“…These findings could be explained by the high use of pesticides in China and Hong Kong, where all three studies reporting neutral or negative results were conducted, although this hypothesis cannot be confirmed. More general concepts of healthy dietary habits 42 or organic food consumption 43 were also reported to be associated with a lower prevalence or development of ED, as was adherence to the Mediterranean diet, most commonly assessed through food‐frequency questionnaires 44–47 .

Background: Erectile dysfunction is recognized as one of the complications of diabetes mellitus. To date, a wide gap of knowledge is present on the efficacy of pharmacological treatments of diabetes mellitus on erectile function, acting not only through metabolic control. Similarly, the effects of different diet regimens on erectile dysfunction are still debated. Objectives:We aimed to explore the effects of diet and antihyperglycemic drugs, considering both old and novel therapeutic approaches, on erectile function. Materials/methods:We performed a systematic review, following the PRISMA guidelines. The research was conducted on studies reporting erectile dysfunction assessment in subjects with diabetes and the relationship with diet and antihyperglycemic drugs. Results:The Mediterranean diet was effective in most studies for the protection of erectile function. Furthermore, antihyperglycemic drugs seem to show an overall protective role on erectile function.Discussion/conclusion: Although encouraging results are present for all classes of antihyperglycemic drugs, several studies are needed in humans, mainly on acarbose, pioglitazone, dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.

IntroductionThe word "sexual satisfaction" means a person's pleasant feelings towards sexual intercourse (1) and includes the individual's satisfaction from sexual activity until reaching orgasm (2). According to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, sexual health is the integration and coordination of the mind, the senses and the individual's body that leads to putting one's social and rational efforts in the direction of personality promotion, and ultimately leads to communication and love among individuals. Therefore, any disorder that leads to the elimination of this coordination and integration results in sexual dysfunction and, as a result, dissatisfaction with sex (3).The latest theory on sexual function includes 6 components for female sexual function. The sexual desire component is an individual's desire to engage in sexual activity. The sexual arousal component is stimulation of physiological responses in sexual organs, which includes swelling of the vagina, labia and clitoris in women. The slippery or moisture component is vaginal secretions that increase due to arousal and lead to slipping. The orgasm component is characterized by rhythmic contractions of the uterine muscle and external one third of the vagina and anal sphincter. The satisfaction component is the sexual satisfaction from intercourse with the spouse, satisfaction with sexual relations and satisfaction with the whole marital life. The pain component is the amount of vaginal pain during sexual intercourse and postpartum (4).Various studies have investigated the prevalence of sexual dysfunction. For example, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in Iranian studies includes Birjand's finding of 60.3% (5), Yazd's finding of 73.2% (6), and Sabzevar's finding of 63.21% (7). In non-Iranian studies, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction is 40% in the United States and Sweden, 29.6% in Malaysia and Turkey (8), 69% in Egypt (9), and 35% in China (10).Optimal sexual function and sexual satisfaction results in warmth and passion in couples. It would protect them against many diseases and mental and physical disorders. For example, there is a relationship between sexual satisfaction and reducing heart attacks in men and reducing incidence of migraine headaches, symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and chronic arthritis in women (11). In contrast, people who have Abstract Objectives: Sexual decency is one of the false beliefs among women about sexual function, and women who have this belief choose an inactive and passive sexual role. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of decisiveness-based sexuality counselling on sexual function among married female students at the University of Sistan and Baluchestan. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study used a pre-test-post-test design and was conducted on 80 married female students who were selected and randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 40) or control (n = 40) groups. The data collection tool was Rosen's Sexual Function questionnaire. The intervention group, after the ...

“…There is an increasing interest in the study of the preventive role of MD and also as a treatment for various pathologies associated with chronic inflammation, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (CVD), neurodegenerative diseases, breast cancer and psycho-organic deterioration, leading to greater longevity and better quality of life (Dussaillant et al, 2016;Chrysohoou et al, 2004;Trichopoulou, 2004;Serra-Majem, Roman & Estruch, 2006;Estruch et al, 2013;Sofi et al, 2014;Della Camera et al, 2017). Moreover, the importance of MD has also been identified as a potential element contributing to the prevention of breast cancer (Shapira, 2017) or in patients carrying the BRCA mutation (Bruno et al, 2017).…”

Food consumption patterns have undergone changes that in recent years have resulted in serious health problems. Studies based on the evaluation of the nutritional status have determined that the adoption of a food pattern-based primarily on a Mediterranean diet (MD) has a preventive role, as well as the ability to mitigate the negative effects of certain pathologies. A group of more than 500 adults aged over 40 years from our cohort in Northwestern Spain was surveyed. Under our experimental design, 10 experiments were run with four different machine-learning algorithms and the predictive factors most relevant to the adherence of a MD were identified. A feature selection approach was explored and under a null hypothesis test, it was concluded that only 16 measures were of relevance, suggesting the strength of this observational study. Our findings indicate that the following factors have the highest predictive value in terms of the degree of adherence to the MD: basal metabolic rate, mini nutritional assessment questionnaire total score, weight, height, bone density, waist-hip ratio, smoking habits, age, EDI-OD, circumference of the arm, activity metabolism, subscapular skinfold, subscapular circumference in cm, circumference of the waist, circumference of the calf and brachial area.
