Changes in food intake patterns during 2000-2007 and 2008-2016 in the population-based Northern Sweden Diet Database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Food intake patterns provide a summary of dietary intake. Few studies have examined trends in food intake patterns over time in large, population-based studies. We examined food intake patterns and related sociodemographic and individual characteristics in the large Northern Sweden Diet Database during the two time windows 2000-2007 and 2008-2016.

Methods

In total, 100 507 participants (51% women) who had filled in a 64-item food frequency questionnaire and provided background and sociodemographic data between 2000 and 2016 were included. Food intake patterns were evaluated for women and men separately for the two time windows 2000-2007 and 2008-2016, respectively. Latent class analysis was used to identify distinct, latent clusters based on 40 food groups.

Results

Among both women and men, a greater proportion of participants were classified into food intake patterns characterized by high-fat spread and high-fat dairy during 2008-2016 compared to 2000-2007. In the earlier time window, these high-fat clusters were related to lower educational level and smoking. Simultaneously, the proportion of women and men classified into a cluster characterized by high intake of fruit, vegetables, and fibre decreased from the earlier to the later time window.

Conclusion

From a public health perspective, the increase in clusters with a high conditional mean for high-fat spread and high-fat dairy and decrease in clusters with a high conditional mean for fruit and vegetables, during the time period 2008-2016 compared to 2000-2007, is worrisome as it indicates a shift away from the recommended food habits. Subgroups of women and men with less healthy dietary patterns in the time window 2008-2016 with lower education, lower age, higher body mass index, lower levels of physical activity and more smoking were identified and future interventions may be targeted towards these groups.

Project description:BackgroundThe need to promote a healthy diet to curb the current obesity epidemic has today been recognized by most countries. A prerequisite for planning and evaluating interventions on dietary intake is the existence of valid information on long-term average dietary intake in a population. Few large, population-based studies of dietary intake have been carried out in Sweden. The largest to date is the Västerbotten Intervention Program (VIP), which was initiated in 1985, with data collection still ongoing. This paper reports on the first comprehensive analyses of the dietary data and presents dietary intake patterns among over 60,000 women and men in northern Sweden during 1992-2005.MethodsBetween 1992 and 2005, 71,367 inhabitants in Västerbotten county aged 30, 40, 50, and 60 years visited their local health care center as part of the VIP. Participants of VIP filled in an 84- or 64-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and provided sociodemographic information. Complete and realistic information on consumption frequency was provided by 62,531 individuals. Food intake patterns were analyzed using K-means cluster analyses.ResultsThe mean daily energy intake was 6,83 (+/- 1,77) MJ among women and 8,71 (+/- 2,26) MJ among men. More than half of both women and men were classified as Low Energy Reporters (defined as individuals reporting a food intake level below the lower 95% confidence interval limit of the physical activity level). Larger variation in frequency of daily intake was seen among women than among men for most food groups. Among women, four dietary clusters were identified, labeled "Fruit and vegetables", "High fat", "Coffee and sandwich", and "Tea and ice cream". Among men, three dietary clusters were identified, labeled "Fruit and vegetables", "High fat", and "Tea, soda and cookies".ConclusionMore distinct food intake patterns were seen among women than men in this study in northern Sweden. Due to large proportions of Low Energy Reporters, our results on dietary intake may not be suitable for comparisons with recommended intake levels. However, the results on food intake patterns should still be valid and useful as a basis for targeting interventions to groups most in need.

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA300 isolates have been recognized globally, not only in community but also in healthcare settings. USA300 isolates were initially resistant only to methicillin, but resistance to non-?-lactams has emerged with time. To evaluate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of USA300 isolates in Stockholm, we conducted a nine-year retrospective study. Of 5359 consecutive MRSA cases in Stockholm, isolates from 285 cases were USA300 strains according to the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern. Of these cases, repeated isolates with altered antibiotic resistance patterns were observed in six individuals. Therefore, antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed on totally 291 isolates. To study the phylogenetic relatedness of isolates in transmission events and genomic resistance traits, 35 isolates were further studied by whole genome sequencing (WGS). The incidence of MRSA was increased from 17.6 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2008 to 37.3 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2016, while the proportion of USA300 cases declined from 6.6% in 2008 to 2.6% in 2016. Among the USA300 isolates, 73.5% were community-associated, 21.3% healthcare-associated, and 5.2% had unknown acquisition. The highest resistance rate among non-?-lactams was found in erythromycin (86%), followed by fluoroquinolones (68-69%). 57% of the isolates were resistant to both erythromycin and fluoroquinolone. Simultaneous resistance to four non-?-lactam antibiotic classes was found in six isolates. Four isolates were susceptible to all non-?-lactam antibiotics. Ceftaroline, daptomycin, linezolid, mupirocin, rifampicin, teicoplanin, telavancin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and vancomycin retained full activity in the study. WGS analysis indicated that isolates from an outbreak were phylogenetically closely related. In conclusion, USA300 MRSA isolates in Stockholm have neither been limited to the community setting, nor remained susceptible to non-?-lactam agents. WGS is becoming a useful tool in tracing transmission events. The results herein provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive information regarding status of USA300 strains in this geographic area.
