Incorporating the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Vegetable Recommendations into the Diet Alters Dietary Intake Patterns of Other Foods and Improves Diet Quality in Adults with Overweight and Obesity

BackgroundUnderstanding how vegetables are incorporated into the diet, especially in the types and amounts recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and how this alters dietary intake patterns is vital for developing targeted behavior change interventions.ObjectiveTo determine how a provision of vegetables was incorporated into the diet of adults with overweight and obesity; whether or not the provided vegetables displaced other foods; and what, if any, effect this had on diet quality and body weight and composition.DesignThis study investigated secondary outcomes from the Motivating Value of Vegetables Study, a community-based, randomized, parallel, nonblinded controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to a provided vegetable intervention or attention control group using a one to one allocation ratio.Participants/settingMen and women with self-reported low vegetable consumption, aged 18 to 65 years, with a body mass index ≥25 were recruited from Grand Forks, ND, between October 2015 and September 2017. Only participants randomized to the provided vegetable intervention group (n = 51; attrition = 8%) were included in this secondary analysis.InterventionDietary Guidelines for Americans recommended types and amounts of vegetables were provided weekly for 8 weeks.Main outcome measuresHow the provided vegetables were incorporated into the diet was measured using daily self-report and 24-hour dietary recalls. Diet quality was assessed via the Healthy Eating Index 2015. Body weight and composition were measured before and after the intervention.Statistical analyses performedData were assessed using generalized linear mixed models where phase (pre, post) was the within-subject factor and subject was the random effect.ResultsParticipants self-reported using 29% of the provided vegetables as substitutes for other foods. With the increase in vegetable consumption, there were decreases in total grains (mean difference ± standard deviation; –0.97 ± 3.23 oz-equivalents; P = 0.02), protein foods (–1.24 ± 3.86 oz-equivalents; P = 0.01), saturated fats (–6.44 ± 19.63 g; P = 0.02), and added sugars (–2.44 ± 6.78 tsp-equivalents; P = 0.02) consumed. Total Healthy Eating Index 2015 scores increased (+4.48 ± 9.63; P = 0.001) and dietary energy density decreased (–0.44 ± 0.52 kcal/g; P < 0.0001). There was no change in total energy intake or body weight and composition.ConclusionsIncreasing vegetable consumption to meet Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations alters dietary intake patterns, improving diet quality and energy density. These findings highlight the importance of characterizing how individuals incorporate Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations into their diet.     

Obesity in early onset breast cancer in African American patients

Obesity is a modifiable risk factor in breast cancer patients and is predictive of disease outcomes in early-onset breast cancer survivors. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence in the association between early-onset breast cancer and obesity, specifically in African-American women. Reviewing the molecular mechanisms and social determinants of disease in this population can provide a foundation for future interventions in prevention, detection, and treatment aiming at improving outcomes for young breast cancer patients.     

上海市居民期望寿命与健康期望寿命的差异分析

目的 分析不同年龄、性别的上海市居民期望寿命和健康期望寿命的差异。方法 分析比较上海市和全球长寿国家/地区期望寿命的变化趋势;利用全球疾病负担研究建立的疾病和健康结局的失能权重,应用Sullivan法测算上海市居民健康期望寿命,并分析不同年龄、性别人群的健康寿命损失。结果 近40年,上海市期望寿命增长了10.86岁,2016年上海市居民期望寿命为83.18岁,其中男性80.83岁,女性85.61岁。健康期望寿命为69.46岁,其中男性为68.68岁,女性为70.23岁;与期望寿命的差距分别为13.72、12.15和15.38岁;分别占期望寿命的16.49%、15.02%和17.97%。与期望寿命相同,各年龄组女性的健康期望寿命均高于男性,平均差距为1.76岁,两者差距在20~24岁组最小为1.36岁,70~74岁组最大为2.24岁。健康期望寿命损失率随着年龄的上升而上升,<65岁女性高于男性,≥65岁则相反。结论 上海市期望寿命已达世界领先水平,但健康寿命损失较大,需要在降低死亡率的基础上进一步提高寿命质量,尤其是女性和≥65岁男性是重点关注人群。     

