Background: Khat chewing is a long standing social-cultural habit in several countries. Even though many people chew khat simply for its pleasurable and stimulatory effect, evidence showed widely-held belief among khat chewers in Ethiopia and other part of the world that khat helps to lower blood glucose while some studies are contradicted on the effect of khat. There is limited data about khat's effect on blood glucose especially in our setting, Harar estern Ethiopia.

Objective: Primarily the present study aims to compare fasting blood sugar level among khat chewer diabetic and healthy individuals, and to asses risk factors associated with poor glycemic control in diabetic subjects.

Method: A cross-sectional study included 200 confirmed diabetic and healthy subjects. Fasting blood sugar was determined by enzymatic method glucose oxidase and glucose hexokinase. Glycemic control was also determined for diabetic subjects based on the last 2-month diabetic clinic visits and current measurement.

Result: (Median ± IQR [interquartile range]) fasting blood sugar difference among Khat chewer and non khat chewer were 159 ± 83 mg/dl and 202 ± 79 mg/dl respectively in diabetic subjects when tested by glucose oxidase. Similarly, in healthy non khat chewer and khat chewer, khat chewers has lower (Median ± IQR) fasting blood glucose level 82 ± 18 mg/dl than non khat chewers 94 ± 13 mg/dl when tested by glucose oxidase. Regarding risk factors associated with poor glycemic control in diabetic subjects, positive parental diabetes history, insulin medication, being overweight, obese were significantly associated with poor glycemic control.

Conclusion: There was significant effect of khat on median FBS among khat chewers in diabetic and healthy individuals. And the proportion of glycemic control was high among diabetic subjects.

Recommendation: Health care professional and patients should manage the risk factors to delay disease progression and restrain the damage. More studies should be conducted in randomized control trial manner to further elucidate khat effect on blood sugar level so that the actual effect of khat can be identified unlike in cross sectional where there may not be strong causal relationship.

背景:咀嚼阿拉伯茶在一些国家是一种长期存在的社会文化习惯。尽管许多人咀嚼阿拉伯茶只是为了获得愉悦和刺激的效果,但有证据表明,埃塞俄比亚和世界其他地区的阿拉伯茶咀嚼者普遍认为,阿拉伯茶有助于降低血糖,而一些研究与阿拉伯茶的效果相矛盾。关于阿拉伯茶对血糖的影响的数据有限,特别是在我们的环境中,埃塞俄比亚东部的哈拉尔。目的:本研究的主要目的是比较阿拉伯茶咀嚼糖尿病和健康个体的空腹血糖水平,并评估糖尿病受试者血糖控制不良的相关危险因素。方法:采用横断面研究方法,纳入200例确诊的糖尿病和健康受试者。采用葡萄糖氧化酶和葡萄糖己糖激酶法测定空腹血糖。根据最近2个月的糖尿病门诊就诊和当前测量,确定糖尿病受试者的血糖控制情况。结果:葡萄糖氧化酶检测糖尿病患者空腹血糖差异(中位数±四分位数范围)分别为159±83 mg/dl和202±79 mg/dl。同样,在健康的非咀嚼者和咀嚼者中,当葡萄糖氧化酶测试时,咀嚼者的空腹血糖水平(中位数±IQR)低于咀嚼者(中位数±IQR)(82±18 mg/dl)(94±13 mg/dl)。糖尿病受试者血糖控制不良的危险因素中,父母糖尿病史阳性、胰岛素用药、超重、肥胖与血糖控制不良显著相关。结论:阿拉伯茶对糖尿病和健康人群中位FBS有显著影响。糖尿病患者血糖控制的比例较高。建议:医护人员和患者应控制危险因素,延缓疾病进展,抑制损害。更多的研究应该以随机对照试验的方式来进一步阐明阿拉伯茶对血糖水平的影响,这样才能确定阿拉伯茶的实际影响,而不是像横断面研究那样可能没有很强的因果关系。

