Compound‐Specific Stable Isotope Analysis Improves the Association Between Dairy Fatty Acid Biomarkers and Dairy Intake: A Secondary Analysis

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing evidence suggests that dairy consumption may decrease the risk of chronic diseases. However, this association remains unclear due to methodological limitations. As a part of a secondary analysis, we used compound‐specific stable isotope analysis to increase the accuracy of the dairy FA biomarkers (15:0, 17:0), considering that each ...

Impact of a low‐carbohydrate diet on cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without diabetes: An 8‐year longitudinal study within the ELSA‐Brasil cohort

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Low‐carbohydrate diets (LCDs) are widely adopted for metabolic management, but their long‐term cardiometabolic effects in diverse populations remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the association between self‐selected moderate LCD adherence and cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without diabetes.

Inflammation Associated With Obesity, Aging, and Amyloid Burden in Adults With Down Syndrome

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Adults with Down syndrome (DS) often show elevated systemic inflammation, but the association with obesity, aging, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is not well understood. Methods Data were drawn from 188 nondemented adults with DS participating in the Alzheimer Biomarkers Consortium‐DS (ABC‐DS). Participants completed clinical

Prevalence of non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and its association with different combinations of weight status and metabolic abnormalities in children aged 6–18 years

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Children with non‐overweight combined with metabolic risk factors might increase the risk of non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). These findings suggest that overweight and obesity should not be the sole criterion for NAFLD screening in children. In particular, more attention should be given to non‐overweight combined with metabolic abnormalities

Head‐to‐Head Comparison of Four Ultrasound Elastography Techniques in Detecting Advanced Fibrosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Elastography is an important noninvasive method for diagnosing advanced fibrosis (AF); however, evidence remains insufficient, particularly regarding acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) techniques. This prospective mulitcenter study concludes that vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) demonstrates superior diagnostic performance to ...
