Background And Objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a worldwide public health problem. Current evidence on the association between dietary iron intake and the risk of NAFLD is limited. The present study aimed to investigate the associations of animal-derived dietary iron (ADDI) intake, plant-derived dietary iron (PDDI) intake, and the ratio of PDDI:ADDI with NAFLD risk among U.S. adult population.

Methods And Study Design: This was a repeated cross-sectional study. Data were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018. NAFLD was defined as a United States Fatty Lives Index ≥30, and dietary iron intake was assessed through two 24-h dietary recall in-terviews. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were applied to examine the associations between dietary iron intake from different sources and NAFLD risk.

Results: A total of 9478 participants aged ≥20 years were enrolled in the present study. After adjustment for multiple confounding factors, relative to the lowest quartile, the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of NAFLD for the highest quartile was 1.01(95% CI, 0.82-1.24) for ADDI intake, 0.82 (95% CI, 0.64-0.99) for PDDI intake, and 1.00 (95% CI, 0.81-1.24) for the PDDI: ADDI intake ratio. In stratified analysis by sex and age, the significantly negative associations of PDDI intake with NAFLD was observed in women and participants older than 45 years. Dose-response analyses indicated that NAFLD was negatively associated with PDDI intake in a non-linear manner.

Conclusions: PDDI intake was negatively associated with NAFLD in U.S. adults.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the dietary and health-related quality of life of young adults according to their household income and food security status.

Methods: To conduct this study, 10,224 young adults aged 19-34 years who participated in the 2008-2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were selected. Subjects were categorized into four groups based on household income and food security: 'food secure and high income,' 'food insecure and high income,' 'food secure and low income,' and 'food insecure and low income'.

Ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a critical area of research for cancer therapy. This review delves into the intricate relationship between lipid metabolism and ferroptosis, emphasizing the impact of lipidome remodeling on cancer cell susceptibility. We explore key mechanisms, such as the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids and phosphatidylethanolamines in ferroptosis induction, alongside the protective effects of monounsaturated fatty acids and their regulatory enzymes.

Article Synopsis
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients show significantly higher concentrations of heavy metals like arsenic, nickel, manganese, and zinc in their stool compared to healthy individuals, while levels of iron, lead, titanium, and tin are notably lower.
  • The study also reveals alterations in the gut microbiome of MS patients, with increased abundance of certain bacterial families indicative of potential changes associated with the disease.
  • The research highlights a novel approach by combining heavy metal measurement and gut microbiome analysis, suggesting new insights into the disease's pathogenesis and possible therapeutic strategies.

Some yellow-colored market classes of dry bean ( L.) are valued by consumers as an easy-to-digest, fast cooking alternative to darker colored red and black beans, which in comparison generally have longer cooking times and reduced iron bioavailability. There is evidence that the cooking time of yellow beans is linked to the dietary fiber content and may also contribute to nutrient digestibility and bioavailability.
