The study assessed the quantity and value of food crop outputs of the gender categories in the Anambra state. At this research estimated the quantity and energy content of food stuffs consumed as well as required by each gender headed households, estimated the extent and magnitude of food security and insecurity in the area among the gender categories and examined the determinants of food secur...

We investigated whether sex or age influenced winter diet in American martens (Martes americana) from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan by analyzing gut content of 151 individuals trapped during 2000–2004. We identified 433 occurrences of 10 prey species and classified them into six groups based on body size. Overall, marten diets were similar to those reported previously. Proportion of prey grou...

Abstract Introduction Chronic sleep restriction (CSR) has been associated with increased calorie intake and consumption of fats carbohydrates, inconsistent changes in protein. However, the majority studies have either observational field no intervention, or laboratory-based where food availability may not reflected participants’ real-world choices. We hypothesized that calorie, fat, carbohydrat...

background: nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash) is part of a broad spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases that can lead to cirrhosis. to date, there is no effective medical treatment for nash. we aim to compare the effect of aerobic exercise in conjunction with diet to diet alone on the improvement of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in patients with nash. materials and methods:...

BACKGROUND Children generally do not consume adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables (F/V). Eating more F/V can improve energy density and overall diet quality. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to investigate whether improvements in F/V consumption were associated with improvements in energy density, total calories, and dietary components related to F/V. DESIGN We performed secondary analyses of die...

BACKGROUND COPD, the fifth-leading cause of death worldwide, is characterized by chronic inflammation. However, no available agent can effectively cure this inflammation. A dietary supplement containing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we hypothesized that nutritional support with omega-3 PUFA-rich diets may be useful for treating COPD, a...

BACKGROUND Reduction of child undernutrition is one of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Achievement of this goal may be made more difficult in some settings by climate change through adverse impact on agricultural productivity. However, there is only limited quantitative evidence on the link between household crop harvests and child nutrition. We examined this link in a largely subsi...

Previous studies have analyzed total carbohydrate as a dietary risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) but obtained conflicting results, perhaps attributable in part to the embedded potential confounder, fiber. The aim of this study was to analyze the nonfiber ("effective") carbohydrate component (eCarb) separately and to test the hypothesis that effective carbohydrate consumption is directly r...
