The nationwide Dietary Intake after Diagnosis and Colorectal Cancer Outcomes (PLCRC-PROTECT) cohort: Study design, clinical characteristics and baseline health behaviors.

Purpose: The nationwide Dietary Intake After Diagnosis and Colorectal Cancer Outcomes (PROTECT) study is a prospective cohort study investigating how lifestyle-related factors including dietary intake and physical activity are associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), recurrence, and survival after a colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis.

Methods: Patients participating in the Prospective Dutch Colorectal Cancer (PLCRC) cohort with newly diagnosed stage I to IV colorectal cancer were recruited for PROTECT shortly after diagnosis, between 2015 and 2022. While patient-reported quality of life, physical activity, and sedentary behavior, as well as body composition data are available from PLCRC, patient-reported measurements in PROTECT included anthropometrics, dietary intake, dietary supplement use, and taste and smell alterations.

An observational cohort of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases or pseudomyxoma peritonei treated with CRS-HIPEC: Development and first results of the Dutch CRS-HIPEC quality registry.

Introduction: To improve care for patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRC-PM) or pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), the Dutch CRS-HIPEC quality registry was initiated in 2019. The aims are to describe the development and content of this registry and to give insight into the data collected during the first years.

Materials And Methods: The registry is an observational cohort in the Netherlands.

Trends in incidence, treatment, and relative survival of colorectal cancer in the Netherlands between 2000 and 2021.

Background: The epidemiology of colorectal cancer (CRC) has changed rapidly over the years. The aim of this study was to assess the trends in incidence, treatment, and relative survival (RS) of patients diagnosed with CRC in the Netherlands between 2000 and 2021.

Patients And Methods: 2 75667 patients diagnosed with CRC between 2000 and 2021 were included from the Netherlands Cancer Registry.

Limited impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on colorectal cancer care in the Netherlands in 2020.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the health services worldwide. We aimed to investigate the impact of the pandemic on colorectal cancer (CRC) care in the Netherlands in 2020.

Methods: CRC patients, diagnosed in 2018-2020 in the Netherlands, were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR).

Maternal dietary patterns are associated with human milk composition in Chinese lactating women.

Objectives: Dietary patterns are a useful tool to study the impact of overall maternal diet on human milk (HM) composition beyond single foods or nutrients. The present study aimed to identify dietary patterns among Chinese lactating women and assess their associations with HM macronutrient composition.

Methods: Dietary intake data and HM samples were collected from 122 Chinese mothers at three to five study visits during the first 52 d postpartum.

Dietary patterns and mental health after myocardial infarction.

Background: Diet has been associated with better mental health in general populations, but less is known on this association in patients with a history of coronary heart disease. The objective of this study is to examine the cross-sectional associations between dietary patterns and mental health in elderly patients with a history of myocardial infarction.

Methods: Data were drawn from the final assessment of the Alpha Omega cohort that monitored patients with a history of myocardial infarction (age range 60-80 years).

Size and shape of the associations of glucose, HbA, insulin and HOMA-IR with incident type 2 diabetes: the Hoorn Study.

Aims/hypothesis: Glycaemic markers and fasting insulin are frequently measured outcomes of intervention studies. To extrapolate accurately the impact of interventions on the risk of diabetes incidence, we investigated the size and shape of the associations of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h post-load glucose (2hPG), HbA, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: The study population included 1349 participants aged 50-75 years without diabetes at baseline (1989) from a population-based cohort in Hoorn, the Netherlands.

Healthy eating and lower mortality risk in a large cohort of cardiac patients who received state-of-the-art drug treatment.

Background: Little is known about dietary scores and mortality risk in cardiac patients who are well treated with drugs with attendant relatively low risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Objective: We assessed whether healthy eating lowers the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality in cardiac patients.

Design: We included 4307 patients from the Alpha Omega Trial aged 60-80 y with a clinically diagnosed myocardial infarction and monitored mortality for 10 y.

Dietary patterns are associated with plasma F₂-isoprostanes in an observational cohort study of adults.

Associations between individual foods or nutrients and oxidative markers have been reported. Comprehensive measures of food intake may be uniquely informative, given the complexity of oxidative systems and the possibility of antioxidant synergies. We quantified associations over a 20-year history between three food-based dietary patterns (summary measures of whole diet) and a plasma biomarker of lipid peroxidation, F2-isoprostanes, in a cohort of Americans ages 18-30 at year 0 (1985-1986).

Longitudinal trends in diet and effects of sex, race, and education on dietary quality score change: the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study.

Background: The food supply and dietary preferences have changed in recent decades.

Objective: We studied time- and age-related individual and population-wide changes in a dietary quality score and food groups during 1985-2006.

Design: The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study of 5115 black and white men and women [aged 18-30 y at year 0 (1985-1986)] assessed diet at examinations at study years 0, 7 (1992-1993), and 20 (2005-2006).
