The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend adults increase their intake of nutrients that are under-consumed while limiting their intake of added sugars, sodium, and saturated fats. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between added sugars intake from specific types of beverages with added sugars (soft drinks, fruit drinks, sports and energy drinks, coffee and tea, and flavored milk) and nutrient adequacy among US adults (19+ y). Data from eight consecutive 2-y cycles of NHANES were combined (2003-2004 through 2017-2018), and regression analysis was conducted to test for trends in quantiles of added sugars intake from each beverage source and the rest of the diet (excluding those beverages) and nutrient adequacy. Results revealed significant associations that varied in direction according to the added sugars source, negative for some (i.e., soft drinks) in terms of greater percentages of adults not meeting a defined threshold of nutrient adequacy with higher added sugars intakes, and positive for others (i.e., fruit drinks, flavored milk, the rest of the diet) in terms of lower percentages of adults not meeting nutrient thresholds. In conclusion, the contribution of different added sugars sources to nutrient intakes is a critical consideration in developing population-based dietary recommendations.

Objective: To describe the dietary diversity and micronutrients adequacy among women of reproductive age during 2015-2017 in China.
Methods: Data was from the China Nutrition and Health Surveillance in 2015-2017. Stratified multistage cluster sampling method was used, and 17622 women aged 15-49 years from 31 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities) were involved.

Backgrounds: Bing eating disorder (BED) has been associated with a number of health problems. Remarkably little research has been done to measure dietary intake in people who suffer from binge eating disorder. This study aimed to compare the dietary intake and nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) between BED individuals and those without BED and also to investigate the association between BED and NAR.

With advancing age, achievement of dietary adequacy for all nutrients is increasingly difficult and this is particularly so for minerals. Various factors impede mineral acquisition and absorption including reduced appetite, depressed gastric acid production and dysregulation across a range of signalling pathways in the intestinal mucosa. Minerals are required in sufficient levels since they are critical for the proper functioning of metabolic processes in cells and tissues, including energy metabolism, DNA and protein synthesis, immune function, mobility, and skeletal integrity.

Background: Disease-related malnutrition, with or without inflammation, in older adults is currently emerging as a public health priority. The use of Foods for Special Medical Purposes, including Oral Nutritional Supplements, and supplements is crucial to support patients in achieving their nutritional needs. Therefore, this article aims to comprehensively provide an analysis of the adequacy of FSMPs in meeting the nutritional requirements of different age-related diseases and takes into account the emerging role of inflammation.

Background And Aim: Cereals' iron content is a major contributor to dietary iron intake in Europe and a potential for biofortification. A simulation of daily iron intake from wheat and rice over the next 20 years will be quantified.
Methods: Food items, and energy and iron intake by age classes are estimated using the Italian dietary survey (IV SCAI).
