Association between consumption of small #fish and all-cause #mortality among Japanese: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study

Although small fish are an important source of micronutrients, the relationship between their intake and mortality remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the association between intake of small fish and all-cause and cause-specific mortality.Design:We used the data from a cohort study in Japan. The frequency of the intake of small fish was assessed using… Continue reading Association between consumption of small #fish and all-cause #mortality among Japanese: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study

Adherence to #Mediterranean diet is inversely associated with #depressive symptoms in older women: findings from the NutBrain Study

Data on the association of the Mediterranean diet with depressive symptoms in older people at high risk of depression are scarce. This study aimed to investigate the cross-sectional association of the adherence to the Mediterranean diet and its components with depressive symptoms in the Italian NutBrain cohort of older men and women. A total of… Continue reading Adherence to #Mediterranean diet is inversely associated with #depressive symptoms in older women: findings from the NutBrain Study

Long-term #dietary patterns are associated with pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory features of the gut #microbiome

The microbiome directly affects the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses in the gut. As microbes thrive on dietary substrates, the question arises whether we can nourish an anti-inflammatory gut ecosystem. We aim to unravel interactions between diet, gut microbiota and their functional ability to induce intestinal inflammation. Design We investigated the relation between 173… Continue reading Long-term #dietary patterns are associated with pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory features of the gut #microbiome

Associations of Processed #Meat, Unprocessed Red Meat, Poultry, or #Fish Intake With Incident #Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality

Although the associations between processed meat intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality have been established, the associations of unprocessed red meat, poultry, or fish consumption with CVD and all-cause mortality are still uncertain.. .. Intake of processed meat (adjusted HR, 1.03 [95% CI, 1.02-1.05]; adjusted ARD, 0.90% [95% CI, 0.43%-1.38%]) or unprocessed red… Continue reading Associations of Processed #Meat, Unprocessed Red Meat, Poultry, or #Fish Intake With Incident #Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality

A brief #diet intervention can reduce symptoms of #depression in young adults – A randomised controlled trial

There is strong epidemiological evidence that poor diet is associated with depression. The reverse has also been shown, namely that eating a healthy diet rich in fruit, vegetables, fish and lean meat, is associated with reduced risk of depression. Young adults with elevated levels of depression symptoms and who habitually consume a poor diet were… Continue reading A brief #diet intervention can reduce symptoms of #depression in young adults – A randomised controlled trial

Risks of ischaemic heart disease and stroke in meat eaters, fish eaters, and vegetarians over 18 years of follow-up: results from the prospective EPIC-Oxford study

This difference was equivalent to 10 fewer cases of ischaemic heart disease (95% confidence interval 6.7 to 13.1 fewer) in vegetarians than in meat eaters per 1000 population over 10 years. The associations for ischaemic heart disease were partly attenuated after adjustment for self reported high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and body mass… Continue reading Risks of ischaemic heart disease and stroke in meat eaters, fish eaters, and vegetarians over 18 years of follow-up: results from the prospective EPIC-Oxford study
