Prevalence of sarcopenia in systemic sclerosis: assessing body composition and functional disability in patients with systemic sclerosis
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease which manifests as an inflammatory and multiorgan fibrotic disease [1]. Sarcopenia is defined as age-associated loss of muscle mass, strength, and function [2]. Its prevalence is estimated at up to 13% in over-60 y olds [3] and increases with age [3,4]. Sarcopenia has a profound impact on risk of falls, disability, and mortality [5,6]. Previous studies have shown a correlation between malnutrition [7] and lack of moderate physical activity [8] with sarcopenia. (Source: Nutrition)

Nutritional assessment and associated factors in the elderly: apopulation-based cross-sectional study
One of the greatest challenges for most countries over the coming decades is the demographic phenomenon of the aging population. This change affects all aspects of modern life, such as health care, accessibility, social security matters, and the family structure itself. The challenges in the health field are vast and should be conducted within the concepts of a multiprofessional approach. Therefore, the nutritional status assessment is an important tool, considering that health maintenance in different life stages is significantly influenced by diet habits [1]. (Source: Nutrition)

ω-3 and folic acid act against depressive-like behavior and oxidative damage in the brain of rats subjected to early- or late-life stress
Stressful life situations, including childhood maltreatment, maternal deprivation (MD), or environmental stressors are significant risk factors for personality disorder, psychosis, substance abuse, cardiovascular diseases, and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, cognitive impairment, behavioral dysregulation, and major depressive disorder (MDD) [1 –3].

Omega-3 and folic acid act against depressive-like behavior and oxidative damage in the brain of rats subjected to early or late life stress
• Folic acid prevents depressive behavior induced by early and late stress.• Omega-3 prevents depressive behavior induced by early stress.• Folic acid and omega-3 prevent oxidative damage induced by stress.• Folic acid and omega-3 increase antioxidants enzymes in stressed rats. (Source: Nutrition)

Dietary diversity and anthropometric status and failure among infants and young children in Sri Lanka
• Anthropometric failure remains in Sri Lanka among infants and young children.• Dietary diversity was associated with growth among children aged 24-to-59 months.• Mixed associations for ages 6 to 12 months, and none for ages 12 to 24 months.• Low birthweight and household wealth predict ant hropometric failure.• Nutrition + distal interventions are needed to improve child growth in Sri Lanka.
