Adherence to dietary recommendations of the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet in the student population
No full textKomisija EAT-Lancet nastoji definirati zdravu i održivu prehranu u određenim rasponima unosa svih komponenata prehrane, stavljajući u središte promicanje zdravlja ljudi i prevenciju bolesti. Cilj ovog rada bio je ocijeniti kakvoću prehrane studenata sveučilišta u Rijeci koristeći prehrambene preporuke Komisije, odnosno uspoređeni su njihovi prehrambeni obrasci s trenutnim znanstvenim razumijevanjem zdrave i održive prehrane. Predloženi rasponi unosa komponenti prehrane omogućuju usvajanje različitih održivih prehrambenih obrazaca, s ciljem pozitivnog djelovanja na zdravlje i okoliš. Također, referirajući se na preporuke i komponente hrane, cilj je bio opisati i kakvoću prehrane studenata u odnosu na njihovu dob, spol, stanje uhranjenosti, razinu tjelesne aktivnosti te navike pušenja.
Ovim istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 1460 studenata, od kojih 1077 žena i 383 muškarca. Podaci o njihovoj prehrani, dobi, spolu, stanju uhranjenosti te navikama tjelesne aktivnosti i pušenja dobiveni su iz anketnih upitnika istraživanja o prehrani studenata Riječkog sveučilišta provedenih 2008. i 2018. godine. Svi navedeni parametri su promatrani u svrhu utvrđivanja kakvoće prehrane u studenata, a prosječni dnevni unosi energije, odnosno unosi namirnica biljnog i životinjskog podrijetla, kao i njihove energetske gustoće, korišteni su u cilju dobivanja prosječne ocjene Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI). Njegova se ocjena kreće od 0 do 150, a primijenjen je u svrhu utvrđivanja pridržavaju li se studenti preporuka Komisije. Prosječna ocjena PHDI studenata iznosi 64,6, što ukazuje na umjerenu pripadnost zdravoj i održivoj prehrani. Ovo je istraživanje pokazalo da su potrebne javnozdravstvene aktivnosti promocije zdravlja i održive prehrane među studentskom populacijom, osobito među studentima mlađe dobi, pothranjenim i pretilim studentima, pušačima te tjelesno slabije aktivnim studentima.The EAT-Lancet commission seeks to define a healthy and sustainable diet within certain ranges of intake of all dietary components, focusing on the promotion of human health and disease prevention. The goal of this research was to evaluate the quality of diet of students at the University of Rijeka, and to make this possible, the nutritional recommendations of the Commission were used, that is, their dietary patterns were compared with the current scientific understanding of healthy and sustainable nutrition. The suggested intake ranges of food components enable the adoption of different sustainable food patterns, with the aim of having a positive effect on health and the environment. Also, referring to the recommendations and food components, the goal was to describe the quality of the students' diet in relation to their age, gender, nutritional status, level of physical activity and smoking habits.
This research included 1,460 students, of which 1,077 were women and 383 were men. Data on their diet, age, gender, nutritional status, and physical activity and smoking habits were obtained from survey questionnaires of the University of Rijeka's student nutrition research conducted in 2008 and 2018. All the mentioned parameters were observed for the purpose of determining the quality of nutrition in students, and the average daily energy intake, that is, the quantitative intake of plant and animal foods, as well as their energy density, were used to obtain the average PHDI score. The Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI), whose score ranges from 0 to 150, was applied to determine whether students were following the Commission's recommendations. The average score of PHDI students is 64.6, which indicates a moderate adherence to a healthy and sustainable diet. This research has shown that there is a need for public health activities to promote health and sustainable nutrition among the student population, especially among younger students, undernourished and obese students, smokers, and less physically active students

THE INFLUENCE OF A DIET ON INFLAMMATORY, METABOLIC AND IMMUNE STATUS OF OBESE ADULTS
No full textCilj: Sve je više dokaza o utjecaju prehrane na mijenjanje pretilošću uzrokovane kronične upale niskog intenziteta i povezanih kroničnih nezaraznih bolesti. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi promjene u sastavu tijela, metaboličkom, upalnom i imunosnom statusu ispitanika s pretilošću nakon 24-tjedne nutricionističke intervencije temeljene na protuupalnoj prehrani te ispitati povezanost upalnog potencijala prehrane s metaboličkim, upalnim i imunosnim statusom.
