Objective: In traditional Chinese philosophy, durian is classified as a "yang" food with heaty properties, believed to raise body temperature and blood pressure (BP) after consumption. In contrast, bananas are considered as "yin," possessing cooling effect. However, scientific evidence supporting these concepts is limited. This study aims to compare the metabolic effects in response to durian and banana ingestion.

Methods: This randomized cross-over clinical study recruited 16 young, healthy Chinese participants (8 males and 8 females). All participants ingested isocaloric portion (367.5 kcal) of durian and banana with a wash-out period of at least 5 days. 3-h thermic effect of food (TEF) and substrate oxidation were assessed by indirect calorimetry. Postprandial vital signs and metabolic responses were measured over a period of 3 h.

Results: Durian induced a higher and longer-lasting TEF than banana in most participants. Additionally, durian significantly lowered BP and increased triglyceride (TG) levels during 3 h after consumption, whereas bananas had no significant effects on these measures. Despite containing much fewer carbohydrates, durian prompted a comparable postprandial rise in blood glucose concentrations to that of banana.

Conclusion: While durian offers nutritional benefits and a BP-lowering effect, moderation is recommended due to its high sugar and fat content, which can elevate blood glucose and lipid levels, and its "heatiness" may cause digestive discomforts and a sore throat according to anecdotal experiences.

目的:在中国传统哲学中,榴莲属于 "阳 "类食物,具有热性,食用后会使体温和血压升高。相比之下,香蕉被认为是 "阴性 "食物,具有降温作用。然而,支持这些概念的科学证据有限。本研究旨在比较榴莲和香蕉对新陈代谢的影响:这项随机交叉临床研究招募了 16 名年轻、健康的中国参与者(8 男 8 女)。所有参与者均摄入等热量(367.5 千卡)的榴莲和香蕉,并经过至少 5 天的冲淡期。间接热量计评估了 3 小时食物热效应(TEF)和底物氧化作用。在 3 小时内测量餐后生命体征和代谢反应:结果:在大多数参与者中,榴莲诱导的 TEF 比香蕉更高、更持久。此外,在食用榴莲后的 3 小时内,血压明显降低,甘油三酯(TG)水平明显升高,而香蕉对这些指标没有明显影响。尽管榴莲所含的碳水化合物要少得多,但其引起的餐后血糖浓度升高与香蕉相当:结论:虽然榴莲具有营养价值和降低血压的作用,但建议适量食用,因为榴莲的糖和脂肪含量较高,会使血糖和血脂水平升高,而且根据传闻,榴莲的 "热性 "可能会引起消化不适和喉咙痛。

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of bitter melon extract supplementation on glycemia in individuals with prediabetes.

Methods: This was a 12-week randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled study where 75 adults with prediabetes were randomly allocated into the low-dose bitter melon (300 mg/day) (n = 26), high-dose bitter melon (600 mg/day) (n = 24), or control (n = 25) groups.

Results: At baseline and weeks 6 and 12, anthropometrics were measured, and fasting blood samples were obtained. The high-dose (1.05% ± 10.2%) and low-dose bitter melon (3.35% ± 13.2%) groups showed smaller increases in blood glucose levels at 12 wk, compared to the control group (11.0% ± 16.3%) (p < 0.05). A subgroup analysis of participants with age ≥ the median demonstrated a greater reduction in glycated hemoglobin at 12 wk in the high-dose bitter melon group (median change: -0.20%; IQRL: -0.20%, -0.05%) vs. the control group (median change: 0.00%; IQRL: -0.10%, 0.20%) (p = 0.017). Compliance with the interventions was >95%, and the study products were tolerated well.

Conclusion: The bitter melon extract may help maintain a healthy level of glucose in adults with prediabetes.

Background: A diet rich in fat and sugar is present in society everyday life, leading to the development of metabolic changes, especially in intestinal microbiota. Chia oil is a source of alpha-linolenic acid, which has antioxidant and anti-glycemic effects. Based on this, we hypothesized that chia oil may promote intestinal health.

Objective: The study aims to investigate the effects of chia oil on gut microbiota and intestinal health in Wistar rats fed a high-fat and high-fructose diet (HFHF).

