TL;DR: Obese and overweight adolescents had lower energy intake and a lower trend in being physically active than normal weight counterparts and school health education programs targeted at adolescents and parents need to be developed as part of overweight-obesity, malnutrition and anemia prevention.
Abstract: In Palestine, there is a little information about nutrition of adolescents compared to other age groups. This study was designed to assess the nutritional status of Palestinian school-aged children (11-16 years) in East Jerusalem during 2002-03. A school-based cross-sectional study targeted randomly 313 adolescents from public and private schools. A previously validated and reliable questionnaire was administered through interviews that included anthropometric and hemoglobin measurements, 24-h dietary intake recall and physical activity questionnaire. It was found that being overweight (24.3%) or obese (9.9%) coexisted with being underweight (4.8%) and/or anemic (23.3%). Only 22.4% of the study subject had physical activity for ≥5 days a week with boys being more physically active than girls (p < 0.01). Inadequate energy intake had 55.66% of boys and 64.81% of girls; inadequate protein intake was reported by 15.07% of boys and 43.08% of girls. The majority of them met <80% of the recommended daily allowances for most micronutrients. The whole sample and especially boys consumed more total, saturated fat, less monounsaturated fat and carbohydrates than what is advised. Obese and overweight adolescents had lower energy intake (p < 0.05) and a lower trend in being physically active than normal weight counterparts. School health education programs targeted at adolescents and parents need to be developed as part of overweight-obesity, malnutrition and anemia prevention.

TL;DR: The level of oral health affecting the inequalities ofeating and the food for the people is clearly shown as oral health status became worse and the various propose of oralhealth policies is needed for vulnerable groups.
Abstract: Objectives : The purpose of this study was investigation of quality and qu antity of nutritional intake related oralhealth status among Korean elders. Methods : The nutrient intake and the dietary quality was evaluated on the basis of the Dietary Reference IntakesFor Koreans(KDRIs). Chi-square test for Complex Samples was use d to determine the relationship between oralhealth and inadequate nutrient intake in Korean elders.The complex samples general linear model was used to test diffe rence of average value difference of nutrientintake percentage compared to dietary reference intake(DRI), en ergy intake rate from three major nutrients,average mean adequacy ratio(MAR) and index of nutritional quali ty(INQ) related oral health status. Age, sex andtotal energy intake was compensated for this analysis. PASW 18 was used for statistical analysis. Results : We could found the difference of the nutrient intake and the dietary quality related oral health statusamong Korean elders. Especially, Nutrient intake percentage and component ratio of protein among energyintake rate from three major nutrient was lower as oral health status became worse. The percentage of subjectswith nutritional intakes under showed highest level in worst or al health status. As oral health status becameworse, average mean adequacy ratio(MAR) was lower and the numbe r of nutrient of which index of nutritionalquality(INQ) was under 1 was more. Conclusions : From the result above, this study clearly shows the level of oral health affecting the inequalities ofeating and the food for the people. And the various propose of oral health policies is needed for vulnerable groupswho needs solution to solve the problem of inequality of food d istribution where intensive distribution of nutri-tion problem occurred. Sufficient, safe, and a variety of healt hy food intake is a fundamental right of our people.And also, to apply this policy in reality, institutional arrang ements and organizations, and specific performingsystem will be needed.

TL;DR: The results indicate that 2 y of pooled data from the NHNS-J adequately reflect the population's intake, and that the current system for determination of AI values will be applicable for future revisions.
Abstract: The Adequate Intake (AI) values in the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (DRIs-J) 2010 were mainly determined based on the median intakes from 2 y of pooled data (2005-2006) from the National Health and Nutrition Survey-Japan (NHNS-J) However, it remains unclear whether 2 y of pooled data from the NHNS-J are appropriate for evaluating the intake of the population To clarify the differences in nutrient intakes determined from 2 and 7 y of pooled data, we analyzed selected nutrient intake levels by sex and age groups using NHNS-J data Intake data were obtained from 64,624 individuals (age: ≥1 y; 474% men) who completed a semi-weighed 1-d household dietary record that was part of the NHNS-J conducted annually in Japan from 2003 to 2009 There were no large differences between the median intakes calculated from 2 or 7 y of pooled data for n-6 or n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), vitamin D, pantothenic acid, potassium, or phosphorus When the AI values and median intakes were compared, there was no large difference in the values for n-6 or n-3 PUFAs, pantothenic acid, or phosphorus Conversely, the AI values for vitamin D and potassium differed from the median intakes of these nutrients for specific sex and age groups, because values were not based on NHNS-J data Our results indicate that 2 y of pooled data from the NHNS-J adequately reflect the population's intake, and that the current system for determination of AI values will be applicable for future revisions

TL;DR: Elderly nursing home residents in this study generally had a poor dietary vitamin K intake and might therefore be predisposed to osteoporosis, and the importance of green leafy vegetables as a rich source of vitamin K should be emphasised.
Abstract: There is strong evidence supporting the importance of vitamin K in bone health and the aetiological role of vitamin K deficiency in osteoporosis. In view of the common occurrence of osteoporosis among older subjects in Hong Kong, we have studied the dietary vitamin K intakes in 100 residents of a nursing home (43 men, 57 women; median age 81.0 years) and 88 free-living subjects attending a day care centre (13 men, 75 women; median age 71.5 years). The subjects were interviewed and the average vitamin K intake in the preceding week was estimated, using a diet recall questionnaire modified from our previous surveys of dietary patterns in local Chinese people. The median vitamin K intake was much lower in nursing home residents than in free-living subjects (4.50 vs 488.09 microg/day or 0.13 vs 8.74 microg/kg/day, P<0.001). An intake that was below the recommended daily intake was far more common among nursing home residents (86.0 vs 11.4%, P < 0.001). Among nursing home residents, there was a negative correlation between age and vitamin K intake (r = -0.217, P = 0.030), but there was a positive correlation between body weight and vitamin K intake (r = 0.244, P = 0.015). No such relationship was seen among free-living subjects. Elderly nursing home residents in this study generally had a poor dietary vitamin K intake and might therefore be predisposed to osteoporosis. The importance of green leafy vegetables as a rich source of vitamin K should be emphasised.

TL;DR: It is argued here that the RDA do not and cannot do most of the things which dietary standards ought to do, and their use generates considerable misinformation.
