Abstract

The reproducibility of a 3-day dietary record was investigated in 61 subjects including adults and children of both sexes. The subjects completed two records within an interval of 7 days. The agreement of the records was moderate to high for almost all nutrients, with the exception of retinol intake for which very low intraclass correlation coefficients were noted. Sex did not influence the reproducibility of nutritional intake measurement. However, children reported more stable intakes than adults. These results suggest that a 3-day dietary record provides reliable estimates of the intake of almost all nutrients, particularly in children.

Omega 3 effects on sleep and body composition in children with autism spectrum disorder: A randomized placebo-controlled trial
2023, Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Sleep disturbances and disruptions in body composition, encompassing factors like fat mass, and lean body mass are common challenges in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite numerous studies in this field, research has not yet yielded clear and definitive results.
In this randomized clinical trial, we investigated the effects of omega-3 supplementation (360 mg DHA and 720 mg EPA) in comparison to placebo (edible paraffin) on sleep-related factors and body composition in a population of 59 boys aged 7–15 (Mean = 9.9, S.D.= 2.1) on autism spectrum disorder for 8 weeks. The diagnoses of ASD were established by an experienced psychiatrist using the criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
Omega-3 supplementation led to a significant increase in the mean change in sleep duration on 5 non-holiday days by 9.13 min (P = .02; Z = −2.2) and a corresponding decrease in the mean change in Protein percent of the omega-3 group by 1.7 % (p = .03; T = 2.14) compared with the placebo group after the intervention. However, no significant changes were observed in other factors related to sleep. Furthermore, the intervention group exhibited alterations in macronutrient intake in comparison to the placebo group, showing a 3.4 % increase in carbohydrate percentage (p = .07; [−.37 to 7.27]). Despite these changes, no significant differences in body composition measures were noted between the two groups following the intervention.
Omega-3 supplementation improves sleep duration in ASD. Future research should consider larger sample sizes and longer intervention periods to further explore the potential benefits of omega-3 supplementation in improving sleep and body composition outcomes in individuals with ASD.
Eating behaviour traits mediate the association between satiety responsiveness and energy intake among individuals with overweight and obesity
2023, Appetite
Whether eating behaviour traits represent factors that could explain the susceptibility to overeating in individuals with low satiety responsiveness remain to be extensively examined. This study aimed to assess if eating behaviours mediate the association between satiety responsiveness and energy intake. Baseline data from individuals with overweight or obesity (n = 303; age = 38.7 ± 8.4 years; BMI = 33.2 ± 3.4 kg/m², 56% women) who participated in four weight-loss studies were included in this cross-sectional study. Satiety responsiveness was determined by the satiety quotient (SQ) based on fullness sensations in response to a standardized breakfast. Energy intake was self-reported in a three-day food record and measured by an ad libitum buffet meal. Eating behaviours were assessed with questionnaires. Mediation analyses adjusted for age and sex, and for underreporting for the food record, were performed using a regression-based and bootstrapping approach. The association between SQ and self-reported total energy intake was mediated by susceptibility to hunger (β = −2.51 ± 1.26, 95% CI, −5.38 to −0.52) and its subscales, internal and external locus of hunger (β = −2.00 ± 1.10, 95% CI, −4.50 to −0.28 and β = −2.42 ± 1.29, 95% CI, −5.30 to −0.30, respectively). Susceptibility to hunger (β = −2.71 ± 1.13, 95% CI, −5.29 to −0.84), internal and external locus of hunger (β = −1.84 ± 0.95, 95% CI -4.00 to −0.30 and β = −3.42 ± 1.31, 95% CI, −6.39 to −1.24, respectively), cues that may trigger food cravings (β = −5.43 ± 2.91, 95% CI, −11.83 to −0.44) and state-craving as a physiological state (β = −4.31 ± 2.51, 95%CI, −10.14 to −0.44) also mediated the association between SQ and measured energy intake. These results suggest that susceptibility to hunger and food cravings partly explained the susceptibility to overeating among individuals with low satiety responsiveness. Interventions targeting susceptibility to hunger and food cravings may thus be helpful to prevent overeating among these individuals.
Dietary Mediators of the Genetic Susceptibility to Obesity - Results from the Quebec Family Study
2022, Journal of Nutrition
Recent studies showed that eating behaviors such as disinhibition, emotional and external eating, and snacking mediate genetic susceptibility to obesity. It remains unknown if diet quality and intake of specific food groups also mediate the genetic susceptibility to obesity.
This study aimed to assess if diet quality and intakes of specific food groups mediate the association between a polygenic risk score (PRS) for BMI and BMI and waist circumference (WC). We hypothesized that poor diet quality, high intakes of energy-dense food groups, and low intakes of nutrient-dense food groups mediate the genetic susceptibility to obesity.
This cross-sectional study included 750 participants (56.3% women, aged 41.5 ± 14.9 y, BMI 27.8 ± 7.5 kg/m²) from the Quebec Family Study. A PRS_BMI based on >500,000 genetic variants was calculated using LDpred2. Dietary intakes were assessed with a 3-d food record from which a diet quality score (i.e. Nutrient Rich Food Index 6.3) and food groups were derived. Mediation analyses were conducted using a regression-based and bootstrapping approach.
The PRS_BMI explained 25.7% and 19.8% of the variance in BMI and WC, respectively. The association between PRS_BMI and BMI was partly mediated by poor diet quality (β = 0.33 ± 0.12; 95% CI: 0.13, 0.60), high intakes of fat and high-fat foods (β = 0.46 ± 0.16; 95% CI: 0.19, 0.79) and sugar-sweetened beverages (β = 0.25 ± 0.14; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.60), and low intakes of vegetables (β = 0.15 ± 0.08; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.32), fruits (β = 0.37 ± 0.12; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.64), and dairy products (β = 0.17 ± 0.09; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.37). The same trends were observed for WC.
The genetic susceptibility to obesity was partly mediated by poor diet quality and intakes of specific food groups. These results suggest that improvement in diet quality may reduce obesity risk among individuals with high genetic susceptibility and emphasize the need to intervene on diet quality among these individuals.

