          Abstract

          Abstract Introduction: micronutrients are essential compounds present in foods and diets should provide adequate quantities to maintain growth, development and metabolic functions in men. Objectives: to review the adequacy to micronutrient recommendations amongst the population from the ANIBES study. Material and methods: published data from the ANIBES Study was reviewed to assess intakes in relation to the Recommended Dietary Intakes (RDI) for each age group including total, plausible and non-plausible reporters. Results: throughout all age groups, folates and vitamin D were the vitamins with the lowest proportion of subjects having intakes above 80% the RDI. Zinc intake was lower in children, adults and the elderly but not in adolescents. Nevertheless, vitamin D consumption increased with age. Conclusion: our results show inadequate intakes for at least three key micronutrients across all age groups. Authorities should promote nationwide nutritional policies to address unbalanced diets focusing on reaching vulnerable populations in order to overcome this major public health problem.

          Resumen Introducción: los micronutrientes son compuestos esenciales presentes en los alimentos, y las dietas deben proporcionar cantidades adecuadas para mantener el crecimiento, el desarrollo y las funciones metabólicas del hombre. Objetivos: revisar la adecuación a las recomendaciones de micronutrientes en la población del estudio ANIBES. Material y métodos: se revisaron los datos publicados del estudio ANIBES para evaluar las ingestas en relación con las ingestas dietéticas recomendadas (IDR) para cada grupo de edad, incluida la población total, plausibles y no plausibles. Resultados: en todos los grupos de edad, los folatos y la vitamina D fueron las vitaminas con la menor proporción de sujetos con ingestas superiores al 80% de la IDR. La ingesta de zinc fue menor en niños, adultos y ancianos, pero no en adolescentes. Sin embargo, el consumo de vitamina D aumentó con la edad. Conclusión: nuestros resultados muestran una ingesta inadecuada de al menos tres micronutrientes claves en todos los grupos de edad. Las autoridades deberían promover políticas nutricionales a nivel nacional para abordar las dietas desequilibradas que se centran en llegar a las poblaciones vulnerables a fin de superar este importante problema de salud pública.

          Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development (BOND)-Zinc Review.

          Zinc is required for multiple metabolic processes as a structural, regulatory, or catalytic ion. Cellular, tissue, and whole-body zinc homeostasis is tightly controlled to sustain metabolic functions over a wide range of zinc intakes, making it difficult to assess zinc insufficiency or excess. The BOND (Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development) Zinc Expert Panel recommends 3 measurements for estimating zinc status: dietary zinc intake, plasma zinc concentration (PZC), and height-for-age of growing infants and children. The amount of dietary zinc potentially available for absorption, which requires an estimate of dietary zinc and phytate, can be used to identify individuals and populations at risk of zinc deficiency. PZCs respond to severe dietary zinc restriction and to zinc supplementation; they also change with shifts in whole-body zinc balance and clinical signs of zinc deficiency. PZC cutoffs are available to identify individuals and populations at risk of zinc deficiency. However, there are limitations in using the PZC to assess zinc status. PZCs respond less to additional zinc provided in food than to a supplement administered between meals, there is considerable interindividual variability in PZCs with changes in dietary zinc, and PZCs are influenced by recent meal consumption, the time of day, inflammation, and certain drugs and hormones. Insufficient data are available on hair, urinary, nail, and blood cell zinc responses to changes in dietary zinc to recommend these biomarkers for assessing zinc status. Of the potential functional indicators of zinc, growth is the only one that is recommended. Because pharmacologic zinc doses are unlikely to enhance growth, a growth response to supplemental zinc is interpreted as indicating pre-existing zinc deficiency. Other functional indicators reviewed but not recommended for assessing zinc nutrition in clinical or field settings because of insufficient information are the activity or amounts of zinc-dependent enzymes and proteins and biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation, or DNA damage.

            Vitamin status and intake as primary determinants of homocysteinemia in an elderly population.

            To describe the distribution of plasma homocysteine concentrations in an elderly population and to analyze the relationship between homocysteine level and intake of vitamins and serum levels of vitamins that serve as coenzymes in homocysteine metabolism. Cross-sectional analysis of homocysteine levels and vitamin blood levels and intake in elderly participants in the Framingham Study. Population-based cohort in Framingham, Mass. A total of 1160 adult survivors, aged 67 to 96 years, from the original Framingham Heart Study cohort. Plasma homocysteine concentration correlated with plasma folate, vitamin B12, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), and oral intakes of these vitamins, and the contribution of these vitamins to the prevalence of elevated homocysteine in the population. Homocysteine levels were positively correlated with age after controlling for vitamin concentrations. After controlling for age, sex, and levels of other vitamins, homocysteine exhibited a strong inverse association with plasma folate. When subjects were grouped by deciles of plasma folate, mean homocysteine was significantly higher in the lowest two folate deciles (15.6 and 13.7 mumol/L, respectively) than in the highest decile (11.0 mumol/L). Homocysteine demonstrated weaker, inverse associations with plasma vitamin B12 and PLP. Similar inverse associations were demonstrated between homocysteine and intakes of folate and vitamin B6, but not vitamin B12. Prevalence of high homocysteine (> 14 mumol/L) was 29.3% in this cohort, and was greatest among subjects with low folate status. Inadequate plasma concentrations of one or more B vitamins appear to contribute to 67% of the cases of high homocysteine. These results indicate a strong association between homocysteine concentration and folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 status, as well as age. It is possible that a substantial majority of the cases of high homocysteine in this older population can be attributed to vitamin status.

              The Mediterranean Diet and Nutritional Adequacy: A Review

              The Mediterranean dietary pattern, through a healthy profile of fat intake, low proportion of carbohydrate, low glycemic index, high content of dietary fiber, antioxidant compounds, and anti-inflammatory effects, reduces the risk of certain pathologies, such as cancer or Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Nutritional adequacy is the comparison between the nutrient requirement and the intake of a certain individual or population. In population groups, the prevalence of nutrient inadequacy can be assessed by the probability approach or using the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) cut-point method. However, dietary patterns can also be used as they have moderate to good validity to assess adequate intakes of some nutrients. The objective of this study was to review the available evidence on the Nutritional Adequacy of the Mediterranean Diet. The inclusion of foods typical of the Mediterranean diet and greater adherence to this healthy pattern was related to a better nutrient profile, both in children and adults, with a lower prevalence of individuals showing inadequate intakes of micronutrients. Therefore, the Mediterranean diet could be used in public health nutrition policies in order to prevent micronutrient deficiencies in the most vulnerable population groups.
