“…( Moradi-Lakeh et al, 2017 ) Another interesting study indicated that the high consumption of olive oils among male Saudis seems to help lower the rate of cardiovascular disease. ( Alkhaldy et al, 2019 ) Unfortunately, the risk factor management or lifestyle changes is poor in Saudi Arabia as confirmed by the study conducted by Robert et al (2018) where only 23% of hypertensive patients were even aware that they have elevated blood pressures which co-exist with undiagnosed diabetes with micro- (28%) and macro-vascular complications (50%). ( Robert et al, 2018 )…”

Stroke is a key cerebrovascular disease that is related to high morbidity and mortality in the globe. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is not an exception where stroke is fast developing into a serious challenge due to the high mortality rate. Additionally, stroke presents a tremendous economic burden and has a devastating effect on the quality of lives of individuals. The number of stroke cases are increasing yearly, thus posing a major challenge to the health care system. Therefore, it is crucial to implement primary and secondary prevention strategies in the KSA. Nevertheless, as compared with developed countries, information on the prevalence, socio-demographic properties and prevention of stroke remains scarce that could be attributed to the shortage of research conducted in this specified region. The review is written to address the various aspects of stroke in the KSA, based on current literatures search using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases, to identify studies published since inception to Dec 2020.

“…Several studies have been conducted to investigate dietary quality among adults in the KSA (Al-Shoshan, 2007; Moradi-Lakeh et al, 2017; Thorpe et al, 2014). Most of these studies have assessed diet quality based on either a diet history questionnaire that did not contain details of all types of foods and beverages (Al-Shoshan, 2007; Mandoura et al, 2017; Moradi-Lakeh et al, 2017) or Saudi dietary guidelines (Alkhaldy et al, 2019; Saudi Ministry of Health, 2012). Moreover, one study used the dietary guideline index (DGI), which was designed to assess adherence to Australian dietary guidelines (Thorpe et al, 2014).…”

Background: Diet quality is a term used to assess both the quality and variety of food intake by comparing dietary guidelines. The quality of dietary intake can be used to determine the association between food intake and health status. Studies comparing diet quality among students from different departments are limited. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the dietary quality of female college students with majors in different departments at Taibah University, Madinah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted with 658 female participants. The Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I) was used to describe dietary quality. Results: The total DQI-I score of the College of Applied Medical Sciences (CAMS) students (55.5%) was higher than those of the College of Sciences (CS) (52.3%) and College of Arts and Humanities (CAH) (50.4%) students. The risk of having a poor diet was higher among the CS (odds ratio (OR) = 1.154, 95% confidence interval (CI) (95% CI) = 1.007–1.879) and CAH students (OR = 1.624, CI = 1.012–2.604) than among the CAMS students. Having a low DQI-I score was associated with a high risk of obesity (OR= 2.478, 95% CI = 1.007–3.879) and a high body fat % (OR = 3.920, 95% CI = 1.757–8.749). Conclusion: This study showed the need to raise awareness among the younger population about the importance of healthy eating, which involves implementing healthy habits to improve one’s quality of life.

“…NAB consumption is thought to have positive action on a cardiovascular level as a cross-sectional study has shown that healthy people drink more of it than people suffering from cardiovascular disease. Moreover, people free of CVD have more fruits and olive oil in their daily meals [126].…”

Consumers’ demand for functional fermented food that can fulfill nutritional needs and help maintain a balanced diet while also having a positive impact on one’s health status is increasing all over the world. Thus, healthy choices could include beverages with nutrients and bioactive compounds which can be used as an effective disease-prevention strategy. Regular beer has certain health benefits which inspire further research with the prospect of obtaining special functional beers with little or no alcohol content. As observed, the special beer market remains highly dynamic and is predicted to expand even further. Therefore, brewers need to keep up with the consumers’ interests and needs while designing special beers, namely nonalcoholic beers (NABs), low-alcohol beers (LABs), and craft beers (CBs). Thus, understanding the potential uses of bioactive compounds in special beer, the wide range of therapeutic effects, and the possible mechanisms of action is essential for developing healthier beverages. This review aimed to evaluate the nutritional features of special beers, and their proven or potential beneficial actions on one’s health status and in preventing certain diseases.
