Background/objectives: This study aimed to assess the current mean daily intake of 10 food groups, analyze the sociodemographic factors associated with food consumption, and determine the associations between food consumption/dietary intake and the prevalence rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and hypertension (HTN) in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Subjects/methods: A total of 600 participants aged 20-85 yrs were included in this cross-sectional study. Food consumption and dietary habits were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. To determine the association between food consumption/dietary habits and the abovementioned diseases, logistic regression analysis was performed.
Results: The average vegetable and fruit intake was lower, while sugar and salt consumption were higher than that recommended by Indonesia's national dietary guidelines. A high intake of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) was associated with young age, men, "single" status, a high education level, and employment with a high monthly income. Obesity and T2D were positively correlated with high intakes of cereals and tubers, UPFs, sugars, fats, and oils. Conversely, an inverse association was found between legume, vegetable, and fruit consumption and obesity risk. An inverse correlation was also observed between vegetable consumption and T2D risk. Moreover, a high salt intake was inversely correlated with fruit consumption in terms of HTN risk. Non-indulgence in habitual late-night snacking and refrainment from consuming more than one dish at each meal were also negatively related to the prevalence of obesity, T2D, and HTN. Inverse correlations were also observed between the prevalence rates of T2D and HTN and abstaining from adding sugar to beverages.
Conclusion: Foods high in fat, sugar, and sodium were strongly associated with the risks of obesity, T2D, and HTN. Additionally, poor eating habits were also associated with disease development.

Unlabelled: Adolescence is a critical period for establishing lifelong health behaviors; yet in Lebanon, limited data exist on the prevalence of risk factors among this demographic.
Objective: This study aims to assess alcohol consumption, dietary habits, physical activity, mental health, and smoking behaviors among Lebanese adolescents aged 13-17 years, with a focus on gender and school-type differences.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted in Lebanon between March and July 2022 using the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) questionnaire.

Background: DNA methylation (DNAm) has unique properties which makes it a potential biomarker for lifestyle-related exposures. Epigenetic clocks, particularly DNAm-based biological age predictors [epigenetic age (EA)], represent an exciting new area of clinical research and deviations of EA from chronological age [epigenetic age acceleration (EAA)] have been linked to overall health, age-related diseases, and environmental exposures.
Objectives: This observational study investigates the relationships between biological aging and various dietary factors within the LifeLines-DEEP Cohort.

Background/objectives: The association between egg consumption and dementia is unclear. We carried out a population-based case-control study in China to determine the independent association of egg consumption with dementia.
Methods: We randomly recruited 233 participants with dementia and 233 without dementia from the community health service clinics and the dementia management system in Guangzhou, China to examine their dietary intakes over the past two years and other risk factors for chronic diseases.

Article Synopsis
- * Findings reveal that individuals carrying the rs10830963-G and rs1387153-T alleles have a significantly higher risk of IS, with each additional allele increasing risk by 36% and 32% respectively.
- * Importantly, the study shows that adopting a healthier lifestyle can reduce the impact of these genetic risk factors, suggesting that a better lifestyle score leads to a decreased association between the gene variants and IS risk.
