Dietary changes during pregnancy (DP) and post-partum are essential for women’s nutrition status and the health of their offspring. We compared the diet quality DP and at 3-year post-partum (3YPP) and assessed the relationship between maternal diet quality and nutritional status using a prospective cohort design among women in East Jakarta. In total, 107 women were recruited from the study in 2014 and followed up at 3YPP in 2018. The mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), weight, and height were evaluated. Food consumption data were collected from repeated 24-h recalls. The validated US Diet Quality Index-Pregnancy (DQI-P) scores with eight components were calculated using the food consumption data and compared between DP and 3YPP. Associations of the DQI-P score with the MUAC and weight gain DP and body mass index (BMI) at 3YPP were analyzed using multivariable linear and logistic regression. The median of the DQI-P score DP was significantly higher than at 3YPP [35 (27; 42) versus 27 (19; 30); p-value <0.001, respectively]. The higher DQI-P score was associated with increased weight gain DP of 3.3 kg (adjusted β = 3.30, 95% confidence interval = 1.06–5.54) after adjusting for the mother's age and household income. The DQI-P score was not associated with an increased risk of chronic energy deficiency DP and overweight–obesity at 3YPP. Thus, the diet adequacy was associated with weight gain DP but did not affect the MUAC DP and BMI at 3YPP. The DQI-P score DP was slightly better than the diet at 3YPP; however, the overall diet quality was inadequate. In conclusion, a higher DQI-P score was associated with increased weight gain DP of 3.3 kg but was not associated with other nutritional status indices in DP and 3YPP. Innovative dietary quality improvement programs are required to reduce malnutrition risk in pregnant and reproductive-age women.

<p><em>Abstrak -<strong> </strong></em><strong>HIV (</strong><strong><em>Human Immunodeficiency Virus</em></strong><strong>) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan yang belum terselesaikan hingga saat ini. Orang dengan HIV/AIDS (ODHA) memiliki peluang yang besar untuk mengalami kekurangan asupan gizi karena hilangnya nafsu makan, gangguan metabolisme dan penyerapan makanan. Kualitas diet yang baik erat kaitannya dengan penurunan risiko kematian pada ODHA. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kualitas diet pada ibu dengan HIV/AIDS. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain potong lintang <em>(cross sectional)</em>. Penelitian dilakukan dari bulan Januari hingga Oktober 2019, data dikumpulkan terdiri dari karakteristik ibu, riwayat pengobatan serta data konsumsi makanan. Kualitas diet ditentukan diawali dengan tahapan pengelompokan pangan kemudian dikonversi ke dalam bentuk skor dengan menggunakan instrument Indeks Gizi Seimbang (IGS) 3-60. Hasil penelitian pada 14 responden ibu dengan HIV/AIDS menunjukkan bahwa </strong><strong>lebih dari setengah jumlah responden berstatus gizi Normal 57,1%, Gemuk 35,7%, dan paling sedikit responden dengan status gizi Kurus 7,2 %. Indeks Kualitas Diet ibu dengan HIV/AIDS hanya memenuhi 47% dari total skor maksimal IGS 3-60, skor terkecil ditunjukkan oleh indikator kecukupan sayur-sayuran dan konsumsi susu yang berarti kurang. Responden dalam penelitian ini hanya mengonsumsi sayur kurang dari 1 porsi dalam satu hari sedangkan </strong><strong>anjuran untuk mengonsumsi sayur adalah minimal 5 porsi/hari</strong><strong>. Saran penelitian ini agar responden  menjaga kosumsi sayur-sayuran dan harus secara rutin mengontrol berat badan. Selain itu dibutuhkan penelitian lanjutan terkait Kualitas Diet pada ibu dengan HIV/AIDS dengan responden yang lebih banyak dan beragam profesi, tidak dalam lingkup IPPI saja.</strong></p><p><em>Abstract<strong> </strong>- </em><strong>HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is still an unsolved health problem until now. People with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have a great opportunity to experience low nutritional intake due to loss of appetite, metabolic, and food absorption disorders. A good quality diet is closely related to a reduced risk of death of people with HIV. The purpose of this study was to determine the diet quality of mothers with HIV / AIDS. This research was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted from January to October 2019, data collected included respondent characteristics, drug/treatment history, and food consumption data. Food consumption data were processed with food grouping stages and then converted to a score using the Balanced Nutrition Index (IGS) 3-60. The study results from 14 mothers with HIV/AIDS showed that more than half of them had normal nutritional status 57.1%, 35.7% of them were overweight, and 7.2% of them were thin. The diet quality index (DQI) of mothers with HIV/AIDS only met 47% of the maximum total score of IGS 3-60, the smallest score was indicated by the adequacy indicator of vegetables and milk consumption, respondents in this study only consumed vegetables less than 1 serving per day. The suggestion of this research was for respondents to maintain the consumption of vegetables and must routinely control their body weight, further research is also needed on the Diet Quality Index in mothers with HIV / AIDS with a higher respondent number.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keyword - </em></strong><em>HIV/AIDS, DQI, Nutritional Status</em></p>

The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional status of the dormitory students at Nong Lam University, Ho Chi Minh City. The nutritional status was assessed based on body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and body fat percentage. Food consumption data were obtained through the application of a 24-h food recall. Socioeconomic and behavioral variables were obtained by a structured questionnaire. Results from 240 dormitory students (136 females and 104 males) showed means of BMI of 20.37 ± 2.82 kg/m2, WHR means of male and female students of 0.85 and 0.80 respectively; and the average body fat percentage was 20.13 ± 6.49%. Sixty-six percent of students were in normal health status. The proportion of students overweight-obesity was 3.75%, and greater in males higher than in females. The overall malnutrition rate was 29.59%, and greater in female students than in male students. Food consumption data obtained through the application of a 24-h food recall showed that dormitory students frequently consumed high-carbohydrates foods and low-fiber foods (fruits, fresh vegetables). Therefore, there is a need to implement health education interventions strategies to improve the nutritional status of students.

