Climate change threatens humanity's health and well-being. While climate change topics have been increasingly incorporated into undergraduate medical education, it is unclear to what extent they have been incorporated into graduate medical education (GME) curricula in the United States. To examine how climate change has been incorporated into GME curricula in the United States.

Household foodwork is defined as the physical and mental tasks a household does for eating meals and snacks. Because no tools exist to measure it, how much time people spend doing household foodwork and the foodwork barriers they experience remain unknown.

Specifically, this article documents the development and validation of a food literacy measure for young people facing social inequities.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify items to measure 12 attributes of food literacy; test the measure with the identified target groups, considering attribute, face, and content validity, inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability; and refine the measure.
Article Synopsis
- - High consumption of ultra-processed foods and drinks (UPF) is linked to poor diet quality and a greater risk of non-communicable diseases, prompting the need for updated data on UPF intake among different sociodemographic groups in Canada.
- - A study using data from 5,872 adults indicated that, on average, 45.2% of total daily energy came from UPF, with slightly higher consumption in males (49.4%) and younger adults aged 19-30 (50.0%).
- - The findings suggest that UPF consumption is notably high across various sociodemographic groups, underscoring the necessity for public policies aimed at reducing UPF intake in the general population.
Background: The period around pregnancy is a critical window in the primordial prevention of cardiovascular disease, but little is known about the role of dietary patterns in cardiometabolic health. Our objective was to determine the association between alignment of periconceptional diet with the 2020 to 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the risk of metabolic syndrome.
Methods And Results: We used data from the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: monitoring mothers-to-Be Heart Health Study, a pregnancy cohort study that followed pregnant participants to a median of 3 years postpartum (n=4423).
