“…Among women with a body mass index (BMI) <23 kg/m 2 increased fruit intake was associated with a 13% lower risk of becoming overweight or obese in older age ( p = 0.01). A 2018 cohort study (4357 middle age participants; 5 years) observed that increased fruit and vegetable intake was associated with a significant decrease in body weight and BMI among Chinese men and similar but not significant change in body weight and BMI among women [99]. A large-scale Canadian population-based survey (26,340 individuals) observed that compared to individuals with <1 fruit serving/day those with >2 fruit servings/day had a 10% lower risk for obesity and 12% lower risk of abdominal obesity (all p for trend <0.05) [100].…”

Whole Fruits and Fruit Fiber Emerging Health Effects

Less than 10% of most Western populations consume adequate levels of whole fruits and dietary fiber with typical intake being about half of the recommended levels. Evidence of the beneficial health effects of consuming adequate levels of whole fruits has been steadily growing, especially regarding their bioactive fiber prebiotic effects and role in improved weight control, wellness and healthy aging. The primary aim of this narrative review article is to examine the increasing number of health benefits which are associated with the adequate intake of whole fruits, especially fruit fiber, throughout the human lifecycle. These potential health benefits include: protecting colonic gastrointestinal health (e.g., constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases, and diverticular disease); promoting long-term weight management; reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome; defending against colorectal and lung cancers; improving odds of successful aging; reducing the severity of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; enhancing psychological well-being and lowering the risk of depression; contributing to higher bone mineral density in children and adults; reducing risk of seborrheic dermatitis; and helping to attenuate autism spectrum disorder severity. Low whole fruit intake represents a potentially more serious global population health threat than previously recognized, especially in light of the emerging research on whole fruit and fruit fiber health benefits.

“…The Chinese Health and Nutrition study (2387 women; mean baseline age 46 years and BMI of 23.3) observed in middle-aged normal-weight women that each 100 g/day increase in total FV reduced weight by −0.14 kg and BMI by −0.29 over six years. Still, these reductions did not achieve statistical significance [ 33 ]. Despite the study’s finding of an insignificant association with weight loss, the Chinese still recommended an increased FV intake to their population to help protect against long-term risk of weight gain.…”

No previous reviews or meta-analyses have specifically assessed the effects of increased fruit and vegetable (FV) intake on weight loss with a primary focus on women. Several studies show differences between men and women in how increased FV intake affects their weight loss and maintenance, risk of becoming overweight or obese, and the influence of eating speed and frequency on weight control. This analysis provides a comprehensive and visual assessment of the effects of increasing FV intake and long-term weight change from observational studies and weight loss from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in women. Consistent evidence from prospective studies and RCTs shows that increased intake of FV is a chief contributor to weight loss in women. This effect is enhanced with concurrent dietary restriction of high energy density (ED) or high-fat foods. Yet, the type of FV differentially impacts weight loss in women. Whole FV intake may influence weight through a variety of mechanisms including a reduction in eating rate, providing a satisfying, very-low to low energy density, low glycemic load or low-fat content. Also, FV are the primary source of dietary fiber, which can provide additional support for weight loss in women when consumed at adequate levels.

“…HPV genotyping by HybriMax was performed using residual Pap test specimens with the HPV GenoArray Test Kit (HybriBio Ltd), and cases were divided into the high-risk HPV infection group and "others" (including low-risk HPV and negative cases). This assay can identify 21 types of HPV, including 15 high-risk types (16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,53,56,58,59, 66, and 68). The low-risk HPV types include types 6,11,42,43,44, and CP8304, which were identi ed using the ow-through hybridization technique performed with a TC-96/G/H6 HPV DNA Ampli cation Analyzer and an HMM-2 fast nucleic acid molecule hybridization instrument (HybriBio Ltd).…”

Background: Dietary nutrient intake plays a significant role in carcinogenesis. Few studies have investigated the association between dietary nutrient intake and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) risk in China. Methods: Data on 2,304 women from an ongoing cohort comprising 40,000 women from China in 2014 were included. We randomly selected 218 out of 2304 people as subjects during 2019. All participants were surveyed through in-person interviews, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. Clinical data were obtained from physical examinations and laboratory tests. Dietary intakes were assessed using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Nutrition intakes from 26 food sources were calculated using a comprehensive validated database. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the frequency and proportion, and mean and standard deviation of the demographic characteristics. Characteristics were examined for significant differences, and Pearson chi-square tests were used for categoric variables. Logistic regression was used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) for CIN risk in each nutritional ingredient quartile relative to that in the highest quartile. Results: The food frequency questionnaire exhibited acceptable reproducibility and reasonable validity in assessing nutrient intakes among these women. After adjusting for multiple confounders, several dietary nutrients showed significant associations with CIN2+ risk. Low dietary folate intake was associated with the risk of CIN2+ (first versus fourth quartile: OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.03-2.33). Similar results were also observed for vitamin B6 (OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.08-2.46), vitamin C (OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.05-2.42), niacin (OR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.08-2.51), and vitamin K (second versus fourth quartile: OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.05-2.44). Conclusions: Low folate; vitamin B6, C, and K; and niacin intakes were associated with CIN2+ risk. Nutrients may influence the development of higher grade CIN and cervical cancer. Trial registration: The study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Register (ChiCTR-ROC-15006479) (http://www.chictr.org.cn).
