Dietary intake data which were collected in the course of a trial on 16 children, who were diagnosed as being hyperactive, are examined. The nutritional adequacy of the children's diets before and during treatment with the Australian version of the Feingold elimination diet is calculated. The mean intakes of all computed nutrients were above the recommended level in the Australian Dietary Allow...

Adequate intake of nutrients by pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is very important for appropriate weight gain and maintenance of normoglycemia without ketonuria. The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional intake of pregnant women with GDM or T2DM who had not been provided with nutritional education regarding blood glucose...

This study examined the association between nutritional awareness and diet quality, as indicated by energy density, dietary diversity and adequacy to achieve dietary recommendations, while considering the potentially important role of socioeconomic status (SES). Data were derived from 1351 subjects, aged 18-69 years and enrolled in the ORISCAV-LUX study. Energy density score (EDS), dietary dive...

BACKGROUND The number of morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery (BS) has increased dramatically in recent years. Therefore, monitoring food intake and its consequences in terms of nutritional status is necessary to prevent nutritional deficiencies. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of food restriction on nutritional parameters in the short-term (≤3 months) period aft...

Nutritional status of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important since it affects growth and development. This study was to investigate overall diet quality measured by nutrient intake adequacy, nutrient density, and several dietary habits in children with CKD and its relationship with clinical parameters according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Assessment of nutritional stat...

OBJECTIVE Child-care providers have a key role to play in promoting child nutrition, but the higher cost of nutritious foods may pose a barrier. The present study tested the hypothesis that higher nutritional quality of foods served was associated with higher food expenditures in child care homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). DESIGN In this cross-sectional st...

BACKGROUND The USDA child meal programs (CMPs) (National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) were established in 1946 (NSLP) and 1975 (SBP and SFSP) to improve the diet and nutritional health of US children. There is concern that participation in these programs may in fact be a contributor to the current childhood obesity epidemic....

The power of published models of dialysis adequacy to predict clinical outcomes in renal failure patients maintained on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is controversial. Inflammation may be an important predictor of morbidity and mortality in CAPD. Baseline data from a 2-yr prospective, longitudinal study of peritoneal dialysis adequacy were analysed. Baseline measures of dialy...

This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of six typical Brazilian cheeses (bovine milk coalho, goat fresh ricotta, manteiga, Minas, Padrão Minas). Minas cheese presented high acidity highest contents protein, fat, ash, while Ricotta lowest ash. Bovine coalho were characterized as source zinc. Manteiga was by yellow color (higher b* values). Goat white...