Nutritional intervention is a key strategy in the control and management of non-communicable diseases. Here, initially, we evaluated the effects of carrot juice (CJ) on some of the physical and biochemical parameters in rats fed with high-fructose diet, then in type 2 diabetic subjects. For the animal study, weanling male Wistar rats were given control (n = 6) or high fructose (HFr; n = 24) diet for 8 weeks. Then, the HFr group rats were subdivided into 4 groups (n = 6 in each) and continued either on HFr diet or shifted to control diet, with or without CJ (0.3 mg β-carotene) ingestion orally for 8 weeks. At the end, the ingestion of CJ reversed the HFr-induced adiposity (23 ± 1.6 vs 18 ± 1.1, P = .038), hypertriglyceridemia (182 ± 18.2 vs 90 ± 10.5 mg/dL, P<0.001), and hyperinsulinemia (81 ± 14.7 vs 40 ± 7.5 µU/mL, P = .014), while increased the retinol levels in liver (240 ± 38.4 vs 492 ± 61.2 µg/g, P = .002) and adipose tissue (1.8 ± 0.09 vs 2.5 ± 0.18 µg/g, P = .026). On the other hand, in the diabetic subjects (7 males and females each, n = 14) compared to their baseline, the daily consumption of 50 mL CJ (~2400 µg β-carotene) for 6 weeks significantly reduced the body weight (69.4 ± 4.13 vs 69.0 ± 4.09 kg, P = .014), BMI (27.4 ± 1.07 vs 27.2 ± 1.06 kg/m2, P = .007), and fat% (33.4 ± 1.87 vs 31.9 ± 2.13, P = .029) with an increase in plasma β-carotene levels (0.21 ± 0.045 vs 0.45 ± 0.089 µmol/L, P = .044). Although CJ increased the glucose (145 ± 10.4 vs 165 ± 11.4 mg/dL, P = .039), insulin, and glycated hemoglobin levels remained unaltered. In conclusion, the consumption of carrot juice reversed the HFr-induced metabolic abnormalities in a rat model and decreased body weight and BMI of diabetic subjects.

营养干预是控制和管理非传染性疾病的一项关键战略。在这里,我们首先评估了胡萝卜汁(CJ)对喂食高果糖饮食的大鼠的一些物理和生化参数的影响,然后是2型糖尿病受试者。在动物实验中,断奶雄性Wistar大鼠被给予对照(n = 6)或高果糖(HFr;N = 24)饮食8周。然后,将HFr组大鼠再分为4组(每组6只),继续饲喂HFr饮食或转入对照组饮食,同时口服或不口服CJ (0.3 mg β-胡萝卜素),持续8周。最后,摄入CJ逆转了hfr诱导的肥胖(23±1.6 vs 18±1.1,P = 0.038),高甘油三酯血症(182±18.2 vs 90±10.5 mg/dL, PP = 0.014),同时增加了肝脏(240±38.4 vs 492±61.2µg/g, P = 0.002)和脂肪组织(1.8±0.09 vs 2.5±0.18µg/g, P = 0.026)的视黄醇水平。另一方面,在糖尿病受试者(7雄性和雌性,n = 14)与基线相比,50毫升的日常消费CJ(~ 2400µgβ-胡萝卜素)为6周显著降低体重(69.4±4.13 vs 69.0±4.09公斤,P = .014)、体重指数(27.4±1.07 vs 27.2±1.06 kg / m2, P = .007),和脂肪%(33.4±1.87 vs 31.9±2.13,P = .029)与血浆β-胡萝卜素水平(0.21±0.045 vs 0.45±0.089µmol / L, P = .044)。虽然CJ增加了血糖(145±10.4 vs 165±11.4 mg/dL, P = 0.039),但胰岛素和糖化血红蛋白水平保持不变。综上所述,胡萝卜汁的摄入逆转了大鼠模型中hfr诱导的代谢异常,并降低了糖尿病受试者的体重和BMI。

Background: We previously showed that cocoa, a rich source of polyphenols improved the age-associated health and extended the lifespan in C. elegans when supplemented starting from L1 stage.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to find out the effects of timing of cocoa exposure on longevity improving effects and the mechanisms and pathways involved in lifespan extension in C. elegans.

