“…In France, as in other industrialized countries, shifting DP characterises a dietary transition combined with lifestyle changes. These changes, resulting in a decline in energy expenditure, have been identified as significantly associated with disability and premature deaths due to chronic non-communicable diseases which include obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and some types of cancer [ 49 , 50 ]. These are partly due to higher energy intakes, increases in fat, and saturated fat intakes with higher animal source food consumption, lower intakes of fruits and vegetables, and the increase of additives and processed foods [ 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

Background: Diet appears to play a key role in the pathogenesis of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Some dietary patterns (DP) could increase the risk of triggering or worsening IBS symptoms. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the association between a posteriori derived DP and IBS in a large French population, the web-based NutriNet-Santé cohort. Methods: Study population included participants of the NutriNet-Santé study who completed a questionnaire based on Rome III criteria assessing IBS. A principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to identify major DPs based on 29 food groups’ consumption. Associations between DP quintiles and IBS were investigated with multivariable logistic regressions. Results: 44,350 participants were included, with 2423 (5.5%) presenting IBS. Three major DP were extracted using PCA, “healthy,” “western,” and “traditional.” After adjustments on confounders, the “western” DP was positively associated with IBS (OR Q5 vs. Q1 = 1.38, 95% CI 1.19–1.61, p trend < 0.0001) and the “traditional” DP was positively associated with IBS in women (OR Q5 vs. Q1 = 1.29 95% CI 1.08–1.54, p trend = 0.001). Conclusions: In this study, a “western” DP—highly correlated with the consumption of fatty and sugary products and snacks—was associated with a moderate increased risk of IBS.

“…Triggered by a complex mix of marketing, social, and economic policies, the Indian nutrition transition [ 1 ] has been associated with a significant change in the lifestyles and the dietary habits of urban Indians [ 2 – 4 ]. The rapid proliferation of multinational fast food companies in the Indian food market and the influence of Western culture have replaced traditional home cooked meals with ready-to-eat, processed foods in urban Indian households [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…The rapid proliferation of multinational fast food companies in the Indian food market and the influence of Western culture have replaced traditional home cooked meals with ready-to-eat, processed foods in urban Indian households [ 5 , 6 ]. These changing food preferences have contributed to the increased risk of chronic degenerative diseases, thus affecting the quality of life and health of about 1.2 billion Indians [ 2 , 6 ]. This highlights the need to nurture healthy eating habits among Indians from an early age.…”

BackgroundThe nutrition transition has brought about rapid changes in the structure of the Indian diet. The replacement of traditional home-cooked meals with ready-to-eat, processed foods has contributed to an increased risk of chronic diseases in urban Indians. Improving the nutrition of Indians by promoting healthy food consumption in early life and in adolescence would help to reduce these health risks. However, little is known about the quality and quantity of foods and beverages consumed by urban Indian adolescents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the food consumption patterns in a sample of urban Indian adolescents.MethodsA self-administered, semi-quantitative, 59-item meal-based food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was developed to assess the dietary intake of adolescents over the previous day. A total of 1026 students (aged 14–16 years) attending private, English-speaking schools in Kolkata, India completed the survey.ResultsOverall, the adolescents reported poor dietary intakes; over one quarter (30%) reported no consumption of vegetables and 70% reported eating three or more servings of energy-dense snacks, on the previous day. Nearly half of the respondents (45%) did not consume any servings of fruits and 47% reported drinking three or more servings of energy-dense beverages. The mean consumption of food groups in serves/day varied from 0.88 (SD = 1.36) for pulses and legumes to 6.25 (SD = 7.22) for energy-dense snacks. In general, girls had more nutritious dietary intakes than boys.ConclusionsThe Indian adolescents reported poor food consumption patterns, and these findings highlight the need to design effective nutrition promotion strategies to encourage healthy eating in adolescence and targeting food supply and availability.

“…This hypothesis was based on the fact that underweight and undernutrition remain significant health issues in the refugee population (16). This coexistence of obesity and undernutrition in a single population, known as the nutritional transition, has been described throughout the developing world (17). …”

Background: Individuals in conflict-affected areas rarely get appropriate care for chronic or non-infectious diseases. The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing worldwide, and new evidence shows conclusively that the negative effects of hyperglycemia occur even at mild glucose elevations and that these negative effects can be attenuated by treatment. Scientific literature on gestational diabetes in refugee camp settings is critically limited. .0] when the cut-off determined by the HAPO trial was applied. Applying the older WHO criteria yielded a prevalence of 6.6% (95% CI 3.3Á9.8). Age, parity, and BMI emerged as characteristics that may be significantly associated with GDM in this population. Other risk factors that are commonly used in screening guidelines were not applicable in this diabetes-naïve population. Discussion: The prevalence of GDM is lower in this population compared with other populations, but still complicates 10% of pregnancies. New evidence regarding gestational diabetes raises new dilemmas for healthcare providers in resource-poor settings. Efforts to identify and treat patients at risk for adverse outcomes need to be balanced with awareness of the risks and burdens associated with over diagnosis and unnecessary interventions. Screening approaches based on risk factors or using higher cut-off values may help minimize this burden and identify those most likely to benefit from intervention.
