Clinical and Sociodemographic Determinants of Adherence to World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) Recommendations in Breast Cancer Survivors-Health-EpiGEICAM Study.

Breast cancer (BC) survivors are advised to follow the WCRF/AICR cancer prevention recommendations, given their high risk of developing a second tumour. We aimed to explore compliance with these recommendations in BC survivors and to identify potentially associated clinical and sociodemographic factors. A total of 420 BC survivors, aged 31-80, was recruited from 16 Spanish hospitals. Epidemiological, dietary and physical activity information was collected through questionnaires. A 7-item score to measure compliance with the recommendations was built according to the 2018 WCRF/AICR scoring criteria. Standardized prevalences and standardized prevalence ratios of moderate and high compliance across participant characteristics were estimated using multinomial and binary logistic regression models. The mean score was 3.9 (SD: 1.0) out of 7 points. Recommendations with the worst adherence were those of limiting consumption of red/processed meats (12% of compliance, 95% CI: 8.2-15.0) and high fibre intake (22% of compliance, 95% CI: 17.6-27.0), while the best compliance was observed for the consumption of fruits and vegetables (73% of compliance, 95% CI: 69.2-77.7). Overall, adherence was worse in women with university education and in those with first-degree relatives with BC. This information may be of interest to design and implement personalized preventive measures adapted to the characteristics of these patients.

Sociodemographic and Lifestyle Determinants of Adherence to Current Dietary Recommendations and Diet Quality in Middle-Aged Spanish Premenopausal Women.

Background: A healthy diet when approaching menopause could prevent some of the symptoms associated with the climacteric. Few studies examine adherence to current healthy dietary recommendations in middle-aged premenopausal women. Our objective was to analyze the diet quality and the adherence to the Spanish Society of Community Nutrition (SENC) dietary recommendations in middle-aged Spanish premenopausal women, and to identify the associated sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study based on 1251 premenopausal women, aged 39-50, who attended to Madrid City Council Medical Diagnostic Center. Women completed an epidemiological and a food frequency questionnaire. Degree of adherence to the SENC recommendations was estimated with a score that evaluated null (0 points) and full (1 point) adherence of each specific recommendation. Associations were explored using an ordinal logistic multivariable regression model. Results: Regarding food groups, the worst adherence was found for sweets, red/processed meat, olive oil and eggs. Most of the participants exceeded the recommended caloric intake from proteins and fats, and practically all of them showed vitamin D intake deficiency. The overall score ranged from 2 to 12 (out of 15), with a median of 6.0 (interquartile range: 5.0-7.0). Former smokers (OR: 1.38; 95%CI: 1.08-1.78), as well as those with higher educational level (ORSSecondary:1.68; 95%CI: 0.97-2.93, ORUniversity:1.82; 95%IC: 1.05-3.14), with two or more children (OR: 1.31; 95%IC: 1.00-1.72), with higher caloric intake (OR>2188.2kcal/day: 8.22; 95%CI: 6.19-10.92) and with greater physical activity (OR≥21METS-h/week: 1.29; 95%CI: 0.95-1.76) showed greater adherence. Conclusions: Almost two-thirds of middle-aged premenopausal participants showed low or moderate compliance with SENC recommendations. Education, smoking, parity, and physical activity were associated with the degree of adherence to these recommendations.

Factors Associated with Serum Vitamin D Metabolites and Vitamin D Metabolite Ratios in Premenopausal Women.

The most representative indicator of vitamin D status in clinical practice is 25(OH)D3, but new biomarkers could improve the assessment of vitamin D status and metabolism. The objective of this study is to investigate the association of serum vitamin D metabolites and vitamin D metabolite ratios (VMRs) with potentially influential factors in premenopausal women. This is a cross-sectional study based on 1422 women, aged 39-50, recruited from a Madrid Medical Diagnostic Center. Participants answered an epidemiological and a food frequency questionnaire. Serum vitamin D metabolites were determined using an SPE-LC-MS/MS platform. The association between participant's characteristics, vitamin D metabolites, and VMRs was quantified by multiple linear regression models. Mean 25(OH)D3 concentration was 49.2 + 18.9 nmol/L, with greater deficits among obese, nulliparous, dark-skinned women, and with less sun exposure. A lower R2 ratio (1,25(OH)2D3/25(OH)D3) and a higher R4 (24,25(OH)2D3/1,25(OH)2D3) were observed in nulliparous women, with high sun exposure, and those with low caloric intake or high consumption of calcium, vitamin D supplements, or alcohol. Nulliparous women had lower R1 (25(OH)D3/Vit D3) and R3 (24,25(OH)2D3/25(OH)D3), and older women showed lower R3 and R4. Vitamin D status modified the association of the VMRs with seasons. VMRs can be complementary indicators of vitamin D status and its endogenous metabolism, and reveal the influence of certain individual characteristics on the expression of hydroxylase enzymes.