Protein intake and the incidence of pre-diabetes and diabetes in 4 population-based studies: The PREVIEW project
2019, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Data on the relationship between protein intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes are conflicting.
We studied prospective associations between the intake of total, plant-based, and animal protein and the risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes in 4 population-based studies included in the PREVIEW project.
Analyses were conducted with the use of data from 3 European cohorts and 1 Canadian cohort, including 78,851 participants. Protein intake was assessed through the use of harmonized data from food-frequency questionnaires or 3-d dietary records. Cohort-specific incidence ratios (IRs) were estimated for pre-diabetes and diabetes, adjusting for general characteristics, lifestyle and dietary factors, disease history, and body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference; results were pooled based on a random-effects meta-analysis.
Higher total protein intake (g · kg^–1 · d^–1) was associated with lower incidences of pre-diabetes and diabetes (pooled IRs: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.87 and 0.49; 95% CI: 0.28, 0.83, respectively); plant-based protein intake was the main determinant (pooled IRs: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.81, 0.86 and 0.53; 95% CI: 0.36, 0.76, respectively). Substituting 2 energy percentage (E%) protein at the expense of carbohydrates revealed increased risks of pre-diabetes and diabetes (pooled IRs: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.07 and 1.09; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.18, respectively). Except for the associations between intakes of total protein and plant-based protein (g · kg^–1 · d^–1) and diabetes, all other associations became nonsignificant after adjustment for BMI and waist circumference.
Higher protein intake (g · kg^–1 · d^–1) was associated with a lower risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes. Associations were substantially attenuated after adjustments for BMI and waist circumference, which demonstrates a crucial role for adiposity and may account for previous conflicting findings. This study was registered at ISRCTN as ISRCTN31174892.
High dietary intake of whole milk and full-fat dairy products does not exert hypotensive effects in adults with elevated blood pressure
2019, Nutrition Research
Citation Excerpt :
A minimal 12-hour fasting concentration of whole blood glucose and insulin was used to assess changes in insulin resistance using homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) [20]. Under the supervision of a registered dietitian, self-administered 3-day dietary recall forms were used to capture the subjects' diet, including dairy intake, at baseline and during the study conditions [21]. A 3-day dietary recall form was also collected during the washout period to ensure participants returned to their normal dietary patterns.
Regular consumption of low- and nonfat dairy products reduces blood pressure (BP) in adults with elevated BP. Currently, it is unknown if conventional full-fat dairy products exert similar hypotensive effects. We hypothesized that adding full-fat dairy products to the normal routine diet would reduce seated office and ambulatory BP (primary outcome) in adults with elevated BP when compared with a no dairy control. Using a randomized controlled crossover design, 60 adults with elevated systolic BP (systolic/diastolic BP: 120-159/<99 mm Hg) participated in a 4-week high-dairy (4 servings a day of full-fat dairy products + regular diet) and a 4-week no-dairy condition (plant-based food items + regular diet) separated by a 2-week washout period. Data were analyzed based on time, condition, and sex. Seated office systolic BP did not change significantly in either condition. There were no changes in systolic BP in male or female participants across either dietary period. Ambulatory (24-hour) systolic BP did not change significantly in the high-dairy (133 ± 2 vs 131 ± 1 mm Hg) or no-dairy conditions (132 ± 2 vs 131 ± 1 mm Hg). No significant changes were observed for diastolic BP or pulse pressure during condition for office or ambulatory measures. The solitary addition of full-fat dairy products to the normal routine diet does not exert hypotensive effects in adults with elevated BP when compared to the no-dairy control.
