Background null The food system is a social determinant of health and leverage point for reducing diet-related racial inequities. Yet, food system interventions have not resulted in sustained improvement in dietary outcomes for underrepresented minorities living in neighborhoods with a history of disinvestment. Research is needed to illuminate the dynamics structuring food systems in racialized neighborhoods to inform intervention development. null Objective null Conduct participatory research e...
Background null Zinc biofortification of rice could sustainably improve zinc status in countries where zinc deficiency is common and rice is a staple, but its efficacy has not been tested. Fatty acid desaturases (FADS) are putative new zinc status biomarkers. null Objective null Our objective was to test the efficacy of zinc-biofortified rice in preschool-aged children with zinc-deficiency. Our hypothesis was that consumption of zinc-biofortified rice would increase plasma zinc concentration (PZ...

Background null The consumption of 2 g/d plant sterols (PS) reduces circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) up to 10%. The degree of LDL-C lowering was associated with specific apolipoprotein E (APOE, rs429358) and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1, rs3808607) genosets in previous post hoc analyses of randomized controlled trials. However, since post-hoc analyses do not conform to the randomization model, there is a greater potential that the findings may be due to type I error,...

BACKGROUND The effects of a dietary supplementation with the vegetable omega-3 α-linolenic acid (ALA) on cardiovascular homeostasis are unclear. In this context, it would be interesting to assess the effects of camelina oil. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the cardiovascular and metabolic effects of camelina oil in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome. METHODS In a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized study, treated essential hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome rece...
Background null Current global food systems threaten human health and environmental sustainability. In 2019, the EAT-Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems defined the first global reference diet to improve both areas, but there is no consensus on how to quantify the EAT-Lancet reference diet as a diet index and its relation to mortality has not been widely studied. null Objective null To develop a new dietary index to quantify adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet and asses...
BACKGROUND Healthier dietary patterns involve more plant-based foods than current Western diets rich in animal products containing high levels of bioavailable iron and zinc. Little consideration is given to the bioavailability of iron and zinc when studying healthy eating patterns. OBJECTIVES Our aim was to determine whether currently estimated requirements for bioavailable iron and zinc limit the identification of healthier dietary patterns. METHODS Using dietary data from a representative Fren...
BACKGROUND Plant-based diets are associated with multiple health benefits and a favorable environmental impact. For prostate cancer, previous studies suggest a beneficial role of specific plant-based foods (e.g., tomatoes) and a potentially harmful role of specific animal-based foods (e.g., meat, dairy). However, less is known about plant-based dietary patterns. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between Plant-based Diet Indices and prostate cancer risk, including clinically relevant disease....
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vitamin K-dependent proteins function as calcification inhibitors in vascular tissue. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the association of vitamin K status with mortality and CVD events in adults with CKD. DESIGN Plasma dephospho-uncarboxylated matrix gla protein ((dp)ucMGP), which increases when vitamin K status is low, and plasma phylloquinone (vitamin K1...
BACKGROUND The association of meat consumption with gastric cancer is inconclusive. OBJECTIVE We examined the association of meat consumption with gastric cancer risk among Japanese males and females. METHODS This cohort study included 42,328 male and 48,176 female participants of the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study, who were aged 45 to 74 y at recruitment. Dietary intake data were collected from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1999 using a validated food frequency questionnai...
BACKGROUND Diet quality scores (DQSs) are frequently used to study diet-disease relationships but the validity of these scores derived from food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) has rarely been evaluated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the validity and reproducibility of six commonly used DQSs derived from the FFQ, including the Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010), Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score, alternative Mediterranean Diet score (AMED), and three plant-based diet indi...
