“…While dietary assessment methods used in US (156) or UK (157) studies have previously been compiled, the current review is the first to specifically focus on systematically identifying and describing instruments that can be used to assess intake of F&V in pan-European studies. As European-wide interventions to promote the consumption of F&V are further developed, valid instruments that can assess and monitor intake in a standardised and comparable way across Europe are essential.…”

“…The review is limited in its focus to pan-European studies, as the aim was to identify instruments used in European populations and to provide a selection of methods which may be applied to future studies based in these countries. However, this does not preclude the fact that additional instruments and innovative methods (157) that have been used and validated as part of large-scale nonEuropean studies, such as the US NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) (158) , may be suitable for assessing intakes across Europe. In some cases, a copy of the original instrument or article that detailed characteristics of the assessment method could not be identified and the description provided may be limited as a result.…”

Evidence suggests that health benefits are associated with consuming recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables (F&V), yet standardised assessment methods to measure F&V intake are lacking. The current review aims to identify methods to assess F&V intake among children and adults in pan-European studies and inform the development of the DEDIPAC (DEterminants of DIet and Physical Activity) toolbox of methods suitable for use in future European studies.\ud A literature search was conducted using three electronic databases and by hand-searching reference lists. English-language studies of any design which assessed F&V intake were included in the review.\ud Studies involving two or more European countries were included in the review.\ud Healthy, free-living children or adults.\ud The review identified fifty-one pan-European studies which assessed F&V intake. The FFQ was the most commonly used (n 42), followed by 24 h recall (n 11) and diet records/diet history (n 7). Differences existed between the identified methods; for example, the number of F&V items on the FFQ and whether potatoes/legumes were classified as vegetables. In total, eight validated instruments were identified which assessed F&V intake among adults, adolescents or children.\ud The current review indicates that an agreed classification of F&V is needed in order to standardise intake data more effectively between European countries. Validated methods used in pan-European populations encompassing a range of European regions were identified. These methods should be considered for use by future studies focused on evaluating intake of F&V

“…In addition, FFQ responses are subject to systematic and random errors, which may have affected the results [39], although our sensitivity analysis did not indicate a systematic error which, together with the use of meal size and protein proportion as adjusting variables, gives additional strength to our findings. Furthermore, the chosen method was logistically preferable to the use of interview-based assessments, due to the large number of participants [40]. The use of accelerometers to objectively measure physical activity allowed data collection for only 1 week, although this approach may be preferable to the assessment of self-recalled physical activity, considering the effects of recall bias [16].…”

Summary In the present population-based study including 70-year-old men and women, total dairy product intake was associated with a weak positive association with tibia trabecular and cortical cross-sectional areas. Purpose Milk consumption has recently been suggested to increase fracture risk. Therefore, we aimed to investigate associations between dairy product consumption and peripheral bone properties. Furthermore, we explored whether consumption of milk and fermented dairy products affected bone properties differently. Methods The Healthy Aging Initiative is a population-based, cross-sectional study investigating the health of 70-year-old men and women. Out of the 2904 individuals who met the inclusion criteria, data on self-reported daily dairy product consumption (dl/ day), peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) examinations at the 4 and 66% scan sites of the tibia and radius, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans were collected from 2040 participants. Associations between dairy product consumption and bone properties were examined using multiple linear regression models adjusted for sex, muscle area, meal size, dietary protein proportion, current smoking status, and objectively measured physical activity. Results Total dairy product intake was associated with larger trabecular (2.296 (95% CI, 0.552-4.039) mm 2 , per dl/day increase, p = 0.01) and cortical cross-sectional areas (CSAs) in the tibia (1.757 (95% CI, 0.683-2.830 mm 2 , p = 0.001) as measured by pQCT and higher areal bone mineral density (aBMD) of the radius (3.231 (95% CI, 0.764-5.698) mg/cm 2 , p = 0.01) as measured by DXA. No other measurement in the tibia, radius, femoral neck, or lower spine was associated significantly with dairy product intake. Bone properties did not differ according to the type of dairy product consumed. Conclusion No evidence of a negative association between dairy product consumption and bone health was found. Furthermore, total dairy product consumption was associated with increased CSAs in the tibia, regardless of dairy product type. Collectively, our findings indicate the existence of a weak but significant positive association between dairy product consumption bone properties in older adults.

“…The basic clinical, demographic, and genetic data were taken from a previous study. The dietary data for this study were specifically collected through a 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire (17). The study subjects were grouped on the basis of BMI and waist circumference, obesity traits, and hypertension among FTO gene variants.…”

. The present study is based on a previously published case-control study that indicates the association of different FTO gene with type 2 diabetes. The structured questionnaire was used to gather anthropometric, biochemical, and clinical data. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FTO gene was analyzed using Amplication Refractory Mutation System-Polymerase Chain Reaction (ARMS-PCR). The nutritional data were collected using a 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire completed by a trained dietitian. The variations in energy and macronutrient intake of subjects having different FTO gene alleles were investigated and evaluated for correlations between energy and macronutrient intake and metabolic risk variables in three FTO-gene-allele groups. Results: Overall, 198 adult subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) were recruited and categorized into three genotype groups: TT, AA and AT with the mean age of 49.7 ±9.7, 49.3 ±10.6 and 50.2 ±8.8 years, respectively. A close association was observed between the minor allele A at rs9939609 and type 2 diabetes. A linear correlation was observed between diet and metabolic prole markers such as BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and lipid prole among high-risk alleles AA. The associations of energy intake and percent level of carbohydrate and protein intake with metabolic syndrome were signi-cantly higher among risk alleles AA (P<0.05). However, the majority of the biochemical parameters and dietary components were found to be statistically insignicant (p>0.05). Discussion: Genetic prole is likely to affect both dietary habits as well as the association between diet and metabolic syndrome markers. This study concludes that diet-disease associations are more prominent in individuals having risk alleles AA as compared to protective alleles TT and heterozygous alleles AT.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, Mart 2011 ile Mayıs 2013 arasında Baqai Diabetoloji ve Endokrinoloji Enstitüsü (BIDE) Karachi, Pakistan'da gerçekleştirildi. Bu çalışma, farklı FTO genlerinin Tip 2 diyabet ile ilişkisini gösteren önceden yayımlanmış bir vaka kontrol çalışmasına dayanmaktadır.

FTO genindeki tek nükleotid polimorzmi (SNP), Amplikasyon Refrakter Mutasyon Sistemi-Polimeraz Zincir Reaksiyonu (ARMS-PCR) kullanılarak analiz edildi. Beslenme verileri, eğitimli bir diyetisyen tarafından doldurulmuş 24 saatlik bir diyet hatırlatma anketi kullanılarak toplandı. Farklı FTO gen alellerine sahip bireylerin enerji ve makro besin alımındaki değişiklikler araştırıldı ve üç FTOgen-alel grubundaki enerji, makrobesin alımı ve metabolik risk değişkenleri arasındaki korelasyonlar açısından değerlendirildi.
