Nutrition disorders are diseases that occur when a person's dietary intake does not contain the right amount of nutrients for healthy functioning, or when a person cannot correctly absorb nutrients from food. Nutrition disorders can be caused by undernutrition, overnutrition or an incorrect balance of nutrients.
Trajectories of obesity prevalence over the past 45 years reveal patterns of growth, plateau and decline that differ across high-, middle- and low-income countries.
Here, the authors show that microbiome network topology associates with metabolic health across obesity phenotypes, with reduced connectivity in metabolically unhealthy states and improved network structure following a nutritional intervention.
The contribution of homestead food production (HFP) to nutrition and dietary diversity is context-specific and involves multiple pathways. Using panel data on 2,612 women in 96 settlements in rural Bangladesh, this study identifies and measures the impact pathways of a 3-year HFP intervention.
Nutrient deficiencies are widespread, but blood tests are often inconvenient. Here, the authors develop a wearable electrochemical platform for noninvasive, real-time detection of multiple low-concentration vitamins in sweat and validate its performance in human studies.
Trajectories of obesity prevalence over the past 45 years reveal patterns of growth, plateau and decline that differ across high-, middle- and low-income countries.
A study identifies gene variants that help explain why some people respond better to GLP-1 medications than others, paving the way for precision approaches to treating obesity.
Genetic variants in GLP1R and GIPR, which encode targets of GLP-1-based medications, offer insights into why responses to these drugs vary and who might face adverse effects.
