The environmental risks included diet, parental hypertension and physical activity.…”

“…Four papers explored the relationship between unhealthy diet and retinal vasculature; however, the findings were not consistent. The Sydney Children Eye Study (SCES) found that children and adolescents with unhealthy diet including higher intake of sugar and carbohydrate and lower intake of yoghurt and fibre tend to have retinal arteriolar narrowing and suboptimal retinal arteriolar fractal dimension (Gopinath et al 2012b(Gopinath et al , 2014. However, some of findings could not be repeated in Singaporean children (Lim et al 2009).…”

Retinal vascular imaging in early life: insights into processes and risk of cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. In recent years, studies have shown that the origins of CVD may be traced to vascular and metabolic processes in early life. Retinal vascular imaging is a new technology that allows detailed non‐invasive in vivo assessment and monitoring of the microvasculature. In this systematic review, we described the application of retinal vascular imaging in children and adolescents, and we examined the use of retinal vascular imaging in understanding CVD risk in early life. We reviewed all publications with quantitative retinal vascular assessment in two databases: PubMed and Scopus. Early life CVD risk factors were classified into four groups: birth risk factors, environmental risk factors, systemic risk factors and conditions linked to future CVD development. Retinal vascular changes were associated with lower birth weight, shorter gestational age, low‐fibre and high‐sugar diet, lesser physical activity, parental hypertension history, childhood hypertension, childhood overweight/obesity, childhood depression/anxiety and childhood type 1 diabetes mellitus. In summary, there is increasing evidence supporting the view that structural changes in the retinal microvasculature are associated with CVD risk factors in early life. Thus, the retina is a useful site for pre‐clinical assessment of microvascular processes that may underlie the future development of CVD in adulthood.

“…Milk is a good or excellent source of protein, Ca, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B 12 , riboflavin, niacin, P and pantothenic acid ( 7 ) . In addition, some studies have shown that milk and milk product consumption during adolescence is associated with neutral or reduced risk of adiposity ( 8 – 12 ) and reduced blood pressure with either higher intake ( 13 ) or as part of a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension)-type dietary pattern ( 14 ) , and some studies link consumption of milk and milk products to dental health ( 15 ) . However, current estimates of total dairy intakes by adolescent girls are well below the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans’ recommendation of 3 servings/d ( 6 ) as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation of 4 dairy servings/d ( 16 ) .…”

ObjectiveTo determine the effects of increasing plant-based foods v. dairy foods on energy and nutrients of concern in adolescent females via diet modelling exercises.DesignData from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used to compare nutrient intakes from usual diet with those from three dietary scenarios that increased current intakes by 100 % of the following: (i) plant-based foods; (ii) protein-rich plant-based foods; and (iii) milk, cheese and yoghurt. The first two scenarios had commensurate reductions in animal products.SettingWhat We Eat in America, NHANES 2007–2010.SubjectsFemale adolescents (n 1594) aged 9–18 years.ResultsWhen currently consumed plant-based foods were increased by 100 %, there were increases in dietary fibre, added sugar, vitamin E, Fe and folate intakes. These increases were accompanied by decreases in total fat, saturated fat, Zn, vitamin D, Ca and protein intakes. Protein-rich plant foods are consumed in very low quantities in this population such that doubling their intake resulted in no real nutritional impact. When dairy products were increased by 100 % there were increases in intakes of vitamin D, Mg, Zn, Ca, K, energy, saturated fat and protein.ConclusionsNon-specific recommendations to increase plant foods can lead to unintended nutritional consequences. For adolescent girls, meeting the dietary recommendation of three daily servings of dairy improved the intake of the identified nutrients of concern while simultaneously providing adequate nutrients essential for proper growth and bone health critical during the adolescent phase.

“…These studies have reported inverse relationships between retinal vessel abnormalities and some dietary constituents such as dietary fibre [18], fish [19] and dairy intake [20]. However, adherence to a healthy or unhealthy derived dietary pattern was not found to be related to retinal vessel caliber measurement in European older adults [21].…”