Composition and Nutritional Quality of the Diet in Spanish Households during the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In Spain, the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to the declaration of a state of alarm in the whole country in 2020; in this context, a nationwide lockdown was implemented, potentially altering the dietary habits of the population. The aims of this study were to describe the diet and its nutritional quality in Spanish households during the first COVID-19 epidemic wave and to compare them with the same period in 2019. Data on monthly foods and beverages household purchases in 2019 and 2020 were obtained from the nationwide Food Consumption Surveys. In April, there was an average increase, compared with 2019, of more than 40% for all food groups, with significant peaks in: alcoholic beverages (75%), appetizers (60%), eggs (59%), sugar and sweets (52%), and vegetables (50%). In March, the greatest peak was for pulses, with a 63% increment. The mean energy value of purchased foods in April was 2801 kcal/person/day, corresponding to an increase of 771 kcal/person/day (+38%), compared to the same month of 2019 (March and May: +520 kcal (+26%), June: +343 kcal (+18%)). Regarding nutrient density, there was a reduction in calcium, iodine, zinc, selenium, riboflavin, vitamins B12, D, A, especially retinol, and an increase in fibre, sodium, folic acid, carotenes and vitamin E. Alcohol content per 1000 kcal increased by more than 20% from April to July. Food purchase patterns in Spanish households changed during lockdown and after it, with no appreciable improvement in the quality of the diet.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods and drinks and colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer.

AIMS: To study whether the consumption of ultra-processed foods and drinks is associated with breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers. METHODS: Multicentric population-based case-control study (MCC-Spain) conducted in 12 Spanish provinces. Participants were men and women between 20 and 85 years of age with diagnoses of colorectal (n = 1852), breast (n = 1486), or prostate cancer (n = 953), and population-based controls (n = 3543) frequency-matched by age, sex, and region. Dietary intake was collected using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Foods and drinks were categorized according to their degree of processing based on the NOVA classification. Unconditional multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between ultra-processed food and drink consumption and colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer. RESULTS: In multiple adjusted models, consumption of ultra-processed foods and drinks was associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (OR for a 10% increase in consumption: 1.11; 95% CI 1.04-1.18). The corresponding odds for breast (OR 1.03; 95% CI 0.96-1.11) and prostate cancer (OR 1.02; 95% CI 0.93-1.12) were indicative of no association. CONCLUSIONS: Results of this large population-based case-control study suggest an association between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and drinks and colorectal cancer. Food policy and public health should include a focus on food processing when formulating dietary guidelines.

Association between Polyphenol Intake and Breast Cancer Risk by Menopausal and Hormone Receptor Status.

There is limited evidence of phenolic compounds acting as protective agents on several cancer types, including breast cancer (BC). Nevertheless, some polyphenol classes have not been investigated and there is a lack of studies assessing the effect on menopausal status and hormone receptor status as influenced by these compounds. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between the intake of all polyphenol classes in relation to the BC risk by menopausal and hormone receptor status. We used data from a population-based multi-case-control study (MCC-Spain) including 1472 BC cases and 1577 controls from 12 different regions of Spain. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CI were calculated using logistic regression of mixed effects by quartiles and log2 of polyphenol intakes (adjusted for the residual method) of overall BC, menopausal and receptor status. No associations were found between total intake of polyphenols and BC risk. However, inverse associations were found between stilbenes and all BC risk (ORQ4 vs. Q1: 0.70, 95%CI: 0.56-0.89, Ptrend = 0.001), the consumption of hydroxybenzaldehydes (ORQ4 vs. Q1: 0.75, 95%CI: 0.59-0.93, Ptrend = 0.012) and hydroxycoumarins (ORQ4 vs. Q1: 0.73, 95%CI: 0.57-0.93; Ptrend = 0.005) were also inversely associated. The intake of stilbenes, hydroxybenzaldehydes and hydroxycoumarins can contribute to BC reduction risk on all menopausal and receptor statuses.

