The differences of dietary iron and zinc intakes between patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and controls remain controversial. The meta-analysis aimed to explore the differences of dietary iron and zinc intakes between NAFLD patients and healthy subjects.

A systematic literature search was performed up to July 2021 in databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang. Using a randomeffects model, the differences of dietary iron and zinc intakes between cases and controls were calculated as standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 21 studies from 19 articles with 6639 cases were included.

The pooled estimate showed no difference in dietary iron consumption in the NAFLD groups compared with control groups. The difference became significant in Asia (SMD=0.16; 95% CI 0.04, 0.28; I2=89.1%; pheterogeneity<0.001) as well as in cross-sectional studies (SMD=0.12; 95% CI 0.07, 0.17; I2=4.7%; pheterogeneity=0.350). The difference in dietary zinc intake between cases and controls was not significant. We noticed a statistically significant increase of dietary zinc intake in NAFLD compared to controls in studies using food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to evaluate dietary intake (SMD=0.15; 95% CI 0.10, 0.20; I2=12.2%; pheterogeneity=0.332).

Our findings indicated that dietary iron intake in patients with NAFLD was higher than healthy subjects in Asia.

The study objective was to assess if Dietary diversity score (DDS) based on counting 10 food groups consumed can be used as an indicator of adequacy of micronutrient intake in Filipino children and adolescents.

Dietary data of 7448 Filipinos age 3 to 18 years old included in the National Nutrition Survey in 2013 were used to assess the adequacy of intake of iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. Nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) for each micronutrient was computed and these were used to calculate the mean adequacy ratio (MAR) for each individual. Linear association for MAR and the different scores of DDS was verified using Pearson's correlation. Sensitivity and specificity were analyzed through the receiver operating characteristics curve to determine the DDS cut-off point that can be used to ascertain adequacy of micronutrient intake.

The mean DDS is 6 and the mean MAR is 0.69. There was significant positive correlation between MARs and NARs (p<0.0001), as well as between MAR and DDS (r=0.29; p<0.0001). A DDS of 6 showed the highest sensitivity (74.2%) and specificity (44.6%) for achieving MAR of 0.5, while a DDS of 7 had the highest sensitivity (54.9%) and specificity (67.6%) in achieving MAR of 0.75.

DDS is significantly correlated with micronutrient intake and a score of 6 or 7 can be used as a cutoff in screening for those with possible dietary micronutrient inadequacy in Filipino children and adolescents.

To investigate the vitamin A, D, E concentrations and status, and analyse the associated risk factors for vitamin A, D, E deficiency in children in Shaanxi Province, Northwest China.

The study included a total of 25,806 children admitted to hospitals in Shaanxi province from January 2019 to December 2019. Fasting venous blood samples were collected to measure serum vitamin A, D, E concentrations. A logistic regression model was performed to estimate the association between risk factors and vitamin A, D, E deficiency and insufficiency.

The mean serum vitamin A, D, E concentrations were 0.87±0.33 mol/L, 63.7±29.7 nmol/L and 20.8±6.98 mol/L, respectively. The prevalence of vitamin A, D, E deficiency was high in neonates (15.1%, 81.5% and 44.9%, respectively). selleck chemicals Children living in rural areas were at higher risk for vitamin A, D, E deficiency and insufficiency. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the risk of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in children was 7.68 times (95% CI 6.97-8.47) higher in winter than in summer. With adjustment for gender, season, and living regions, age correlated positively with serum vitamin A concentration (r=0.110, p<0.001), and negatively with vitamin D and E concentrations (r=-0.370 and r=-0.250 both p<0.001).

This study showed that the prevalence of vitamin A, D and E deficiency was extremely high in neonates in Shaanxi province, northwest China. Children living in rural areas and winter had a high risk of vitamin A, D, E deficiency and insufficiency.

Child undernutrition remains an area of public health concern across the globe, particularly in developing countries like India. Previous studies have focused on the association of maternal nutrition with premature pregnancy and birthweight of child, with few establishing the intergenerational effect but limited to select populations and geography.

This study used data from 35,452 children aged under 5 years and their biological mother from nationally representative Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS) in India. The outcome variables were anthropometric indices height-for-age, weightfor- height, and weight-for-age. The exposure variables were maternal height and body mass index (BMI). Multivariate regression analysis was used to examine the association between maternal height and BMI with child undernutrition.

