However, one may assume that some efforts were made by humans to feed their canine companions , and symbiotic relationships developed. As domestication emerged, humans continued to share ...

Dietary patterns have been related to health outcomes and morbi-mortality. Mediterranean diet indexes are correlated with adequate nutrient intake. The objective of the present study was to analyse the adequacy of nutrient intake of a posteriori defined Mediterranean (MDP) and Western (WDP) diet patterns in the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN) cohort. A sample of 17 197 subjects partici...

METHODS A case series study was carried out at the Pediatric Oncology Unit of the Insti...

Background: Dietary patterns are the quantities, proportions, variety or combinations of different foods and beverages in diets, and the frequency with which they are habitually consumed. In Ethiopia, information on the dietary patterns and association of the proxies of dietary adequacy and quality with nutritional outcomes is scarce. The aims of this paper were to assess the interactions betwe...
