and depressive symptomatology characteristics. Optimism was positively associated with diet quality (b (95% CI) = 0.07 (0.004–0.11), P < 0.0001), while no association with energy was observed. Optimism was positively associated with consumption of fruit and vegetables, seafood, whole-grain food, fats, dairy product and meat substitutes, legumes, appetizers, non-salted oleaginous fruits and alcoholic beverages, and negatively associated with consumption of meat and poultry, dairy products, milk-based desserts and sugars and confectionery. In addition, optimism was negatively associated with snacking (OR (95% CI) = 0.89 (0.84, 0.95). Optimism was associated with a better diet quality overall and less snacking. It was also associated with consumption of healthy food groups as well as unhealthy food groups typically consumed at social eating occasions. These findings suggest that optimism could be taken into account in the promotion of a healthy eating behavior.

ABSTRACTBackgroundImpulsivity is a psychological trait linked to health issues such as obesity. However, few studies have explored the relation between impulsivity, dietary intake, and eating disorders (EDs) in a general population.ObjectiveThe aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess whether impulsivity was associated with energy intake, food-group consumption, snacking, and risk of EDs.DesignIn 2014, 51,368 adult participants from the NutriNet-Santé Study completed the 11th version of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), which assesses impulsivity. Food-group consumption and diet quality were evaluated by using ≥3 self-reported 24-h dietary records (n = 35,830), whereas snacking behavior was evaluated by an ad hoc question (n = 48,562). Risk of EDs was assessed with the Sick-Control-One-Fat-Food Questionnaire (SCOFF), and categories of ED (restrictive, bulimic, hyperphagic, and other types of EDs) were determined with the Expali algorithm (n = 48,824). Logistic and linear regressions were used to analyze the associations between impulsivity and energy intake, food-group consumption, diet quality, snacking, and risk of EDs, taking into account sociodemographic and lifestyle factors.ResultsPositive associations were found between impulsivity and consumption of alcoholic beverages and appetizers, whereas negative associations were found for fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, processed meat, dairy products, milk-based desserts, and starchy foods. Impulsivity was positively associated with energy intake and negatively associated with diet quality. Impulsivity was also positively associated with snacking (OR: 3.32; 95% CI: 2.99, 3.68) and risk of EDs (OR: 3.02; 95% CI: 2.74, 3.33). The strongest associations were found for bulimic disorders (OR: 4.38; 95% CI: 3.66, 5.23) and hyperphagic disorders (OR: 2.91; 95% CI: 2.56, 3.31).ConclusionImpulsivity was associated with food intakes, snacking, and risk of EDs and could be taken into account in the promotion of healthy eating behavior. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03335644.

Carbohydrate-containing crops provide the bulk of dietary energy worldwide. In addition to their various carbohydrate forms (sugars, starches, fibers) and ratios, these foods may also contain varying amounts and combinations of proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, prebiotics, and anti-nutritional factors that may impact diet quality and health. Currently, there is no standardized or unified way to assess the quality of carbohydrate foods for the overall purpose of improving diet quality and health outcomes, creating an urgent need for the development of metrics and tools to better define and classify high-quality carbohydrate foods. The present report is based on a series of expert panel meetings and a scoping review of the literature focused on carbohydrate quality indicators and metrics produced over the last 10 years. The report outlines various approaches to assessing food quality, and proposes next steps and principles for developing improved metrics for assessing carbohydrate food quality. The expert panel concluded that a composite metric based on nutrient profiling methods featuring inputs such as carbohydrate–fiber–sugar ratios, micronutrients, and/or food group classification could provide useful and informative measures for guiding researchers, policymakers, industry, and consumers towards a better understanding of carbohydrate food quality and overall healthier diets. The identification of higher quality carbohydrate foods could improve evidence-based public health policies and programming—such as the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

