study (prospective population-based st-udy of 1,270 community-living Italianadults�65 years of age begun in 1998) forassociations between dietary intake andfrailty risk. Data were available for demo-graphics, intermittent dietary assessmentusing a validated food frequency ques-tionnaire, a computed Mediterranean DietScore (MDS), and multidimensional frailtyscore derived from an operational defini-tion of Fried and colleagues (two or morecriteria: poormuscle strength, feelingof ex-haustion, low walking speed, low physicalactivity). A three-level MDS adherence(low, moderate, high) score category wasused to compare frailty risk by generalizedlinear models. Results showed higher MDSadherence had lower risk of developingfrailty alongwith higherwalking speed andphysical activity scores. High MDS groupwas associated with younger age (mean71.5 years compared to 74.1 for low MDS),more likely to be male, and had a higherbody mass index (mean 28.1 compared to26.8 for lowMDS).NodifferenceswereseenamongMDSgroups for smoking, education,chronic disease, or polypharmacy.

In vitro and in vivo assessment of theglycemic index of bakery products: In-fluence of the reformulation of ingre-dients.Ferrer-Mairal A, Penalva-Lapuente C, Iglesia I, etal. Eur J Nutr. 2012;51(8):947-954.

Abstract. Calculating a glycemic indexfor food may be dependent on the meth-odology used. This evaluative food prod-uct study compared two glycemic indexmethods, in vitro (starch digestion) and invivo (postprandial glucose after humaningestion), for two bakery products (muf-fins, bread). Both products were preparedusing standardized recipes. A controlproduct was used with flour as the ingre-dient. In the reduced glycemic index vari-ation, a combination of substitute prod-ucts (resistant starch, lentil flour, anddextrose) was used as the partial flourreplacement. A standardized in vitrostarch hydrolysis protocol with a non-linear model analysis by Goni and col-leagues was used. The in vivo study re-cruited 18 healthy adults (18 to 40 yearsof age) without diabetes who completedboth a baseline glucose tolerance testand two subsequent ingestion tests inrandom order. Results were comparedusing area under the curve, paired ttests. The methodology comparisonused scatter plots of Bland-Altman. Re-sults showed the modified bakery prod-ucts were lower in glycemic index re-gardless of methodology. The in vitromethod slightly overestimates the effectwith a trend toward greatest discrep-ancy as the in vivo level drops.

Association of an intensive lifestyle in-tervention with remission of type 2 di-abetes.Gregg EW, Chen H, Wagenknecht LE, et al. forthe Look AHEAD Research Group. JAMA. 2012;308(23):2489-2496.Abstract. The new direction in diabetescare is to consider the condition as no lon-ger an incurable, progressive disease, butrather as having the potential for remis-sion or metabolic improvement with ag-gressive lifestyle intervention. This sec-ondary analysis of the 4-year durationLook AHEAD (Action for Health for Diabe-tes) randomized controlled clinical trial ex-amined the outcome measure of partial orcomplete remission (fastingplasmaglucose�126 mg/dL and hemoglobin A1c � 6.5%withoutmedication) inmiddle-agedAmer-ican adults with body mass index of �25and type 2 diabetes. Participants wererandomly assigned to either diabetesstandard education (DSE, n�2,572) or in-tensive lifestyle intervention (ILI,n�2,570) as weekly group and individualcounseling sessions, stepped down over 4years to three group sessions per year ondiet, physical activity, and social support.The ILI group was encouraged to reducecalories to 1,200/day and increase physi-cal activity to 175 min/wk. Groups werecompared using a complexMarkov binarytransitional model to estimate change indiabetes status followed by multivariatepost hoc analyses and odds ratios to char-acterize variables involved in probabilityof diabetes remission. The greatest prob-ability of remission was found in partici-pantswho had the shortest duration of di-abetes diagnosis at the start of the trialand were more likely to have lower base-line outcome criteria as well as never tak-ing insulin. A greater first yearweight lossor lower initial body mass index also in-creased probability of remission. The ab-solute rate of differences between theDSEand ILI groups was 9.5% at year 1 and 5.3%
at year 4, which supports the theory that

Familiarizing with toy food: Prelimi-nary research and future directions.LynchM. JNutr EducBehav.2012;44(6):639-643.Abstract. The majority of food intakeand diet habits are learned through expe-rience. This qualitative research projectexamined the role of children playingwith toy food within the social context ofthe home setting for the purpose of devel-oping an exploratory hypothesis for furtherresearch. The video-sharing site, YouTube,was searched using the following keywords: toy kitchen, pretend kitchen, toyfood, pretend cooking. Videos available onYouTube are typically posted by parents forfamily and friends. Criteriawas restricted toEnglish-language, children estimated 2 to 6years of age with their parents, home envi-ronment, presence of toy food. Searcheswere completed over a 2-month period oftime in 2009multiple times to assure satu-ration of content. Analysis was performedby qualitative content assessment with fo-cus on recording a parent or child pretend-ing to eat or drink any toy food. Frequenciesof behaviors and foods were tabulated.Results found 101 videos meeting the cri-teria with 134 toy food interactions (cate-gorized by five groups: extra, fruits/veg-etables, meat/alternatives, grains, milk/dairy) with 106 children (68 girls) and 92parents (70 mothers). The average videolength was under 3 minutes (range 32seconds to 9 minutes 16 seconds). Themost common food group representedwas extra (42 interactions), in which chil-dren typically pretended to bake or servecookies to parents, followed by 39 inter-actions of fruits and vegetables. The mostcommon words spoken were “yummy,”“delicious,” “nice,” and “mmmm.” Thelowest group representedwasmilk/dairy,but the researchers noted that dairy, milk,and grain toy foods are the least likely to