Materijali i metode: Određeni su antropometrijski parametri 81 ispitanika (42 ispitanika intervencijske skupine, 39 ispitanika kontrolne skupine) i analiza sastava tijela metodom bioelektrične impedance. Metabolički status utvrđen je glikemijskim i lipidnim statusom, kardiometaboličkim indeksom te indeksom steatoze jetre. Upalni status procijenjen je koncentracijom hs-CRP, IL-6 i TNF-α, a imunosni status imunofenotipskim profilom limfocitnih subpopulacija stanica. Upalni potencijal prehrane procijenjen je Prehrambenim upalnim indeksom (DII®). Negativniji DII® indeks ukazuje na prehranu s većim protuupalnim potencijalom. Linearna regresijska analiza koristila se za procjenu mogućih odnosa i korelacija između upalnog potencijala prehrane kao neovisne varijable s antropometrijskim, metaboličkim, upalnim i imunološkim varijablama kao ovisnim varijablama.
Rezultati: Intervencija protuupalnom prehranom omogućila je statistički značajno smanjenje tjelesne mase (-7,1%, P<0,0001), osobito visceralnog masnog tkiva (-22,3%, P<0,0001), te poboljšanje metaboličkog statusa ispitanika. Utvrđeno je statistički značajno poboljšanje upalnog statusa smanjenjem hs-CRP (-29,5%, P=0,0025), IL-6 (-17,6%, P=0,0126) te TNF-α (-35,6%, P=0,0016),
kao i imunosnog statusa smanjenjem udjelaNK (-15,6, P<0,0001) i NKT stanica (-35,4%, P<0,0001). Najveća smanjenja navedenih parametra ostvarena su u ispitanika s najvećim stupnjem pretilosti. Iako je utvrđena blaga pozitivna povezanost promjene upalnog potencijala prehrane sa smanjenjem tjelesne mase, metaboličkih, upalnih i imunosnih parametara, te povezanosti nisu bile statistički značajne.
Zaključak: Primjena protuupalne prehrane pokazala se učinkovitom u liječenju pretilosti jer je omogućila značajna smanjenja tjelesne mase i visceralnog masnog tkiva, poboljšanje sastava tijela, metaboličkih, upalnih i imunosnih parametara. Dobiveni podaci ovog istraživanja unapređuju trenutne znanstvene spoznaje, mogu poslužiti u davanju smjernica za liječenje pretilosti, te naći primjenu u rutinskoj kliničkoj praksi liječenja pretilosti.Objective: There is a growing evidence of diet impact on obesity-induced low-grade chronic inflammation, and associated chronic noncommunicable diseases modification. The study aimed to determine changes in body composition, metabolic, inflammatory and immune status of participants with obesity after 24 weeks of diet intervention based on anti-inflammatory diet and to examine the relationship of inflammatory potential of diet with metabolic, inflammatory and immune status.
Materials and methods: The anthropometric parameters of 81 participant (42 in intervention group, 39 in control group) and their body composition analysis with bioelectrical impedance method was assessed. Metabolic status was determined with glycemic and lipid status, cardiometabolic index and liver steatosis index, inflammatory status by concentration of hs-CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α, and immune status by immunophenotypic profile of lymphocytes subgroups cells. The inflammatory potential of the diet was assessed by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®). A more negative DII® index indicates a diet with higher anti-inflammatory potential. Linear regression analysis was used to assess possible relationships and correlations between the inflammatory potential of diet as an independent variable with anthropometric, metabolic, inflammatory, and immune variables as dependent variables.