Methods: The standard E. coli OP50 diet of wild type C. elegans was supplemented with cocoa powder starting from different larval stages (L1, L2, L3, and L4) till the death, from L1 to adult day 1 and from adult day 1 till the death. For mechanistic studies, different mutant strains of C. elegans were supplemented with cocoa starting from L1 stage till the death. Survival curves were plotted, and mean lifespan was reported.

Results: Cocoa exposure starting from L1 stage till the death and till adult day 1 significantly extended the lifespan of worms. However, cocoa supplementation at other larval stages as well as at adulthood could not extend the lifespan, instead the lifespan was significantly reduced. Cocoa could not extend the lifespan of daf-16, daf-2, sir-2.1, and clk-1 mutants.

Conclusion: Early-start supplementation is essential for cocoa-mediated lifespan extension which is dependent on insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway and mitochondrial respiration.

背景:我们之前的研究表明,从L1期开始补充富含多酚的可可,可以改善秀丽隐杆线虫与年龄相关的健康状况,延长其寿命。目的:在本研究中,我们旨在发现可可暴露时间对秀丽隐杆线虫延长寿命的影响及其延长寿命的机制和途径。方法:在野生型秀丽隐杆线虫的标准大肠杆菌OP50日粮中添加可可粉,从幼虫期(L1、L2、L3、L4)至死亡,从L1至成虫第1天,从成虫第1天至死亡。为了进行机制研究,从L1期开始,在不同的秀丽隐杆线虫突变株中补充可可直至死亡。绘制生存曲线,并报告平均寿命。结果:可可暴露从L1期开始,直到死亡,直到成虫第1天,显著延长了线虫的寿命。然而,在其他幼虫期和成年期补充可可不能延长寿命,相反,寿命明显缩短。可可不能延长daf-16、daf-2、sir-2.1和clk-1突变体的寿命。结论:可可介导的寿命延长依赖于胰岛素/IGF-1信号通路和线粒体呼吸,早期补充可可对延长寿命至关重要。

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the link between the physical activity (PA) and cognitive function among the elderly in the health and social centers in Kenitra, Rabat, and Sidi Kacem city (Morocco).

Materials and methods: This study was conducted among 172 elderly (56.4% men) aged above 60 years (67.53 ± 7.53) in the health and social centers in Kenitra, Rabat, and Sidi Kacem city (Morocco). Cognitive functions were assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (Normal: MMSE's score >24 and cognitive impairment (CI): MMSE's score ⩽ 24). The physical activity (PA) was evaluated using the GPAQ (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire), ranking the elderly by high, moderate, and limited level of PA. The binary logistic regression was performed by the cognitive function (dependent variable), and PA level (independent variable).

Results: The elderly people with cognitive impairment (MMSE score <24 tend to practice less walking and cycling activities ( P=.005). However no difference was found between normal and cognitively impaired subjects for all other subtypes of PA (P > .05). The binary logistic regression adjusted for gender, education, profession, pension, depression, and nutritional status reveled that only the moderate level of PA was a protective factor against cognitive impairment compared to limited level (ORa = 0.136, 95% CI: 0.04-0.41) (ORa: Adjusted Odd Ratio; 95% CI: 95% of Confidence Interval).

Conclusion: Our finding demonstrates that moderate PA specially walking or cycling is associated with lower risk of cognitive impairment. This indicates that a regular practice of walking or cycling as PA can play an important role for cognitive impairment prevention. And the necessity for further researches to more understands this association.

