Background: Studies show a high prevalence of osteoporosis and fracture risk in kidney transplant candidates and recipients. However, little is known about the prevalence of osteoporosis among transplant recipients and candidates living with HIV.

Background: The increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases and obesity is associated with excessive consumption of sugar. To address this concern the taxation of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), known as the Health Promotion Levy (HPL), was implemented in South Africa in April 2018.

The Global Burden of Disease Study group recently stated that poor-quality diets are now the leading cause of disease worldwide. Consumer education by means of food product labelling can guide the consumer decision-making process, encourage consumers to make informed healthier food choices, and thus help to alleviate the burden of disease. Food labelling can also assist producers to promote their products based on the nutritional benefits that they offer. However, consumers’ understanding of labelling and what this means to them may hinder the good intentions of accurately crafted labels. A label is a producer’s main form of communication with consumers and can sway a consumer to either consume or reject a food product.

Both the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) in their published guidelines agreed that indirect calorimetry (IC) should be used to determine energy requirements in the critically ill patients, where feasible and available. 3 However, ESPEN advocated a progressive implementation of energy provision. In this approach, hypocaloric nutrition not exceeding 70% of energy expenditure, in the early phase of acute illness was recommended. Provision of 80–100% of requirements should only be implemented after 72 hours following admission. In the absence of IC, ASPEN and ESPEN suggest that simple weight-based equations be used. 3 The ASPEN 2016 guidelines gave a range of 25–30 kCal/kg/day. ESPEN however suggested that hypocaloric nutrition support, below 70% of estimated needs, should be continued for the first week of ICU stay when weight-based equations are being used. The reasoning behind progressively increasing energy provision in the critical care setting by ESPEN is based on earlier data (Tappy et al. 1998), which showed that exogenous glucose provision does not suppress endogenous glucose production. Endogenous energy production, which occurs in the early phase of critical illness, can provide 500–1 400 kCal/day. 4 Currently, it is not possible to measure this endogenous production at the point-of-care, however providing full measured or calculated requirements during this stage would result in overfeeding. 4
