Lifestyle change reduces cardiometabolic risk factors and glucagon ‐like peptide‐1 levels in obese first‐degree relatives of people with diabetes
ConclusionsAn evidence‐based lifestyle programme achieved sustained weight loss in obese first‐degree relatives of individuals with type 2 diabetes associated with improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors and QoL without the ‘voltage drop’ of less benefit commonly seen when moving from the clinical trial experience into the real world.

Trends in dietary intake among adults with type 2 diabetes: NHANES 1988 –2012
ConclusionsFuture data are needed to confirm a plateau in energy intake among adults with diabetes, although the opportunity exists to increase fibre and reduce saturated fat. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Could habits hold the key to weight loss maintenance? A narrative review
Abstract Despite the significance placed on lifestyle interventions for obesity management, most weight loss is followed by weight regain. Psychological concepts of habitual behaviour and automaticity have been suggested as plausible explanations for this overwhelming lack of long‐term weight loss success. Interventions that focus on changing an individual's behaviour are not usually successful at changing an individual's habits because they do not incorporate the strategies required to break unhealthy habits and/or form new healthy habits. A narrative review was conducted and describes the theory behind habit formation ...

Effect of magnesium supplementation on type 2 diabetes associated cardiovascular risk factors: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsMagnesium supplementation can produce a favourable effect on FPG, HDL, LDL, TG and SBP. Therefore, magnesium supplementation may decrease the risk T2D associated cardiovascular diseases, although future large RCTs are needed for making robust guidelines for clinical practice.

Impact of a targeted direct marketing price promotion intervention (Buywell) on food ‐purchasing behaviour by low income consumers: a randomised controlled trial
ConclusionsShort‐term direct marketing price promotions combined with healthy eating advice and recipe suggestions targeted at low income consumers are feasible and can have a modest impact on short‐term food‐purchasing behaviour, although further approaches are needed to help sustain these changes.

Using data mining to predict success in a weight loss trial
ConclusionsData mining methods can provide a more accurate way of assessing relationships when conventional assumptions are not met. In the present study, a decision tree provided the most parsimonious model. Given that early weight loss cannot be predicted before randomisation, incorporating this information into a post randomisation trial design may give better weight loss results.

Nutrient intakes and compliance with nutrient recommendations in children aged 1 –4 years in Ireland
ConclusionsFurther research is needed to identify dietary strategies that improve the quality of the diet in young children, particularly in relation to excess of saturated fat, free sugars and salt, as well as inadequacy of iron, vitamin D and LCPUFA.

Factors associated with universal infant free school meal take up and refusal in a multicultural urban community
ConclusionsParents like to have control over what their child eats at school and children need to enjoy their school meals. Using a range of interventions to target subsets of parents may help local authorities, schools and caterers to increase UIFSM take up. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Patient ‐centred care to improve dietetic practice: an integrative review
ConclusionsIt is apparent that dietitians require good communication skills and humanistic qualities to build positive relationships with patients. Patients strongly desire individualised nutrition care and greater involvement in care. Ensuring dietitians are able to incorporate patient‐centred practises during care requires further research.

A novel processed food classification system applied to Australian food composition databases

Socio ‐economic determinants of vitamin A intake in children under 5 years of age: evidence from Pakistan
ConclusionsFrom the results of the present study, we conclude that socio‐demographic factors were influential on vitamin A supplementation in children aged less than 5 years. Therefore, national and community‐level efforts to support younger mothers in urban areas in the regions with the lowest coverage are needed to increase the acceptance of vitamin A supplementation, aiming to improve the nutritional status of children and decrease inequity in health.

The use of smartphone health apps and other mobile health (mHealth) technologies in dietetic practice: a three country study
ConclusionsAlthough the reported use of smartphone health apps in dietetic practice is high, health apps and other mHealth technologies are not currently being used for behaviour change, nor are they an integral part of the nutrition care process. Dietetic associations should provide training, education and advocacy to enable the profession to more effectively engage with and implement apps into their practice.

Dietary and nutrition interventions for the therapeutic treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis: a systematic review
ConclusionsThis review identified insufficient evidence for the use of nutritional supplements and elimination or modified diets to relieve CFS/ME symptoms. Studies were limited by the number of studies investigating the interventions, small sample sizes, study duration, variety of instruments used, and studies not reporting dietary intake method. Further research is warranted in homogeneous CFS/ME populations. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Glycomacropeptide in children with phenylketonuria: does its phenylalanine content affect blood phenylalanine control?
ConclusionsIn the control group, there was a nonsignificant fall in phenylalanine concentrations (pre‐study, 325 μmol L−1; study, 280 μmol L−1; P = 0.9) and no significant changes for tyrosine or Phe : Tyr ratios (P = 0.9). Children taking the CGMP‐AA found it more acceptable to L‐AA. Blood phenylalanine control declined with CGMP‐AA but, by titrating the dose of CGMP‐AA, blood phenylalanine control remained within target range. The additional intake of phenylalanine may have contributed to the change in blood phenylalanine concentration. CGMP‐AA use requires careful monitoring in children. (Source: Journ...