目的:本研究的目的是确定在Kenitra, Rabat和Sidi Kacem市(摩洛哥)的健康和社会中心的老年人的身体活动(PA)和认知功能之间的联系。材料与方法:本研究在摩洛哥Kenitra、Rabat和Sidi Kacem市卫生和社会中心的172名60岁以上老年人(67.53±7.53)中进行,其中男性占56.4%。采用简易精神状态检查(MMSE)评估认知功能(正常:MMSE评分>24,认知障碍(CI): MMSE评分≥24)。采用GPAQ (Global physical activity Questionnaire)对老年人进行体力活动(PA)评估,将老年人的体力活动水平分为高、中、低三个等级。通过认知功能(因变量)和PA水平(自变量)进行二元logistic回归。结果:老年人认知功能障碍(MMSE)评分(P = 0.005)。然而,在所有其他类型的PA中,正常和认知受损受试者之间没有发现差异(P > 0.05)。经性别、教育程度、职业、养老金、抑郁和营养状况校正后的二元logistic回归分析显示,与有限水平相比,只有中等水平的PA是预防认知障碍的保护因素(ORa = 0.136, 95% CI: 0.04-0.41) (ORa:调整奇数比;95% CI: 95%的置信区间)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,适度的PA,特别是步行或骑自行车与认知障碍的风险较低有关。这表明,经常练习步行或骑自行车作为PA可以在预防认知障碍中发挥重要作用。以及进一步研究以进一步了解这种联系的必要性。

Objectives: This study examines the hormonal mediators of the effect of iodized salt in pregnancy on child cognition.

Methods: Sixty districts across 6 zones in the Amhara region of Ethiopia were randomly allocated to a control or intervention arm of early market access to iodized salt. Twenty-two villages per arm were randomly selected for this sub-study. A total of 1220 pregnant women who conceived after the intervention began were enrolled and assessed for their iodine and iron status. Data were collected once on the household socio-demographic status and iodized salt use, and maternal urinary iodine during pregnancy. Then, infants' diet, urinary iodine level, cognitive development (Bayley III), serum hormonal levels, iron status, and inflammation markers were measured between 2 and 13 months of age.

Results: The median maternal urinary iodine concentration was adequate and significantly higher in the intervention mothers than that of the controls (163 vs 121 µg/L, P < .0001). Intervention children compared to the control children had lower thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (mean: 2.4 ± 1.0 µIU/mL vs 2.7 ± 1.0 µIU/mL, effect size = 0.18, P < .01) and thyroglobulin (Tg) (41.6 ± 1.0 ng/mL vs 45.1 ± 1.0 ng/mL, effect size = 0.14, P < .05). There was an interaction between the intervention and iron stores such that cognition was higher with iron (effect size = 0.28, 100 vs 94 IQ points). TSH was a partial mediator (12%) of the effect of the intervention on child cognition (Sobel z-score = 2.1 ± 0.06, P < .05).

Conclusion: TSH partially mediated the effect of the iodized salt intervention on child cognition.

Magnitude, Trends, and Determinants of Iodized Salt Availability among Households in Ethiopia: Analysis of Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys (2000-2016). 埃塞俄比亚家庭碘盐供应的规模、趋势和决定因素:埃塞俄比亚人口和健康调查分析(2000-2016)。
IF 1.7 Q3 NUTRITION & DIETETICS Pub Date : 2021-06-15 eCollection Date: 2021-01-01 DOI: 10.1177/11786388211025342

Background: Iodine deficiency causes various health problems such as mental defects, goiter, reproductive damage, hypo and hyperthyroidism, stillbirth, abortion, congenital abnormalities, cretinism, mental retardation, muscle anomalies, and reduced work output. Although the adverse effects on health and socio-economic development are well known, they persisted as a public health problem worldwide. Salt iodization is recommended as a simple cost-effective method to prevent iodine deficiency disorders. This study aimed to determine the magnitude, trends, and determinants of iodized salt availability in the household in Ethiopia.

Methods: The current study used the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys conducted from 2000 to 2016 with a total of 57 939 households. Descriptive statistics were performed on selected background characteristics to provide an overall picture of the sample after considering sample weights. To ensure the representativeness of the sample we applied a complex sample design considering household weights, primary sampling units, and the strata associated with it. The Cochran-Armitage test was performed to assess the trend of iodized salt availability in the household. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the association between the dependent variable and independent variables. A significance level of .05 was chosen for all analyses.

