: Avoidance of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been recommended to achieve a healthy diet, but whether it applies equally to all UPFs is uncertain. We evaluated individual UPF subgroups in the prediction of cardiometabolic and mental health outcomes. : The Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) is an occupational cohort study of 15,105 adults (35-74 years) recruited in 2008-2010.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the definitions of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in predicting diabetes among Brazilian adults.
- Utilizing data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil), researchers analyzed 7,073 participants aged 35-74, focusing on those with ultrasound-confirmed steatosis and cardiometabolic factors.
- Over 9.4 years, both NAFLD and MASLD showed a significant increase in diabetes incidence (78% for NAFLD and 88% for MASLD), with similar results across different race/skin color groups.
Background: Meat consumption could increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, evidence is largely based on studies of European and North American populations, with heterogeneous analysis strategies and a greater focus on red meat than on poultry. We aimed to investigate the associations of unprocessed red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption with type 2 diabetes using data from worldwide cohorts and harmonised analytical approaches.

Our objective was to investigate the association of UPF consumption and specific subgroups with incident type 2 diabetes in Brazilian adults.
Methods: The Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) is a multicenter cohort study of 15,105 adults (35-74 years) enrolled in public institutions in Brazil (2008-2010).
Objective: To investigate the association between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Research Design And Methods: From 2008 to 2010, we enrolled 15,105 adults, aged 35-74 years, who were employees from six public education and research institutions to assemble the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). We used a food frequency questionnaire to assess UPF consumption (measured in grams per day) at baseline.
Background: The consumption of legumes is promoted as part of a healthy diet in many countries but associations of total and types of legume consumption with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are not well established. Analyses across diverse populations are lacking despite the availability of unpublished legume consumption data in prospective cohort studies.
Objective: To examine the prospective associations of total and types of legume intake with the risk of incident T2D.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates glycemic regression among adults with newly diagnosed diabetes and intermediate hyperglycemia, finding that while regression is common, it often appears more favorable than it is when adjusting for regression to the mean (RTM).
- Out of those with newly diagnosed diabetes, 49.4% showed partial or complete regression, but this dropped to 20.2% after accounting for RTM; similar reductions were noted for intermediate hyperglycemia, depending on the definition used.
- Weight loss of at least 2.6% significantly improved chances of regression for both diabetes and intermediate hyperglycemia, highlighting the role of lifestyle changes in managing these conditions over time.
Background: Although low-grade inflammation is associated with onset and persistence of depression, most biomarkers display modest predictive effects. GlycA (glycoprotein acetylation) is a unique metabolomic composite of pro-inflammatory acute-phase glycoproteins. We hypothesized that GlycA levels would predict depression incidence, remission and persistence, with higher accuracy than high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP).

Design: We applied FFQ at baseline and categorized energy intake by degree of processing using the NOVA classification. Height, weight and waist circumference were measured at baseline and after a mean 3·8-year follow-up.
Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegeneration disorder characterized by progressive impairments of memory, language, reasoning, and other cognitive functions. Evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may act as a possible protection factor in AD.
Objective: To evaluate the results available in the literature involving omega-3 fatty acids supplementation and its effect on cognitive function in AD patients.