Effect of fruit and vegetable consump-tion on immune function in older peo-ple: A randomized controlled trial.Gibson A, Edgar JD, Neville CE, et al. Am J ClinNutr. 2012;96(6):1429-1436.Abstract. Increasing dietary fruit andvegetable consumption may improve im-mune function through a cohort of antiox-idant and micronutrient metabolic pro-cesses. This randomized controlled trial(Ageing and Dietary Intervention Trial) ex-amined immune system changes betweenhigh (5 portions of fruits and vegetables/day, n�42) compared to � 2 serving/day(n�41) inhealthycommunity-livingBritishadults between the ages of 65 and 85 yearsof age. Participants ingested their pre-scribed intervention for 16 weeks, thenreceived tetanus and pneumovax vac-cines. Biomarker and antibody serumsamples were taken at 4-week timepoints. Data were compared betweengroups using independent samples t tests,�2, and linear regression. Themean intakeof fruit and vegetable servings was 0.4compared to 4.6 portions/day, showingcompliance to randomization. Antibodybinding to the pneumovax vaccine wasstatistically significantly increased(P�0.005) in the higher-serving group. Nodifference was observed in the tetanusvaccine response.

Abstract. Patient satisfaction surveyscores during hospitalization are oftenlinked to foodservice. This five-phase in-house study examined within a single in-stitution the potential factors affectingfood temperature as delivered by a cen-tralized conventional food productionsystem. Phase one analyzed data from theoverall hospitalization satisfaction PressGaney questionnaire. Phase two inter-viewed patients who completed internalfood questionnaires identifying poor foodtemperature ratings for potential etiolog-ical patterns. Phase three consisted of trayassembly and delivery temperature stud-ies to improve delivery, followed by Phasefour implementation and assessment ofthese improvement changes. Phase fiveadded pre-warming of hot beverage cupsand earlier entrÊe dome placement totemperature studies. Descriptive statis-tics were used in all phases, with latephases using analysis of variance to exam-ine differences in procedures on outcometemperatures. Primary results showedthe greatest temperature loss was duringtray assembly and delayed delivery due tolimited holding time of insulated platebases. A shorter length of stay andyounger age resulted in higher satisfac-tion rating in general. Funding supportwas internal within the institution.

Individualized nutrition intervention isof major benefit to colorectal cancerpatients: Long-term follow-up of a ran-domized controlled trial of nutritionaltherapy.Ravasco P,Monteiro-Grillo I, CamiloM.Am JClinNutr. 2012;96(6):1346-1353.Abstract. A previously published reportof this randomized trial conducted in Lis-bon, Portugal, supported early nutritionalcounseling during radiotherapy for colo-rectal cancer patients which resulted inimproving nutritional status and qualityof life for at least 3 months post-inter-vention. This follow-up report (median6.5 years, range 4.9 to 8.1 years) of clin-ical trial participants/survivors of thethree interventional groups assessedwhether the individualized interventionhad any long-term effect on diseaseprognosis and clinical course: group 1(n�37/34) received individualized edu-cation counseling, group 2 (n�37/29)received dietary supplements, andgroup 3 (n�37/26) received usual diet.Data were collected during protocol-driven follow-up appointments usingsame collection methods as the originaltrial: nutritional assessment, quality oflife, laboratory screening, and physicalexam. Groups were compared by Ka-plan-Meier survival curves followed byanalysis of variance and subsequentpost hoc testing. Results showed group 1

Technology brings new andnovel approaches to traditional data collec-tion. This cross-sectional, population-basedstudy used a convenience sample of youngGerman adults (ages 18 to 24 years) whowere randomly assigned to be interviewedeither by phone or by video-conferencingusing the Skype software tool in September2011. Potential participants (n�300) resid-ing in the community of Landsberg, Ger-many (population 28,000) were contactedby postal letter (handwritten address), fol-lowed by postal reminders and homephone call to participate in apre-studypilotinterview for the planned MOBI-KIDSstudy. A small monetary incentive was of-fered. The comparison of data collection in-tegrity was planned by percentage of re-sponse with 95% CIs. A total of 54 (19%response rate)agreed toparticipate (54% fe-male,meanage21years), but only 15 in theSkypegrouphadaccess to theprogram. Theresearchers concluded that theuseof Skypeto replace phone interviews is premature,the recruitment of young adults may bemoreeffectiveusingonlinesocialnetworks,and the reliability and availability of Inter-net-support may hinder current use in epi-demiological research.

either 30 mL tart cherry concentration orplacebo fruit-flavored cordial was ingestedtwice daily. An activity monitor was com-pleted for 2 consecutive days along withurine sampling. Diet recalls and sleep qual-ity questionnaireswere also completed. Af-ter a 14-day post studywashout period, thestudy was repeated with alternate inter-vention. Data were compared by groupsusing repeated measures of analysis of vari-ance. The level of urinary 6-sulphatoxymela-tonin was analyzed in duplicate. Resultsshowed baseline groups were comparable.The cherry juice grouphadhigher totalmela-tonin levels aswell as increased sleep subjec-tive measures. The cherry juice was donatedby CherryActive, Sunbury, UK, without anyother funding source identified.
