“…A theoretical SEM was established based on previous studies ( Soh et al., 2020 ; Miranda et al., 2020c ; Carrizo et al., 2020 ). This model consisted of one latent variable (cognition), represented by metamemory, metaconcentration, and memory complaints.…”

Objective The 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) required strict confinement measures that differentially impacted the individual's daily life. Thus, this work aimed to study postpartum women's mental health in Argentina during mandatory social isolation. Design A cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to July 2020, which included five validated questionnaires to assess postpartum depression (Postpartum Depression Screening Scale‐Short Form), insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index), memory complaints (Memory Complaint Scale), metacognition (Brief Metamemory and Metaconcentration Scale), and breastfeeding self-efficacy (Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form). Sociodemographic variables, social isolation characteristics, and breastfeeding practices were also collected. This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Statistical analysis included zero-order correlations, multiple logistic regressions, and a set of structural equation models (SEM) to test direct and indirect effects. Goodness-of-fit indices were calculated for SEM. Setting Postpartum women were recruited from public hospitals, private health clinics, and online community recruitment in the Cordoba province (Argentina). Participants 305 postpartum women from Argentina. Measurements and findings 37% of women reported postpartum depression, 46% insomnia, 42% memory impairment, 60% low metaconcentration, 50% low metamemory, and 23% low breastfeeding efficacy. Also, significant associations were found demonstrating that social isolation promoted postpartum depression and insomnia were reciprocally related, which compromised female cognition and efficacy. This situation was aggravated in women during late postpartum, with previous children, and by low social support (e.g., family, health professionals), with non-exclusive breastfeeding being increased. Key conclusions This is the first study addressing postpartum women's mental status during social isolation in Argentina, which was a promoting factor for postpartum depression and insomnia that were reciprocally related. This situation was also aggravated by reproductive factors, such as late postpartum, multiparity, breastfeeding frequency, and non-exclusive breastfeeding. Additionally, breastfeeding self-efficacy depended on mental health status, and euthymia therefore favoured the practice of exclusive breastfeeding.

“…[ 52 ] The few clinical and observational studies that have examined the association between dietary lignans and cognitive performance have found them to be positively related. [ 53–55 ] Altogether, these results suggest that the microbial lignans ELD and EDG may have a beneficial impact on neurocognitive health.…”

ScopeDiets rich in polyphenols has been associated with better cognitive performance. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between microbial phenolic metabolites (MPM) in urine and cognition in the context of an older population at high cardiovascular risk.Methods and resultsA cross‐sectional analysis is conducted in 400 individuals of the PREDIMED‐Plus study. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry is used to identify urinary MPM. Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) adherence is estimated with a 17‐item questionnaire and cognitive function is evaluated with a battery of neuropsychological tests. Multivariable‐adjusted linear regression models are fitted to assess the relationship of urinary MPM with the MedDiet and cognitive tests. Protocatechuic acid and enterolactone glucuronide are associated with higher adherence to the MedDiet. Regarding cognitive function, protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid glucuronide, 3‐hydroxybenzoic acid, enterodiol glucuronide, and enterolactone glucuronide are directly associated with a global composite score of all the cognitive tests. Furthermore, protocatechuic acid and enterolactone glucuronide are associated with higher scores in the Mini‐Mental State Examination, whereas enterodiol glucuronide is associated with improved Clock Drawing Test scores.ConclusionsThese results suggest that the MedDiet is linked to MPM associated with better cognitive performance in an older population.

“…After 30 min, the participant must again remember the words of the first list (Trial A7-long term delayed free recall-), and finally identify them on a printed sheet with 75 words (visual recognition). For this study, a set of traditional and novel scores were obtained from RAVLT ( Alviarez-Schulze et al 2022 ; Miranda et al 2021a ; Tyagi et al 2021 ).…”

“…All of the models were adjusted by potential confounders (β). The sets of potential confounders for each model were selected according to directed acyclic graphs, using the criterion of minimal sufficient adjustment for direct effects ( Figure 1 ) ( Miranda et al 2021a ). Values of 0 and 1 were adopted to establish the absence and presence, respectively, of the covariates introduced in the ANCOVA models, which combines an analysis of variance to the data and a multiple linear regression to the data to eliminate the effect of the covariates.…”

“…Although their bioactivity was thoroughly documented, the relevance of polyphenols as part of a habitual diet is still unclear due to the complexity of human nutrition and metabolism ( Luca et al 2020 ). Nonetheless, previous research suggested that the dietary intake of certain polyphenol families enhances memory during postpartum ( Miranda et al 2021a ). Thus, HJ-Biplot, an innovative methodological approach in nutritional epidemiology, will be applied herein.…”

Dietary Intake of Polyphenols Enhances Executive/Attentional Functioning and Memory with an Improvement of the Milk Lipid Profile of Postpartum Women from Argentina

et al. 2022

Puerperium may lead to memory and executive/attentional complaints that interfere with women’s daily life. This might be prevented by dietary compounds, such as neuroprotective polyphenols. Their bioactivity depends on their effects on lipid metabolism in different tissues, such as the brain, fat, and breast. Thus, a polyphenol-related cognitive improvement may be associated with changes of lipids in human milk, which are key for infant neurodevelopment. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 75 postpartum women from Córdoba (Argentina), involving several neuropsychological tests. Diet was registered to identify polyphenol intake and food pattern adherence, with sociodemographic and other psychological variables (insomnia, stress, subjective cognitive complaints) being also studied. Triacylglycerols, cholesterol, and their oxidative forms were analyzed as milk biomarkers. Multivariate statistical methods were applied. Results confirmed that women who consumed polyphenols presented better executive/attentional performance (i.e., higher correct responses, conceptual level responses, complete categories, verbal fluency; lower attentional interferences, and perseverative errors) and word retention with lower interference. Polyphenols were positively associated with milk lipids, which were higher in women with better cognition. Furthermore, they had lower oxidized triacylglycerols. In conclusion, polyphenolic intake during postpartum may improve executive/attentional functioning, memory, and milk lipid profile.
