TL;DR: The results suggest a bidirectional association between depression and obesity in middle-aged and elderly women and underscore the importance of early detection and proper behavioral modifications to lower the burden of both conditions.

TL;DR: Several diet-quality scores were associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and reflect a common dietary pattern characterized by high intakes of plant-based foods such as whole grains; moderate alcohol; and low intakes of red and processed meat, sodium, sugar-sweetened beverages, and trans fat.

TL;DR: This updated SR confirms and strengthens the conclusions of the original US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee SR, which found that adherence to several well-characterized dietary patterns, including vegetarian (with variations) diets, dietary guidelines-related diets, Mediterranean-style diets, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, and other sustainable diet scenarios, promotes greater health and has a less negative impact on the environment than current average dietary intakes.

TL;DR: A dietary pattern typified by higher intakes of red and processed meats, refined grains, and sweets and desserts may increase stroke risk, whereas a diet higher in fruits and vegetables, fish, and whole grains may protect against stroke.

TL;DR: The specificity of the association between &agr;-linolenic acid and SCD supports the hypothesis that these n-3 fatty acids may have antiarrhythmic properties.
