Article Abstract
Science and food industry must strive to ensure and improve edible insect's benefits, and especially their safety and nutritional value. This study investigated how various food substrates used in the rearing of larvae influence their growth, the safety of the larvae, and the nutritional quality of the resulting flour. The main findings indicate that all samples showed significant differences in their nutritional profile, larval characteristics, and heavy metal content. Regarding the content of protein, fat and fiber it ranges from 44.1 to 51.8 %, 28.6-34.8 % and 10.5-14.9 %, respectively. These results suggest that insect diet is a very crucial parameter that can affect all that factors and must be taken into account, especially when they are intended as raw materials to be used for food production.

Background: Sleep and frailty are established influencing factors for cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). However, their joint effects on cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) in older adults remain poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the joint effect of sleep health and frailty on CMD prevalence and severity, with an emphasis on subgroup-specific health risk profiles.
