Metabolic Characteristics and Factors Associated with Prediabetes in Chinese Adults Based on Real-World Health Examination Data: A Cross-Sectional Study

A cross‑sectional study of 20,271 Chinese adults undergoing routine health exams identified distinct metabolic patterns in prediabetes. Compared with normoglycemic peers, prediabetic participants were older, had higher BMI, more hypertension and fatty liver, and displayed adverse lipid and bilirubin profiles....

Secretor Status-Dependent Modulation of in Vitro Immune Responses by Human Milk Oligosaccharides

The study demonstrates that an individual’s Secretor (FUT2) genotype, rather than the specific composition of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), primarily dictates peripheral blood mononuclear cell cytokine responses. Secretor‑positive (Se+) donors produced significantly more anti‑inflammatory IL‑10, and only genotype‑matched HMOs suppressed...

Effects of Low Glycemic Index/Load Diets on Metabolic and Inflammatory Markers in Humans: A Meta-Analysis

A meta‑analysis of 21 randomized trials involving 1,265 participants found that low‑glycemic index or load (LGI/LGL) diets were associated with modest weight loss, lower body‑mass index, and improvements in lipid profiles—including reductions in total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL‑C and an...

Effects of Beta-Alanine Supplementation on Exercise Performance and Related Physiological Outcomes in Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

A new systematic review and meta‑analysis examined beta‑alanine supplementation in women across 12 reports (11 RCTs, 312 participants). The pooled analysis found a moderate improvement in time‑to‑exhaustion (SMD ≈ 0.49, p = 0.001) while effects on peak power, anaerobic performance, VO₂max/VO₂peak and body‑fat percentage...

An Alternative Dietary Variety Score Reflects Nutrient Adequacy Across Different Life Stages in Japanese Women

Researchers created an Alternative Dietary Variety Score (ADVS) that swaps the traditional "fats and oils" component of Japan's Dietary Variety Score (DVS) for whole‑grain consumption. Using cross‑sectional data from 4,227 young, 3,562 middle‑aged and 1,655 older Japanese women, they found...

Valorization of Wine Industry By-Products as a Flavoring Agent in Water Kefir: Microbiological Viability and Functional Properties

Researchers formulated a water‑kefir beverage incorporating grape pomace, a wine‑industry by‑product, and evaluated its physicochemical, microbiological, sensory, and functional attributes. Anthocyanin and phenolic levels rose with pomace concentration, peaking in the 50% formulation, but excessive acidity limited its acceptability. The...

Time-Restricted Eating and Metabolic Health: Implications for Nutritional Strategies and Weight Loss

A Frontiers in Nutrition mini‑review published on June 11 2026 evaluates time‑restricted eating (TRE) as a chrononutrition strategy. The authors synthesize clinical trials showing that 6‑10‑hour eating windows can produce modest weight loss and improvements in insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and lipid...

A Structured Clinical Nutrition Pathway for Enteral Nutrition Management in Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Non-Randomized Controlled Study

A non‑randomized controlled study at a Chinese tertiary hospital evaluated a SAPIM‑based structured clinical nutrition pathway for enteral feeding in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. The pathway, emphasizing systematic assessment, personalized targets, and multidisciplinary coordination, reduced nutrition‑related complications from 56.7% to...

Associations of Dietary Phosphorus-Protein Ratio, Phosphorus-Energy Ratio, and Protein-Energy Ratio with Mortality in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study

A retrospective cohort of 794 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients examined how dietary nutrient‑density ratios—phosphorus‑protein, phosphorus‑energy, and protein‑energy—relate to mortality. The study found a nonlinear, U‑shaped association between the phosphorus‑protein ratio and both all‑cause and cardiovascular death, with risk rising above...

Leveraging Dynamic Serum Uric Acid Trajectories for Risk Stratification in Hospitalized HFpEF Patients

A Chinese registry analysis of 4,164 hospitalized HFpEF patients showed that pre‑discharge serum uric acid (SUA) levels, unlike admission levels, independently predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over a median 25‑month follow‑up. Patients whose SUA rose during hospitalization (normal‑high) or...
