“…It could be interesting the elaboration of a dietary questionnaire, in conjunction with a nutritionist, to be added to the product in future studies or even, at clinical practice. There is a study that demonstrates good clinical results with the inclusion of a diet questionnaire and the formal participation of a nutritionist in speci c clinical interventions in a higher proportion of gastroenterological patients (Dubin et al 2016).…”

“…We highlighted the responses related to low adherence to treatment: lack of time, expensive drugs that are not compatible with the budget of some patients, forgetting to take medication and lack of family support. The lack of time reported by patients may be associated with limited health literacy about the disease, which leads to a decrease in the patient's self-e cacy and commitment to treatment (Dubin et al 2016). It should be noted that for 20% of the patients showed a lack of understanding of the guidelines given by the physician, like that found by Venkastesh et al (2019).…”

Objective: To propose new approaches to improve patients’ health literacy to the treatment for functional dyspepsia and gastritis. Methods: This is a prospective study with a pre- and post-educational intervention. Patients had their first consultation with the physician and answered the pre-educational intervention questionnaire. Guidance texts and videos were sent to the patients for 3 weeks after the consultation. Finally, patients return to the consultation with the physician and answered to the second questionnaire after the educational intervention. Results: The sample included 50 patients, 35 female patients (70%). The average age was 55.7 years (15.3 SD). In the post-intervention questionnaire, 82% of patients improved their clinical condition with the treatment, 44% recognized that dietary changes are important for symptoms improvement, 98% of patients understood the videos, 74% of patients believe that the educational intervention could be used for other specialties and 90% of patients would recommend this method for other specialties. Conclusion: Patient education is an important strategy for a better understanding of their disease and, possibly, improves adherence to their treatment. Besides that, this study used educational tools through guidance texts and educational videos that can be used in clinical practice. This is an easily, accessible and inexpensive tool for health literacy.

“…Using the 24-hour recalling approach or asking patients or their caregivers to provide their routine dietary intake in diaries are two approaches that have been reported in the literature to help healthcare professionals in their dietary assessments. 24,25 The reference to the daily dietary intake has been adequately established and introduced according to the Institute of Medicine of National Academics within the United States. 26 Moreoner, the targeted age groups in this announcement include 9-18, 3-8 years old, and 0-36 months.…”

Role of counseling in the prevention of childhood obesity

Children tend to gain weight and develop obesity by the age of 9 months old. Therefore, it is essential to apply early interventions as early as this period because childhood obesity does not usually spontaneously resolve by age. Medical counseling with obese children and their caregivers is an essential interventional approach that can enhance the quality of care and the related outcomes. In this literature review, we have discussed the role of professional counseling in the management of pediatric obesity. Healthcare professionals can help caregivers to establish proper dietary intake with specific amounts of calories based on the administered food items per day to maintain healthy dietary habits. Taking care of any associated morbidities should also be considered. For instance, adequate care should be provided for obese children with DM to help them maintain optimal blood glucose levels by using healthy diets, exercising, and taking blood glucose-lowering medications. However, precautions should be considered as these patients might be subjected to hypoglycemic attacks as a result, which might increase their morbidity and mortality. Children and caregivers' education is a critical approach to enhance compliance and increase awareness of the management and interventions. Finally, further efforts should also be directed to the healthcare givers to make them more aware of the benefits of sticking to the guidelines and the importance of counseling in prevention and management.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a bone loss index in postmenopausal women and as a marker of inflammation in coeliac patients. The aims of this work were to evaluate the effect of gluten-free diet (GFD) on NLR retrospectively and study the relationship between NLR and Mediterranean diet adherence and selected food groups (fruits, vegetables, red meat, potatoes, and unrefined and refined cereals). Adult individuals (n=50), who had been on a strict GFD by at least 6 months, were recruited. The degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet was calculated with two different scores: the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS-14), assessed through the validated 14-item questionnaire of the PREDIMED study, and the MEDScore (Score-55) proposed by Panagiotakos. The latter includes the consumption of unrefined cereals (UC). High percentages of osteopenia and osteoporosis were found within the recruited subjects, who furnished the reports of bone mineral density (BMD), in particular in postmenopausal (Post-M) women. Recent NLR was higher in subjects with osteoporosis compared to osteopenia and normal BMD. However, retrospective analysis showed both increase and decrease in NLR after GFD, with no significant differences between Marsh grade, anemia, and BMD status. Moreover, premenopausal previous pregnancy (Pre-MPP) and Post-M had higher NLR at diagnosis compared to Men and premenopausal (Pre-M), but higher differences were observed in recent NLR between Pre-MPP and Men only. Chocolate consumption was associated with lower recent NLR, whereas the latter was correlated with Score-55, but not with MDS-14. Moreover, refined cereal consumption was correlated with recent NLR. Although large prospective studies are needed in order to clarify the relationship between UC and NLR in coeliac patients, in this pilot study, we have investigated for the first time the relationship between NLR, dietary habit, and osteoporosis in coeliac disease.
