The data suggest that folate and B12 levels could be markers for clinical characteristics and associated metabolic risk in patients with CD. Our study highlighted associations that may justify the importance of nutritional follow-up and biochemical assessments in the clinical routine of patients with CD.

Among patients with IBD, pro-inflammatory dietary patterns and excess adiposity are highly prevalent. Despite greater central adiposity in patients in remission, no significant associations were found between DII or EDII scores and endoscopic and radiological markers of disease activity.

FA symptoms are associated with an increase in ultra-processed food consumption and a decrease in healthy food consumption among children from low-income families.

Findings underscore the importance of early screening for family history of diabetes, excessive gestational weight gain (GWG), stress, and elevated mean arterial pressure (MAP) to target to identify women at risk of IGT and GDM. Trimester-specific dietary strategies, such as reducing overconsumption of burghul and legumes in early pregnancy and promoting vegetable intake later, may help improve m…

Breakfast and snacks made the largest contribution to free sugar intake among adolescents in the study after accounting for variation in energy intake across mealtimes. Free sugar intake was higher outside than inside school. Efforts to reduce free sugar intake in adolescents should focus on breakfast and snack food and drink items, and high sugar items available outside of school.

The widespread use of unvalidated FFQ variables and the broad variability in validation quality raise concerns about the reliability of substitution modelling outcomes. Given the role of these studies in informing dietary guidelines, consistent validation protocols and improved reporting standards are urgently needed.
