In the complex research field of the role of lifestyle in the etiology of chronic diseases, diet is certainly one of the most difficult attributes to measure. Whereas all the physical and biological measurements, in any area of science, have measurement errors, it is imperative to continuously improve the technical aspects of measurement, including dietary intake assessment. Thus, this pr…
High meat intake, especially red and processed meat, and low fruit and vegetable intake have been associated with carcinogenesis and cardiovascular disease. One of the hypotheses that justify meat as a cause of these diseases is the cooking preparation process, in which heterocyclic amines can be formed. These amines can form toxic substances that can generate oxidative stress and DNA dam…
Much attention has been paid to the folate because of its role as nutrients that are key for the maintenance of good health and prevention of diseases. In addition to its already established role in reducing the incidence of neural tube defects, folate and vitamins B6 and B12 are metabolically related to homocysteine (hcy), in turn, are considered a risk factor for adverse events such as …

The evaluation of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Markers (CVDs) is a tool in the identification of asymptomatic atherosclerotic processes. Coronary Artery Calcium score (CAC) and carotid intima-media thickness (EMIC) are tests used to determine the presence of subclinical Atherosclerosis. One of the risk factors associated with CVD is diet, and therefore, ways of assessing diet quality are i…
Controlling the growth of Obesity rates and promoting healthy eating habits are the major challenges in the public health sector in Brazil and around the globe. There are still debates about the role of diet composition even though the relation between Obesity and food consumption is unquestionable. Considering that foods are not consumed isolated, studies in the field of nutritional epid…
The assessment of food consumption is of utmost importance in nutrition science, however existing food surveys are subject to variation and measurement errors. Recognizing the limitation in obtaining accurate measurements of food consumption, it is necessary to validate these tools. 24-Hour Urinary Nitrogen is a biomarker used to test the validity of protein intake estimates obtained from…
The assessment of food consumption is already important to the literature, yet the treatment was subject to variations and measurement errors. One of the main and most recurrent errors in food surveys is the report of energy insufficiency lower than the minimum substances necessary for maintenance of body weight, that is, the underreporting of energy. This line error will be evaluated in …
All existing diet assessment methods are subject to measurement errors. One of the main and most recurring measurement errors of the diet is in the inaccurate reporting of energy intake. Although several procedures are used to estimate under-reporting of energy intake, the most accurate is Double-Labeled Water (DLW). DLW is the most accurate method of measuring total energy expenditure in…

ALVES, Mariane de Almeida. Anthropometric changes and dietary patterns: a comparison between cohort studies in Brazil and the Netherlands, 2020.To control worldwide obesity prevalence and to promote healthy eating habits are major challenges in public health. Even with economic and cultural differences, low-middle income and high-income countries face the same challenge of reducing the pr…
Introduction: A sustainable diet is defined as the combination of a food system that promotes health for the population, reducing the environmental impacts caused by food production and respecting the limits of the planet. Recently, the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) was proposed as a model of diet that follows these characteristics. PHD was thought of as a way to improve human health, preve…
During the reproductive years and specifically during pregnancy, a women's health has a profound impact upon the health of her child, both in utero and throughout childhood. Since the 1970s, studies have shown relationships between decreased maternal levels of folate and an increased risk of neural tube defects in the fetus. As a result, many countries have implemented supplementation of …
