“…On the other hand, a dietary survey using FFQg [ 36 ] (a food frequency questionnaire based on food groups) administered to Japanese, Polish, and Thai individuals by Morinaka et al did not show seasonal changes [ 19 ]. However, in a report from the Netherlands and Spain [ 10 , 11 ] using dietary records and a study using 24-h recall [ 37 , 38 ], food and energy intake in winter were clearly higher than those in summer, and the reduction in energy intake in summer was consistent with the results of the present study.…”

We investigated seasonal changes in food intake, energy metabolism, and physical activity (PA) and explored their associations with body composition. In total, 28 women aged 20–23 years in the Kansai area of Japan participated in this year-long study spanning the winter, spring, and summer seasons. A dietary investigation was performed using the weight recording method, and the amount of histidine in the diet, which may be related to the regulation of energy intake, was calculated. Resting metabolic rate (RMR), body composition, and PA were measured using indirect calorimetry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and uniaxial accelerometry, respectively. The results showed that energy intake was highest in winter, decreased significantly with increasing temperature, and decreased by 25% in summer. As the intake of histidine in the diet did not increase in summer, it did not seem to be involved in the suppression of energy intake. RMR was highest in winter and decreased significantly in summer by 20%. The amount of PA was low in winter, increased significantly in the spring, and decreased again in summer. Body weight increased in winter, with an accumulation of fat in the trunk and arms, and decreased in summer, with a reduction in the amount of fat. Greater energy intake and less PA in winter induced an increment in body weight despite the increase in RMR. There were no significant changes in lean body mass between the seasons; however, the muscle weight of the lower limbs increased significantly in spring and in summer compared with that in winter (p < 0.001). Thus, seasonal changes in food intake, energy metabolism, and PA occur, with resultant changes in the body composition under comfortable air-conditioned environments.

“…The median total protein and animal protein intake of the subjects were 80.1 g/d and 38.9 g/d. The protein intake exceeded protein RNI in 62.3% of the subjects, consistent with recent other population data from the Shanghai survey [22]. The positive rate of TPO-Ab, TG-Ab, and TR-Ab was 10.40%, 9.43%, and 8.47%, respectively.…”

Background: Both of the iodine and animal protein may affect thyroid function. We explored the association between animal protein intake and thyroid antibody status in pregnant women after universal salt iodization.Method: Pregnant women were enrolled by using a multistage, stratified random sampling method. 4,646 eligible participants were interviewed in person with questionnaires physical examination and thyroid antibody test. Results: Only thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TR-Ab) positive rates were different among different animal protein intake groups. The median of urinary iodine concentration (UIC) in thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) positive groups was higher than the negative group. The median of total protein intake, animal protein intake and UIC in TR-Ab positive group was higher than the negative group. The medians of total protein intake and UIC in TPO-Ab/TG-Ab/TR-Ab positive group were higher than the negative group. The above differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The multivariable logistic regression results showed that insufficient iodine had a negative correlation with TPO-Ab positive and TR-Ab positive (P < 0.05). The middle third and top third animal protein intakes served as protective factors for TR-Ab (coefficient = 0.559, 95% CI = 0.415–0.752; coefficient = 0.0.406, 95% CI = 0.266–0.621) and positive TPO-Ab/TR-Ab/TG-Ab (coefficient = 0.817, 95% CI = 0.687–0.971; coefficient = 0.805, 95% CI= 0.672–0.964). Conclusions: Adequate animal protein intake protects against elevated anti-thyroid antibody levels in pregnant women with mild iodine deficiency.

“…Previous research on the seasonality of F&Vs in LMICs has largely been limited to rural areas, with intake of F&Vs tending to be higher during rainy/monsoon season compared with the dry/postmonsoon or winter season (19, 20), though not in all studies (21). Two recent studies in Shanghai, China, found that intake of F&Vs was highest in the summer, with particularly striking differences for fruits (22, 23). In contrast, a study in Ethiopia found little seasonal variability in intake of F&Vs in urban areas (24).…”

Few studies have attempted to quantify the variety, price, and consumer desirability of fruits and vegetables (F&Vs) across a diversity of cities. We implemented a market basket survey of F&Vs from December 2018 to February 2019 in middle-income neighborhoods of the following cities: Visakhapatnam, India; Kathmandu, Nepal; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Mexico City, Mexico; Bangkok, Thailand; and Brookline, United States. The total variety of fruits ranged from 4.1 in Visakhapatnam to 17.3 in Brookline, and of vegetables from 6.1 in Dar es Salaam to 20.3 in Brookline. Of the 3 fruits for which price data were collected, apples tended to be the most expensive, and bananas the least expensive. For vegetables, capsicum tended to be the most expensive and eggplants the least expensive. Tablet-based market basket surveys are a useful tool for evaluating food environments. These pilot data provide further evidence of the homogenization of global diets.