Methods: The animals were separated into two groups and received the following diets: standard murine diet (AIN-93M) (n = 10) and HFHF (n = 20) to induce metabolic changes (phase I) during eight weeks. After that, the AIN-93M group remained unchanged, while the HFHF group was divided into two groups: HFHF (n = 10) and HFHF with chia oil (HFHF+CO) (n = 10) for ten weeks (phase II, chia oil treatment). We analyzed immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels, cecal pH, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), intestinal permeability, intestinal microbiome composition, histomorphometry, and murinometric parameters.

Results: Chia oil consumption increased alpha-linolenic acid intake, IgA levels, propionic acid production, cecum weight, goblet cell number, thickness and depth of intestinal crypts, and the thickness of both circular and longitudinal muscle layers of the colon, and decreased cecal pH. No change was observed in the alpha and beta diversity between the HFHF and HFHF+CO groups. The HFHF+CO diet increased the relative abundance of genera Lactobacillus sp., Faecalibacterium sp., and Erysipelatoclostridium sp., compared to the AIN-93M group. No difference was observed in the intestinal permeability among the groups.

Conclusion: Chia oil consumption is an alternative for improving the intestinal health of rats fed a HFHF diet.

背景:社会日常生活中存在着富含脂肪和糖的饮食,导致代谢变化的发展,特别是肠道微生物群的变化。奇亚油是α -亚麻酸的来源,具有抗氧化和降糖作用。基于此,我们假设奇亚油可能促进肠道健康。目的:研究奇亚油对高脂高果糖饲粮Wistar大鼠肠道菌群和肠道健康的影响。方法:将实验动物分为两组,分别饲喂标准鼠饲粮(AIN-93M) (n = 10)和HFHF (n = 20),诱导代谢变化(ⅰ期)8周。之后,AIN-93M组保持不变,而HFHF组分为两组:HFHF (n = 10)和HFHF加奇亚油(HFHF+CO) (n = 10),持续10周(II期,奇亚油治疗)。我们分析了免疫球蛋白A (IgA)水平、盲肠pH、短链脂肪酸(SCFAs)、肠道通透性、肠道微生物组组成、组织形态学和微量测量参数。结果:食用蓖麻油增加了-亚麻酸摄入量、IgA水平、丙酸产量、盲肠重量、杯状细胞数量、肠隐窝厚度和深度以及结肠环形和纵向肌层厚度,并降低了盲肠ph。HFHF组和HFHF+CO组之间α和β多样性没有变化。与AIN-93M组相比,HFHF+CO饲粮增加了乳酸菌属、Faecalibacterium sp.和丹毒梭状芽胞杆菌sp.的相对丰度。各组间肠通透性无明显差异。结论:食用蓖麻油可改善hhff饲粮大鼠的肠道健康。

Objective: Since exam periods are used as a benchmark to determine academic achievement, they may result in increased anxiety, changes in dietary behavior, weight fluctuations and increased gastrointestinal symptoms in students. For this reason, this research was conducted to evaluate the effect of test anxiety on nutritional status and gastrointestinal symptoms in adolescents.

Methods: This study was conducted with 104 senior high school students who agreed to participate in the study in a private and public school in Ankara 7 months before the exam and 1 month before the exam to evaluate the effect of exam anxiety on nutritional status and gastrointestinal symptoms of students preparing for the university exam. Health status, nutritional status, anthropometric measurements, information about exam anxiety, International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, Test Anxiety Inventory, Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, Food Frequency Questionnarie (FFQ) were asked to the students.

Results: In both genders, the mean BMI-Z score increased during the second evaluation, indicating a significant difference in various dietary and lifestyle factors such as meal frequency, water intake, and nutrient intake. Most students were classified as minimally active. Additionally, the total score of affective, delusional, and test anxiety inventory increased closer to the exam date. Weak positive correlations were observed between gastrointestinal symptoms and affective, delusional, and test anxiety scores during the first evaluation, while a moderately strong positive correlation emerged during the second evaluation.

