RESUMO
AIMS: The aim of this prospective study was to examine CVD risk reduction in type 1 diabetes (1) for people with favourable cardiovascular health metrics and (2) by clustering of these metrics. METHODS: Data from 2313 participants from the EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study were analysed. All had type 1 diabetes (51% men, mean ± SD age 32 ± 9 years). Seven cardiovascular health metrics were studied-smoking, BMI, physical activity, a diet score, total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio, combined systolic and diastolic BP and HbA1c-divided into favourable/less favourable categories. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate HRs (95% CIs) of incident CVD for each metric. Clusters were made by scoring each individual by the number of favourable metrics. RESULTS: A total of 163 people developed incident CVD during a mean ± SD follow-up of 7.2 ± 1.3 years. Participants with more favourable HbA1c levels of <57 mmol/mol (<7.4%) had a 37% significantly lower CVD risk than those with a less favourable HbA1c (HR [95% CI] 0.63 [0.44, 0.91]), and participants with a more favourable BP (systolic BP <112 mmHg and diastolic BP <70 mmHg) had a 44% significantly lower CVD risk than participants in the less favourable BP group (HR [95% CI] 0.56 [0.34, 0.92]). There was a dose-response relation with a lower HR observed with greater clustering of more favourable metrics: people with four or more favourable metrics had an HR of 0.37 (95% CI 0.18, 0.76), adjusted for sex and age at diabetes diagnosis, compared with those with no favourable metrics. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Low HbA1c and low BP were protective cardiovascular health metrics in our study of people with type 1 diabetes. Targeting all cardiovascular health metrics could be more effective in preventing CVD than targeting single metrics.

BACKGROUND: Prospective observational data revealed lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence with modeled replacement of saturated fatty acids (SFA) from total meat by total dairy, but it is unknown what the associations are of replacing SFA from types of meat by types of dairy with CVD incidence. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the associations of replacing SFA from total, red, processed, and poultry meat by SFA from total dairy, milk, cheese, and yogurt with the incidence of CVD. METHODS: We analyzed longitudinal data from 21,841 participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Norfolk study (56.4% female; age, 40-79 years). Dietary data were collected by food frequency questionnaires at baseline (1993-1997). Incident fatal or nonfatal CVD (n = 5902), coronary artery disease (CAD; n = 4215), stroke (total: n = 2544; ischemic: n = 1113; hemorrhagic: n = 449) were identified up to 2018. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using Cox regression for the risk associated with replacement of 2.5% of energy from SFA from meat by dairy, adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle, energy, dietary, and cardiometabolic factors. RESULTS: Replacing SFA from total meat by total dairy was associated with a lower CVD incidence (HR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.96) and CAD (HR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.80, 0.96). Replacing SFA from processed meat by cheese was associated with lower CVD (HR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.68, 0.88); CAD (HR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.66, 0.90), and stroke (HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.67, 0.99). Similarly, replacing SFA from red meat by cheese was associated with lower CVD (HR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.76, 0.97). Higher incidence of stroke was found with replacement of SFA from poultry by milk (HR: 2.06; 95% CI: 1.09, 3.89), yogurt (HR: 2.55; 95% CI: 1.27, 5.13), or cheese (HR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.04, 3.70), but the CI were relatively large, owing to low, narrow range of poultry SFA intake. CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicate that different SFA-rich foods at baseline have differential associations with CVD risk. If confirmed by further studies, these findings could be used to inform specific food-based dietary guidance.