This study aimed to investigate energy, nutrient and food group intakes at breakfast in Spain and to examine for the first time, their relationship to the overall Diet Quality (DQ). The data used were from the Spanish ANIBES (anthropometric data, macronutrients and micronutrients intake, practice of physical activity, socioeconomic data and lifestyles in Spain), a cross-sectional study using a nationally representative sample of the Spanish population (9–75 years old). DQ was assessed using the Nutrient Rich Foods Index, adapted to total diets (NRF9.3d). Most (>85%) of the Spanish population were regular breakfast consumers, although one in five adolescents were breakfast skippers. Breakfast provides just 16–19% of the daily intake of energy. Relative to its daily energy contribution, the Spanish breakfast contributed a higher proportion of daily total carbohydrates, added sugars, sodium, thiamin, riboflavin, folates, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and especially in calcium. By contrast, the breakfast is low in water intake, protein, dietary fibre, total fat, polyunsaturated fatty acids, beta-carotene and vitamins E and D. In children and teenagers, the most commonly consumed breakfast food was chocolate (mainly as chocolate-flavoured milk and powder), followed by bakery and pastry, whole milk and semi-skimmed milk. In the older groups, a bigger variety of foods were reported. Consumers in the highest NRF9.3d tertile for diet quality tended to have a higher intake of positive nutrients at breakfast than other tertiles, most notably among adults.

Abstract Objectives The goal of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) is to assist low-income households to improve diet quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of SNAP-Ed nutrition education lessons on diet quality and key nutrient and food group outcomes among Indiana SNAP-Ed-eligible adults. Methods The study design was a parallel-arm randomized controlled nutrition education intervention. The intervention consisted of the first 4 lessons of the Indiana adult SNAP-Ed curriculum delivered to participants during the 4 to 10 weeks after their baseline assessment. Participants (≥18 yrs) eligible for SNAP-Ed and interested in receiving nutrition education lessons (direct SNAP-Ed) were recruited from 31 Indiana counties (N = 261) and completed baseline assessments from August 2015 to May 2016. Follow-up assessments were conducted approximately 1-year after baseline from August 2016 to May 2017 (n = 103). Dietary intake was assessed using up to 2 24-hour dietary recalls at each assessment time point. The main outcome measures were mean usual nutrient (calcium; vitamins D, A, C, E; magnesium; folate; potassium; fiber; dairy; fruit; vegetable; whole grains) the proportion meeting Estimated Average Requirements, exceeding Adequate Intakes, or meeting daily recommended servings, and diet quality as measured by the Healthy Eating Index-2010. This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03436784. Significance was P ≤ 0.05. Analyses were completed using SAS 9.4. Results No effect of direct SNAP-Ed was found on diet quality, nutrient, or food group intake in the treatment compared to the control group between baseline and the 1-year follow-up assessment (P > 0.05). Conclusions Direct SNAP-Ed did not improve long-term diet quality, nutrient, or food group intake among Indiana SNAP-Ed eligible adults. Funding Sources Funding for this research was provided by Purdue University as part of AgSEED Crossroads funding to support Indiana's Agriculture and Rural Development, Purdue University Frederick N. Andrews Fellowship, Purdue University Center for Families Justice Family Nutrition Award, the Purdue University Nutrition Education Program, and a USDA NIFA Hatch Project.

The present paper is an aalysis of 138 5- or 7-d diet diaries collected from a free-living population of people aged 68–90 years in Norwich. Men had higher intakes than women of energy and most nutrients, but patterns of variation across the week were similar for both sexes. Intakes of meat, meat products, fish and vegetables varied across the week both in frequency and amount eaten, but the other main food groups showed no significant variation. Alcohol was taken more frequently at weekends but the amount did not vary significantly. Intakes of energy, protein and many micronutrients varied significantly with day of the week, with increased intake at weekends, especially of vegetable-derived micronutrients on Sundays, and generally decreased intake on Mondays and Fridays. Nutrient densities of carotene, retinol equivalents, folate, vitamin C, pantothenate and Zn Were all highest on Sundays, providing further evidence of variation of diet quality on different days of the week.