Out of total number of mothers, 11.1% were short in stature and 28% were underweight. Of total number of children, 33.9%, 17.3% and 32.7% were stunted, wasted, and underweight respectively. Children born to mother with short stature were more likely to be stunted (OR=1.73, 95% CI 1.59-1.89), wasted (OR=1.26, 95% CI 1.12-1.41) and underweight (OR=1.64, 95% CI 1.50-1.79). Similarly, children with underweight mother were more likely to be stunted (OR=1.63, 95% CI 1.53-1.73), wasted (OR=1.64, 95% CI 1.52-1.77) and underweight (OR=2.14, 95% CI 2.01-2.27).

The study shows a strong association between maternal and child undernutrition demonstrating intergenerational linkage between the two. The national programme needs to focus on holistic and comprehensive nutrition strategy with targeted interventions to improve both maternal and child health.

Globally, there is a high prevalence of postpartum depression (17.7%) reported in a recent study among mothers during the postpartum period. It contributes to poor health and well-being among newly delivered women. We reviewed the published effect of nutrition and physical activity interventions on improving and treating postpartum depression.

The scoping review was performed using Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework. The systematic search was conducted using Scopus, Pubmed, EBSCOHost and Google Scholar in April 2020, updated in March 2021. Only literature published between January 2010 until February 2021 was searched.

A total of 25 articles were included, of which 23 were randomised controlled trials , and 2 were quasi-experimental studies. Some of studies found improvements in depression (76% out of all studies). On this basis, nutrition or physical activity intervention probably improves postpartum depression. Moreover, the integration of nutrition and physical activity appears to improve depression in the more thorough follow-up of participants . link2 Active involvement of the participant in the interventions was contributory to effectiveness.

Nutrition and physical activity interventions with appropriate strategy and delivery are promising options for the management of postpartum maternal mental health. More definitive investigation of non-pharmacological interventions to ameliorate depression among postpartum women is warranted.

Although large-scale natural disasters and the resultant changes in living environments worsen dietary habits among adults immediately after the disasters, whether this association remains for a long period is unclear. This is particularly important for recent mothers because lactating women require additional nutrition for milk production. Thus, we investigated the association of living environments with dietary habits and nutritional intake of recent mothers between four and seven years after the Great East Japan Earthquake (11th March, 2011).

We analyzed 8,551 mothers who participated to the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study. Living environments were characterized into four categories "same home before the earthquake", "rental housing", "reconstructed home", and "acquaintance's home". Dietary habits and nutritional intake were evaluated using a food frequency questionnaire answered 12 months after their deliveries (the questionnaire was answered between March 2015 and July 2018).

Multiple linear regression analyses demonstrated that mothers in 'rental housing' or 'reconstructed home' had a significantly lower intake of almost all nutrients or certain nutrients, respectively, compared with those residing in 'same home before the earthquake'. link3 However, fewer significant differences were detected between the nutritional intake of the mothers lodging in an 'acquaintance's home' and that of those living in 'same home before the earthquake'.

Our findings indicate that living environments long-term after largescale disasters are associated with dietary habits and nutritional intake among recent mothers.

An adequate iodine status during pregnancy is very important for maternal and infant health. The aim of this study was to characterize the iodine nutritional status of healthy pregnant women in Chengdu by measuring urinary iodine (UI) and analyzing dietary iodine intake.

Pregnant women who underwent regular antenatal examinations were invited to participate in this study. Each woman underwent UI determination and urinary creatinine (Cr) measurement and recorded the details of her diet and salt intake at the beginning and end of one week.

In total, 139 healthy pregnant women underwent UI determination in this study; among them, 116 participants completed the diet survey. The median urine iodine/ creatinine (UI/Cr) of the 139 patients was 216 μg/g, and the median dietary iodine level of 104 patients who completed the 7-day dietary record was 230 μg/d. The dietary iodine sources of the pregnant women were mainly seafood (11%), iodized salt (51%), iodized multivitamins (17%) and daily food (21%).

We concluded that healthy pregnant women in Chengdu showed appropriate iodine nutritional status.
