▼ Background: The increasing use of electronic health records (EHR) provides a novel opportunity to evaluate hospital-based nutritional outcomes, such as malnutrition. There is no universally accepted screening tool for the detection of malnutrition. However, assessment for malnutrition should be made early, be simple, based on scientific evidence, and include data on age, gender, and disease severity. The malnutrition screening tool (MST) used in this study is a two question tool that assesses two parameters commonly seen when diagnosing malnutrition (weight loss and loss of appetite). Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of the MST used at a tertiary or quaternary hospital to accurately identify patients with malnutrition by comparing it against the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition criteria for malnutrition. Participants/setting: A descriptive cohort study was conducted that included 167 patients admitted to Emory University Hospital between October 1 - 14, 2014. MST score, malnutrition diagnostic criteria, and demographic and anthropometric characteristics were obtained to describe and assess the study population. Statistical Analysis: Frequency statistics were used to describe the demographic and anthropometric characteristics and MST score results. Normality statistics were used to determine the distribution of continuous variables. A Chi Square table was used to determine the significance of the association between the MST score and diagnosis of malnutrition made by the Registered Dietitian (RD) as well as the sensitivity and specificity of the MST. Results: A total of 167 patients (48.5% male, 51.5% Caucasian, non-Hispanic) were admitted during the study period. The vast majority of the patient population with malnutrition (79%), as diagnosed by the RD, was identified as such by the MST (p < 0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of the MST was 79% and 62%, respectively. Conclusion: The MST is a useful screening tool for malnutrition in adults admitted to a large urban university hospital. There is a lack of research validating the MST in the adult outpatient population. Therefore, future studies are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the MST in this population.

▼ Background: Obesity continues to be one of the largest public health concerns in our nation. The role of eating patterns as a means for weight management has been studied extensively. However, the role of breakfast in weight management is still poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to understand the role of breakfast in weight management by observing the relationships of energy intake and macronutrient composition, specifically protein and fiber, with weight status during early morning and late morning eating occasions. Methods: Data from two multiple pass 24h dietary recalls from NHANES 2005-2010 were used. N= 4542 non-pregnant, non-lactating participants aged 20-65 y who did not perform shift work and who had a BMI between 18.5 and 60 kg/m² were included. Individuals with missing data for any of the variables were excluded. Data were analyzed with SPSS software version 21. Each of the 2 days was divided into four time periods: time period 1 defined as the first intake of the day occurring between 12:00 a.m. and 4:59 a.m., time period 2 defined as the first intake occurring between 5:00 a.m. and 8:59 a.m., time period 3 defined as the first intake occurring between 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., and time period 4 defined as the first intake occurring after 11:30 a.m. Time period 2 was designated as “early morning intake” and time period 3 was designated as “late morning intake”. The other two time periods were designated as energy intake eaten the rest of the day. Energy (kcal), protein (g), and fiber (g) intakes were then calculated for the whole day and for each time period. For early morning and late morning intake, energy, protein and fiber were also divided into 5 categories. Those reporting no intake (0 kcals) made up the first category and quartiles were calculated for those reporting energy intakes of ≥ 0.1 kcal. Modified quartiles for the late morning period using the quartile cutoffs for the early morning time period were also calculated. Similarly, those reporting no intake (0 grams) made up the first category for protein and fiber and quartiles were calculated for those reporting protein or fiber intakes of ≥ 0.01 g. Estimated energy requirements (EER) were determined using the prediction equations developed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM 2005). To determine energy intake reporting plausibility, reported energy intake as a percent of EER was calculated. Standard classifications were used for weight status based on BMI. Descriptive statistics (median and 95% confidence interval) were computed for all variables. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to determine associations between morning energy intake, protein, and fiber categories and risk for overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) for both early morning and late morning time periods. For the energy intake categories, Model 1 was controlled for race/ethnicity, age, gender, poverty-income ratio (PIR), smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, self-reported chronic… Advisors/Committee Members: Megan McCrory, Barbara Hopkins, Terry Hartman.