Introduction: At the end of the 20th century there was no precise knowledgment of whether the food delivered at schools supported the children´s diets. Furthermore, this additional service was not included in the educational plan of the school, even though it had an impact in the pupils´ education in several ways. Objective: To describe the origins and development of School Meals Programme of the Community of Madrid after 15 years of functioning. Methods: A law gathering all the nutritional aspects, composition and variety of the menus was implemented and had to be followed by all the catering companies. Such law was used in different terms (2001, 2002, 2005, 2009 and 2013) to choose who could access to the school meals service. Visits to the schools without previous warning took place to verify that they were complying with the standards. Results: The most recent nutritional standards about the planning and elaboration of the school menus are gathered at the 2013 «Pliego de Prescripciones Técnicas» (C-504/001-2013). As an average, 92% of the participating catering companies approved in the fi ve terms. Until year 2014, 755 visits to these schools took place, revising a total of 574 of them. Conclusions: The School Meals Programme of the Community of Madrid, since the pioneer implementation in Spain, has markedly contributed to the improvement of this key service in the schools. Over these years new dietary requirements have been progressively introduced to produce more suitable menus to fit the scholar population recommendations (AU)

Fifty years of beverages consumption trends in Spanish households.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the evolution of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages consumption in the Spanish households from the 60's to nowadays. METHODS: This study is based on beverages and food consumption in Spanish households; the data sample consisted of consumption and distribution data, obtained from the Household Budget Survey (HBS) since 1964 to 1991 and from the Food Consumption Survey (FCS) since 2000 to 2014, in collaboration with the Spanish Nutrition Foundation (FEN). RESULTS: In 2014 the average consumption of non-alcoholic beverages was 332 g/person/day, whereas alcoholic beverages consumption represented 72.6 g/person/day. Consumption of non-alcoholic beverages has increased 721% (1964: 46 g/person/day; 1991: 96 g/person/day; 2000: 240 g/person/day and 2014: 332 g/person/day), whereas alcoholic beverages consumption has decreased roughly a 50% (1964: 145 g/person/day; 1991: 113 g/person/day; 2000: 78.4 g/person/day and 2014: 72.6 g/person/day). The most consumed alcoholic beverage in 2014 was beer (41.3 g/day), followed by wine (23.0 g/day). Regarding non-alcoholic beverages, the most consumed was water (144 g/day), followed by cola (ordinary: 30.7 g/day and diet: 20.5 g/day).According to Spanish regions, in 2014 non-alcoholic beverages were the most consumed in the islands (Balearic Islands 521 grams/person/day; Canary Islands 515 grams/person/day), as it was in the nineties (Balearic Islands 148 grams/person/day and Canary Islands 281 grams/person/day). However in 1980-81 the largest consumption of alcoholic beverages was that of Galicia, 408 g/person per day, and the lower in the Canary Islands, 63 g/person per day. In 2014, Murcia and Andalucía represented the regions with the highest consumption of alcoholic beverages. In 2014, alcoholic beverages provided roughly 1.89% of the total energy and 1.47% of sugars, whereas non-alcoholic beverages provided 3.28% of energy and 15.72% of sugars and, in 2000, alcoholic beverages contributed 2.29% of the energy and 1.47% of sugars and non-alcoholic drinks provided 3.76% of the energy and 22.7% of sugars. CONCLUSION: There have been signifi cant changes in the eating patterns at the Spanish homes, especially regarding beverages consumption, over the last five decades. In general, a higher consumption and variety for non-alcoholic drinks has occurred, especially in the islands. In parallel, a decline in alcoholic beverages consumption has been clearly observed.

Macronutrients contribution from beverages according to sex and age: findings from the ANIBES Study in Spain.

Methodologies and procedures used in dietary surveys have been widely developed with the aim of evaluating the nutritional status of a population. However, beverages are often either disregarded at national and international assessment of nutrients intake or poorly mentioned. Moreover, there is no standardized questionnaire developed as a research tool for the evaluation of beverages intake in the general population. Moreover, the contribution of different beverages to macronutrients intake is rarely provided. The latter in the context of a continuous expansion and innovation of the beverages market in Spain. Therefore, the main goal of the present study was to evaluate non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages macronutrients contribution in the ANIBES study in Spain (9-75 years old).As expected, those contributed to dietary macronutrient intake mainly as total carbohydrates and sugar. The contribution to other macronutrients (proteins and lipids) by the beverage groups was of much less importance. For non-alcoholic beverages, contribution to carbohydrates was much higher in younger populations (children: 10.91 ± 9.49%, mean ± SD for boys and 9.46 ± 8.83% for girls; adolescents: 11.97 ± 11.26% for men and 13.77 ± 10.55% in women) than in adults: 9.01 ± 9.84% for men and 7.77 ± 8.73% in women. Finally, a much lower contribution was observed in the elderly: 4.22 ± 6.10% for men and 4.46 ± 6.56% for women. No sex differences, however, across all age groups were found. Results for sugar contribution showed a similar trend: children (23.14 ± 19.00% for boys and 19.77 ± 17.35% for girls); adolescents (28.13 ± 24.17% for men and 29.83 ± 21.82% in women); adults 20.42 ± 20.35% for men and 16.95 ± 17.76% in women, p ≤ 0.01; and elderly: 14.63% ± 9.97 for men and 9.33 ± 12.86% in women. The main contribution corresponded to sugared soft drinks, juices and nectars, more relevant and significant in the younger populations. As for alcoholic beverages, the contribution of macronutrients to the total diet is low for carbohydrates and sugar. The main contribution of this group, as expected, is alcohol, being higher from low alcohol content beverages, and in men vs women (p ≤ 0.001).