Results: Intervention with anti-inflammatory diet resulted with statistically significant reduction of body weight (-7.1%, P<0.0001), especially of visceral adipose tissue (-22.3%, P<0.0001), and improvement of participants' metabolic status. A statistically significant inflammatory status improvement was achieved with decrease of hs-CRP (-29.5%, P = 0.0025), IL-6 (-17.6%, P = 0.0126) and TNF-α (-35.6 %, P = 0.0016), and immune status improvement with decrease of NK (-15.6%, P<0.0001) and NKT cells fractions (-35.4%, P<0.0001). The largest reductions were achieved in participants with the highest obesity degree. Although a mild positive association of the inflammatory potential of the diet changes with body weight, metabolic, inflammatory and immune parameters reductionswas oberved, these associations were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The anti-inflammatory diet has been shown to be effective in obesity treatment because it caused significant reductions in body weight and visceral adipose tissue, and improvements of body composition, metabolic, inflammatory and immune parameters. The study data might contribute to current scientific knowledge, provide guidelines for for the treatment of obesity, and find its application in routine clinical practice for obesity treatment
Nutritional status in women involved in the project "Exercise and proper nutrition against osteoporosis and diabetes"
No full textPravilna prehrana, kombinirana s adekvatnom tjelesnom aktivnošću, ima važnu ulogu u prevenciji i liječenju različitih kroničnih bolesti, kao što su osteoporoza i dijabetes.
Ciljevi ovog istraživanja se odnose na žene koje su uključene u projekt „Vježbanjem i pravilnom prehranom u borbi protiv osteoporoze i dijabetesa“. Cilj je prikupiti podatke o dnevnom unosu tri osnovna nutritivna sastojka u prehrani, koja uključuju proteine, ugljikohidrate i masti. Ostali ciljevi su se odnosili na ispitivanju učestalosti loših prehrambenih navika, koje uključuju premali ili preveliki unos određenih nutritivnih sastojaka u prehrani, kod određenih skupina. Ciljevi su: ispitati učestalost loših prehrambenih navika s obzirom na bolovanje od kroničnih bolesti, obzirom na status pušenja, te s obzirom na završeni stupanj obrazovanja.
Istraživanje se provelo u obliku papir-olovka anketnog upitnika, a u uzorak ispitanika je bilo uključeno 23 žena srednje i starije životne dobi (s navršenih 50 godina i više).
Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako ispitanice dnevno konzumiraju veću količinu proteina i masti, te manju količinu ugljikohidrata od referentnih vrijednosti. Isto tako se pokazalo da ispitanice koje boluju od kroničnih bolesti dnevno konzumiraju više proteina, ugljikohidrata i masti od ispitanica koje ne boluju od istih stanja, no razlike se nisu pokazale statistički značajnima. Nadalje, pušačice su imale veći dnevni unos proteina i masti, a manji unos ugljikohidrata naspram ispitanica koje ne puše. Navedena razlika u prehrani također nije statistički značajna. Posljednji rezultat ukazuje na veći unos proteina i manji unos ugljikohidrata i masti u prehrani ispitanica s nižim stupnjem obrazovanja, u odnosu na ispitanice s višim stupnjem obrazovanja.Proper nutrition, combined with adequate physical activity, plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of various chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis and diabetes.
The aims of this research refer to women who are involved in the project "Exercise and proper nutrition against osteoporosis and diabetes". The aim is to collect data on the daily intake of three basic nutritional components in the diet, which include proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Other aims were related to examining the frequency of bad eating habits, which include too little or too much intake of certain nutritional ingredients in the diet, in certain groups. The aims are to examine the frequency of bad eating habits with regard to chronic diseases, with regard to smoking status, and with regard to the completed level of education.
The research was conducted in the form of a paper-and-pencil questionnaire, and the sample of respondents included 23 middle-aged and elderly women (over 50).
