The nutritional issue in older people with home-delivered meals: a scoping review protocol
2020
Setting up a home-delivered meal service often allows older people suffering from physical and/or cognitive disabilities to stay at home. However, older people who delegate their food activities (food purchasing, cooking…) have been reported to have a worse nutritional status than people who take care themselves of their food activities. In this context, we will conduct a scoping review of all studies related to the nutritional issue in home-delivered meal older recipients. This review was expected i. to shed light on the nutritional status of older people who benefit from home-delivery service to better understand their needs, and ii. to evaluate if home-delivered meal service can be a rel…
Impact of food fortification on nutritional outcomes and satisfaction in the older people: A systematic literature review protocol
2021
Malnutrition, a recognized pathology in the older adults, corresponds to an imbalance of nutritional intake compared to the body's needs. To treat this disease, several alternatives can be used, among which there is food fortification. Food-based fortification (also known as dietary enrichment) corresponds to the addition of conventional foods or high calorie and/or nutrients ingredients in the person's meals and dishes. It is a strategy used to treat moderate and severe malnutrition but can be employed as prevention. In this context, the purpose of the present study was to conduct a systematic review of all studies related to the nutritional and satisfaction issue of fortified foods dedica…
Oxysterols – how much do we know about food occurrence, dietary intake and absorption?
2021
Oxysterols are formed in foods during processing and storage, having an impact on the nutritional profile besides being associated to the development of diverse chronic and degenerative diseases. This review provides an overview on recent information and knowledge gaps on oxysterol formation and absorption from foods. Their contents should be monitored based on dietary habits, in order to have more realistic data available and to expand the currently limited daily intake data. Unraveling the mechanism of oxysterol absorption, together with a more thorough understanding of their metabolism, is needed; in this respect, bioavailability studies using in vitro and in vivo methodologies could con…
Redonner l’envie de manger aux personnes âgées en institution : impact de quatre facteurs environnementaux sur la prise alimentaire et le plaisir lié…
2012
Comme l’ont montré plusieurs travaux, l’entrée en Etablissement d’Hébergement pour Personnes Agées Dépendantes (EHPAD) s’accompagne d’une augmentation du risque de dénutrition (HAS, 2007 ; Sulmont-Rossé et al., 2012). Parmi les facteurs susceptibles d’affecter la prise alimentaire, il a été montré que l’environnement qui entoure le repas (de l’assiette à l’ambiance générale) contribuait fortement à l’appétit et à la prise alimentaire des résidents d’EHPAD (Nieuwenhuizen et al. 2009 ; Nijs et al. 2009). De fait, quatre études ont montré qu’une amélioration globale de l’environnement (changement de mobilier, décoration de la salle à manger, réorganisation du personnel…) pouvait entrainer une …
Fast blue B functionalized silica-polymer composite to evaluate 3,5-dihy-droxyhydrocinnamic acid as biomarker of gluten intake
2021
Celiac disease is an immune-mediated systemic disorder elicited by gluten and related prolamines in genetically susceptible individuals. The current treatment is a strict and lifelong gluten-free diet. However, compliance with the gluten-free diet is not always adequate and many food products contain low concentrations of gluten. The determination of dietary transgressions is a challenge for patients, physicians and dietitians. Alkylresorcinols (AR) have been proposed as sensitive and specific biomarkers of gluten consumption. In this work silica-polymer composites doped with fast blue B reagent (FB) have been used to estimate alkylresorcinols in biological samples. The proposed colorimetri…

Comparison of Body Composition and Energy Intake of Young Female Ballet Dancers and Ordinary School Girls
2017
Abstract The aim of this study is to assess body fat level, energy and nutrient intake of adolescent ballet dancers and to compare these results with those of adolescents from ordinary school. Participants included 39 ballet dancers and 70 adolescents from ordinary school. Body composition was measured using a multi-frequency 8-polar bioelectrical impedance leg-to-hand analyser (X-Scan Plus II, Korea). Dietary intakes were assessed using a three-day estimated food record. Nutritional intake was calculated using the Nutri Survey software. Ballet dancers were slightly shorter, lighter, with less fat and fat-free mass compared to girls from ordinary school. 51.3% (95% CI 35.59 to 66.97) of bal…
Hill Runner's Physiology, Performance and Nutrition: A Descriptive Study.
2021
Objectives: The aim of this descriptive study was to characterise anthropometric variables, aerobic capacity, running performance and energy intake and expenditure of hill runners in free-living conditions, and to investigate the relationship between age, anthropometric variables, aerobic capacity and running performance.Methods: Twenty-eight hill runners participated in this study (17 males and 11 females; aged 18–65 years). Body fat percentage estimate, sum of eight skinfolds (triceps, subscapular, biceps, iliac crest, supraspinale, abdominal, front thigh and medial calf) and maximal oxygen capacity (VO2max) were assessed in a laboratory setting. Participants also completed a timed hill r…
Overview of methods used to evaluate the adequacy of nutrient intakes for individuals and populations
2009
The objective of the present paper is to review the methods of measuring micronutrient intake adequacy for individuals and for populations in order to ascertain best practice. A systematic review was conducted to locate studies on the methodological aspects of measuring nutrient adequacy. The results showed that for individuals, qualitative methods (to find probability of adequacy) and quantitative methods (to find confidence of adequacy) have been proposed for micronutrients where there is enough data to set an average nutrient requirement (ANR). If micronutrients do not have ANR, an adequate intake (AI) is often defined and can be used to assess adequacy, provided the distribution of dail…
Assessment of Dietary Intake of Vitamin K and Maximum Limits for Vitamin K in Food Supplements
2019
The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (Vitenskapskomiteen for mat og miljø, VKM) has, at the request of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet; NFSA), evaluated the intake of vitamin K in the diet. VKM has also assessed the consequences of establishing maximum limits for vitamin K in food supplements at 100, 200, 300, 600 or 800 µg/day. The former maximum limit for vitamin K of 200 µg/day in food supplements was repealed 30 May 2017.
 Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin required for the carboxylation of glutamic acid residues in proteins that regulate blood coagulation and bone metabolism. The naturally occurring forms of vitamin K present in food and sup…
