“…BMI was not associated with serum 25(OH)D concentrations in this population, mostly probably due to the fact that the mean BMI for the study participants was within the normal range for Asian populations ( < 23 kg/m 2 ) ( 54 ) , and the range was narrow. Mean dietary vitamin D intake for these middle- and older-aged Singaporean men (2·8 ( sd 1·8) μg/d) and women (2·4 ( sd 1·7) μg/d) was lower than comparably aged men (5·1 ( sd 0·3) μg/d) and women (3·9 ( sd 0·4) μg/d) in the USA according to the 2005–6 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data ( 55 ) , and somewhat lower than adult men (3·1 ( sd 0·1) μg/d) and women (2·7 ( sd 0·1) μg/d) in the UK according to the 2008–9 National Diet and Nutrition Survey data ( 56 ) .…”

Vitamin D is known for maintaining Ca homeostasis and bone structure, and may also decrease susceptibility to chronic and infectious diseases. However, data on vitamin D status and its predictors among Southeast Asian populations are limited. We evaluated the distribution and determinants (genetic and environmental) of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations among 504 middle-aged and elderly participants (aged 45–74 years) in the Singapore Chinese Health Study. Data on dietary and other lifestyle factors were collected by trained interviewers. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations and genetic polymorphisms in vitamin D metabolism pathway enzymes (cytochrome P450 (CYP)2R1,3A4,27B1,24A1; vitamin D binding protein (also known as group-specific component,GC); and vitamin D receptor) were measured using stored biospecimens. Mean 25(OH)D concentration was 68·8 nmol/l. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were positively associated with dietary vitamin D intake, and inversely associated with hours spent sitting at work. BMI was not associated with 25(OH)D concentrations.CYP2R1rs10741657, rs12794714, rs1993116;CYP3A4rs2242480; andGCrs4588, rs7041, rs16847015, rs2298849 were statistically significantly associated with 25(OH)D concentrations. Individuals with theGc2-2haplotype (rs4588AA/rs7041TT) had statistically significantly lower 25(OH)D concentrations compared to all otherGchaplotypes (P-trend < 0·001). The majority of participants (86 %) had 25(OH)D concentrations ≥ 50 nmol/l, which is consistent with the 2011 Institute of Medicine (US) recommendation for bone health, and 32 % had concentrations of ≥ 75 nmol/l that are thought to be required for broader health effects. Dietary vitamin D intake, hours spent indoors at work and genetic variation inCYP2R1,CYP3A4andGCare significant predictors of 25(OH)D concentrations among Singapore Chinese.

“…UK adults are currently consuming an average 12.5% of food energy from non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES) [14]. This is more than double the new recommendation assuming that the new definition of free sugar is similar to that for NMES in the UK’s National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS); a continuous, cross-sectional survey designed as a rolling programme to collect detailed, quantitative information on the food consumption, nutrient intake and nutritional status of the general population aged 1.5 years and over living in private households in the UK, covering a representative sample of around 1000 people per year.…”

“…As a result of their assessment of the evidence SACN recommended changes to the definition and recommended values, increasing the recommendation to 30 g of fibre a day measured using the Association of Official Analytical Chemists method for total dietary fibre analysis (AOAC) compared to the previous recommendation of 18 g of non-starch polysaccharide a day (equivalent to 23 g AOAC fibre). Mean intakes of non-starch polysaccharide remain well below the dietary recommendation at a population average intake of 18 g per day for adults aged 19 years and over (14 g/day in adults aged 19–64 years, 13.4 g/day in adults aged 65+ years [14]. …”

“…Twenty-five per cent of men aged 19 to 64 years, 28% of women aged 19 to 64 years, 34% of men aged 65 years and over and 35% of women aged 65 years and over met the 5-A-Day recommendation[14]. Such intakes therefore fail to meet recommendations associated with lower incidence of cardiovascular disease (that is consumption of more than 400 g a day [12]; equivalent to at least 5 portions as defined by the UK government).…”

Nutrition advice is devolved within each of the four UK countries, but share a common evidence base provided through the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN). Current UK dietary recommendations to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) is based upon recommendations from SACN and its predecessor committee. Dietary advice in the UK has recently been revised in relation to intakes of free sugar and fibre. This paper highlights current UK recommendations for the prevention of CVD, in particular related to energy intake, saturated fat, free sugars, salt, fruit, vegetables, oily fish and fibre. It describes how this advice is promulgated including the refresh of the Eatwell Guide and wider action that will impact on CVD.

“…Relative to its energy profile, the nutritional quality that red meat provides and its contribution to key micronutrients is often under-valued [ 1 ]. Findings from the latest UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) highlight sizeable gaps in habitual meat intakes between UK males and females [ 2 ]. Reported mean intakes of red and processed red meat from Years 5 and 6 of the survey were 47 g per day for females aged 19 to 64 years.…”

Blanket health messages to lower red meat intakes are being communicated at present. These could have adverse implications on the micronutrient quality of women’s diets. The current paper evaluates the nutritional impact of lower red meat intakes on British women’s micronutrient intakes and status. A secondary analysis of the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey was undertaken using data from years 2008/2009 to 2011/2012. This was comprised of dietary and blood analyte data from 1384 and 641 females aged 11 to 64 years. Females consuming less than 40 g total red meat daily were more likely to have micronutrient intakes below the Lower Reference Nutrient Intake (LRNI) for zinc, iron, vitamin B12 and potassium and have lower habitual vitamin D intakes than females consuming between 40 and 69 g daily. After adjusting data for energy intake, zinc (% below the LRNI) and vitamin D (μg/day) remained statistically significant (p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed for blood biomarkers. Females consuming diets lower in red meat, i.e., <40 g daily, appear to have reduced micronutrient intakes, especially in the case of zinc and vitamin D. This should be considered when giving blanket advice for whole populations to reduce red meat intakes.
