Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between whole milk intake and body weight measures in adults, hypothesizing that higher whole milk consumption would correlate with lower body weight.
- Analyzing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001-2018) involving over 43,000 adults, researchers found that whole milk intake was significantly associated with lower weights, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference.
- The findings suggest that consuming whole milk might help reduce obesity prevalence and support dietary recommendations favoring whole milk intake, despite limited associations with milk consumption during earlier life stages.
Background: Milk provides essential crucial public health nutrients, including 3-4 nutrients of public health concern, yet dairy consumption has declined over time, leading most Americans to fall short of meeting Dietary Guidelines recommendations.
Objectives: To investigate milk and beverage consumption trends in preschool-age children, along with nutrient intakes from beverages, and to analyze the potential impact of replacing nondairy beverages with milk through isocaloric substitution.
Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2018 for children aged 1-5 y ( = 4696) were used, and milk and other beverages intakes were estimated from the first 24-h in-person dietary recall.
Background: The relationships between habitual essential amino acid (EAA) intake and body composition, muscle strength, and physical function in older US adults are not well defined.
Objectives: This cross-sectional study evaluated associations between usual EAA intakes and body composition, muscle strength, and physical function in US adults ≥65 y.
Methods: The Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) 2001-2018 was linked to the US Department of Agriculture Standard Reference database to access existing amino acid composition data for FNDDS ingredients.
Background: Current guidelines for the treatment of obesity recommend dietary restriction to create a caloric deficit, and caloric reductions of 16% to 68% have been achieved in adults with overweight or obesity engaging in intentional weight loss programs.
Objectives: This study models the impact of simulated caloric reduction on nutrient adequacy among U.S.
Beef is an important source of high-quality protein and several micronutrients, including iron, zinc, and B vitamins. We determined beef intake and its relationship with intakes of nutrients and their adequacy using 24 h dietary recall data from 5868 older adults. Usual intakes from foods were determined using the National Cancer Institute method, and the percent of the population below the estimated average requirement or above adequate intake was estimated.
