Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Diet is the main factor influencing the development of the body and maintaining its good condition. A properly balanced diet provides the body with all the compounds necessary for the proper functioning of the organism and its individual systems, such as the immune, digestive, or cardiovascular systems. The growing interest in diets targeted at narrow groups of consumers/patients or in restrictive/elimination diets makes it increasingly important to demonstrate the role of individual ingredients consumed in optimum, deficiency, or excess. This Special Issue will focus on both the positive and negative role of animal-derived diet compounds in maintaining health and preventing the development of disease at all stages of human life.

We welcome submissions including, but not limited to, the following areas:

-Human studies (epidemiological and interventional);

-Mechanistic studies aiming at elucidating the biological basis of observed phenomena in in vitro and in vivo animal models.

Mental health disparities exist between rural and metro areas of the United States. Differences in dietary intake may contribute to these disparities. We examined differences in dietary intake and mental health between those 50 years and older (n = 637) living in rural counties to those living in metro counties in North Dakota and the relationship between dietary intake to days with depression or anxiety. A survey was conducted throughout North Dakota. Items were modified from other surveys, such as the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System questionnaires and the National Health Interview Survey Cancer Control Supplement Dietary Screener Questionnaire. Comparing medians, individuals more likely to be unable to perform normal daily activities due to mental health (p = 0.009) resided in rural areas instead of metro areas. Those living rurally also ate more processed meats (p = 0.005), while trending toward less lean protein intake (p = 0.056). Multinomial regression analyses controlling for covariates revealed that lean protein intake and fruit intake were inversely associated with days with depression and anxiety (all p < 0.05), whereas processed meat intake was positively associated with anxiety (p = 0.005). Clinicians working with older adults residing in rural areas should emphasize substituting lean proteins for processed meats. Full article

Although meat and meat products are important sources of protein in the human diet, consumption appears to be a predisposing factor in the onset of several civilisation diseases, particularly red meat and its products. One way to reduce diet-related diseases is to guide consumers towards consciously purchasing healthier foods by including a nutrition declaration on product labels, such as by using a “front-of-pack” (FOP) labelling system. This study aimed to determine the Nutri-Score classes for processed meat products, distinguish products that are potentially better for consumers, and determine whether the refined algorithm significantly contributed to a change in product classification. An analysis of the labels of 1700 products available on the Polish market indicated that most processed meat products qualified as class D and E. Comparing the refined Nutri-Score calculation algorithm with the original algorithm resulted in a slight change in product allocation. Poultry products were ranked more favourably than red meat products. The most significant change in product allocation (by 35.2%) was achieved by reducing salt content by 30% and fat content by 10%. Among the processed meat products, some are more highly ranked and are hence considered better from a nutritional perspective than others in that group. Full article

Pork has the potential to provide several macro and micronutrients to the diet, as it is a commonly consumed protein in the United States and across many cultures worldwide. There is an absence of clinical and observational studies that isolate the nutritional contribution of various types of pork intake from that of other red and/or processed meats. The objective of this study was to assess consumption patterns and the nutritional contribution of total, processed, fresh, and fresh-lean pork to the diets of participants aged 2+ years enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2018 data cycles. The recent National Cancer Institute method was used to disaggregate fresh and processed pork intake from the USDA Food Patterns Equivalents Database. The mean intake of total pork among consumers was estimated to be 79.5 ± 0.82, 54.2 ± 0.69, 54.6 ± 0.93, and 45.9 ± 0.73, g/d for men, women, boys, and girls, respectively. Total pork consumption subtly increased intakes of total energy and several macro and micronutrients, decreased diet quality (HEI-2015) scores (adults only), and consumption of other “healthful” food groups. Only subtle but clinically insignificant effects of pork intake on biomarkers of nutritional status were shown. These trends were largely driven by processed pork consumption and the co-consumption of foods such as condiments. Increasing the availability and education around fresh-lean cuts may help to increase intake of protein and other key nutrients across certain subpopulations, without adversely affecting diet quality and biomarkers of health status.