Conclusion: The results of the current study support that students experience increased gastrointestinal symptoms during the exam period. Nutrition and stress reduction educations should be given in high schools both during and before the exam period in a multidisciplinary team consisted of dietitians and psychologists in order to provide healthy stress management.

目的:由于考试时间被用作衡量学习成绩的基准,因此可能导致学生焦虑增加、饮食行为改变、体重波动和胃肠道症状增加。因此,本研究旨在评估考试焦虑对青少年营养状况和胃肠道症状的影响。方法:本研究选取安卡拉一所私立和公立学校的104名同意参加研究的高中生为研究对象,在考试前7个月和考试前1个月评估考试焦虑对准备大学考试的学生营养状况和胃肠道症状的影响。对学生进行健康状况、营养状况、人体测量、考试焦虑情况、国际体育活动问卷、考试焦虑量表、胃肠症状评定量表、食物频率问卷等调查。结果:在第二次评估中,男女的平均BMI-Z评分均有所增加,表明在膳食和生活方式因素如用餐频率、饮水量和营养摄入方面存在显著差异。大多数学生被归类为轻度活动。此外,情感、妄想和考试焦虑量表的总分随着考试日期的临近而增加。在第一次评估中,胃肠道症状与情感、妄想和考试焦虑得分呈弱正相关,而在第二次评估中出现了中等强的正相关。结论:本研究结果支持学生在考试期间胃肠道症状增加。应在高中考试期间和考试前由一个由营养师和心理学家组成的多学科小组提供营养和减轻压力的教育,以便提供健康的压力管理。

Objective: The potential adverse effects of dietary creatine on kidney health are rarely addressed at the population level, particularly in individuals with preexisting kidney disease. This study aimed to evaluate the association between dietary creatine intake and serum cystatin C levels in participants with and without kidney failure, utilizing data from the 1999-2001 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) round.

Method: A total of 4969 individuals (50.0% female; mean age 51.2 ± 23.9 years) who provided information on dietary creatine intake and had serum cystatin C levels measured were included in the final analysis.

Results: Linear regression across the entire sample revealed a significant inverse association between daily creatine intake and cystatin C concentrations (unstandardized B = -0.003; ß = -0.067; p < 0.001), indicating that for each additional milligram of creatine intake, the expected reduction in cystatin C levels was 0.003 mg/dL. In a subsample of respondents with kidney dysfunction, a significant negative association was found between creatine intake and cystatin C levels (unstandardized B = -0.024; ß = -0.165; p = 0.046).

Conclusions: Findings suggest that food-derived creatine does not pose a risk of kidney stress, even for individuals with kidney failure, and might be considered a renoprotective nutrient.

目的:膳食肌酸对肾脏健康的潜在不良影响很少在人群水平上得到解决,特别是在已有肾脏疾病的个体中。本研究利用1999-2001年全国健康与营养调查(NHANES)的数据,旨在评估肾衰竭患者和非肾衰竭患者饮食肌酸摄入量与血清胱抑素C水平之间的关系。方法:共4969只,其中雌性50.0%;平均年龄51.2±23.9岁),提供膳食肌酸摄入信息并测定血清胱抑素C水平的患者被纳入最终分析。结果:整个样本的线性回归显示,每日肌酸摄入量与胱抑素C浓度之间存在显著的负相关(未标准化B = -0.003;ß = -0.067;p B = -0.024;ß = -0.165;p = 0.046)。结论:研究结果表明,食物来源的肌酸不会造成肾脏压力的风险,即使对肾功能衰竭的个体,也可能被认为是一种肾保护营养素。

Examining the Efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Interventions in Treating Obesity, Obesity-Related Eating Disorders, and Diabetes Mellitus. 研究以正念为基础的干预措施在治疗肥胖症、与肥胖相关的饮食失调和糖尿病方面的功效。
IF 6.8 4区 医学 Q1 NUTRITION & DIETETICS Pub Date : 2025-05-01 Epub Date: 2024-11-18 DOI: 10.1080/27697061.2024.2428290

