Article Abstract

Background: Sarcopenia is a progressive disease with age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function. No study has investigated the association between healthy beverage index (HBI) and sarcopenia in older adults. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the association between HBI and sarcopenia in Iranian older adults.

Methods: In the present case-control study, 80 sarcopenic and 80 non-sarcopenic participants matched in sex were included. Body composition was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Handgrip strength (HGS), skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), and gait speed were utilized to confirm sarcopenia. Also, a food frequency questionnaire was used to evaluate food intake. HBI score was calculated based on ten sub-components of the total beverages. Moreover, logistic regression was applied to assess the association between HBI and sarcopenia.

Results: In the crude model, we observed no significant association between HBI and the odds of sarcopenia. Still, after adjusting the confounders, the odds of developing sarcopenia decreased significantly in the second and last tertiles (T) (T- odds ratio (OR) = 0.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.01-0.25 and T- OR = 0.10, 95% CI: 0.01-0.60).

Conclusions: Our findings indicated that HBI is inversely related to the chance of sarcopenia. Therefore, to reduce the odds of sarcopenia, it is recommended to consume healthy drinks such as fruit juices and milk.

Background: Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). Despite its efficacy, non-response to VDZ is common in clinical practice with no clear understanding of how it manifests. Here, we performed an exploratory study characterizing the cellular repertoire of responders and non-responders to VDZ during treatment.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary patterns can significantly influence CRC risk, with beverages playing a critical role. The Healthy Beverage Index (HBI) is a tool to assess the healthfulness of beverage consumption, yet its relationship with colorectal cancer risk has not been extensively studied.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive disease of the central nervous system, primarily affecting individuals in early adulthood and serving as a leading cause of disability among young adults. Despite advancements in understanding its etiology, there is currently no cure for MS. The disease's unpredictability, progression, and associated symptoms can significantly impair patients' daily, familial, social, and professional functioning, thereby substantially diminishing their quality of life.

Adherence to a Mediterranean dietary pattern is associated with biochemical remission in patients with Crohn's disease.

Background: The Mediterranean Diet (MD) was recently found to have benefits for patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) in various stages of the disease, though adherence to it may be limited during active disease. We aimed to evaluate the association between adherence to the MD and changes in fecal calprotectin (FC) levels among patients with CD in clinical and biochemical remission.

Methods: A prospective cohort of patients with CD in clinical and biochemical remission [Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) < 5 and FC < 250 μg/g].

Goals: We assessed clinical outcomes over 6 months in an integrated analysis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients switching from intravenous (IV) to subcutaneous (SC) infliximab (IFX).

Background: Real-world data from large multinational IBD patient populations treated with SC IFX are lacking.

Study: This individual participant data meta-analysis combined anonymized data from 3 real-world cohorts and evaluated clinical remission [Crohn's disease (CD): Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI)/modified HBI (mHBI) <5; ulcerative colitis (UC): Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI)/partial Mayo score (PMS) <3], disease activity (HBI/mHBI/SCCAI/PMS), treatment persistence, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, biomarkers [fecal calprotectin (FCP); C-reactive protein (CRP)], and reasons for discontinuation.
