Prevalence of peanut allergy in primary-school children in Montreal, Canada
Rhoda Kagan,Lawrence Joseph,Lawrence Joseph,Claire Dufresne,Katherine Gray-Donald,Elizabeth Turnbull,Yvan St. Pierre,Ann E. Clarke +7 more
TL;DR: This prevalence study is the first in North America to corroborate history with confirmatory testing and the largest worldwide to incorporate these techniques and has shown that, even with conservative assumptions, prevalence exceeds 1.0%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary intake and biochemical indices of nutritional status in an elderly population, with estimates of the precision of the 7-d food record
H Payette,Katherine Gray-Donald +1 more
TL;DR: The 7-d record was sufficiently precise to describe the intake of this healthy elderly population and to demonstrate evidence of clear relationships of dietary intake to serum nutritional indicators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized Clinical Trial of Nutritional Supplementation Shows Little Effect on Functional Status among Free-Living Frail Elderly
TL;DR: Frail elderly can gain weight through oral supplementation, indicating the reversibility of weight loss in this group, but changes in functional status indicators may require a longer period of supplementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrition as a determinant of successful aging: description of the Quebec longitudinal study Nuage and results from cross-sectional pilot studies.
Pierrette Gaudreau,José A. Morais,Bryna Shatenstein,Katherine Gray-Donald,Abdel Khalil,Isabelle J. Dionne,Guylaine Ferland,Tamas Fulop,Danielle Jacques,Marie-Jeanne Kergoat,Daniel Tessier,Richard Wagner,Hélène Payette +12 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Nutritional Support on Functional Status During an Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
TL;DR: It is difficult to prevent important muscle wasting in patients with COPD treated with corticosteroids, but some small gains were observed with increased dietary intake.
