“…In this study, 27% of the participants skipped breakfast, lower than that found between adolescents in other Brazilian studies (36.2% to 38%) [ 52 , 53 ]. Furthermore, we found a higher prevalence of breakfast skipping among participants with a family history for obesity (52.4%), similar to a study in Egypt [ 54 ], and despite that a higher prevalence of breakfast skipping among participants with acyanotic CHD (66.6%) was observed, no similar study was found for comparison.…”

Little is known about skipping breakfast and breakfast patterns (BP) and their evaluation according to sociodemographic, clinical, lifestyle, cardiometabolic and nutritional data in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD). This cross-sectional study with 232 children and adolescents with CHD identified the prevalence and patterns of the breakfast, described these according to sociodemographic, clinical and lifestyle characteristics, and assessed their association with cardiometabolic and nutritional markers. Breakfast patterns were identified by principal components, and bivariate and linear regression analysis were applied. Breakfast consumption was observed in 73% of participants. Four BP were identified: pattern 1 “milk, ultra-processed bread, and chocolate milk”, pattern 2 “margarine and processed bread”, pattern 3 “cold meats/sausages, cheeses and butter/cream” and pattern 4 “fruits/fruit juices, breakfast cereals, yogurts, and homemade cakes/pies and sweet snacks”. Family history for obesity and acyanotic CHD were associated with breakfast skipping. Younger participants and greater maternal education were associated with greater adherence to pattern 1 and pattern 4. Older participants and longer post-operative time showed greater adherence to pattern 3. No association between skipping breakfast or BP and cardiometabolic and nutritional markers was observed. Nonetheless, the findings reinforce the need for nutritional guidance for healthy breakfast, aiming to reduce the consumption of ultra-processed foods and to prioritize fresh and minimally processed foods.

“…A similar practice of breakfast skipping among obese Egyptian mothers was previously reported, and was related to increased body weight. [45] Also breakfast composition was emphasized to contain more protein, fat and less carbohydrate which was consistent with Chandler-Laney et al, [46] who compared 2 types of diets; high carbohydrate/low fat breakfast, versus low carbohydrate/high fat breakfast. Low carbohydrate/high fat breakfast was associated with less hunger 3-4 hours after eating.…”

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is related to lifestyle practices including dietary intake and sedentary lifestyle. The common treatment is directed towards weight loss, which is usually difficult to be achieved or maintained. Therefore, a nutritional intervention program aiming at improving the metabolic health not only focusing on weight loss was conducted. Total of 110 patients referred to the hepatology outpatient clinic in the Main Alexandria University Hospital were selected based on ultrasound examination. Data about dietary intake, habits, and practices, and lifestyle practices were collected. Body composition measurements, laboratory investigations, clinical examination and measuring liver fat by ultrasound were assessed. A Mediterranean diet reduced in total carbohydrates, very low in refined sugars, rich in vegetables, moderate in fruits and low fat dairy, with more incorporation of fish, legumes, olive oil, nuts and seeds; was used for 12 weeks and different exercise advices were provided to patients. A significant reduction in the amount of liver fat, together with improvement in lipid profile, liver enzymes, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and waist circumference were reported. The criteria of metabolic syndrome and gastrointestinal tract symptoms were improved among the majority of patients, with moderate reduction in body weight 5-6%. Liver fat content estimated by ultrasound was associated with the amount of dietary fat and carbohydrate intake, eating meals at irregular times, and unhealthy cooking methods. Nutrition intervention with Mediterranean diet has significant positive impact on metabolic health of NAFLD patients.

“…There are only limited studies investigating association between intake of naturally vitamin containing foods and vitamin deficiency in obesity (19)(20)(21). The objective of the present study was to compare the serum vitamin D, vitamin B12, and folic acid levels of nondiabetic obese patients and nonobese healthy controls, and to investigate the relationship between vitamin deficiencies, insulin resistance, and glucose metabolism.…”

objective. Obese people may have nutritional deficiencies, although they are exposed to excessive food intake. We aim to assess relationship of vitamin D, B12, and folic acid levels and dietary vitamin intake and insulin resistance in obese people. Design. This case-control study was performed at the obesity outpatient clinics between March 2014 and April 2015. subjects and methods. We included 304 nondiabetic obese subjects in patient group and 150 normal weight individuals in control group. Patients were questioned in detail about their food intake. Results. Mean age of obese patients was 37.3±10.1 years, the mean duration of obesity was 7.9±5.4 years, and the percentage of female patients was 65.8%. Mean vitamin D, B12, and folic acid levels were significantly lower in patients than in controls. Vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) in 69.7%, vitamin B12 deficiency (<200 pg/mL) in 13.5%, and folic acid deficiency (<4 ng/mL) was found in 14.2% of the patients. BMI negatively correlated with vitamin D, B12, and folic acid levels. B12 levels negatively correlated with duration of obesity. Insulin resistance was found in 55.9% of patients and HOMA-IR levels negatively correlated with vitamin D and B12 levels. While dietary vitamin D and folic acid intakes were inadequate in all of patients, only 28.3% of patients had inadequate vitamin B12 intake. There was no relation between vitamin levels and dietary vitamin intakes. conclusions. The study reveals that vitamin D, B12, and folic acid levels were low and poor vitamin D and B12 status were associated with insulin resistance in nondiabetic obese patients.
