Assessment of dietary exposure related to dietary GI and fibre intake in a nutritional metabolomic study of human urine.

ABSTRACT: There is a need for a tool to assess dietary intake related to the habitual dietary glycaemic index (GI) and fibre in groups with large numbers of individuals. Novel metabolite-profiling techniques may be a useful approach when applied to human urine. In a long-term, controlled dietary intervention study, metabolomics were applied to assess dietary patterns. A targeted approach was used to evaluate the effects on urinary C-peptide excretion caused by the dietary treatments. Seventy-seven overweight subjects followed an 8-week low-calorie diet (LCD) and were then randomly assigned to a high-GI or low-GI diet for 6 month during which they completed 24-h urine collections at baseline (prior to the 8-week LCD) and after randomisation to the dietary intervention, at month 1, 3 and 6, respectively. Metabolite profiling in 24-h urine was performed by (1)H NMR and chemometrics. Partial least squares (PLS) analysis indicated that urinary formate could discriminate between high-GI and low-GI diets (correlation coefficient r = 0.82), and this finding was confirmed statistically (P = 0.01). PLS analysis also indicated that urinary hippurate could be associated with fibre intake, but this finding was not confirmed statistically. No associations between GI and urinary C-peptide were found. Our results emphasise that application of metabolomics is useful in the assessment of dietary exposure related to dietary GI and fibre seen at group level in a nutritional metabolomic study of human urine. As our design allowed for large variations in individually selected food items, biomarkers identified at group level may be interpreted as more general and robust markers, largely not confounded with markers from single dietary factors.

Project description:There is no complete explanation for the association between socioeconomic status (SES), fibre, and whole diet described by dietary patterns. The aim of this short report was to increase the understanding of adolescent dietary patterns related to fibre in their social context. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1176 adolescents aged 13-18 years from central and north-eastern Poland. The overall SES was composed of five single factors: place of residence, self-declared economic situation of family, self-declared economic situation of household, paternal and maternal education. The consumption frequency of nine dietary fibre sources was collected using Block's questionnaire and was expressed in points. Fibre dietary patterns (DPs) were drawn by cluster analysis and odds ratios (ORs) adjusted for age, sex, and BMI were calculated. Three fibre-related DPs were identified: "High-fibre" (mean frequency of total fibre intake 22.7 points; range: 0-36), "Average-fibre" (17.7 points), "Low-fibre" (14.6 points). The "High-fibre" DP was characterized by a relatively higher frequency consumption of white bread, fruit, fruit or vegetable juices, potatoes, green salad and prepared vegetables, and a moderate frequency consumption of high-fibre or bran cereals and wholegrain bread compared to the "Low-fibre" DP. The "Average-fibre" DP was characterized by a relatively higher frequency consumption of wholegrain bread and high-fibre or bran cereals and a moderate frequency consumption of fruit, fruit or vegetable juices, green salad and prepared vegetables compared to the "Low-fibre" DP. Less likely to adhere to the "High-fibre" DP were adolescents with low SES (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.39-0.77) or average SES (0.58, 95% CI: 0.41-0.81) in comparison with high SES (reference) as a result of elementary or secondary paternal or maternal education, rural residence, and lower household economic situation. Similar associations were found for the "Average-fibre" DP. Low and average socioeconomic status resulting from lower parents' education, rural residence, and lower economic situation were inversely associated with achieving a relatively high fibre intake in Polish adolescents. Consuming single high-fibre foods was not sufficient to achieve a high-fibre diet in Polish adolescents. These data suggest that the consumption of a wide variety of dietary fibre sources-both relatively high-fibre and low-fibre foods-may help Polish adolescents in achieving a relatively high-fibre diet.

Project description:BackgroundMalnutrition is common in patients with COPD; however, little is known about its impacts on health-related quality of life (QoL) among patients with COPD. This study aimed to explore the nutritional status and dietary intake among outpatients with COPD in Vietnam and its possible associations with QoL.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out in COPD outpatients visiting the COPD management unit at the National Lung Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam between May 2017 and July 2017. Consecutive outpatients with a confirmed diagnosis of COPD were recruited with written inform consent. The nutritional status of participants was assessed using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), and dietary intake via a 24-hour recall interview. The St George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) for COPD was used to investigate the participants' QoL. Sociodemographic and clinical data were extracted from hospital records.ResultsOf 168 COPD outpatients involved in the study, three-quarters (74.4%) were diagnosed as malnourished (SGA B/C) and 81.5% reported unintentional weight loss. Most of the patients did not meet their estimated energy and protein requirements (85.7% and 89.9%, respectively). Malnutrition was significantly associated with disease severity (P=0.039) and ratio of protein intake to estimated requirement (P=0.005). QoL was low for all levels of malnutrition or disease severity, with well-nourished participants and those with less disease severity having better QoL (P=0.006 and P<0.001, respectively). With an extra meal per day, the odds of having malnutrition decreased 5.6 times (P<0.05) and the total SGRQ reduced 3.61 scores (P<0.05) indicating a better QoL.ConclusionMalnutrition and weight loss are prevalent among COPD outpatients. Most of the patients had inadequate dietary intake and low QoL. Nutrition counselling including increasing the number of meals per day with a focus on energy- and protein-rich foods may help improving nutritional status and QoL of patients with COPD in Vietnam.
