Explore the associations between dietary choline intake and the incidence of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and current cognitive performance in the UK Biobank cohort.

Diet quality during pregnancy may affect offspring's neurobiology and cognitive performance in childhood. However, little is known about underlying mechanisms and potential long-term effects.

Diet affects the development of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, but the underlying biological mechanisms are only partly understood.

Alcohol intake can the alter gut microbiome, which may subsequently affect human health. However, limited population-based, prospective studies have investigated associations of habitual and recent alcohol intake with the gut microbiome, particularly among Black/African American individuals.

Adolescence to early adulthood is a period of multiple life transitions. These transitions, along with changing resources and contexts, could contribute to significant changes in diet, which may persist into later adulthood.

Food is Medicine interventions are increasingly employed to address food and nutrition insecurity and diet sensitive conditions, and advance health equity. Produce prescription (PRx) programs hold particular promise, providing funds to purchase fruits and vegetables as part of a treatment plan. Despite early evidence, key knowledge gaps remain regarding redemption and activity rates, identified as critical but understudied factors with research, clinical, and policy implications.

The development of the breast for lactation occurs throughout pregnancy. It is unknown whether pregnancy complications resulting in poor fetal growth can affect breastfeeding success.

The associations between changes in fatty acid intake over time and subsequent mortality are unclear.

The infant gut microbiome undergoes rapid changes in the first year of life, supporting normal development and long-term health. While diet shapes this process, the role of fibers in complementary foods on gut microbiome maturation is poorly understood.

Increasing consumer reliance on prenatal multivitamins and minerals (PMVMs) underscores the importance of ensuring their quality and safety. Adequate choline and iodine intakes during pregnancy are crucial for fetal development, yet discrepancies between labeled and actual content in PMVM products pose significant health risks. Additionally, the potential presence of toxic heavy metals, such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium, raises concerns about potential adverse health effects.

Although interventions to change nutrition policies, systems, and environments (PSE) for children are generally cost-effective for preventing childhood obesity, existing evidence suggests that nutrition education curricula, without accompanying PSE changes, are more commonly implemented.

Iron deficiency affects a large proportion of pregnant women worldwide, with potentially serious consequences for perinatal and infant outcomes, but well-powered, comprehensive analyses of longitudinal iron status during pregnancy are scarce.

DNA methylation (DNAm) has unique properties which makes it a potential biomarker for lifestyle-related exposures. Epigenetic clocks, particularly DNAm-based biological age predictors [epigenetic age (EA)], represent an exciting new area of clinical research and deviations of EA from chronological age [epigenetic age acceleration (EAA)] have been linked to overall health, age-related diseases, and environmental exposures.

Gaps persist in the data on diets and on the validity of dietary assessment methods in youth in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to costs constraints. Although computer vision-assisted dietary assessment tools have been proposed, limited evidence exists on their validity in LMICs.

Our previous animal study revealed that supplementation with milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) alleviated Alzheimer's disease pathology in mice. We hypothesized that supplementation with whey protein powder rich in MFGM, taurine, and B vitamins would improve cognitive function in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