Mindfulness is the practice of focusing one's attention and energy on the present moment with an accepting attitude and an open mindset. Its adoption is increasingly utilized in addressing health concerns, particularly in the realm of nutrition. Mindful eating seeks to adjust disordered eating patterns by cultivating intentional awareness of the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of eating. Mindfulness techniques may involve meditation, breathing exercises, and simply being more attentive in daily activities. Integrating mindfulness into a nutrition strategy may improve digestion, foster a healthier relationship with food, and lead to making better choices aligned with overall well-being. This critical review aims to examine recent prevailing studies on the effects of mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) on weight regulation, eating disorders related to obesity, emotional eating, and diabetes management. For the methods section, the study utilized the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, employing the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) descriptors. The search included articles published up to September 2024, resulting in a total of 122 articles gathered using various keyword combinations. Results show that out of the 122 studies, 28 articles were common, leaving a total of 94 articles. They included 33 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 17 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 11 observational studies, 14 reviews, and 19 others. The findings from these studies demonstrate the positive impact of MBI on conditions such as binge eating disorder, weight loss, emotional eating, and diabetes-related issues. In conclusion, the review supports the growing evidence suggesting that the incorporation of mindfulness can play a crucial role in managing obesity, eating disorders, and their associated consequences. However, further research is necessary to establish a definitive understanding of its effectiveness and how to integrate it into healthcare practices.

正念是一种以接纳的态度和开放的心态将注意力和精力集中在当下的做法。它越来越多地被用于解决健康问题,尤其是在营养领域。正念进食旨在通过培养对进食的生理、心理和情感方面的有意识,调整紊乱的进食模式。正念技巧可能包括冥想、呼吸练习以及在日常活动中更加专注。将正念融入营养策略中可以改善消化,促进与食物建立更健康的关系,从而做出更符合整体健康的选择。本评论旨在探讨近期关于正念干预(MBI)对体重调节、与肥胖相关的饮食紊乱、情绪化饮食和糖尿病管理的影响的研究。在方法部分,本研究利用谷歌学术(Google Scholar)和PubMed数据库,并使用了医学主题词表(MeSH)描述符。搜索包括截至 2024 年 9 月发表的文章,通过各种关键词组合共收集到 122 篇文章。结果显示,在这 122 篇研究中,有 28 篇文章是常见的,总共有 94 篇文章。其中包括 33 篇随机对照试验 (RCT)、17 篇系统综述和荟萃分析、11 篇观察性研究、14 篇综述和 19 篇其他文章。这些研究结果表明,MBI 对暴饮暴食症、体重减轻、情绪化饮食和糖尿病相关问题等病症有积极影响。总之,综述支持越来越多的证据表明,正念的融入可以在控制肥胖、进食障碍及其相关后果方面发挥至关重要的作用。然而,要想明确了解正念的有效性以及如何将其融入医疗保健实践中,还需要进一步的研究。

Objective: To explore the association between oxidative balance score (OBS) and osteoporosis risk, as well as to identify the specific population group.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included the data of 5,413 participants using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 2013-2014 and 2017-2018. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves, logistic regression models, trend tests, and stratification analyses were used to evaluate the association between the OBS and osteoporosis risk. Generalized linear models (GLM) were used to identify independent factors related to OBS. Finally, whether OBS played a mediating role in osteoporosis was evaluated using a mediation analysis.

Results: Patients with osteoporosis had a lower OBS, and a high OBS score was associated with a decreased risk of osteoporosis (p < 0.05). Further stratification analysis revealed that the relationship between OBS and osteoporosis was robust in the three models in female patients aged < 70 years, which was validated using a trend test (p < 0.05). Age and sex were independent predictors of osteoporosis and the OBS. The OBS was a mediator in the association between sex, but not age, and disease.

Conclusion: Our findings indicate a negative relationship between OBS and osteoporosis risk, which was pronounced in younger women and individuals aged < 70 years. Moreover, sex may be related to osteoporosis through the regulation of OBS.

