“…The FFQ in this study was a modified version of the FFQ used in the Tianjin Chronic Low-grade Systemic Inflammation and Health (TCLSIH) cohort study that contained 100 food items. The TCLSIH cohort study was a large prospective dynamic cohort study conducted in Tianjin (a city also located in northern China) (16,17) . We added ten food items according to the dietary characteristics of people in northeast China.…”

Purpose: To evaluate the reproducibility and validity of the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for residents of northeast China. Methods: A total of 131 participants completed two FFQs (FFQ1 and FFQ2) within a 3-month period, 125 participants completed 8-day weighed diet records (WDRs), and 112 participants completed blood biomarker testing. Reproducibility was measured by comparing nutrient and food intake between FFQ1 and FFQ2. The validity of the FFQ was assessed by WDRs and the triad method. Results: The Spearman correlation coefficients and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for reproducibility ranged from 0.41 to 0.69 (median = 0.53) and from 0.18 to 0.68 (median = 0.53) for energy and nutrients and from 0.37 to 0.73 (median = 0.59) and from 0.33 to 0.86 (median = 0.60) for food groups, respectively. The classifications of same or adjacent quartiles ranged from 73.64% to 93.80% for both FFQs. The crude Spearman correlation coefficients between the FFQ and WDRs ranged from 0.27 to 0.55 (median = 0.46) for the energy and nutrients and from 0.26 to 0.70 (median = 0.52) for food groups, and classifications of the same or adjacent quartiles ranged from 65.32% to 86.29%. The triad method indicated that validation coefficients for the FFQ were above 0.3 for most nutrients, which indicated a moderate or high level of validity. Conclusions: The FFQ that was developed for residents of northeast China for the Northeast Cohort Study of China is reliable and valid for assessing the intake of most foods and nutrients.

“…For example, the intake of dietary sugar, fat, and protein in life also contains some additives such as sweeteners, preservatives, and other ingredients, and their relationships with depression are not clear, which should be addressed in follow-up studies. Furthermore, the nutritional elements associated with depression not only include those summarized in the article but also involve vitamins [ 176 , 177 , 178 ], folic acid [ 179 ], N-acetylcysteine [ 180 ], S-adenozylmetionine [ 181 ], dietary fiber [ 182 ], etc., which also need to be considered. This article suggests that to better prevent and treat depression, people should gradually focus on the role of nutrients in depression and their daily diet, such as low-sugar and low-fat diets.…”

Depression is a common mental disorder that seriously affects the quality of life and leads to an increasing global suicide rate. Macro, micro, and trace elements are the main components that maintain normal physiological functions of the brain. Depression is manifested in abnormal brain functions, which are considered to be tightly related to the imbalance of elements. Elements associated with depression include glucose, fatty acids, amino acids, and mineral elements such as lithium, zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, and selenium. To explore the relationship between these elements and depression, the main literature in the last decade was mainly searched and summarized on PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and other electronic databases with the keywords “depression, sugar, fat, protein, lithium, zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, and selenium”. These elements aggravate or alleviate depression by regulating a series of physiological processes, including the transmission of neural signals, inflammation, oxidative stress, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity, which thus affect the expression or activity of physiological components such as neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors, receptors, cytokines, and ion-binding proteins in the body. For example, excessive fat intake can lead to depression, with possible mechanisms including inflammation, increased oxidative stress, reduced synaptic plasticity, and decreased expression of 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Postsynaptic density protein 95(PSD-95), etc. Supplementing mineral elements, such as selenium, zinc, magnesium, or lithium as a psychotropic medication is mostly used as an auxiliary method to improve depression with other antidepressants. In general, appropriate nutritional elements are essential to treat depression and prevent the risk of depression.

“…The information on the usual intake of foods and beverages (including different types of tea intake) was assessed using a 100-item validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) with specified serving sizes ( 24 ). The FFQ was designed to measure the food and beverage intake of the participants a month in the previous months.…”

Introduction and aimNephrolithiasis is one of the most common urological disorders worldwide. Tea is one of the most popular drinks worldwide. This study aimed to explore the association between tea intake and hospitalized nephrolithiasis in Chinese adults.MethodsThe patients and healthy participants were from the Shenyang sub-cohort of Tianjin Chronic Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation and Health Cohort Study. After selecting and matching by age (±1 year) and sex using the 1:2 ratio, 834 participants were included in this study. Of these, 278 patients had hospitalized nephrolithiasis and 556 were healthy controls. The tea intake was assessed using a validated self-administered food frequency questionnaire. Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between tea intake and hospitalized nephrolithiasis.ResultsAfter adjustment, a higher frequency of tea intake was found to be negatively associated with the risk of hospitalized nephrolithiasis. Compared with participants who never drank tea, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) [OR (95% CI)] for participants who drank ≥1 cup (180 mL) of tea per day was 0.418 (0.192–0.911) (P for trend = 0.013). Moreover, the adjusted OR (95% CI) for participants who drank ≥1 cup of green tea and black tea per day was 0.189 (0.069–0.520) (P for trend <0.001) and 1.248 (0.437–3.559) (P for trend = 0.654), respectively.ConclusionsIncreased tea intake was found to be associated with a lower risk of hospitalized nephrolithiasis among Chinese adults. This finding may assist in the prevention of hospitalized nephrolithiasis.