A new educational tool to learn about hydration: taste workshops for children.

INTRODUCTION: Nutrition education contributes to children´s understanding and practice of healthy lifestyles behaviors. Having a well hydration status is an essential topic, especially since children are a vulnerable population who are much more  prone to dehydration than adults are. The approval of the Report on the European Gastronomic Heritage: Cultural and Educational Aspects in 2014 served as starting point to work on innovative audio-visual and multimedia materials for children. The Spanish Nutrition Foundation (FEN) and the Royal Academy of Gastronomy (RAG), in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport in Spain (MECD),  developed educational videos for schoolchildren to learn about food, nutrition and gastronomy, specially, the importance of being hydrated. OBJECTIVES: To develop a serial of videos for children between 3 and 9 years old with nutrition and cooking lessons to be used as educational resources in the official curricula. METHODS: Fourteen chapters related to food, nutrition, gastronomy, physical activity and hydration to be used to record videos were designed and tested. A nutritionist, a chef and two puppets were the main characters acting in the videos.  RESULTS: The chapters were assembled in nine videos that included five sections: introduction, video lesson, recipes -in case of hydration, recipes with different water content foods were recorded-, what have you learntand check your knowledge. A summary of the new educational material was officially presented at the Spain Pavilion during the Expo Milano 2015. Moreover, they are included as education  tool for teachers in the new PANGEI Programme (Food, Nutrition and Gastronomy for Infantile Education) conjointly launched by FEN, RAG and MEDC. CONCLUSION: Taste workshops are useful as innovative nutrition education tools to reinforce language, listening and motor skills as well as food and nutrition concepts, and specially, the importance of being well hydrated.

Sources of information on food consumption in Spain and Europe / Fuentes de información sobre el consumo alimentario en España y Europa

Estimation of food consumption and nutrient intake is a topic of growing interest. Currently, both in Europe and in Spain, there are numerous sources of information on food consumption, that we provide information on different levels: national, household and individual, all of them are useful, but including some limitations, mainly arising from the lack of accurate data on food purchased but not consumed. The data obtained allow, among other things, meet dietary habits, explore the food quality, study the energy and nutrient intake and / or assessing exposure to food risks. Among the existing sources in Spain can highlight two surveys especially useful: the Household Budget Survey of the National Statistics Institute (INE) and Food Consumption Panel Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment (MAGRAMA). Both provide for many years food consumption but, lately, only in households. Both European and Spanish would be necessary to improve the usefulness of the data, standardize the type of survey used and could be comparable between them (AU)

La estimación del consumo de alimentos y la ingesta de nutrientes es un tema de creciente interés. Actualmente, tanto en Europa como en España, existen fuentes de información sobre el consumo de alimentos, que nos ofrecen esta información a distintos niveles: nacional, familiar o individual, todas ellas son de gran utilidad, pero incluyen algunas limitaciones, principalmente derivadas de la falta de datos precisos sobre los alimentos comprados pero no consumidos. Los datos obtenidos permiten, entre otras, conocer los hábitos alimentarios, explorar la calidad de la alimentación, estudiar la ingesta de energía y nutrientes y/o evaluar la exposición a riesgos alimentarios. Entre las fuentes existentes en España se pueden resaltar dos encuestas de especial utilidad: la encuesta de presupuestos familiares del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) y el panel de consumo de alimentos del Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente (MAGRAMA). Ambas proporcionan desde hace bastantes años la información relativa al consumo de alimentos pero, últimamente, sólo en hogares. Tanto a nivel europeo como español sería necesario, para mejorar la utilidad de los datos, estandarizar el tipo de encuestas utilizadas, para ser comparables entre ellas (AU)