目的:探讨氧化平衡评分(OBS)与骨质疏松风险的关系,并确定特定人群。方法:在本横断面研究中,我们使用2013-2014年和2017-2018年国家健康与营养检查调查纳入了5413名参与者的数据。使用限制性三次样条(RCS)曲线、logistic回归模型、趋势检验和分层分析来评估OBS与骨质疏松症风险之间的关系。采用广义线性模型(GLM)识别与OBS相关的独立因素。最后,通过中介分析评估OBS是否在骨质疏松症中起中介作用。结果:骨质疏松患者的OBS评分较低,高OBS评分与骨质疏松风险降低相关(p p)结论:我们的研究结果表明OBS与骨质疏松风险呈负相关,这在年轻女性和年龄< 70岁的个体中表现明显。此外,性别可能通过OBS的调节与骨质疏松有关。

Objective: This study aimed to examine the association of nutritional literacy levels and sustainable nutritional behaviors with the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in the Turkish adult population.

Methods: Sociodemographic information, disease history, nutritional habits, and physical activity levels of 3146 volunteer individuals (male = 1590, female = 1556) between the ages of 40-75 were collected using a questionnaire form and face-to-face interviews. The sustainable nutritional behaviors of the participants were evaluated using Turkish validated scales for Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behavior (SHE) and nutritional literacy levels with the Evaluation Instrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults (EINLA). Cardiovascular disease risks of the participants were assessed with the Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Estimator program and the Heart Score (SCORE) scale and type-2 diabetes risk with the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC). Each participant's 24-h food consumption record was obtained using the retrospective recall method.

Results: It was determined that ASCVD and SCORE levels were significantly higher in males compared to females. It was observed that individuals with lower cardiovascular and diabetes risk scores had higher educational levels, and the risks increased significantly with age (p < 0.05). Anthropometric measurements such as body mass index, and waist hip circumference were significantly higher in those with higher cardiovascular and diabetes risk scores. Furthermore, in individuals with higher SCORE and FINDRISC levels, SHE and EINLA scores were significantly lower (p < 0.05). It was also observed that SCORE and diabetes risk scores increased with higher energy and macronutrient intakes.

Conclusion: The risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes was associated with sustainable nutritional behaviors and nutritional literacy. It may be suggested that increasing nutritional literacy and encouraging sustainable nutritional behaviors may be effective strategies in the management and reduction of the prevalence of certain chronic diseases.KEY TEACHING POINTSCardiovascular diseases and diabetes are two major chronic conditions that can be managed and treated through proper nutrition.Increased nutritional literacy levels and sustainable dietary habits may result in reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.Nutritionists should assess the patients' nutrition literacy levels and implement sustainable, health-focused nutrition education programs to enhance their understanding of nutrition.

目的:本研究旨在研究土耳其成年人营养素养水平和可持续营养行为与心血管疾病和糖尿病风险的关系。方法:采用问卷调查和面对面访谈相结合的方式,收集年龄在40 ~ 75岁之间的3146名志愿者(男1590人,女1556人)的社会人口学信息、疾病史、营养习惯、身体活动水平等。采用土耳其认证的可持续健康饮食行为(SHE)量表和成人营养素养评估工具(EINLA)对参与者的可持续营养行为进行评估。参与者的心血管疾病风险采用动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)风险评估程序和心脏评分(Score)量表进行评估,2型糖尿病风险采用芬兰糖尿病风险评分(FINDRISC)进行评估。采用回顾性召回法获得每个参与者的24小时食物消耗记录。结果:确定男性的ASCVD和SCORE水平明显高于女性。研究发现,心血管疾病和糖尿病风险得分越低的个体受教育程度越高,且随着年龄的增长,患心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险显著增加(p)。这可能表明,提高营养素养和鼓励可持续的营养行为可能是管理和减少某些慢性疾病流行的有效策略。心血管疾病和糖尿病是两种主要的慢性疾病,可以通过适当的营养来控制和治疗。提高营养知识水平和可持续的饮食习惯可降低患心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险。营养学家应评估患者的营养素养水平,并实施可持续的、以健康为重点的营养教育计划,以提高他们对营养的理解。

Background: Common gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as abdominal pain, indigestion, and constipation affect a significant portion of the global population and can substantially impair quality of life. Despite these widespread issues, research specifically investigating the effects of walnuts on gut function and GI symptoms remain limited.

Objective: This study investigates the effects of walnuts on gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy adults.

Design: An experimental baseline-end study with an equivalent group design was employed.

