Background & Aims: Dietary pattern is a comprehensive assessment of diet that may reflect the interrelationships between foods. Analysis on actual dietary pattern and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk are insufficient. This study examined the prospective association between empirically identified dietary patterns and MetS risk in adults aged 40 years or older.
Methods: A total of 11,305 participants (58,318 person-years) without MetS were followed. Predefined 37 food/food groups from the 106-item food frequency questionnaire were used in factor analysis to identify dietary patterns. Subsequently, we conducted a hierarchical clustering analysis of group participants based on their dietary pattern scores. Incidence rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using a modified Poisson regression model with a robust error estimator.
Results: We identified three similar, but not identical, dietary patterns in men and women separately. The "vegetables/seaweeds" and "meat/poultry/seafood" patterns and MetS risk were associated differently between men and women; in men, the association with MetS risk was inverse for "vegetables/seaweeds" but U-shaped in the "meat/poultry/seafood" pattern, whereas it was positive and inverse in women, respectively. The "non-traditional/non-staple foods" pattern was inversely associated in both men and women. Three and four clusters of the three dietary patterns were observed in men and women, respectively. A cluster in women with a high "vegetables/seaweeds" score (cluster 2) showed higher incidence rate ratios of MetS compared with all other clusters.
Conclusions: In the present study, the "non-traditional/non-staple foods" dietary pattern is possibly beneficial in the development of MetS in both men and women, while the "vegetables/seaweeds" pattern, if their sodium amount is not controlled, may be harmful in the development of MetS among women.

Introduction: Migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder characterized by recurrent throbbing, moderate-to-severe headaches that disrupt daily chores, leisure, and social activities of patients, impacting their overall quality of life (QoL). Despite the high disease burden, there is a scarcity of data on migraines within the Middle East (ME) region. Thus, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to examine epidemiological data, treatment patterns, QoL, and unmet needs regarding migraines in the ME region.

Beverages formulated from alternative proteins, such as amaranth, are gaining attraction due to changes in human dietary patterns and environmental concerns like resource use and biodiversity loss. This study focuses on assessing the bioactive peptide release from an amaranth protein beverage. This beverage was subjected to a static simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGD) protocol to evaluate its bioaccessibility and functional potential.

Patterns of phytochemistry localisation in plant tissues are diverse within and across leaves. These spatial heterogeneities are important to the fitness of herbivores, but their effects on herbivore foraging and dietary experience remain elusive. We manipulated the spatial variance and clusteredness of a plant toxin in a synthetic diet landscape on which individual caterpillars fed.

Background: Previous research in adults has suggested that healthy dietary patterns could be an effective strategy for blood pressure (BP) control. However, during adolescence, the scientific literature examining this relationship is scarce and controversial since inverse and null associations have been reported. Thus, the aim of our study was to analyze the relationship between the level of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables at baseline with changes in BP over a two-year period during adolescence.
