Background: #Sciatica is a common neuropathic pain condition associated with substantial functional disability. Emerging evidence suggests that #diet -induced inflammation may play a role in chronic pain development. However, the association between dietary inflammatory potential and clinical outcomes in sciatica remains unclear.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 598 patients diagnosed with sciatica from two… Continue reading Pro-inflammatory dietary patterns are associated with increased pain and functional disability in sciatica: a hospital-based cross-sectional study

Female Underweight/Undernutrition Syndrome (FUS): An Emerging Health Concept in Premenopausal Women – Secondary Publication (English Translation of the Japanese Statement)
In Japan, approximately 20% of women in their twenties are #underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), representing one of the highest prevalences among developed nations. Underweight and undernutrition are associated with decreased bone mass, menstrual abnormalities, impaired glucose tolerance, sarcopenia-like changes, and systemic symptoms including depression and fatigue, significantly impacting health from young adulthood through the… Continue reading Female Underweight/Undernutrition Syndrome (FUS): An Emerging Health Concept in Premenopausal Women – Secondary Publication (English Translation of the Japanese Statement)
Relative associations of #coffee, #tea, and plain #water with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: a prospective cohort study
Previous studies have highlighted the health benefits of coffee and tea, but they only focused on the comparisons between different consumptions. Consequently, the association estimate lacked a clear interpretation, as the substitution of beverages and distribution of doses were not explicitly prescribed. We focused on the “relative association” to ascertain the optimal consumption strategy (including… Continue reading Relative associations of #coffee, #tea, and plain #water with all-cause and cause-specific #mortality: a prospective cohort study
Association Between Pro-Inflammatory Potential of #Diet and Inflammatory Parameters in a Group of Patients with Inflammatory #Bowel Disease
Background: The etiopathogenesis of IBD is not fully known; however, both genetic and environmental risk factors, including diet, are contributors to the disease. The present study aimed to determine the effect of dietary inflammatory potential, assessed using the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), on disease activity and inflammatory markers, such as IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-10, in… Continue reading Association Between Pro-Inflammatory Potential of #Diet and Inflammatory Parameters in a Group of Patients with Inflammatory #Bowel Disease
#Ultraprocessed or minimally processed diets following healthy dietary guidelines on #weight and cardiometabolic health: a randomized, crossover trial
Ultraprocessed food (UPF) consumption is associated with noncommunicable disease risk, yet no trial has assessed its health impact within the context of national dietary guidelines. In a 2 × 2 crossover randomized controlled feeding trial, 55 adults in England (body mass index ≥25 to <40 kg m−2, habitual UPF intake ≥50% kcal day−1) were provided with two 8-week ad libitum… Continue reading #Ultraprocessed or minimally processed diets following healthy dietary guidelines on #weight and cardiometabolic health: a randomized, crossover trial
#Dietary patterns and accelerated multimorbidity in #older adults
Diet could influence disease development and shape multimorbidity trajectories. Here we examined how four dietary patterns relate to 15-year multimorbidity accumulation in 2,473 community-dwelling older adults from the Swedish SNAC-K cohort. Multimorbidity was operationalized as the total number of chronic conditions and grouped into three organ systems. Higher adherence to the Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for… Continue reading #Dietary patterns and accelerated multimorbidity in #older adults
Association between dietary #copper intake and #cognitive function in American older adults: NHANES 2011–2014
This cross-sectional observational study examined the association between dietary copper intake and cognitive function in American older adults, using data from the 2011 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Analyzing a total of 2420 participants, dietary copper intake was determined by averaging two 24-h dietary recalls, whereas cognitive function was assessed by… Continue reading Association between dietary #copper intake and #cognitive function in American older adults: NHANES 2011–2014
Health effects associated with consumption of #processed #meat, #sugar -sweetened beverages and trans #fatty acids: a Burden of Proof study
Previous research suggests detrimental health effects associated with consuming processed foods, including processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and trans fatty acids (TFAs). However, systematic characterization of the dose–response relationships between these foods and health outcomes is limited. Here, using Burden of Proof meta-regression methods, we evaluated the associations between processed meat, SSBs and TFAs and… Continue reading Health effects associated with consumption of #processed #meat, #sugar -sweetened beverages and trans #fatty acids: a Burden of Proof study
Association of #plant -based diets with subclinical #cardiovascular disease in U.S. adults, 1999-2004
BackgroundDietary patterns currently recommended for cardiovascular health often emphasize the consumption of plant foods.MethodsWe included 7,708 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004 aged ≥20 years who were not pregnant and did not have a self-reported history of cardiovascular disease. Dietary intake was assessed using a 24-hour dietary recall. All plant-based dietary… Continue reading Association of #plant -based diets with subclinical #cardiovascular disease in U.S. adults, 1999-2004
