Context: Most methods for assessing dietary intake have considerable measurement error. Dietary biomarkers are objective tools for dietary assessment. Dietary biomarkers of dietary patterns have not been well described, despite modern dietary guidelines endorsing dietary patterns.
Objective: This systematic review sought to describe the dietary biomarkers commonly used to assess dietary patterns, and the novel biomarkers of dietary patterns identified by exploratory studies.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central, PreMEDLINE, and CINAHL databases were searched.
Data Extraction: Data extraction and bias assessment were undertaken in duplicate.
Data Analysis: A qualitative approach was applied, without statistical analysis.
Conclusion: In controlled settings, dietary biomarkers of single nutrients or of individual foods or food groups are commonly used to assess compliance with dietary patterns. However, currently, there are no dietary biomarkers or biomarker profiles that are able to identify the specific dietary pattern that has been consumed by an individual. Future work should seek to validate novel dietary biomarkers and biomarker profiles that are indicative of specific dietary patterns and their characteristics. A dietary biomarker panel consisting of multiple biomarkers is almost certainly necessary to capture the complexity of dietary patterns.
Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO registration no. CRD42019129839.

Objective: Outcomes for low-weight restrictive eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, restricting type (AN-R) and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), are sub-optimal. Reducing dietary restriction is a key treatment target. Understanding heterogeneity in patterns of change in dietary restriction may aid in improving outcomes.

Maize is a cornerstone of global agriculture, essential for food security, livestock feed, and industrial uses. With the increasing demand for maize due to population growth and changing dietary patterns, there is a pressing need to enhance maize production. Hybridization is a strategic approach for developing high-yielding and stress-tolerant maize varieties and evaluating these hybrids in specific environmental conditions is vital for optimizing yield and adaptability.

Over the last decades, eating habits have shifted towards convenient foods with shorter preparation times due to people's busy lifestyles and higher living standards. Rapid changes in dietary patterns and lifestyles with the industrialization and globalisation have led to the escalating incidence of chronic diseases, which has paved the way to greater interest in dietary changes regarding nutritional status and health benefits. Composite flour is a combination of wheat and non-wheat flours or exclusively non-wheat flour with improved nutritional value, therapeutic properties and functional characteristics.

Background: Understanding the dietary patterns of populations is crucial in addressing chronic health conditions that are influenced by diet and lifestyle. We aimed to identify the dietary patterns among adult Caucasian Canadians and examine their associations with socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors and chronic health conditions.
Methodology: We used two comprehensive national nutrition surveys: Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS)2015 and CCHS Cycle 2.

The incidence of type 2 diabetes has risen globally, in parallel with the obesity epidemic and environments promoting a sedentary lifestyle and low-quality diet. There has been scrutiny of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) as a driver of type 2 diabetes, underscored by their increasing availability and intake worldwide, across countries of all incomes. This narrative review addresses the accumulated evidence from investigations of the trends in UPF consumption and the relationship with type 2 diabetes incidence.
