“…fresh matter 2 d.m. dry matter 3 The carbohydrate content was estimated by subtracting fat, total dietary fibre, ash (presented in Table 3), protein and moisture content from 100% 4 Energy value was calculated based on average protein, fat and carbohydrate content three determinations for each dried fruit were performed; Mean values with the same letter in each column were not significantly different at α = 0.05 (sorted from the lowest to highest values) variation in IDF content in dried fruits was found, ranging from 3.6 (raisins) to 49.0 g/100 g (noni). Rose hip had slightly lower IDF content (44.3 g/100 g) than noni, but it also had the highest content of SDF (12.0 g/100 g) among other dried fruits (0.6-4.9 g/100 g of SDF).…”

“…On the one hand, most of them can be characterized as rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants, on the other hand, by a high content of sugars, mainly fructose, and moderate to high energy value [2]. Sullivan and co-authors [3] analyzed the impact of dried fruits consumption on the nutrients intake among participants of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the United States between 2007 and 2016. They concluded that higher consumption of dried fruits can increase the intake of under-consumed nutrients such as dietary fiber and potassium, but it can also lead to higher energy intake.…”

Dried fruits are an excellent alternative to unhealthy snacks. Twelve commercially available dried fruits were selected: dates, raisins, prunes, Goji berry, chokeberry, rose hip, sea buckthorn, berberis, physalis, haritaki, noni and juniper. The nutritional value in terms of moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, energy value, mineral composition, antioxidant activity and tannins was compared. It is a novelty in the literature in relation to the particular analytes (e.g., minerals, tannins) and/or fruits (e.g., berberis, noni, haritaki). Especially rich in protein were Goji berry (13.3%), sea buckthorn (9.3%), noni (8.9%) and physalis (8.0%); in fat − sea buckthorn (11.2%); in dietary fiber (4.4–53.0%) − most of analyzed products. High antioxidant capacity was noticed for haritaki, berberis, rose hip, Goji berry, and physalis. An important source of minerals was 100 g of: noni (345 mg of Ca; 251 mg of Mg), rose hip (844 mg of Ca; 207 mg of Mg), juniper (564 mg of Ca), sea buckthorn (58 mg of Fe), berberis (24 mg of Fe) and haritaki (14 mg of Fe). The nutritionally attractive dried fruits have the potential for wider application in food formulations.

“…However, the DQI-I score for moderation in sodium intake was significantly higher for the non-consumer group, which could be explained by the significantly lower intake of sodium in this group compared to the avocado consumers. Evidence shows that intakes of certain nutrient-rich or healthy foods are associated with or improve overall diet quality [8][9][10][37][38][39][40]. As a nutrient-rich food, intake of avocado had been shown to be associated with improved diet quality among US adults [15].…”

“…Incorporation of certain foods and/or food groups into the diet had been shown to improve or exhibit better diet quality. This may be due to what is usually eaten alongside those foods, or by displacing certain less healthy foods with healthier alternatives [8][9][10]. Specifically, avocados have high nutritional value, since they are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals [11].…”

Associations between Avocado Consumption and Diet Quality, Dietary Intake, Measures of Obesity and Body Composition in Adolescents: The Teen Food and Development Study

Avocado is a nutrient-rich food that has been shown to benefit the health and diet quality of adults. In this paper, we examined if habitual intake of avocado among adolescents is associated with their diet quality, food and nutrient intake, and measures of obesity and body composition. Participants aged 12–18 years old (n = 534) from selected public and Adventist middle-high schools reported their dietary intake in a web-based food frequency questionnaire (FFQ); anthropometrics were measured during school visits. Diet quality (DQI-I) and avocado intake were calculated from the FFQ; BMI z-scores (BMIz), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), and %body fat (%BF) were determined from the anthropometric data. Compared to non-consumers, avocado consumers had significantly higher covariate-adjusted mean scores on total DQI-I (68.3 vs. 64.6) and energy-adjusted mean scores on variety (18.8 vs. 18.0) and adequacy (36.4 vs. 33.4). Avocado consumption was significantly associated with DQI-I components adequacy (β [SE] = 0.11 [0.03]) and moderation (β [SE] = 0.06 [0.03]) but not with BMIz, WHtR, FM, FFM, and %BF. Mean intakes of fruits, vegetables, and plant protein foods, total and vegetable proteins, dietary fiber, retinol, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium were significantly higher for avocado consumers; saturated and trans fats intakes were significantly higher for non-consumers. In our adolescent population, avocado consumption was associated with higher diet quality and intake of plant-based foods and shortfall nutrients, but not with measures of obesity and body composition. Studies are needed to determine the optimal amount of avocado that would confer health benefits during adolescence.

“…Este instrumento consistió en 7 ítems dirigidos al consumo o no de tabaco (cigarrillos), alcohol (cerveza pisco, ron), gaseosas, snacks (piqueos, chizitos y otros fritos), frutas (2 porciones al día), verduras (una porción al día) y si realiza actividad física un promedio de 30 minutos al día. Las bases teóricas para la elaboración de las preguntas del instrumento fueron las investigaciones realizadas por López et al (12) para el tabaco, Varela (13) para la actividad física, Mirmiram et al (14) para las verduras, Mirmiram et al (14) y Sullivan et al (15) para las frutas, y Kant et al (16) para los snacks.…”

Objetivo. Determinar la relación de los estilos de vida y el síndrome metabólico en los pobladores adultos y adultos mayores de la ciudad de Trujillo (Perú), entre julio y agosto de 2019. Métodos. El estudio fue de diseño no experimental, descriptivo, correlacional y de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 227 adultos y 44 adultos mayores. El síndrome metabólico se determinó mediante criterios del ATP-III armonizado. Para evaluar los estilos de vida se utilizó un cuestionario con preguntas sobre snacks, frutas, verduras, consumo de tabaco, alcohol y actividad física. El análisis estadístico empleado para relacionar ambas variables fue la prueba de chi cuadrado. Resultados. Se determinó que el 55 % de los adultos y el 73 % de los adultos mayores presentaban síndrome metabólico. El 18,9 % de losadultos consumíaN snacks y presentaban síndrome metabólico; en tanto que aquellos que no consumían snacks y no presentaban síndrome metabólico representaban el 23,3 % (p = 0,037). El 27,3 % no consumían verduras, presentaban síndrome metabólico; en tanto que el 28,6 % consumían verduras, no presentaban síndrome metabólico (0,044). Conclusión. Solo se encontró relación entre el consumo de snacks y el consumo de verduras con el síndrome metabólico en los adultos