▼ Objective: To conduct a secondary analysis of dietary variety consumed by individuals of African-origin in two countries with differing stages of economic development. Our overall aim is to determine the relationships of two different dietary variety scores developed previously in our laboratory with reported energy intake (rEI), ER (which will be a more accurate reflection of true EI) and BMI in the total sample and the plausibly reporting subsample. Methods: Data for this analysis were collected as part of METS between January 2010 to September 2011, whose purpose was to elucidate the associations of physical activity and diet with body weight, diabetes, and risk of cardiovascular disease. Five communities of African-origin and in different countries were selected based on their different levels of economic development, as measured using the UN Human Development Index. A subsample of 141 (Ghana, n=70 and U.S., n=71) men and women with an average age of 35.1±0.5 years and an average BMI of 27.5±0.6 kg/m2 were randomly selected to have their total energy expenditure (TEE) measured by the doubly labeled water (DLW) method. Participants were interviewed using the multiple-pass method designed by the Medical Research Council of South Africa to estimate their dietary intake the day after consumption. Data was transferred to Nutrient Data System for Research (NDSR) ver. 2011 and dietary variety scores (DVS) were calculated for combination and ingredient varieties. Combination variety was defined as the total number of unique foods and beverages consumed in a day. Ingredient variety was the total number of unique ingredients consumed in a day. Implausibility of rEI was controlled for by calculating rEI as a percentage of TEE. Associations of dietary variety scores with total energy intake and BMI were assessed for both the total sample and plausible subsample using SPSS version 22 through univariate analyses of variance and correlations. Results: Both combination and ingredient variety were positively associated with rEI in both countries when implausible reporting was not controlled, but no significant association was observed in both countries when implausible reporting was controlled. Ingredient variety was negatively associated with TEE when implausible reporting was both controlled and uncontrolled in the U.S. (p= 0.029), but no association was observed in Ghana. Ingredient and combination variety were also negatively associated with log BMI, percent body fat, and weight in U.S. when implausible reporting was not controlled but not in Ghana’s. However, in Ghana, combination variety was positively associated with percent body fat (p=0.041) and log BMI (p= 0.027) when plausible reporting was controlled but was not significant when implausible reporting was uncontrolled. Conclusion: Dietary variety was positively associated with rEI in both countries when implausible reporting was not controlled and with obesity markers in Ghana when plausible reporting was controlled.

▼ ABSTRACT THE EFFECTS OF HIV DISEASE AND LIFESTYLE FACTORS ON CELLULAR AGING IN TRANSGENDER WOMEN by Scott Stephen Sohn Background: Telomeres are short tandem repeats of nucleotides at the ends of chromosomes. These specialized structures serve as caps on the end of the chromosomes, which protect DNA integrity. Telomeres get shorter each time a cell replicates, but the DNA remains intact as long as the telomere caps are a sufficient length. In time, telomeres become too short to protect DNA, which leads to cellular death. Previous research has shown that disease and negative lifestyle factors play a role in accelerated telomere attrition throughout the cellular life cycle. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if HIV infection and lifestyle factors in a transgender population living in Atlanta Georgia are associated with telomere length reduction. Participants/setting: This study is a secondary analysis of data provided by a Georgia State University study entitled “Telomere Length, Environmental Stressors and Health Related Outcomes among Transgender Women”. The study included 92 transgender women from Atlanta, Georgia with 49 reporting HIV infection. Two sources of data were collected, survey responses collected during face to face interviews and a saliva sample for DNA analysis. Statistical analysis: Frequency statistics were used to describe the sample population. A Mann Whitney U was used to evaluate telomere length using the T/S ratio by HIV status, by physical activity level (healthy active or low active) and by fruit and vegetable intake category (Don’t eat, 1-2 servings/day, 3-4 servings/day vs. >5 servings/day) in the total Population. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the association between independent variables (activity level, body mass index, fruit and vegetable intake, hormone use, race, HIV status and age) and telomere length. Results: The majority of the population was Black (84%) with a median age of 33 years (range, 18 to 65 years). No significant association was observed between HIV infection and T/S ratio. The vast majority of the population reported low activity level and only 9% reported consuming >5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. No significant association was found between fruit and vegetable intake or physical activity level and T/S ratio in this population. Conclusion: HIV infection, Fruit and vegetable intake, and physical activity were not found to impact telomere length in an urban population of transgender women. Future research is needed to further understand the mechanisms that impact telomere length throughout the cellular life cycle within the transgender population.

