Article Abstract
Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) survivors experience higher rates of cardiometabolic conditions, partly due to treatment. While healthy eating decreases the risk of these conditions in the general population, its association in BC survivors is unclear.
Methods: We included 3415 participants from the Pathways Study, a prospective cohort of women diagnosed with invasive BC between 2005 and 2013 and followed through 2021. Concordance of food intakes from food frequency questionnaires was estimated for five healthy eating patterns at BC diagnosis: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), healthy Plant-based Dietary Index (hPDI), 2020 Healthy Eating Index (HEI), American Cancer Society nutrition guidelines (ACS), and the alternate Mediterranean Diet Index (aMED). Incident hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were identified through electronic health records. Cumulative incidence rates (CIRs) were estimated accounting for the competing risk of death. Covariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Fine and Gray regression models, stratified by BC treatment status.
Results: Over an average 11.5 years (range = 0.3-16.3) of follow-up, 554 (16.2%) participants developed hypertension, 362 (10.6%) developed diabetes, and 652 (19.1%) developed dyslipidemia. CIRs for any cardiometabolic condition 15 years after BC diagnosis were 39.2% for women in the highest HEI quartile compared to 49.3% in the lowest. After adjustment, women in the highest HEI quartile had lower risks of any cardiometabolic condition (HR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.54-0.91, P = 0.006), including hypertension (HR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.54-0.94, P = 0.007), diabetes (HR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.41-0.79, P < 0.001), and dyslipidemia (HR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.59-0.99, P = 0.04). Similar associations were observed for DASH, hPDI, and ACS with diabetes incidence.
Conclusion: Healthier diets at BC diagnosis, particularly those aligned with the HEI, were associated with lower cardiometabolic risks.

Influence of dietary components on the gut microbiota of middle-aged adults: the gut-Mediterranean connection.

Background: A plant-focused, healthy dietary pattern, such as the Mediterranean diet enriched with dietary fiber, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fats, is well known to positively influence the gut microbiota. Conversely, a processed diet high in saturated fats and sugars negatively impacts gut diversity, potentially leading to weight gain, insulin resistance, and chronic, low-grade inflammation. Despite this understanding, the mechanisms by which the Mediterranean diet impacts the gut microbiota and its associated health benefits remain unclear.

Introduction And Objectives: Obesity has been considered the pandemic of the 21st century due to its high prevalence and the significant morbidity and mortality it entails. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of obesity in two occupational sectors and to determine the variables associated with it.
Methodology: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study involving 56,856 workers from the commerce and industrial sectors.
A scoping review on the possible immunometabolic properties of the furan fatty acid metabolite 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropionic acid.

Circulating levels of 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropionic acid (CMPF), a metabolite derived from dietary furan fatty acids primarily found in marine food sources, have long been recognized as biomarkers for fish intake. However, elevated CMPF levels are also observed in patients with type 2 diabetes or chronic kidney disease and in healthy people associated with a reduced infection risk, suggesting potential bioactive roles in metabolism and immune function. Yet, the possible causal mechanisms behind these associations are unknown.

Background: Dietary fiber supports metabolic health via microbial fermentation, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). However, metabolic responses to fiber vary between individuals, potentially due to differences in gut microbiota composition. The Prevotella-to-Bacteroides (P/B) ratio has emerged as a potential biomarker for fiber responsiveness.

Objectives: We aimed to determine the degree to which a healthy dietary pattern is associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: We registered this systematic review and meta-analysis in PROSPERO (CRD42025645056). Inclusion criteria were validated diet (anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and/or healthy eating index [HEI]); validated RA definition; dietary exposure preceding RA; and randomized controlled trial, cohort, or case-control design.