Setting: The experimental group consumed 42 grams of walnuts daily, and their gastrointestinal symptoms were compared with those of a control group that did not consume walnuts over a 3-week period.

Participants: Sixty university students were recruited as volunteer subjects, consisting of 30 males and 30 females.

Intervention(s): Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group.

Main outcome measure(s): The independent variable was walnut consumption, and the dependent variable was gastrointestinal health, assessed using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) and a qualitative questionnaire to collect participants' perceived changes in GI symptoms.

Analysis: A t-test with a p-value of less than 0.05 and verbatim analysis were utilized.

Results: This mixed-methods study provides evidence for the beneficial effects of walnuts in promoting normal digestive function.

Conclusions and implications: The study provides alternative evidence for the beneficial effects of walnuts in promoting normal digestive function.

背景:常见的胃肠道(GI)症状,如腹痛、消化不良和便秘,影响着全球很大一部分人口,并可能严重损害生活质量。尽管存在这些普遍存在的问题,专门调查核桃对肠道功能和胃肠道症状影响的研究仍然有限。目的:探讨核桃对健康成人胃肠症状的影响。设计:采用等效组设计的实验基线-终点研究。设置:实验组每天食用42克核桃,在3周的时间内,将他们的胃肠道症状与不食用核桃的对照组进行比较。参与者:60名大学生被招募为志愿者,包括30名男性和30名女性。干预:参与者被随机分配到实验组和对照组。主要结果测量:自变量为核桃摄入量,因变量为胃肠道健康,采用胃肠道症状评定量表(GSRS)和定性问卷来评估参与者对胃肠道症状的感知变化。分析:采用p值小于0.05的t检验,采用逐字分析。结果:本研究为核桃促进正常消化功能的有益作用提供了证据。结论和意义:本研究为核桃在促进正常消化功能方面的有益作用提供了替代证据。

Objective: We explored potential relationships between dietary live microbe intake and chronic diarrhea (CD) and fecal incontinence (FI).

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Participants were categorized into three groups according to the Sanders classification system (low, medium, and high dietary live microbe groups). CD and FI were defined using a bowel health questionnaire. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were performed on weighted data to explore potential relationships.

Results: In univariate logistic regression analyses, participants in the high dietary live microbe group exhibited a lower CD prevalence when compared to those in the low group (odds ratio (OR) = 0.58, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.43-0.79). After adjusting for covariates, model 2 (OR = 0.69 95% CI: 0.49-0.96) and model 3 (OR = 0.66 95% CI: 0.45-0.96) data were consistent with model 1 data. No significant association was identified between dietary live microbe intake and FI. Withal, subgroup analyses revealed significant associations between high dietary live microbes and CD in males or participants without abdominal obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and sleep disorder (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: In this cross-sectional study, consuming foods rich in live microbes may exert positive effects on CD risk. This finding may facilitate new management strategies for CD.

目的:探讨饮食中活微生物摄入与慢性腹泻(CD)和大便失禁(FI)之间的潜在关系。方法:基于国家健康与营养检查调查(NHANES)数据库,我们进行了一项横断面回顾性研究。根据Sanders分类系统将参与者分为三组(低、中、高膳食活微生物组)。通过肠道健康问卷确定CD和FI。对加权数据进行逻辑回归和限制性三次样条(RCS)分析以探索潜在的关系。结果:在单变量logistic回归分析中,高饮食活微生物组的参与者与低饮食活微生物组的参与者相比,CD患病率较低(优势比(OR) = 0.58, 95%可信区间(CI): 0.43-0.79)。调整协变量后,模型2 (OR = 0.69 95% CI: 0.49-0.96)和模型3 (OR = 0.66 95% CI: 0.45-0.96)数据与模型1数据一致。饲料中活微生物摄入量与FI之间无显著相关性。此外,亚组分析显示,在男性或没有腹部肥胖、高血压、糖尿病和睡眠障碍的参与者中,高饮食活微生物与乳糜泻之间存在显著关联(p结论:在这项横断面研究中,食用富含活微生物的食物可能对乳糜泻风险有积极影响。这一发现可能有助于制定新的CD管理策略。