The results of the research show that respondents daily consume a larger amount of protein and fat, and a smaller amount of carbohydrates than the reference values. It was also shown that respondents who suffer from chronic diseases consume more protein, carbohydrates and fat per day than respondents who do not suffer from the same conditions, but the differences did not prove to be statistically significant. Furthermore, female smokers had a higher daily intake of protein and fat, and a lower intake of carbohydrates compared to female who did not smoke. The mentioned difference in diet is also not statistically significant. The last result indicates a higher intake of protein and a lower intake of carbohydrates and fats in the diet of respondents with a lower level of education, compared to respondents with a higher level of education

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Poster 30. - Utjecaj znanja o prehrani na prehrambene navike djece školske dobi iz Primorsko-goranske županije
Full text linkNovija istraživanja pokazala su pozitivan utjecaj znanja o prehrani na prehrambene navike djece i adolescenata, stoga je cilj ovog rada bio utvrditi utjecaj znanja o prehrani na prehrambene navike djece školske dobi iz Primorsko-goranske županije. Istraživanje je provedeno u 23 osnovne škole u Primorsko-goranskoj županiji među 857 učenika osmih razreda (51.2% dječaka, 48.8% djevojčica) prosječne dobi od 15 godina. Upitnik se sastojao od antropometrijskih podataka, 10 pitanja o prehrani i pitanja o učestalosti konzumiranja 35 namirnica u posljednjih 7 dana. Rezultati upitnika znanja o prehrani pokazali su ukupno slabije znanje o prehrani, samo 11.9% je imalo dobro znanje o prehrani, djevojčice statistički značajno bolje. Provedeno istraživanje potvrdilo je pozitivan utjecaj znanja o prehrani na prehrambene navike djece školske dobi. Preporuča se provođenje edukacija o pravilnoj prehrani među školskom djecom kako bi se učvrstio pozitivan utjecaj na znanje o prehrani i prehrambene navike što je od javnozdravstvenog značaja s ciljem prevencije bolesti povezanih sa nepravilnom prehranom.
The effect of nutritional and lifestyle education intervention program on nutrition knowledge, diet quality, lifestyle, and nutritional status of Croatian school children
No full textIntroduction: Nutrition education during adolescence has proven effective in increasing knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the diet. The Mediterranean diet has proven health benefits and is proposed as a model of a sustainable diet that is beneficial for health and the environment. Its promotion with the educational program can have a significant effect on improvements in nutrition knowledge, diet quality, and nutritive status of adolescents for their healthy adulthood. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the educational program on the nutrition knowledge, diet quality, lifestyle, and nutritional status of school children from the littoral part of Croatia. Methods: An education-based intervention study was carried out on 2,709 schoolchildren aged 10–12 years (educated/control group: 2617/92). The questionnaire about sociodemographic, anthropometric, dietary, physical activity, screen time, sleep habits, and nutrition knowledge was assessed at the baseline and after a 6- to 9-month follow-up for the medium-term effect of education. Nutrition knowledge was provided after 3 weeks for the short-term education effect assessment. Results: Educated schoolchildren achieved a significant increase in nutrition knowledge (+75.5%), expressed as a short-term effect of the education and maintained at the 6- to 9-month follow-up (+66.8%, p < 0.001). Follow-up of children significantly improved their nutritional status (underweight −56.6%, normal weight 24.8%, overweight −22.1%, and obesity −57.5%) and physical activity engagement (+13.2%). The proportion of children with a diet highly adhering to the Mediterranean diet significantly doubled (+105.0). Those children with the highest nutrition knowledge at the follow-up significantly improved their nutritional status (+218.9%), participated in organized sports (+204.7%), and had a diet that highly adhered to the MD (+291.8%). Conclusion: A significantly good medium-term effect of education-based nutrition and lifestyle intervention program on nutrition knowledge, diet quality, lifestyle, and nutritional status of schoolchildren aged 10–12 years was shown. The educational program promoted a Mediterranean diet and lifestyle as a healthy and sustainable way of living, important for children's future health and wellbeing. New research-based approaches are needed for making children more aware and capable of handling the complexity of sustainable living