▼ Background: A growing number of college students are classified as overweight or obese, increasing their likelihood of developing a chronic disease as an adult. Studies have shown social media platforms to be effective in increasing awareness and engagement, in combination with other components, to motivate nutrition and lifestyle behavior change. The purpose of this study was to determine if a nutrition consultation discussing energy needs and nutrition education about weight loss, combined with an 8 week Facebook nutrition intervention will 1) decrease BMI and 2) improve dietary habits of college freshman. Methods: A total of 20 participants were recruited from a large, urban university in Atlanta, GA. Research participants completed a pre-study 3-day food diary, indirect calorimetry to measure resting metabolic rate and a 30-minute individualized consultation with a nutrition graduate student and registered dietitian (RD). Participants then engaged in an 8-week Facebook nutrition intervention. Height, weight, and 3- day food logs were collected post-study. Pre- and post-study BMI were calculated for each participant, and each food diary (pre and post study) was analyzed for changes in dietary intake (ESHA Food Processor). The data were normally distributed and a paired t-test was used to determine differences between the mean of pre- and post-study weight and BMI. Results: The population (n=8) had an average age of 19.03 years; the majority were female (87.5%) and African American (87.5%). Sixty-three percent of the participants who had pre-post weight measurements (n=8) maintained or decreased their BMI. Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences in fruit (p=0.18) and vegetable (p=0.90) consumption (n=6). A mean decrease of 23.00 ounces/day was seen in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption (p=0.28). Conclusion: These pilot data indicate that a nutrition intervention including nutrition counseling based on individual energy needs and 8-weeks of messages delivered via Facebook is effective in maintaining or decreasing BMI in overweight and obese freshman. Additionally, there were no significant changes in dietary behavior, although there was an observed overall decrease in sugar-sweetened beverages. Future studies of greater length and with a larger sample size should be conducted to determine if more significant dietary changes and weight changes would be observed in this population.

▼ Abstract Background: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) face many challenges in self-management of their current disease state. Nutrition education has been identified as a key component in managing metabolic control in individuals diagnosed with T2D. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a 4-week nutrition intervention on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and nutrition knowledge by food security status in individuals with T2D who attend the Family Health Centers of Georgia (FHCGA) located in West Atlanta. Methods: Subjects enrolled in the study (n=6) completed a nutrition knowledge survey at the beginning of the intervention and had their HbA1c values extracted from the FHCGA medical record. Subjects then entered a 4-week group nutrition intervention program. The program consisted of four lessons that focused on the basic diet for diabetes, food label reading, grocery store shopping and eating out with diabetes. Subjects took a nutrition knowledge survey after the intervention and were asked to return to have a follow-up blood draw for HbA1c levels. Results: Two out of six subjects completed the entire protocol. The HbA1c for this subject was higher after the nutrition intervention. An additional two subjects completed all of the lessons and the post survey, but did not have a follow-up HbA1c drawn. The mean nutrition knowledge score pre-intervention (72.33 + 5.13) was lower than the mean post-intervention score (78.67 + 4.04) but was not significantly different. When subdivided by food security status, subjects with a higher food security status had a lower baseline HbA1c. Conclusion: Nutrition knowledge scores increased after nutrition education but not significantly. The effect of nutrition education on HbA1c by food security status could not be determined due to low participation. Future studies with a larger sample size and incentives for compliance are needed to investigate how group nutrition education influences metabolic control in food insecure and secure people with T2D.

