Food texture and the satiety cascade
Abstract
Using the satiety cascade model as a framework, this paper describes how food texture can influence the strength and duration of sensory, cognitive and post‐ingestive signals that determine when a meal ends (satiation) and the inhibition of appetite between meals (satiety). The influence of food texture on oro‐sensory exposure time, expectations about the satiating effect of a food and processing of food in the gastrointestinal system is considered, as well how the interaction of these processes may impact on the overall experience of satiety. This body of work suggests that texture is one element of a food's ...

Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology – nutritional epidemiology (STROBE‐nut): An extension of the STROBE statement
Abstract
Concerns have been raised about the quality of reporting in nutritional epidemiology. Research reporting guidelines such as the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement can improve quality of reporting in observational studies. Herein, we propose recommendations for reporting nutritional epidemiology and dietary assessment research by extending the STROBE statement into Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology – Nutritional Epidemiology (STROBE‐nut). Recommendations for the reporting of nutritional epidemiology and dietary assessment re...

New CIMDER measuring tapes for screening nutritional status in children less than 5 years of age
In this study, new CIMDER tapes were developed to assess severe and moderate malnutrition, mild malnutrition and, for the first time using the MUAC method, overweight in children aged less than 5 years, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) MUAC (2006) reference standards. The tapes were developed for boys and girls and specified for four age ranges: 3–6 months, 6.1–18 months, 18.1–36 months and 36.1–60 months. The weight, age and MUAC of 1283 children were assessed to evaluate the accuracy and concordance of the new CIMDER tapes with the WHO weight‐for‐age reference standards. The new CIMDER tapes ...

Protein intake for athletes and active adults: Current concepts and controversies
Abstract
The demands of physical exertion mean that protein requirements for athletes and active adults are now accepted as being greater than sedentary populations and those described by population reference intakes of ~0.8 g protein per kg of body mass per day (g/kg/day). Recent scholarly reviews and the latest guidelines for nutrition and athletic performance from the American College of Sports Medicine suggest intakes ranging from 1.2‐2.0 g/kg/day whether performing aerobic or resistance exercise, with the higher range of intakes appropriate for the latter. Specific situations of hypoenergetic diet or injury likely...

Dietary fibre and the prevention of chronic disease – should health professionals be doing more to raise awareness?
Abstract
The recent report on Carbohydrates and Health by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition concluded that a high fibre intake is associated with reduced risk of a number of significant chronic diseases in the UK, although further studies are needed to fully elucidate the precise mechanisms involved. New recommendations have been set for adults and younger people but dietary surveys suggest that intakes are currently well below these targets, reflecting low consumption of fibre‐containing foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds and high‐fibre/wholegrain starchy foods. A wide number of interrelated ...

The effect of dietary interventions and nutritional supplementation on bone mineral density in otherwise healthy adults with osteopenia: A systematic review
Abstract
There are many health and economic consequences for patients with osteopenia, the precursor to osteoporosis. A range of treatments may provide positive outcomes for otherwise healthy adults, including dietary and exercise approaches, either alone or in combination. The primary aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of dietary approaches (including diet alone, diet with dietary supplements, both with or without physical activity intervention) on bone mineral density (BMD) to treat adults aged ≥18 years who were classified as having osteopenia. Six databases (Ovid MEDLINE including Ovid Medline...
