Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

A dietary pattern is defined as the quantity, variety, or combination of different foods and beverages in a diet and the frequency with which they are habitually consumed. Traditionally, associations of diet to health have focused primarily on a single nutrient or food and an identified health outcome; however, currently, it is well-known that a dietary pattern is more likely to influence health or chronic disease than will any single nutrient or food.

In this Special Issue of IJERPH, we would like to give readers valuable insights into dietary patterns related to the prevention and treatment of diet-related diseases. The guest editors would like to invite original research and reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses) on the following topics:

  • Consumer motivations, perception and selection of food products, and resulting dietary patterns;
  • Determinants of dietary patterns in the 21st century and in the period of the global COVID-19 pandemic;
  • Effects of dietary patterns on physical, mental, or social health outcomes;
  • Dietary patterns for prevention and treatment of diet-related diseases;
  • Lifestyle strategies to promote beneficial dietary patterns from childhood to elderly age;
  • Dietary patterns based nutritional recommendations and dietary guidelines as strategies in diet-related disease prevention and treatment;
  • Current nutritional trends and related dietary patterns (Mediterranean diet, plant-based diet, sustainable diet, paleo diet, ketogenic diet, zero-waste lifestyle) as factors influencing human health.

Other topics within the scope of “Dietary Patterns in Prevention and Treatment of Diet-related Diseases” are also welcome.

Mindful eating may play an important role in long-term weight maintenance. In interventions aiming at weight reduction, increasing the levels of mindful eating was associated with higher levels of success and lower levels of weight rebound in the long run. This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of a mindful eating questionnaire for Romanian adults using Framson’s Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ). To calculate the internal (n = 495) and external (n = 45) reliability, a general population sample was taken. Construct validity was assessed using the “known groups” method: dietitians (n = 70), sports professionals (n = 52), and individuals with overweight and obesity (n = 200). Convergent validity tested the association between the MEQ score and demographic characteristics of the total sample (n = 617). The internal (0.72) and external (0.83) reliability were adequate. Dietitians and sports professionals had overall lower scores, meaning more mindful eating compared to the group of individuals with overweight and obesity. The lower mindful eating practice was associated with the presence of excess weight, suboptimal health status perception, higher levels of stress and younger age. The Romanian version of the MEQ is a reliable and valid tool for measuring mindfulness of eating in adults. Full article

While there is an association between Western diets and the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC), this dietary association has remained unexplored in Palestine. The aim of this study was to examine how fiber and fruit and vegetable (FV) intakes are associated with CRC risk among Palestinian adults. We recruited 528 Palestinians between 2014 and 2016. We identified 118 patients who received CRC treatment at Augusta Victoria Hospital, East Jerusalem. We additionally identified 410 controls who consisted of community-based Palestinians without cancer. All participants completed a survey on demographics and a validated dietary intake food screener. Multivariable logistic regression models tested associations between fiber and FV intakes (categorized into quartiles) with CRC risk. After adjusting for significant covariates (age, sex, education, physical activity, smoking status, BMI, IBD, and family history of CRC), as fibers increased across increasing quartiles, the CRC risk significantly decreased (OR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.15–0.86, p-trend = 0.02). After adjusting for age and sex, as FV intake increased, the CRC risk significantly decreased (OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.15–0.75, p-trend = 0.009). Consumption of fiber-rich foods was inversely associated with CRC risk. Understanding this relationship among Palestinians is essential in order to develop targeted, culturally relevant strategies that may potentially alleviate the burden of CRC. Full article
