“…To overcome this, nutrition experts recommend collecting dietary intake over the previous 24 h on multiple, nonconsecutive days to accurately reflect the usual dietary intake of an individual. Our findings may also be explained by the fact that, given the mean CD4 T‐cell nadir of 200 cells/μl, our participants may represent a population of HIV‐infected adults with less exposure to severe immunodeficiency over the course of their HIV disease.

Alcohol and dietary factors associate with gut integrity and inflammation in HIV‐infected adults

Introduction HIV+ adults have heightened monocyte activation and inflammation, at least partially due to altered gut integrity. The role of dietary factors on microbial translocation, inflammation and the downstream effect on markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has not been explored. Our purpose was to describe the longitudinal dietary patterns of HIV+ adults; and examine the relationship between dietary intake, gut integrity, inflammation and subclinical markers of CVD in HIV+ adults. Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of 147 HIV+ participants in a 96-week randomized clinical trial of rosuvastatin as primary CVD prevention. Dietary intake was assessed using a dietary recall; plasma gut integrity, monocyte activation and inflammation markers measured by ELISA; CVD risk assessed by carotid ultrasound and coronary artery calcium score. Linear mixed models were used to analyze longitudinally measured biomarkers. Results Median age was 45 years and 78% were male. At baseline participants consumed a mean (SD) of 108 (70) grams of fat daily, 19 (15.6) grams of fiber, 266 (186) grams of carbohydrates, 15.6 (5.9) grams of protein; 45% of the sample consumed alcohol. Over time, alcohol consumption was associated with several markers of gut integrity and inflammation (all p’s<0.05). Discussion HIV+ adults in a contemporary, high-resource setting have poor dietary patterns. Alcohol use was associated with worse gut integrity and increased inflammation, while other aspects of diet (fiber, carbohydrates, fat) were not. These data add to growing evidence illustrating the need for a better understanding of the effect of lifestyle factors on comorbidities in HIV+ adults.

“…However, by making use of product nutrient labels it is possible to maintain a more current database than can be represented by the standard food tables. Other online tools have more limited food tables, for example, INTAKE24 uses a database of about 1560 foods from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey nutrient databank, which is linked to the UK generic food tables (21) ; Food4Me only asks about 157 foods (17) ; Diet Day for the USA has 9349 food items (27) . New technologies can support portion size assessment, which is often a challenge in dietary assessment.…”

The advent of the internet and smartphone technology has allowed dietary assessment to reach the 21st century! The variety of foods available on the supermarket shelf is now greater than ever before. New approaches to measuring diet may help to reduce measurement error and advance our understanding of nutritional determinants of disease. This advance provides the potential to capture detailed dietary data on large numbers of individuals without the need for costly and time-consuming manual nutrition coding. This aim of the present paper is to review the need for new technologies to measure diet with an overview of tools available. The three main areas will be addressed: (1) development of web-based tools to measure diet; (2) use of smartphone apps to self-monitor diet; (3) improving the quality of dietary assessment through development of an online library of tools. A practical example of the development of a web-based tool to assess diet myfood24 (www.myfood24. org) will be given exploring its potential, limitations and challenges. The development of a new food composition database using back-of-pack information will be described. Smartphone apps used to measure diet with a focus on obesity will be reviewed. Many apps are unreliable in terms of tracking, and most are not evaluated. Accurate and consistent measurement of diet is needed for public health and epidemiology. The choice of the most appropriate dietary assessment method tends to rely on experience. The DIET@NET partnership has developed best practice guidelines for selection of dietary assessment tools, which aim to improve the quality, consistency and comparability of dietary data. These developments provide us with a step-change in our ability to reliably characterise food and nutrient intake in population studies. The need for high-quality, validated systems will be important to fully realise the benefits of new technologies.

“…A major finding was that a higher vegetable protein intake is associated with reduced which may be considered more a strength than a limitation (Forster et al,. 2016).…”

The objective was to evaluate differences in macronutrient intake and to investigate the possible association between consumption of vegetable protein and the risk of overweight/obesity, within the Food4Me randomised, online intervention. Differences in macronutrient consumption among the participating countries grouped by EU Regions (Western Europe, British Isles, Eastern Europe and Southern Europe) were assessed. Relation of protein intake, within isoenergetic exchange patterns, from vegetable or animal sources with risk of overweight/obesity was assessed through the multivariate nutrient density model and a multivariate-adjusted logistic regression. A total of 2413 subjects who completed the Food4Me screening were included, with self-reported data on age, weight, height, physical activity and dietary intake. As success rates on reducing overweight/obesity are very low, form a public health perspective, the elaboration of policies for increasing intakes of vegetable protein and reducing animal protein and sugars, may be a method of combating overweight/obesity at a population level.
