A better understanding of nutritional programming of immune health may lead to dietary strategies that reduce the burden of many inflammatory diseases
The implications of the microbiome extend to virtually every branch of medicine, biopsychosocial and environmental sciences
Develop evidence-based recommendations about the use of prebiotics in the prevention of allergy
Elevated egg-specific Th2 cytokine responses were established prior to egg ingestion at 4months and were not significantly altered by introduction of egg
With a focus on the microbiome as it pertains to mental health, we define environmental “grey space” and emphasize a new frontier involving bio-eco-psychological medicine
The majority of Australian children exceed the World Health Organization's recommended dietary intake of free sugar, particularly through the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Front-of-pack nutrition labels increase perceived risk and deter the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.
Childhood obesity prevalence is increasing globally, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children over-represented in Australian data. Evidence-based, community healthy lifestyle programs require culturally safe adaptation when implemented in new First Nations contexts, where prioritising access and engagement of First Nations groups is critical.
Pregnant women are at higher risk of contracting listeriosis, which can lead to serious perinatal complications. This study evaluated associations between Listeria monocytogenes exposure, infant perinatal outcomes, and hospital resource use in a cohort of 1604 Australian mother-infant dyads.
Consumption of a Mediterranean diet (MD) has been associated with reduced incidence of non-communicable diseases and reduced overall mortality, with epigenomic effects representing plausible mediators. The aim of this pilot study was to explore potential epigenetic associations between DNA methylation markers in blood and adherence to an MD in pregnancy.
The rates of obesity and type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents are increasing in many settings worldwide, but data on weight gain in this group are limited in New Zealand. We examined temporal body mass index (BMI) changes and associated factors in young people with T1D in a mixed urban-rural region.