Results: The magnitude of iodized salt availability in the household was 28.45% in 2000, 54.34% in 2005, 15.42% in 2011, and 89.28% in 2016. Iodized salt availability increased from 28.45% [95% CI: 27.69-29.21] in 2000 to 89.28% [95% CI: 88.79-89.75] in 2016. Despite the decline from 2005 to 2011 in the percentage of households with iodized salt, overall, there was a significant increment from 2000 to 2016 in Ethiopia (P-value <.001). There were differences in the status of salt iodization in the administrative region, wealth, family size, and ownership of radio or television.

Conclusion: Remarkable progress has been made in Ethiopia regarding iodized salt availability in recent years. Besides the current efforts to achieve universal salt iodization, future interventions should prioritize specific groups like those with lower socioeconomic status and geographic areas with lower availability of iodized salt in the household.

背景:缺碘会导致各种健康问题,如智力缺陷、甲状腺肿、生殖损伤、甲状腺功能减退和亢进、死胎、流产、先天性异常、克汀病、智力迟钝、肌肉异常和工作效率降低。虽然对健康和社会经济发展的不利影响是众所周知的,但它们仍然是全世界的一个公共卫生问题。食盐加碘被推荐为预防碘缺乏症的一种简单有效的方法。本研究旨在确定埃塞俄比亚家庭碘盐供应的规模、趋势和决定因素。方法:本研究使用了2000年至2016年进行的埃塞俄比亚人口与健康调查,共有57939户家庭。在考虑样本权重后,对选定的背景特征进行描述性统计,以提供样本的总体情况。为了确保样本的代表性,我们应用了一个复杂的样本设计,考虑到家庭权重,主要抽样单位,以及与之相关的地层。采用Cochran-Armitage检验评估家庭碘盐可用性的趋势。采用多元逻辑回归确定因变量与自变量之间的相关性。所有分析均采用显著性水平0.05。结果:2000年、2005年、2011年、2016年农户碘盐可得性分别为28.45%、54.34%、15.42%和89.28%。碘盐供应从2000年的28.45% [95% CI: 27.69-29.21]增加到2016年的89.28% [95% CI: 88.79-89.75]。尽管从2005年到2011年,拥有加碘盐的家庭比例有所下降,但总体而言,从2000年到2016年,埃塞俄比亚的加碘盐比例有了显著增长(p值)。除了目前实现普遍食盐加碘的努力外,未来的干预措施应优先考虑特定群体,如社会经济地位较低的群体和家庭中碘盐供应较低的地理区域。

Introduction: The present study investigated the association between protein intake and cognitive function in older adults.

Methods: We performed a literature search with no restriction on publication year in MEDLINE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, AgeLine from inception up to October 2020. Observational studies that investigated as a primary or secondary outcome the association of protein intake and cognitive function in older adults aged ⩾60 years were included.

Results: Nine cross-sectional studies that investigated a total of 4929 older adults were included in the qualitative analysis. Overall cognitive function was examined in 6 studies. Four investigations reported null associations and 2 studies found that older adults with a high protein intake had higher global cognitive function than their counterparts. Results from the meta-analysis suggested that there were no significant associations between protein consumption and global cognitive function in older adults, regardless of gender. Three studies investigated other cognitive domains. Memory and protein intake were significantly and positively correlated in all studies. In addition, visuospatial, verbal fluency, processing speed, and sustained attention were positively associated with protein consumption in 1 study each.

Conclusion: No significant associations between protein intake and global cognitive function were observed in neither qualitative nor quantitative analyses. The association between protein consumption with multiple other cognitive domains were also tested. As a whole, 3 studies reported a positive and significant association between high protein intake and memory, while 1 study observed a significant and positive association with visuospatial, verbal fluency, processing speed, and sustained attention.