Undernutrition, such as stunting and underweight, is a major public health concern, which requires multi-sectoral attention. Diet plays a key role in growth and should optimally supply all required nutrients to support the growth. While millets (defined broadly to include sorghum) are traditional foods, and climate smart nutritious crops, which are grown across Africa and Asia, they have not been mainstreamed like rice, wheat, and maize. Diversifying staples with millets can potentially provide more macro and micro nutrients, compared to the mainstream crops. However, there is little known scientific evidence to prove millets' efficacy on growth. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to collate evidence of the benefits of millets in improving the growth of children. Eight eligible randomized feeding trials were included in the meta-analysis. Results from the randomized effect model showed a significant effect (p < 0.05) of millet-based diets on mean height (+28.2%) (n = 8), weight (n = 9) (+26%), mid upper arm circumference (n = 5) (+39%) and chest circumference (n = 5) (+37%) in comparison to regular rice-based diets over for the period of 3 months to 4.5 years, which was based on largely substituting rice with millets. When an enhanced and diverse diet was served, replacing rice with millet had only minimal growth improvement on chest circumference (p < 0.05). The quality assessment using GRADE shows that the evidence used for this systematic review and meta-analysis had moderate quality, based on eight scoring criteria. These results demonstrate the value of adding millet as the staple for undernourished communities. Further understanding of the efficacy of millets on growth in a wider range of diets is important to develop appropriate dietary programs and improve the nutritional status of various age groups across Africa and Asia.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Higher protein (HP) diets may lead to lower cardiometabolic risk, compared to lower protein (LP) diets. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the effects of HP versus LP diets on cardiometabolic risk factors in adults, using the totality of the current evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS: Systematic searches were conducted in electronic databases, up to November 2020. Random effects meta-analyses were conducted to pool the standardised mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The main outcomes were weight loss, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, fat mass, systolic and diastolic BP, total cholesterol, HDL-and LDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerol, fasting glucose and insulin, and glycated haemoglobin. RESULTS: Fifty-seven articles reporting on 54 RCTs were included, involving 4344 participants (65% female, mean age: 46 (SD 10) years, mean BMI: 33 (SD 3) kg/m2), with a mean study duration of 18 weeks (range: 4 to 156 weeks). Compared to LP diets (range protein (E%):10-23%), HP diets (range protein (E%): 20-45%) led to more weight loss (SMD -0.13, 95% CI: -0.23, -0.03), greater reductions in fat mass (SMD -0.14, 95% CI: -0.24, -0.04), systolic BP (SMD -0.12, 95% CI: -0.21, -0.02), total cholesterol (SMD -0.11, 95% CI: -0.19, -0.02), triacylglycerol (SMD -0.22, 95% CI: -0.30, -0.14) and insulin (SMD -0.12, 95% CI: -0.22, -0.03). No significant differences were observed for the other outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Higher protein diets showed small, but favourable effects on weight loss, fat mass loss, systolic blood pressure, some lipid outcomes and insulin, compared to lower protein diets.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the associations between following of the Dutch dietary guidelines 2015 and elevated depressive and anxiety symptoms in adults with diabetes. METHODS: Cross-sectional data of 3174 people (47% men, mean age 55 ± 14 years) with type 1 diabetes (n = 1369) and type 2 diabetes (n = 1805) participating in Diabetes MILES-The Netherlands were analysed. Following of the Dutch dietary guidelines 2015 was quantified using the Dutch Healthy Diet 2015 (DHD15)-index (12 food components; total score range 0-120 points), calculated from a 32-item food frequency questionnaire. Cases with elevated depressive and anxiety symptoms (cutoff ≥ 10) were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, respectively. Cox regression models were used to estimate the prevalence ratios (PRs) adjusted for demographical, lifestyle related, clinical and biomedical factors. RESULTS: Elevated depressive and anxiety symptoms were present in 167 (12%) and 89 (7%) of participants with type 1 diabetes and 215 (12%) and 97 (5%) of those with type 2 diabetes, respectively. In the total sample (n = 3174), a DHD15-index score in the highest quartile was associated with lower prevalence of elevated depressive symptoms, compared to the lowest quartile with an adjusted PR [95% CI] of 0.73 [0.55-0.98]. The inverse association was more pronounced among participants with type 2 diabetes and among non-smokers. There was no association with elevated anxiety symptoms (adjusted PR [95% CI]: 1.03 [0.68-1.55]). CONCLUSION: Closer following of the Dutch dietary guidelines 2015 was associated with a lower likelihood of elevated depressive symptoms in adults with type 2 diabetes.
