Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The assessment of dietary intake makes it possible to determine the intake of energy and nutrients and compare it with the reference values, helping the general population, athletes or a population under study to identify inadequate patterns that prevent these groups from meeting nutritional requirements.

In addition, the relationship between dietary patterns and the appearance of chronic diseases has been observed, showing that a healthy diet with the practice of physical activity is one of the modifiable factors that directly influences the prevention and appearance of these diseases.

In recent years, new technologies have introduced different ways of recording dietary intake, reducing the effort of respondents and improving the accuracy of traditional recording methods, such as 24-hour recall and food frequency questionnaires, among others.

Supply chain disruptions, human and animal health concerns, and environmental impacts of livestock production have spurred renewed attention to animal protein consumption in the U.S. Prior research has sought to better understand animal protein consumption by assessing demographic and socioeconomic determinants. However, physical exercise represents a behavioral determinant of consumption that is societally important and, thus far, has not been considered in empirical assessments. Our objective was to quantify the association of exercise with the consumption of total protein, beef, pork, poultry, seafood, eggs, and dairy among U.S. adults. We analyzed 24 h dietary recall and physical activity data from adults in the 2007–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The association of exercise with protein consumption (total and disaggregated animal protein) was assessed using ordinary least squares and multivariate Tobit regression. Non-linear associations of exercise with total protein consumption were found, with the magnitude of association highest at 121–180 min per day of exercise. Non-linear associations were also found with animal protein consumption, which differed in sign and magnitude across protein sources. The magnitudes of association, paired with a sizable share of the study sample engaged in exercise, suggest a substantial influence of exercise on protein consumption habits in the U.S. Full article
