Renal transplant recipients (RTR) are at risk of decline of graft function and premature mortality, with high blood pressure as an important risk factor for both. To study the association of the Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet with these adverse events, we conducted a prospective cohort study of adult RTR. Dietary data were collected using a validated 177‐item food frequency questionnaire and an overall DASH‐score was obtained. We included 632 stable RTR (mean ± standard deviation age 53.0 ± 12.7 years, 57% men). Mean DASH score was 23.8 ± 4.7. During median follow‐up of 5.3 (interquartile range, 4.1‐6.0) years, 119 (18.8%) RTR had renal function decline, defined as a combined endpoint of doubling of serum creatinine and death‐censored graft failure, and 128 (20.3%) died. In Cox‐regression analyses, RTR in the highest tertile of the DASH score had lower risk of both renal function decline (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33‐0.96, P = .03) and all‐cause mortality (HR = 0.52; 95%CI, 0.32‐0.83, P = .006) compared to the lowest tertile, independent of potential confounders. Adherence to a DASH‐style diet is associated with lower risk of both renal function decline and all‐cause mortality. These results suggest that a healthful diet might benefit long‐term outcome in RTR.

“…Physical activity was assessed using the previously validated Short Questionnaire to Assess Health‐Enhancing Physical Activity (SQUASH) 5. Diet was assessed using a semi‐quantitative validated food‐frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that was developed and validated at the Wageningen University, inquiring about intake of 177 items during the last month, taking seasonal variations into account 6. Both questionnaires were self‐administered and completed at home, and subsequently checked for completeness by a trained researcher.…”

The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes do not reach target levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c < 7%). We investigated the prevalence of HbA1c‐target achievement and opportunities afforded by lifestyle and pharmacological treatment to increase target achievement. We performed cross‐sectional analyses of baseline data from the Diabetes and Lifestyle Cohort Twente‐1 (DIALECT‐1). Patients were divided according to (1) HbA1c <53 and ≥53 mmol/mol (<7%) and (2) non‐insulin treatment and tertiles of daily insulin use. We found that 161 (36%) patients achieved the target HbA1c level. Patients with HbA1c ≥53 mmol/mol had a longer duration of diabetes (13 [8‐20] vs 9 [4‐14] years; P < .001) and more frequently were insulin‐users (76% vs 41%, P < .001). Patients in the highest tertile of insulin use had a higher body mass index than those in the lowest tertile (35.8 ± 5.5 vs 29.8 ± 5.5 kg/m2; P < .001). Achievement of target HbA1c is low in this type 2 diabetes population. High resistance to pharmacological treatment, paralleled with high body mass index, illustrates that increasing insulin sensitivity through lifestyle intervention is the best opportunity to improve HbA1c target achievement in this real‐life population.

“…At that time, the diagnosis of the CHD phenotypes had been confirmed. Dietary intake was assessed using a modified version of the semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) of Feunekes et al [8] covering the previous 4 weeks. This for fats validated FFQ has been updated twice based on data of Dutch national food consumption surveys in 1992 and 1998 and was also specifically validated for B vitamin intakes [21,22,33].…”

Maternal intake of fat, riboflavin and nicotinamide and the risk of having offspring with congenital heart defects

j Abstract Background With the exception of studies on folic acid, little evidence is available concerning other nutrients in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects (CHDs). Fatty acids play a central role in embryonic development, and the B-vitamins riboflavin and nicotinamide are co-enzymes in lipid metabolism. Aim of the study To investigate associations between the maternal dietary intake of fats, riboflavin and nicotinamide, and CHD risk in the offspring. Methods A casecontrol family study was conducted in 276 mothers of a child with a CHD comprising of 190 outflow tract defects (OTD) and 86 non-outflow tract defects (non-OTD) and 324 control mothers of a non-malformed child. Mothers filled out general and food frequency questionnaires at 16 months after the index-pregnancy, as a proxy of the habitual food intake in the preconception period. Nutrient intakes (medians)were compared between cases and controls by Mann-Whitney U test. Odds ratios (OR) for the association between CHDs and nutrient intakes were estimated in a logistic regression model. Results Case mothers, in particular mothers of a child with OTD, had higher dietary intakes of saturated fat, 30.9 vs. 29.8 g/d; P < 0.05. Dietary intakes of riboflavin and nicotinamide were lower in mothers of a child with an OTD than in controls (1.32 vs. 1.41 mg/d; P < 0.05 and 14.6 vs. 15.1 mg/d; P < 0.05, respectively). Energy, unsaturated fat, cholesterol and folate intakes were comparable between the groups. Low dietary intakes of both riboflavin (<1.20 mg/d) and nicotinamide (<13.5 mg/d) increased more than two-fold the risk of a child with an OTD, especially in mothers who did not use vitamin supplements in the periconceptional period (OR 2.4, 95%CI 1.4-4.0). Increasing intakes of nicotinamide (OR 0.8, 95%CI 0.7-1.001, per unit standard deviation increase) decreased CHD risk independent of dietary folate intake. Conclusions A maternal diet high in saturated fats and low
