Hypertensive Response to Exercise in Normotensive Men and Women with Abdominal Obesity: Association with Subclinical Adverse Cardiac Remodeling.

Hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular events. HRE is prevalent among people with excess adiposity. Both obesity and HRE have been individually associated with adverse cardiac remodeling.

Trabecular bone structural units and their cement lines change with age, bone volume fraction, structure, and strength in female human vertebrae.

A lifetime of successive bone remodeling events leads to trabeculae which are composed of a patchwork of bone structural units (BSUs) called hemi-osteons or trabecular packets. Traditionally, only intact surface BSUs have been studied, which are those that have been created most recently. Accordingly, the complex changes in the size and distribution of BSU throughout the trabeculae have been overlooked.

Are dietary changes over eight years in the prospective NutriNet-Santé cohort consistent with the EAT-Lancet reference diet?

Background: The transition toward sustainable dietary patterns, such as the planetary diet proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission, is warranted to optimize health and achieve environmental sustainability.

Objectives: To examine the extent to which the evolution of dietary changes over an 8-y period in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort aligned with the EAT-Lancet diet.

Methods: A sample of 17,187 participants of the prospective NutriNet-Santé study was used.

The role of nutrition-related clinical trials in informing dietary recommendations for health and treatment of diseases.

Dietary guidance is based on a robust evidence base that includes high-quality clinical trials, of which some have been designed to establish causal relationships between dietary interventions and ASCVD risk reduction. However, the complexity associated with conducting these trials has resulted in criticism of nutrition and dietary recommendations because the strength and quality of evidence falls short of that for some pharmaceutical interventions. In this paper, we aim to promote greater awareness of the nutrition-related clinical trials that have been conducted showing ASCVD benefits and how this evidence has contributed to dietary recommendations.

Local food procurement behavior and overall diet quality among adults in Québec: results from the NutriQuébec project.

Background: Consumption of locally produced foods is generally perceived as being part of a healthy dietary pattern. Accordingly, in 2020, the provincial government of Québec (Canada) promoted the purchase of local foods for economic and health benefits. The present cross-sectional study aimed to document the association between the behavior of local food procurement and overall diet quality in a sample of adults from the province of Québec.