Results of the food consumption surveys are utilized in many areas, such as for example risk assessment, cognition of consumer trends, health education and planning of prevention projects. Standardization of national consumption data for international comparison is an important task. The intention work began in the 1970s. Because of the widespread utilization of food consumption data, many international projects have been done with the aim of their harmonization. The present study shows data collection methods for groups of the food consumption data, their utilization, furthermore, the stations of the international harmonization works in details. The authors underline that for the application of the food consumption data on the international level, it is crucial to harmonize the surveys’ parameters (e.g. time of data collection, method, number of participants, number of the analysed days and the age groups). For this purpose the efforts of the EU menu project, started in 2012, are promising. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 1692–1700.

Abstract Introduction Understanding the various eating habits of different population groups, according to the geographical area, is critical to develop evidence-based policies for nutrition and food safety. The FAO/WHO Global Individual Food consumption data Tool (FAO/WHO GIFT) is a novel open-access online platform, hosted by FAO and supported by WHO, providing access to harmonized individual quantitative food consumption (IQFC) data, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods FAO/WHO GIFT disseminates IQFC data as ready-to-use food-based indicators in the form of infographics, and as microdata. The infographics intend to facilitate the use of these data by policy makers, providing an overview of key data according to population segments and food groups. The microdata is publicly available for download, and is intended for users that would like to do further analysis of the data. Results FAO/WHO GIFT is a growing repository. By June 2020, 14 datasets were available for dissemination and download, and an additional 44 datasets will be made available by 2022. FAO/WHO GIFT also provides an inventory of existing IQFC data worldwide, which currently contains detailed information on 268 surveys conducted in 105 countries. Conclusions FAO/WHO GIFT collates, harmonizes and disseminates IQFC data collected in different countries. This harmonization is aimed at enhancing the consistency and reliability of nutrient intake and dietary exposure assessments globally. FAO/WHO GIFT is developed in synergy with other global initiatives aimed at increasing the quality, availability and use of IQFC data in LMICs to enable evidence-based policy-making for better nutrition and food safety.

Background: To evaluate the potential factors associated with the nutritional composition of human milk of puerperal women. Methods: cross-sectional study, conducted between March 2016 and August 2017, with 107 women, selected in a Tertiary Health Care Tertiary Health Facility of the Unified Health System (SUS) in the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected two months after delivery. The dependent variable of the study was the nutritional composition of human milk. We divided the independent variables into hierarchical levels: distal (age, schooling, parity and pregestational nutritional status), intermediate (number of prenatal visits and gestational weight gain) and proximal (alcohol consumption, smoking, diabetes mellitus and hypertension). For data analysis, we applied the multiple linear regression, centered on the hierarchical model. Only the variables associated with the nutritional composition of breast milk remained in the final model at a 5% level of significance. Results: The nutritional composition of human milk yielded by women with pregestational overweight, smokers and hypertensive had higher amounts of lipids and energy. Conversely, women with gestational weight gain below the recommended had lower amounts of these components. Conclusion: The evaluation of factors associated with the nutritional composition of human milk is extremely important to assist post-partum care practices. In this study, we observed that lipid and energy contents were associated to pregestational nutritional status, gestational weight gain, smoking and hypertension.

Abstract The FAO/WHO Global Individual Food consumption data Tool (FAO/WHO GIFT) is a novel open-access online platform hosted by FAO and supported by WHO. FAO/WHO GIFT is aimed at increasing the quality, availability and use of individual quantitative food consumption (IQFC) data in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) to enable evidence-based decision-making and policy development for better nutrition and food safety. The platform is developed in synergy with other global initiatives working with food consumption data (e.g. Intake, Global Dietary Database, FAO/WHO FOSCOLLAB). The main objective of the session is to give the opportunity to participants to apply the knowledge gained over the previous sessions. Participants will be divided in small groups to do hands-on exercises using the features of the platform. Participants will learn how to identify existing IQFC surveys worldwide using the FAO/WHO GIFT inventory map. Participants will also explore the potential of the Indicators section of the platform according to the needs of different fields of work (food consumption, food safety and nutrition). Expert users will learn how to download dietary microdata and how to take advantage of other data sources using the same food classification and description system - FoodEx2. The workshop will close with a brainstorm session on how the FAO/WHO GIFT platform can be improved to support participants work.

Aim: to describe physical activity and ultra-processed foods consumption, their changes and sociodemographic predictors among adolescents from countries in Europe (Italy and Spain) and Latin America (Brazil, Chile, and Colombia) during the SARS-CoV-2-pandemic period. Methods: Cross-sectional study via web survey. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and weekly ultra-processed food consumption data were used. To compare the frequencies of physical activity status with sociodemographic variables, a multinomial logistic and a multiple logistic regression for habitual ultra-processed foods was performed. In final models, p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Sample of 726 adolescents, mostly females (59.6%) aged 16–19 years old (54.3%). Adolescents from Latin America presented odds ratio (OR) 2.98 (CI 95% 1.80–4.94) of being inactive and those whose mothers had higher level of education were less active during lockdown [OR 0.40 (CI 95% 0.20–0.84)]. The habitual ultra-processed consumption was also high during this period in all countries, and more prevalent in Latin America. Conclusion: A higher prevalence of inactivity was observed in this population, but reductions of physical activity and habitual ultra-processed consumption during the pandemic were more pronounced in Latin America. Our findings reinforce the importance of promoting a healthy lifestyle, i.e., exercise and diet, during periods of social isolation.