本研究调查了老年人蛋白质摄入与认知功能之间的关系。方法:在MEDLINE、SCOPUS、CINAHL、AgeLine中检索自成立至2020年10月的文献,不限制发表年份。观察性研究将年龄大于或等于60岁的老年人中蛋白质摄入量和认知功能的关联作为主要或次要结果进行调查。结果:定性分析包括9项横断面研究,共调查了4929名老年人。在6项研究中检查了整体认知功能。四项调查报告无关联,两项研究发现高蛋白摄入量的老年人比同龄人具有更高的全球认知功能。荟萃分析的结果表明,无论性别如何,老年人的蛋白质摄入量与整体认知功能之间没有显着关联。三项研究调查了其他认知领域。在所有的研究中,记忆力与蛋白质摄入量呈显著正相关。此外,在每项研究中,视觉空间、语言流畅性、处理速度和持续注意力都与蛋白质消耗呈正相关。结论:在定性和定量分析中均未观察到蛋白质摄入与整体认知功能之间的显著关联。蛋白质摄入与多种其他认知领域之间的关系也被测试。总体而言,3项研究报告了高蛋白摄入与记忆之间的显著正相关,而1项研究发现高蛋白摄入与视觉空间、语言流畅性、处理速度和持续注意力之间存在显著正相关。

Dietary habits are a major determinant of the risk of chronic disease, particularly metabolic and endocrine disorders. Fish as a food group are a unique source of nutrients with metabolic and hormonal importance including omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, selenium, vitamin D, taurine and carnitine. Fish are also a source of high quality protein and have in general low caloric density. The impact of these nutrients on cardiovascular risk has been extensively reviewed, but the impact of fish on the broader field of endocrine and metabolic health is sometimes not sufficiently appreciated. This article aimed to summarize the impact the effect of regular fish consumption on conditions like the metabolic syndrome, obesity, diabetes, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome and the menopausal transition, which are in and of themselves significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The review revealed that scientific evidence from food science, translational research, epidemiologic studies and interventional trials shows that regular fish consumption has a positive impact on thyroid homeostasis, facilitates maintenance of a healthy body weight, reduces the magnitude of age-associated increases in blood pressure, improves glucose homeostasis helping prevent diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, and has a positive impact on muscle mass preservation among the elderly. These effects are mediated by multiple mechanisms, only some of which have been identified. For most of these effects it holds true that the potential benefits are more substantial when baseline fish consumption is low.

饮食习惯是慢性疾病风险的主要决定因素,尤其是代谢和内分泌失调。鱼类作为一类食物,是新陈代谢和荷尔蒙重要营养素的独特来源,包括欧米加-3 脂肪酸、碘、硒、维生素 D、牛磺酸和肉碱。鱼类还是优质蛋白质的来源,热量密度一般较低。这些营养素对心血管风险的影响已被广泛综述,但鱼类对更广泛的内分泌和代谢健康领域的影响有时却未得到充分重视。本文旨在总结经常食用鱼类对代谢综合征、肥胖、糖尿病、甲状腺机能减退、多囊卵巢综合征和更年期转变等疾病的影响,这些疾病本身就是全球发病率和死亡率的重要原因。综述显示,来自食品科学、转化研究、流行病学研究和干预试验的科学证据表明,经常食用鱼类对甲状腺稳态有积极影响,有利于保持健康体重,降低与年龄相关的血压升高幅度,改善葡萄糖稳态,有助于预防糖尿病和代谢综合征,并对老年人肌肉质量的保持有积极影响。这些作用是由多种机制介导的,目前只确定了其中的一些机制。就其中大多数作用而言,当鱼的基线食用量较低时,潜在的益处会更大。

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is common among children and adolescents and can be affected by several factors such as puberty and obesity.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate vitamin D status in children and adolescents and to analyse the influence of puberty and obesity on its level.

Method: A cross-sectional study was carried-out, in which clinical and biochemical data were gathered from 384 healthy children and adolescents between May 2019 to May 2020.

