“…Although food intake studies have limitations, such as memory bias, classification, and quantification, and because the present study is cross-sectional, thereby preventing: the establishment of causal relationships; the contemplation of the temporal sequence of exposure and effect; and the subjectivity associated with factor analysis and the number of study factors 9,19 ; the results confirm that socioeconomic conditions determine dietary patterns 15,18,25 .…”

“…In Western Australia, Ambrosini et al 15 found that low income was associated with the Western diet in 14-year-old adolescents. Low food availability is often due to low income, which usually has a negative impact on the amount and quality of the foods consumed by poor families 26 .…”

OBJECTIVE: To identify schoolchildren"s dietary patterns and investigate the demographic, social, and economic determinants of the differences found between patterns. METHODS: The sample consisted of 1,330 students aged 11 to 17 years attending the public schools of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The subjects' food intake data were collected by a semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire comprising 97 food items. All information was collected during a single interview. The exposure variables were gender, age, and socioeconomic class, and the outcome variables were categorized food consumption pattern in "mixed pattern", "traditional pattern", and "healthy pattern". The data were treated by simple and multiple linear regression analyses and the dietary patterns determined by factor analysis. RESULTS: Most participants were female (56.9%) and over 13 years old (79.2%). The "mixed pattern" was positively associated with females (β=0.181, p<0.001). The "traditional pattern" was negatively associated with classes D, C, and B (β=-0.149, p<0.007), and the "healthy pattern" was negatively associated with females (β=-0.200, p>0.0001) and classes D, C, and B (β=-0.125, p<0.023). CONCLUSION: Three dietary patterns were identified among the adolescents, namely mixed, traditional, and healthy. Gender and socioeconomic class were associated with dietary patterns. Male teenagers and those in the lower socioeconomic classes had a healthier dietary pattern than their peers of higher socioeconomic classes and females.

“…On the other hand, the role of the family cannot be dismissed considering that a healthy diet is related to a better functioning family. 41,42 Parents of individuals with ADHD often report a more dysfunctional family environment, 39,43,44 so it is plausible that the relationship between low adherence to a healthy diet and ADHD diagnosis may be exacerbated by a dysfunctional a Dairy products include milk, cheese, yogurt, milk/ice cream, and dairy-based desserts; cereals include pasta, rice, potatoes, and breakfast cereals; bakery includes cookies, muffi ns, donuts, croissants, etc; vegetables (raw and cooked) include salads, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, green beans, etc; citrus fruit include orange, mandarin, and kiwi; other fruit include apples, bananas, pears, etc; meat includes pork, chicken, beef, lamb, sausages, etc; fatty fi sh includes sardines, anchovies, tuna, mackerel, salmon, etc; white fi sh includes hake, codfi sh, etc; noncola soft drinks include lemon, orange, and other fl avors of soda drinks (all caffeine-free); and cola drinks include regular and diet cola drinks. b Seventy-two percent of cases and 80% of controls for noncola soft-drink consumers also drank cola.…”

The Mediterranean Diet and ADHD in Children and Adolescents

et al. 2017

OBJECTIVES: Although attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been related to nutrient deficiencies and "unhealthy" diets, to date there are no studies that examined the relationship between the Mediterranean diet and ADHD. We hypothesized that a low adherence to a Mediterranean diet would be positively associated with an increase in ADHD diagnosis. METHODS:A total of 120 children and adolescents (60 with newly diagnosed ADHD and 60 controls) were studied in a sex-and age-matched case-control study. ADHD diagnosis was made according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision. Energy, dietary intake, adherence to a Mediterranean diet, and familial background were measured. Logistic regression was used to determine associations between the adherence to a Mediterranean diet and ADHD. RESULTS:Lower adherence to a Mediterranean diet was associated with ADHD diagnosis (odds ratio: 7.07; 95% confidence interval: 2.65-18.84; relative risk: 2.80; 95% confidence interval: 1.54-5.25). Both remained significant after adjusting for potential confounders. Lower frequency of consuming fruit, vegetables, pasta, and rice and higher frequency of skipping breakfast and eating at fast-food restaurants were associated with ADHD diagnosis (P < .05). High consumption of sugar, candy, cola beverages, and noncola soft drinks (P < .01) and low consumption of fatty fish (P < .05) were also associated with a higher prevalence of ADHD diagnosis.CONCLUSIONS: Although these cross-sectional associations do not establish causality, they raise the question of whether low adherence to a Mediterranean diet might play a role in ADHD development. Our data support the notion that not only "specific nutrients" but also the "whole diet" should be considered in ADHD.

Objective: To examine pre-conception dietary patterns in pregnant asthmatic women and to identify associations between maternal diet and asthma control during pregnancy. Design: Cross-sectional study. Pre-conception food frequency data were collected retrospectively. Asthma control was assessed using the Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines. Dietary patterns were derived using factor analysis. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to test the association between uncontrolled asthma and each dietary pattern (Z-score), with values presented as odds ratio and 95 % confidence interval. Setting: Antenatal clinic in a tertiary hospital, Adelaide, Australia, May 2009-July 2013. Subjects: One hundred and fifty-eight asthmatic pregnant women. Results: Three dietary patterns were identified: (i) 'high protein/fruit' (strong food group loadings for fish, meat, chicken, fruit); (ii) 'high fat/sugar/takeaway' (takeaway foods, crisps, refined grains); and (iii) 'vegetarian-type' (vegetables, fruit, soya milk, whole grains). A 1 SD increase in score on the high fat/sugar/ takeaway pattern was associated with increased likelihood of uncontrolled asthma (adjusted OR = 1·54; 95 % CI 1·07, 2·23; P = 0·022). Women with uncontrolled asthma (n 115) had higher energy-adjusted intakes of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, carbohydrate, sugar and fibre compared with women with controlled asthma (n 43, all P ≤ 0·05). Conclusions: Pre-pregnancy dietary patterns may influence maternal asthma control. Our work highlights the importance of achieving a healthy diet before pregnancy that is low in saturated fat, sugar and takeaway foods, and therefore higher in lean meats, poultry and fish, as well as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A healthy dietary pattern should be encouraged in all asthmatic women who are of childbearing age, and should additionally be promoted before pregnancy and beyond. Keywords Pre-conception diet Asthma Factor analysis Dietary patterns Pregnancy AustraliaAsthma is a heterogeneous and complex disease, involving alterations in airway structure and airway inflammation. Worldwide, asthma represents one of the most common chronic diseases to affect pregnancies, affecting between 8 and 13 % of the population (1)(2)(3) . A meta-analysis from 2011 demonstrated that asthma in pregnancy was associated with up to 54 % increased risk for low birth weight, small for gestational age, preterm delivery and pre-eclampsia (4) .A subsequent meta-analysis revealed that asthma exacerbations in pregnancy increased the risk for low birth weight (relative risk (RR) = 3·02; 95 % CI 1·87, 4·89) and compared with women with mild asthma, women with moderate to severe asthma were at increased risk for babies born with low birth weight (RR = 1·15; 95 % CI 1·05, 1·26) or small for gestational age (RR = 1·24; 95 % CI 1·15, 1·35) (5) . These studies suggest that worsening asthma during pregnancy may contribute to poor outcomes for the fetus and that approaches to improve asthma control may be of benefit (6) . In non-pregnant ...