La estimación del consumo de alimentos y la ingesta de nutrientes es un tema de creciente interés. Actualmente, tanto en Europa como en España, existen fuentes de información sobre el consumo de alimentos, que nos ofrecen esta información a distintos niveles: nacional, familiar o individual, todas ellas son de gran utilidad, pero incluyen algunas limitaciones, principalmente derivadas de la falta de datos precisos sobre los alimentos comprados pero no consumidos. Los datos obtenidos permiten, entre otras, conocer los hábitos alimentarios, explorar la calidad de la alimentación, estudiar la ingesta de energía y nutrientes y/o evaluar la exposición a riesgos alimentarios. Entre las fuentes existentes en España se pueden resaltar dos encuestas de especial utilidad: la encuesta de presupuestos familiares del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) y el panel de consumo de alimentos del Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente (MAGRAMA). Ambas proporcionan desde hace bastantes años la información relativa al consumo de alimentos pero, últimamente, sólo en hogares. Tanto a nivel europeo como español sería necesario, para mejorar la utilidad de los datos, estandarizar el tipo de encuestas utilizadas, para ser comparables entre ellas.

Beverages consumption evaluation in spanish households according to the food consumption survey 2000-2012 / Evaluación del consumo de bebidas en hogares españoles de acuerdo al panel de consumo alimentario 2000-2012

Objectives: To evaluate alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages intake in the Spanish population according to the whole diet context, disaggregated by regions, socioeconomic levels, habitat size and typology of the main responsible for food/beverages basket. To analyze the beverages trends historically but mainly in recent years as well as their nutritional impact for the Spanish population. Methods/Design: This study is based on the household consumption (Food Consumption Survey) assessed by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) and the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment (MA GRAMA), in collaboration with the Spanish Nutrition Foundation (FEN). The sample consisted of all homes in the Iberian Peninsula plus Balearic and Canary Islands. Results: In 2012 the average consumption of non-alcoholic beverages was 316 g/person/day, and alcohol beverages consumption represented 81 g/person/day. Non-alcoholic drinks consumption has increased by 31,7% from 2000 to 2012 whereas for alcoholic drinks was only 3,3%. By regions, alcoholic beverages intake was higher in Murcia with 113 g/person/day whereas for non-alcoholic was higher in Canary Islands with 538 g/person/day. As for socioeconomic status it was observed that both, alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages consumption is higher for high and medium-high status. Alcoholic beverages provide roughly 2.2% of total energy and 0.7% of carbohydrate whereas non-alcoholic beverages provide 2.6% of the energy and 5.8% the carbohydrates. Conclusions: There has a been a dramatic increase in nonalcoholic drinks consumption in recent years and very small change for alcoholic drinks. Energy contribution of these groups should be considered low mainly when compared to other European countries (AU)

Objetivos: Evaluar la ingesta en hogares españoles de bebidas alcohólicas y no alcohólicas, en el contexto global de la dieta, y de acuerdo también a factores como la zona geográfica, nivel socioeconómico, tamaño del lugar de residencia, o actividad principal del responsable de la compra de alimentos. Igualmente, analizar las tendencias históricas en el consumo de bebidas, así como su impacto potencial en el estado nutricional de la población española. Métodos/diseño: El estudio se basa en el Panel de Consumo Alimentario, que desarrollan el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), y el Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación, y Medio Ambiente (MAGRAMA), estando la responsabilidad de la interpretación de la dieta a cargo de la Fundación Española de la Nutrición (FEN). La muestra, representativa a nivel nacional, ha incluido los hogares tanto de la España Peninsular como de las Islas Canarias y Baleares. Resultados: En el año 2012, el consumo medio de bebidas no alcohólicas por la población adulta española fue de 316 g/persona/ día, y de 81 g/persona/día en el caso de las bebidas alcohólicas. Desde el año 2000, el incremento en el consumo de bebidas no alcohólicas ha sido aproximadamente de un 31,7%, y únicamente del 3,3% para las de contenido alcohólico. Por Comunidades Autónomas, es Murcia quien destaca en el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas (113 g/persona/día), mientras que para las de contenido no alcohólico, son las Islas Canarias las que lo tienen más elevado (538 g/persona/día). Por otro lado, son los adultos con nivel socioeconómico medio y alto los que presentan un mayor consumo, de ambos tipos. Como media, el aporte de energía a partir de las bebidas alcohólicas es de un 2,2% al total, y un 0,7% a los hidratos de carbono. Por su parte, las bebidas no alcohólicas están contribuyendo con un 2,6% del total de energía, y un 5,8% de los carbohidratos. Conclusiones: Se ha producido en la última década un incremento muy marcado en el consumo de bebidas no alcohólicas en España, siendo sin embargo muy reducido para las de contenido alcohólico. En cualquier caso, y al comparar su contribución al total de energía conotros países europeos, se puede considerar todavía como relativamente bajo o moderad, aunque es necesaria mayor información y educación nutricional para una correcta elección de las bebidas de la dieta en el adulto (AU)