Older adults' vaccine hesitancy: Psychosocial factors associated with influenza,pneumococcal, and shingles vaccine uptake

Influenza, pneumococcal disease, and shingles (herpes zoster) are more prevalent in older people. These illnesses are preventable via vaccination, but uptake is low and decreasing. Little research has focused on understanding the psychosocial reasons behind older adults’ hesitancy towards different vaccines. A cross-sectional survey with 372 UK-based adults aged 65–92 years (M = 70.5) assessed awareness and uptake of the influenza, pneumococcal, and shingles vaccines. Participants provided health and socio-demographic data and completed two scales measuring the psychosocial factors associated with vaccination behaviour. Self-reported daily functioning, cognitive difficulties, and social support were also assessed. Participants were additionally given the opportunity to provide free text responses outlining up to three main reasons for their vaccination decisions. We found that considerably more participants had received the influenza vaccine in the last 12 months (83.6%), relative to having ever received the pneumococcal (60.2%) and shingles vaccines (58.9%). Participants were more aware of their eligibility for the influenza vaccine, and were more likely to have been offered it. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that a lower sense of collective responsibility independently predicted lack of uptake of all three vaccines. Greater calculation of disease and vaccination risk, and preference for natural immunity, also predicted not getting the influenza vaccine. For both the pneumococcal and shingles vaccines, concerns about profiteering further predicted lack of uptake. Analysis of the qualitative responses highlighted that participants vaccinated to protect their own health and that of others. Our findings suggest that interventions targeted towards older adults would benefit from being vaccine-specific and that they should emphasise disease risks and vaccine benefits for the individual, as well as the benefits of vaccination for the wider community. These findings can help inform intervention development aimed at increasing vaccination uptake in future.     

我国中老年慢性病患者自评健康状况及影响因素研究——基于个人-家庭-社会视角

目的 了解我国中老年慢性病人群健康自评状况及其影响因素,为提高该人群健康水平提供参考。方法 以2018年全国性调查数据（CFPS）为基础,从个人-家庭-社会视角构建4个分析模型,采用二元logistic回归法,分析45岁及以上慢性病患者健康自评的影响因素。结果 自评为健康者占35.96%,自评为非健康者占64.04%。二元logistic 回归显示,有伴侣（P=0.034,OR=1.075）,受教育程度在大专/本科及以上（P=0.003,OR=1.802）选择在基层卫生服务机构就医（P=0.030,OR=1.198）,对医生更信任（P=0.037,OR=1.228）,心理健康水平较好（P＜0.001,OR=3.013）,生活独立水平较高（P＜0.001,OR=1.203）,睡眠时间在＞6～10小时（P=0.030,OR=1.942）,一周锻炼时长在＞7～14小时（P=0.037,OR=2.146）,家庭年收入在＞10～20万元（P=0.032,OR=0.753）,与子女关系更密切（P=0.028,OR=2.738）,拥有额外房产（P=0.003,OR=1.686）,使用移动设备社交（P=0.025,OR=1.269）,对邻里更信任（P=0.035,OR=1.032）,人缘关系较好（P=0.001,OR=1.599）,社会地位较高（P=0.025 OR=1.226）,幸福感较高（P=0.014,OR=1.451）均为中老年慢性病患者健康自评的保护因素。结论 我国中老年慢性病人群的健康自评水平不高,应发挥基层卫生服务机构、互联网的正向作用并对空巢、失能等慢性病人群予以关注。

正气辨析

正气属中医学的气学范围,是一身之气或人气相对邪气时的称谓,是指人体内具有抗病、祛邪、调节、修复等作用的一类细微物质;正气以其运动而发挥防御、调节、修复等作用,具有物质运动的自然科学属性。正气分布到腑腑经络,则为脏腑经络之气;分布到脉之内外,则为营气和卫气。脏腑经络之气和营卫之气的防御、修复和调节作用,可因其构成成分和所在部位的不同而有所区别,但都是正气的功能体现。
