“…It is true that the connection between CVDs and carbohydrates has not been universally accepted yet, but both epidemiological and mechanistic evidence is growing, and this fundamental problem attracts wide public attention. Actually, our results -including the link between raised cholesterol and lower CVD risk -have been almost perfectly replicated by the recent global PURE study [32][33], the most shared scientific work in the world in 2017 [34]. Excessive alcohol drinking is also recognized as an important factor of CVD risk [35] and can explain the recent epidemic of CVDs in men from the former USSR republics [20].…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was a large-scale ecological analysis of nutritional and other environmental factors potentially associated with the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in the global context. Indicators of CVDs from 158 countries were compared with the statistics of mean intake (supply) of 60 food items between 1993 and 2011, obesity rates, health expenditure and life expectancy. This comparison shows that the relationship between CVD indicators (raised blood pressure, CVD mortality, raised blood glucose) and independent variables in the global context is influenced by various factors such as short life expectancy, religiously conditioned dietary customs, the imprecision of some statistics and undernutrition. However, regardless of the statistical method used, the results always show very similar trends and identify high carbohydrate consumption (mainly in the form of cereals and wheat in particular) as a dietary factor most consistently associated with the risk of CVDs. These findings are in line with the changing view of the causes of CVDs. Because only the statistics of raised blood glucose include people using medications and reflect true prevalence that is independent of healthcare, more objective data on the prevalence of CVDs are needed to confirm these observed trends.

“…These values of the coefficients define a moderate correlation [12,13], showing that the validated FFQ is a suitable tool to assess dietary intake in Romanian population. Also, these correlation coefficients are similar to the ones previously reported in studies of FFQ validation in other populations and in which were used 1-day or 3days dietary recalls [1]. For example, in the validation of the FFQ used in the Polish group of the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study in which were enrolled 146 adults, and in which were used 24-h dietary recalls, the correlation coefficients for caloric and macronutrients intake ranged between 0.14 and 0.56 depending on place of residence of enrolled participants [1].…”

“…For the total daily energy intake and intake of proteins and lipids, although the estimated values were lower with FFQ than the ones derived from 24-h dietary recall, the differences were not statistically significant. These observations of under-or overestimations of energy and nutrient intake with FFQ questionnaires was expected and was previously reported in other validation studies of FFQ [1,15,16]. These observed differences between FFQ and 24-h dietary recall may be due to recall bias, as the FFQ refers to the previous months, and, also, to perception of portion sizes consumed.…”

“…FFQ are the most frequently used tools to assess dietary behavior in large populations. They may be self-administered, thus limiting the need of trained interviewers, their processing is relatively inexpensive, and they are intended to estimate mid-term and longterm individual habitual dietary intake [1].…”

Background and aims: The present study aimed to assess the relative validity of the Romanian version of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in evaluating habitual dietary intake. Material and methods: We used an FFQ that comprised questions on 90 beverage and food items from Nurses Health Questionnaire. The linguistic interchangeability between translation and original questions of the FFQ was assessed in 50 bilingual adults. Also, the FFQ was validated against the 24-h recall diary in 85 participants from ORO study enrolled in Cluj County. Results: The Spearman correlation coefficients between the Romanian and English versions of the FFQ ranged between 0.614 and 1.000, with the majority having values >0.900 (p <0.05 for all). Caloric and nutrient intake estimated from FFQ was significantly correlated with that derived from 24-h dietary recall (correlation coefficients 0.243 to 0.339; p-values <0.05). >70% of the participants were classified in the same or adjacent quartiles of energy and nutrient consumption showing a good agreement between FFQ and 24-h dietary recall. Tested FFQ questionnaire had a good internal consistency with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.931 and 0.949, respectively. Conclusion: Tested FFQ had an acceptable relative validity and can be used to estimate caloric and macronutrient intake.

Association of Low-Carbohydrate and Low-Fat Diets With Mortality Among US Adults

iet plays an important role in the public health, and suboptimal diet is estimated as the first leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disabilityadjusted life-years lost in the United States. 1 Among most populations worldwide, carbohydrate is the primary source of energy, providing 50% or more of daily energy, with lesser amounts from fat and protein. 2 Long-standing controversies have focused on the health consequences of dietary fat and carbohydrate. Some dietary guidelines have continued to recommend a low-fat diet (LFD) for prevention of chronic diseases, 3 although inconsistent associations have been reported between total fat consumption and health outcomes. [4][5][6][7] A low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) has become a popular strategy for weight loss and weight management in recent years, 8 but the long-term associations of carbohydrate-restricted diets with health outcomes remain controversial. 9,10 Beyond the quantity, evidence has indicated that quality and food sources of carbohydrate and fat play an important role in human diseases and health. 2,8,11 Consumption of carbohydrates from refined grains and added sugars has been adversely associated with health outcomes, whereas consumption of carbohydrates from whole grains, nonstarchy vegetables, and whole fruits appears to be beneficial. 2,12,13 Likewise, replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat was associated with lower risk of heart disease and mortality. 14,15 During the past 2 decades, the overall macronutrient composition among US adults generally remained stable, but types of carbohydrate and fat intake IMPORTANCE It is crucial to incorporate quality and types of carbohydrate and fat when investigating the associations of low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets with mortality.OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations of low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets with total and cause-specific mortality among US adults.