Results: 220 females and 164 males were enrolled (aged 7-16 years; mean ± SD: 11 ± 2.5). Vitamin D deficiency was found in 49% of the total cases and was significantly more prevalent in females than males (33.1% in female; 15.9% in male, P < .001). Mean vitamin D level was lower in obese children compared with non-obese (P < .001). Non-obese group had significantly higher levels of vitamin D in Tanner stage IV of puberty than obese individuals (20.1 ± 17.0 vs 5.4 ± 2.0) (P = .03). Vitamin D levels were significantly lower in females than males only in Tanner stage II (12.3 ± 9.0 vs 19.6 ± 16.6) (P = .005). The lowest level of Vitamin D was in Tanner stage Ⅳ-Ⅴ in boys and in Tanner stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ in girls (P < .001).

Conclusion: Puberty is an additional risk factor for vitamin D deficiency especially in girls and obese children. This increased risk, together with the fact that most important time for building a proper skeleton is during childhood and adolescent, makes it essential to monitor vitamin D in these age groups.

背景:维生素D缺乏症在儿童和青少年中很常见,可能受到青春期和肥胖等多种因素的影响。目的:本研究的目的是评估儿童和青少年的维生素D水平,并分析青春期和肥胖对其水平的影响。方法:采用横断面研究方法,收集2019年5月至2020年5月384例健康儿童青少年的临床及生化资料。结果:纳入220名女性和164名男性(年龄7-16岁;平均值±SD: 11±2.5)。在所有病例中,有49%的人缺乏维生素D,女性的患病率明显高于男性(女性为33.1%;男性15.9%,P < 0.001)。肥胖儿童的平均维生素D水平低于非肥胖儿童(P < 0.001)。非肥胖组青春期Tanner期维生素D水平显著高于肥胖组(20.1±17.0 vs 5.4±2.0)(P = 0.03)。维生素D水平仅在Tanner II期女性明显低于男性(12.3±9.0 vs 19.6±16.6)(P = 0.005)。男孩Tanner期Ⅳ~Ⅴ、女孩Tanner期Ⅱ~Ⅲ维生素D水平最低(P < 0.001)。结论:青春期是维生素D缺乏的另一个危险因素,尤其是在女孩和肥胖儿童中。由于风险增加,再加上儿童和青少年是骨骼发育最重要的时期,因此监测这些年龄段的维生素D至关重要。

Background: The vegetarian diet continues to gain recognition and popularity among people; however, few studies have considered the level of knowledge of professional dietitians about this dietary pattern.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the level of knowledge of vegetarian and nonvegetarian Peruvian dietitians regarding vegetarianism at different life stages.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. An online questionnaire based on the recommendations of the current dietary guidelines was administered to more than 400 registered dietitians. Of which, a total of 179 decided to participate in the study: 72 vegetarians and 107 nonvegetarians. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test, considering a significance level of 5%.

Results: Women represented the largest proportion of the sample. The participants demonstrated a complete and exhaustive knowledge of the definition of vegetarian diets. Regarding the risks and benefits associated with vegetarianism, the largest proportion of those who got the correct answers were vegetarians. The percentage of correct answers selected for both groups regarding the critical nutrients were less than 50%. Only 17.6% identified the correct answer regarding the risk of eating disorders of vegetarianism.

Conclusions: Dietitians did not demonstrate complete and comprehensive knowledge of the critical nutrients of vegetarianism and lack information on the risks of eating disorders from the vegetarian diet.

背景:素食越来越受到人们的认可和欢迎;然而,很少有研究考虑到专业营养师对这种饮食模式的知识水平。目的:本研究旨在比较秘鲁素食和非素食营养师在不同生命阶段的素食知识水平。方法:采用横断面研究。一份基于现行膳食指南建议的在线调查问卷对400多名注册营养师进行了调查。其中,共有179人决定参加这项研究:72名素食者和107名非素食者。数据分析采用卡方检验,考虑显著性水平为5%。结果:女性在样本中所占比例最大。参与者展示了对素食定义的完整而详尽的知识。关于素食的风险和益处,回答正确的人中素食者的比例最大。两组选择的关于关键营养素的正确答案的百分比都小于50%。只有17.6%的人正确回答了素食会导致饮食失调的风险。结论:营养师没有展示出对素食主义的关键营养素的完整和全面的知识,并且缺乏关于素食饮食失调风险的信息。
