Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been associated with low adherence to the 2017 French food-based dietary guidelines, as assessed by the Programme National Nutrition Santé - guidelines score 2 (PNNS-GS2). Whether the association between T2D and PNNS-GS2 is direct or mediated by obesity has been little investigated. ⋯ Higher adherence to French food-based dietary guidelines was associated with a lower risk of T2D in women, and a significant portion of this effect could be attributed to excess weight measured by BMI or WHR. This finding helps better understand the mechanisms underlying the diet-T2D association.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Adherence and impact of an oral nutritional supplement enriched in leucine, EVOO, EPA and DHA, and beta-glucans on the coverage of energy and protein requirements in patients with cancer and malnutrition: Alisenoc study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of an enhanced ONS (enriched in EPA, DHA, leucine, and beta-glucans) on the dietary intake of cancer patients. ⋯ The use of an enhanced-ONS helps meet the nutritional requirements of cancer patients, especially those who have a more compromised clinical condition, with high adherence, good tolerance, and acceptance.

Complementary feeding refers to the practice of providing solid foods and liquids in addition to breast milk when a baby reaches 6 mo of age. This becomes necessary to meet a baby's nutritional needs because of the potential nutrient insufficiency of breast milk alone. This review serves as an effective means to comprehensively understand the intricate and evolving nature of complementary feeding practices, often influenced by cultural, regional, and parental factors, from a literature perspective that acknowledges the dynamic aspects of complementary feeding. ⋯ A total of 1205 eligible studies were retrieved from the three databases searched, with 17 articles finally reviewed for data extraction. Overall, there remains a gap between mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding complementary feeding. Addressing these disparities within and between countries necessitates targeted interventions and educational programs to enhance mothers' understanding, align attitudes with guidelines, and promote healthier practices for the well-being of children.

This study is an assessment of home parenteral nutrition service performance and safety and efficacy outcomes in patients with benign chronic intestinal failure. ⋯ This study confirms the importance of setting up and maintaining structured registries to monitor and improve home parenteral nutrition care. Safety outcomes have improved over the years, most likely due to the underlying efficient nursing service.

Multicenter Study
Body composition radiomic features as a predictor of survival in patients with non-small cellular lung carcinoma: A multicenter retrospective study.
This study combined two novel approaches in oncology patient outcome predictions-body composition and radiomic features analysis. The aim of this study was to validate whether automatically extracted muscle and adipose tissue radiomic features could be used as a predictor of survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. ⋯ Automatically extracted muscle and adipose tissue radiomic features could be used as a predictor of survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
