Depression is one of the most common diseases in the older population. Difficulties in recognizing its etiology and recurrence make depression a major challenge for health care professionals. ⋯ However, so far, no nutritional recommendations on how to reduce the risk of the disease and its relapses in older adults have been developed. This review outlines research results of conducted studies and focuses on both basic and potentially promising elements of diet, such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, dietary fiber, vitamins (D, E, C, and B), and microelements such as magnesium, zinc, selenium, or iron.

Review Meta Analysis
Intake of ultra-processed foods and sleep-related outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The aim of this review article was to evaluate the association between the intake of ultra-processed foods and sleep-related outcomes through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Pubmed, LILACS, Scielo, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science were searched on December 31, 2021, for studies that evaluated the association between ultra-processed foods and sleep-related outcomes (self-reported sleep duration and quality). Pooled odds ratios were assessed through a random-effects model; heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 statistic. ⋯ When adjusted for cofounders, we found statistically significant results for all ages. The high intake of ultra-processed foods was associated with sleep-related outcomes, with moderate credibility of the evidence. Longitudinal studies and clinical trials confirming these findings are necessary.

Multicenter Study
Analysis of ESPEN and GLIM algorithms reveals specific drivers for the diagnosis of malnutrition in patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases.
Disease-related malnutrition (MN) is common in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), short bowel syndrome (SBS), and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Different MN risk screening tools and diagnostic criteria of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) algorithms were analyzed for their diagnostic accuracy and role as specific drivers to diagnose MN in patients with LC, SBS, and CP. ⋯ RFH-NPT and MUST performed better in conjunction with the GLIM algorithm than NRS-2002. MN was diagnosed more frequently by GLIM than the ESPEN algorithm in LC, SBS, and CP. Individual criteria acted as specific drivers in MN in chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

Multicenter Study
Effect of malnutrition and nutritional support to reduce infections in elderly hospitalized patients with cancer: A multicenter survey in China.
Malnutrition is common among elderly patients with cancer, and greatly affects patients' quality of life. Malnutrition is a key factor in the development of systemic, chronic, low-grade inflammation that can exacerbate. ⋯ Many elderly hospitalized patients with cancer have local or systemic infections, and good nutrition is associated with lower rates of infection. Receiving nutritional guidance or support is associated with lower infection rates in elderly patients with cancer.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of regular consumption of four low- or no-calorie sweeteners on glycemic response in healthy women: A randomized controlled trial.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of regular exposure to certain low- or no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) on glucose tolerance and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) release in healthy individuals. ⋯ gov as NCT04904133.
