Nutritional Studies and Diet

Improving DASH adherence after midlife promotes better late-life cognition and brain health: the SG70 Study

This study shows that better adherence to the DASH diet in midlife and early elderhood improves late-life verbal memory and brain health through structural and neurovascular mechanisms.

Dietary Patterns and Gene Expression Profiles in Gastric Adenocarcinoma Patients from the Northern Region of Brazil

This study examines dietary patterns in gastric adenocarcinoma patients and identifies differentially expressed genes linked to dietary risk exposure.

Optimization-based dietary recommendations for healthy eating

This paper develops an optimization-based dietary recommendation approach to improve diet scores using simulated annealing and evaluates it on Diet-Microbiome Association study data.

Food pairing independently associated with cardiometabolic traits beyond dietary patterns across western and eastern populations

This study identifies food pairing patterns linked to cardiometabolic traits across populations, showing their independent association beyond single-food effects and dietary indices.

Dietaryindex: A User-Friendly and Versatile R Package for Standardizing Dietary Pattern Analysis in Epidemiological and Clinical Studies

The paper develops and validates dietaryindex, an R package for standardized dietary pattern analysis, showing full accuracy in calculations compared to manual and existing methods.

Mediterranean Diet Protects Against a Neuroinflammatory Transcriptome in Temporal Cortex: Associations with Brain Volumetrics, Peripheral Inflammation, Social Isolation, and Anxiety in Nonhuman Primates

This study shows Mediterranean diets reduce neuroinflammation and protect brain structure and behavior in nonhuman primates by altering gene expression in the temporal cortex.

Nutritional redundancy in the human diet and its application in phenotype association studies

The paper identifies nutritional redundancy in dietary intake and shows its association with lower risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes after adjusting for age.

Amino acid variability, tradeoffs and optimality in human diet

This study maps amino acid content in human diets, identifies health trade-offs, and constructs a Pareto front for optimal dietary protein intake.

Effect of MIND Diet Intervention on Cognitive Performance and Brain Structure in Healthy Obese Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study investigates the effect of a MIND diet on cognitive performance and brain structure in healthy obese women, finding improvements in memory and attention and changes in brain morphology.

Contrasting Effects of Western vs. Mediterranean Diets on Monocyte Inflammatory Gene Expression and Social Behavior in a Primate Model

This study examines how Western and Mediterranean diets affect monocyte gene expression and social behavior in macaques, finding proinflammatory gene changes and behavioral differences.

Engaging the complexity of diet and healthy aging in humans

This study uses nutritional geometry to analyze how dietary patterns affect aging in 1560 older adults, finding that optimal nutrient levels are often intermediate and context-dependent.

Lower intake of animal-based products links to improved weight status, independent of depressive symptoms and personality in the general population

The paper examines the relationship between animal-based product intake, weight status, depressive symptoms, and personality traits in a general population cohort.
