Dietary Intake in Population with Metabolic Syndrome: Is the Prevalence of Inadequate Intake Influenced by Geographical Area? Cross-Sectional Analysis from PREDIMED-Plus Study.

ABSTRACT: Inadequate diet influences chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in Spain. CVD figures vary from one geographical region to another; this could be associated with different food choices. Our aim was to analyse the influence of geographical area on nutrient intakes among the Spanish adult population with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). We analysed cross-sectional baseline data from the PREDIMED-Plus study: 6646 Spanish adults, aged 55⁻75 years, with overweight/obesity and MetS in four geographical areas. A validated 143-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess energy and nutrient intakes. The prevalence of inadequate nutrient intake was estimated according to Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between geographical area (North, Central, East and South areas) and inadequate nutrient intake. People in the North area consumed significantly lower amounts of vegetables and fish but more sugar and alcohol (p < 0.001) than other areas. Dietary fibre, vitamin A, E, calcium and magnesium intakes were all lower among men of North area than in the other areas (p < 0.001). Sex (women), non-smoker and physical activity were also associated to adequate nutrient intake. Geographical area influences nutrient intakes. Its effect on dietary quality should be taken into account when planning food policies.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who suffer from impaired physical function and fatigue, may have difficulties with grocery shopping and preparing meals. Also, to improve symptoms, patients often experiment with diets but seldom consult a dietitian. Although this could lead to a nutritiously deprived diet, an up-to-date, thorough description of the nutrient intake in Swedish patients with RA is absent. Here, we investigated the habitual dietary energy and nutrient intake in patients with RA living in southwestern Sweden.Materials and methodsThree-day food records performed at two time points during the ADIRA (Anti-inflammatory Diet In Rheumatoid Arthritis) trial, were used. The intake of energy and nutrients was analyzed using The Swedish Food Composition Database.ResultsA total of 62 participants (50 females, 12 males) were included in the study, where 18 participants completed one 3-day food record and 44 participants completed two 3-day food records. Median (IQR) intake of total fat was above or in the upper range of recommendations (females: 37.1 [32.5, 41.7] energy percent (E%), and males: 40.3 [37.5, 42.9] E%). Median (IQR) intake of saturated fatty acids exceeded recommendations (females: 14.9 [12.5, 17.0] E% and males: 15.4 [12.2, 17.0] E%), while median (IQR) carbohydrate and fiber intakes were below recommendations (females: 41.7 [36.3, 45.4] E% and 17.2 [12.8, 20.9] g, respectively, and males: 38.8 [35.2, 40,3] E% and 18.5 [15.7, 21.0] g, respectively). The reported intake of other macronutrients was in line with recommendations. For several micronutrients, e.g., vitamin A and D, folate, and calcium, median intake was below recommended intake. Vitamin A intake was especially low and did not reach lower intake level (LI) for 14 and 17% of females and males, respectively. For females, about 10% did not reach LI for vitamin D, calcium, and riboflavin.ConclusionWe found that patients with RA residing in southwestern Sweden reported a high intake of saturated fatty acids and low intake of fiber and several micronutrients.Clinical trial registration[https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02941055?term=NCT02941055&draw=2&rank=1], identifier [NCT02941055].

Project description:Dietary guidelines emphasize the importance of a varied diet to provide an adequate nutrient intake. However, an older age is often associated with consumption of monotonous diets that can be nutritionally inadequate, increasing the risk for the development or progression of diet-related chronic diseases, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). To assess the association between dietary diversity (DD) and nutrient intake adequacy and to identify demographic variables associated with DD, we cross-sectionally analyzed baseline data from the PREDIMED-Plus trial: 6587 Spanish adults aged 55-75 years, with overweight/obesity who also had MetS. An energy-adjusted dietary diversity score (DDS) was calculated using a 143-item validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Nutrient inadequacy was defined as an intake below 2/3 of the dietary reference intake (DRI) forat least four of 17 nutrients proposed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between DDS and the risk of nutritionally inadequate intakes. In the higher DDS quartile there were more women and less current smokers. Compared with subjects in the highest DDS quartile, those in the lowest DDS quartile had a higher risk of inadequate nutrient intake: odds ratio (OR) = 28.56 (95% confidence interval (CI) 20.80-39.21). When we estimated food varietyfor each of the food groups, participants in the lowest quartile had a higher risk of inadequate nutrient intake for the groups of vegetables, OR = 14.03 (95% CI 10.55-18.65), fruits OR = 11.62 (95% CI 6.81-19.81), dairy products OR = 6.54 (95% CI 4.64-9.22) and protein foods OR = 6.60 (95% CI 1.96-22.24). As DDS decreased, the risk of inadequate nutrients intake rose. Given the impact of nutrient intake adequacy on the prevention of non-communicable diseases, health policies should focus on the promotion of a healthy varied diet, specifically promoting the intake of vegetables and fruit among population groups with lower DDS such as men, smokers or widow(er)s.

