Comparisons of physical activity, adipokines, vitamin D status and dietary vitamin D intake among adolescents
ConclusionsLow PAL was associated with a lower A/L ratio. Vitamin D status was not associated with sun exposure habits, although it was positively correlated with vitamin D intake. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

An evaluation of diabetes targeted apps for Android smartphone in relation to behaviour change techniques
Conclusions‘Diabetes apps’ include few functions or BCTs compared to the maximum score possible. Apps with optimum BCTs could indicate higher quality. App developers should consider including both specific functions and BCTs in ‘diabetes apps’ to make them more helpful. More research is needed to understand the components of an effective app for people with diabetes. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

ConclusionsEating in a seated position when in hospital has been shown to improve intake. The present study demonstrates that eating in a seated posture is also advantageous for opening the food and beverage packs used in the NSW hospital food service and supports the notion that patients should sit to eat in hospital.

Body composition assessed by dual ‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry predicts early infectious complications after liver transplantation
ConclusionsThe prevalence of malnutrition depends on assessment method. FFMI is an independent predictor for early post‐transplant infections. Body composition measured by DXA during the pretransplant evaluation provides valuable information about nutritional status in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Adherence to the Healthy Eating Index and Alternative Healthy Eating Index dietary patterns and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease and cancer: a meta ‐analysis of observational studies
ConclusionsThe present study indicates that high adherence to HEI and AHEI dietary patterns, indicating high diet quality, are associated with reduced risk of all‐cause mortality (as well as cardiovascular mortality and cancer mortality). (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Body composition of obese adolescents: association between adiposity indicators and cardiometabolic risk factors
ConclusionsAnthropometric measures of adiposity, such a body mass index, waist‐to‐stature ratio, arm circumference and waist circumference,should be considered in the clinical evaluation of obese adolescents. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Polymorphism of neuropeptide Y gene rs16147 modifies the response to a hypocaloric diet on cardiovascular risk biomarkers and adipokines
ConclusionsWe found that the rs164147 genotype affected the reduction of waist circumference, HOMA‐IR, insulin, CRP and IL‐6 levels in response to weight loss diet in obese subjects. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Adding glucose to food and solutions to enhance fructose absorption is not effective in preventing fructose ‐induced functional gastrointestinal symptoms: randomised controlled trials in patients with fructose malabsorption
ConclusionsThe absence of a favourable response on symptoms does not support the concomitant intake of glucose with foods high in either fructose or fructans in patients with functional bowel disorders. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)

Waist ‐to‐height ratio is independently related to whole and central body fat, regardless of the waist circumference measurement protocol, in non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease patients
ConclusionsWaist‐to‐height ratio was found a suitable BF marker in the present sample of NAFLD patients and the strength of the relationship between WHtR and both whole and central BF was not altered by using different WCmp in the present sample of NAFLD patients.

Green tea extract and catechol ‐O‐methyltransferase genotype modify the post‐prandial serum insulin response in a randomised trial of overweight and obese post‐menopausal women
ConclusionsGTE supplementation and COMT genotype did not alter acute post‐prandial responses of leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin or satiety, although it may be involved in post‐meal insulinaemic response of overweight and obese post‐menopausal women. (Source: Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics)
