Article Abstract

The current sheep Meat Standards Australia (MSA) model is a pathways system designed to improve the overall eating quality of Australian lamb, yet it is unable to predict individual consumer-based eating quality scores for specific cuts. This paper describes the methodology of using consumer sensory scores to create an objective composite eating quality prediction score linked to individual quality grades for different cuts. This methodology accounts for objective carcass measures that are being commercialised within the industry, such as intramuscular fat percentage and a measure of lean meat yield percentage. The model demonstrated that through utilising these carcass grading traits, an eating quality prediction can be made with an accuracy of 75 % and 72 % for the grill and roast cooking method respectively, however individual consumer variation remained substantial. The model will allow the supply chain to allocate cuts to different marketing strategies (branding) based on their eating quality performance whilst also reducing the chances of consumers being offered products that do not meet their expectations.

Purpose: We developed a diet quality index based on the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) to assess healthy and sustainable diets. The index was applied alongside socio-demographic characteristics in five regions across Europe and North Africa.

Methods: The Sustainable Healthy Diet Index (SHDI) was designed using existing and validated healthy diet indexes.

Context: The pillars of diabetes treatment include pharmacotherapy, healthy eating, physical activity, self-monitoring, education, mental health support, and smoking cessation. Interventions based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change, which consider a patient's readiness to behavioral change, may be effective for promoting sustainable self-care. However, the impact of such interventions on diabetes management requires systematic evaluation.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests a link between the oral microbiome and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by social and behavioural impairments. The vast microbial reservoirs in the gut complement those of the oral cavity, suggesting a potential oral-gut-brain axis that may influence ASD and perhaps other neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. For the first time, this systematic review synthesises the current knowledge of oral microbiome composition, diversity, and functionality in ASD and its potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

Background: Children in the United States have poor diet quality, increasing their risk for chronic disease burden later in life. Caregivers' feeding behaviors are a critical factor in shaping lifelong dietary habits. The Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa (SFSH) was a 6-month, home-based, pilot randomized-controlled feasibility trial that aimed to improve the diet quality of 2-5-year-old children and promote positive parental feeding practices among a predominantly Hispanic/Latine sample.

Objective: It is important to raise awareness of the nutritional problems that can be overlooked during the follow-up visits with children who suffer from neuromuscular diseases, as these dietary differences may lead to additional neurological and systemic problems and impair the quality of life of the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of children with neuromuscular disorders and to prevent possible complications by recognizing possible nutritional problems in advance.

Methods: Patients who applied to the outpatient clinic at Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Neurology beginning in April 2022 with a neuromuscular disorder diagnosis were followed up with and were included in the study.