Project description:BackgroundUS iodine intake, estimated from the median urinary iodine concentration of population representative data, has declined by half since the 1970s, which is problematic because maternal iodine intake is critical for fetal neurodevelopment. Relying on median urinary concentrations to assess iodine intake of populations is standard practice but does not describe the number of individuals with insufficient intake. Prevalence estimates of inadequate and excessive intake are better for informing public health applications but require multiple urine samples per person; such estimates have been generated in pediatric populations but not yet among pregnant women.ObjectiveOur aims were as follows: (1) to assess median urinary iodine concentrations across pregnancy for comparison with national data and (2) to estimate the prevalence of inadequate and excessive iodine intake among pregnant women in mid-Michigan.Study designData were collected from 2008 to 2015 as part of a prospective pregnancy cohort in which women were enrolled at their first prenatal clinic visit. Few exclusion criteria (<18 years or non-English speaking) resulted in a sample of women generally representative of the local community, unselected for any specific health conditions. Urine specimens were obtained as close as practicable to at least 1 specimen per trimester during routine prenatal care throughout pregnancy (n=1-6 specimens per woman) and stored at -80°C until urinary iodine was measured to estimate the iodine intake (n=1014 specimens from 464 women). We assessed urinary iodine across pregnancy by each gestational week of pregnancy and by trimester. We used multiple urine specimens per woman, accounted for within-person variability, performed data transformation to approximate normality, and estimated the prevalence of inadequate and excessive iodine intake using a method commonly employed for assessment of nutrient status.ResultsMaternal characteristics reflected the local population in racial and ethnic diversity and socioeconomic status as follows: 53% non-Hispanic white, 22% non-Hispanic black, and 16% Hispanic; 48% had less than or equal to high school education and 71% had an annual income of <$25,000. Median urinary iodine concentrations in the first, second, and third trimester-including some women contributing more than 1 specimen per trimester-were 171 μg/L (n=305 specimens), 181 μg/L (n=366 specimens), and 179 μg/L (n=343 specimens), respectively, with no significant difference by trimester (P=.50, Kruskal-Wallis test for equality of medians). The estimated prevalence of inadequate and excessive iodine intake was 23% and <1%, respectively.ConclusionMedian urinary iodine concentrations in each trimester were above the World Health Organization cutoff of 150 μg/L, indicating iodine sufficiency at the group level across pregnancy. However, the estimated prevalence of inadequate iodine intake was substantial at 23%, whereas prevalence of excessive intake was <1%, indicating a need for at least some women to increase consumption of iodine during pregnancy. The American Thyroid Association, the Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that all pregnant and lactating women receive a daily multivitamin or mineral supplement that contains 150 μg of iodine. The data presented here should encourage the collection of similar data from additional US population samples for the purpose of informing the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' own potential recommendations for prenatal iodine supplementation.

Project description:Rising food insecurity (FI) and the increased prices of animal-based foods could compromise vitamin B12 (B12) intake and serum levels in food-insecure people. Our study aims to determine the prevalence of low levels of serum B12 and its inadequate dietary intake among a nationally representative sample of Lebanese adults aged 18 to 64 years, while exploring the impact of FI and identifying other potential predictors. The B12 intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire and the mean of two non-consecutive 24 h recalls. The B12 serum levels were also examined. To examine the time trends in the B12 serum levels and dietary intake, the data from a large representative digitized database of 6290 participants were collected, along with the examination of FAOSTAT food consumption data both before and during the economic crisis period. Our findings revealed that 47.3% of households in Lebanon experienced FI. The inadequate intake of B12 food sources was prevalent in 52.5% of participants, and 61.1% presented with low (23%) or intermediate (38.1%) levels of serum B12. The food-secure households had a higher proportion of B12 intake from meats (p = 0.004), while traditional foods contributed more to food-insecure households (p = 0.000). The participants who were female, unemployed, food-insecure, and had low dietary diversity were about two to three times more likely to have inadequate B12 intake. The predictors of low levels of serum B12 included residing in Beqaa (OR = 2.856 and 95% CI = 1.018-8.01) and having inadequate B12 intake (OR = 1.788 and 95% CI = 1.2-2.65). The findings from observing the time trends in the consumption and the serum levels of B12 indicate a considerable decline in the consumption of most animal-based foods compared to the pre-crisis period, associated with a decline in the serum levels of B12. In conclusion, an alarming prevalence of low dietary intake and low serum levels of B12 was revealed among Lebanese adults, and the indirect effect of FI on B12 serum levels mediated through B12 intake was inferred.
