“…Prototypes of standard serving bowls, plates and glasses were displayed to the participants to improve the accuracy of the estimated portion sizes. Dietary intake data from the 24-hour recalls was converted into nutrient intake data using the continuously updated in-house nutrient database 38 reflecting the composition of Chinese Foods 39 . This nutrient database includes any food item ever recorded in previous studies conducted at our institute and is based on information from standard nutrient tables, product labels (e.g.…”

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and pre-diabetes have become a major public health problem in China. We examined whether a higher dietary glycemic index (GI) or glycemic load (GL) was associated with a less favorable glucose homeostasis among Chinese adults and whether these associations were modified by their genetic predisposition or whether combined effects exist with their cereal fiber intake. Multivariable regression analyses were performed in 3918 adults aged 23–69 years for whom three 24-hour dietary recalls and information on glucose homeostasis, genetic background and potential confounders was available. Adults in the highest GI (GL) tertile had an approximately 9% (5%) higher fasting plasma glucose, 11% (3%) higher glycated haemoglobin, 12% (7%) higher insulin level, and 28% (22%) higher hepatic insulin resistance compared to those in the lowest tertile (adjusted pfor-trend ≤ 0.04). Moreover, a higher dietary GI or GL was associated with higher odds of pre-diabetes (pfor-trend = 0.03). These associations were more pronounced among persons with a high T2DM genetic risk score (pfor-interaction ≤ 0.06) or a low cereal fiber intake (pfor-interaction ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, our study indicates that the dietary GI or GL is of relevance for glucose homeostasis among Chinese adults, particularly among individuals genetically predisposed to T2DM.

“…Dietary data were collected on three random days within a given individual time frame of 10-days (including two weekdays and one weekend) by trained investigators using a validated 24-h dietary recall [18] in a face-to-face interview. Children aged nine or older were asked to recall all foods and beverages consumed and the corresponding timing [30]; for children younger than nine, parents provided the information on food consumption at home [30] while children provided the dietary intake information from school themselves.…”

We aim to explore the independent associations of sedentary behaviors (SB) with body mass distribution among Chinese children. Data on the screen-based sedentary time (television viewing and computer use) and doing homework, physical activities and dietary intake of 1586 Chinese children (50.3% girls) aged 7–15 years were obtained through validated questionnaires. Skin-fold thickness, body height, and weight were measured to calculate percent body fat (%BF), fat mass index (FMI), and fat-free mass index (FFMI). Parental characteristics were collected by questionnaires. Among girls, time of SB (screen time or doing homework) was positively related to %BF, FMI, and FFMI (p < 0.03) after adjusting for maternal overweight, the average annual income of family, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity energy expenditure, and energy intake: Girls in the highest tertile of screen time/homework had 16.7%/23.3% higher relative FMI and 2.9%/2.9% higher relative FFMI than girls in the lowest tertile. Among boys, screen time was positively associated with FFMI (p < 0.003), but not related to %BF and FMI (p > 0.09), while time of doing homework was positively related to %BF and FMI (p = 0.03). Sedentary behaviors might be positively and independently related to fat mass among Chinese children, and were more pronounced in girls.

Functional Food - Improve Health Through Adequate Food

According to the World Health Organization, the proportion of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) burden is foreseen to increase to 57% in 2020. Consumption paterns have a positive efect on healthy growth and development during childhood and adolescence, and on health problems in adulthood. Diet quality indices are mathematical algorithms used for nutritional epidemiology, aimed at quantifying the degree of adequacy between actual intakes of nutrients or food groups within a population and the reference intakes, which are established based on scientiic facts assuring an optimal state of health while preventing consumers from chronic diseases. Similarly, indexes allow to analyse dietary patern of target population and its consumption trends. In general the terms, DQI (Diet Quality Index), HDI (Healthy Diet Indicator) and MDS (Mediterranean Diet Score), are referred to three internationally recognized diet indexes, which several indices have been adapted from. This chapter includes an extensive review of existing diet indexes, 1) providing a brief description of the most relevant ones, 2) highlighting the weaknesses and strengths and 3) deining the suitable scope of application of each index.

Development of a Dietary Index to Assess Overall Diet Quality for Chinese School-Aged Children: The Chinese Children Dietary Index

Abstract: The Chinese Children Dietary Index successfully differentiated diets and, therefore, it can be used to rank-order overall diet quality among Chinese children. As the results showed, diet quality among Chinese children needs to be improved, especially in adolescents.