▼ Background: Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major cause of morbidity, longer intensive care unit (ICU) stay, increased duration of mechanical ventilation, and increased healthcare cost in critically ill patients. Critically ill patients are at increased risk for malnutrition, which is associated with impaired immune function, impaired ventilator drive and weakened respiratory muscles. Malnutrition has been thought to increase the risk of VAP due to bacterial translocation from the gastrointestinal tract to the lungs. Previous research that has evaluated the effect of enteral nutrition on malnutrition associated with VAP has been inconsistent in part because of the subjectivity of the old definition of VAP. In 2013, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a new definition for the diagnosis of VAP, which includes three tiers of a ventilator associated event (VAE); ventilator associated condition, infection-related ventilator-associated complication, or possible or probable VAP). The purpose of this study is to retrospectively examine the relationship between enteral formula, tube-feeding placement site, time of tube feeding initiation and the incidence of VAE using this new CDC definition. Objective: The aim of the study was to retrospectively examine the relationship between enteral formula, tube-feeding placement site, time of tube feeding initiation and the incidence of VAE using this new CDC definition. Participants/setting: The medical records of 162 adult patients admitted to one of the ICUs (Medical ICU, Surgical ICU, Neurological ICU, Burn ICU) at Grady Memorial Hospital (GMH) in Atlanta, GA in 2013 Main outcome measures: Demographic and baseline medical characteristics including the type of enteral formula used (standard, immune-modulating, hydrolyzed, immune-modulating and hydrolyzed, or mixed), enteral tube feeding placement (gastric or small bowel), and timing of enteral nutrition (never fed, fed48 hours after admission) were collected. Statistical analysis: Demographic and baseline medical characteristics were described using frequency statistics and compared by VAE status using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The relationship between tube placement, enteral formula, timing of feeding and the diagnosis of a VAE was evaluated using the Chi-square test. Results: In 2013, 81 patients admitted to the ICU at GMH were diagnosed with a VAE. The median age of the study population (n=162) was 50 years (range, 19 to 88 years) and the median BMI was 27.6 kg/m² (range, 13.2 to 83.2 kg/m²). The majority of the population was African American (53.1%) and male (64.2%). Most patients were fed through a gastric tube (86.4%), were given an immune-modulating enteral formula (32.1%) and were fed after 48 hours of admission (44.4%). After subdividing by ICU location, 12 of 14 patients (86%) in the Medical ICU who were… Advisors/Committee Members: Ashley Depriest, Barbara Hopkins, Anita Nucci.

▼ Background: Factors that contribute to body fat and adiposity include energy consumption, macronutrient intake, and physical activity. Alcohol not only contributes to total energy consumed but also influences metabolic pathways that may alter fat oxidation and storage. Alcohol provides 7.1 kilocalories per gram (kcal/g) and makes up 6-10% of the daily caloric intake of adults in the United States. Cross-sectional studies have shown that increased alcohol intake is associated with higher body mass index (BMI), especially in men. Other studies suggest that there is a “U” shaped association whereby non-drinkers and heavy drinkers have a higher BMI and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) then low to moderate drinkers. While many previous studies evaluate alcohol based on the average consumption (g/day), there is increasing evidence that it is the pattern of alcohol consumption (ie. frequency) that influences body composition. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the frequency of wine, beer, and liquor consumption on body fat percent (BF%) and WHR in a population of university faculty and staff. Methods: The Center for Health Discovery and Well Being (CHDWB) cohort trial is being conducted at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. Recruitment of faculty and staff for the study began in 2007. Demographic, reported dietary intake including wine, beer, and liquor consumption, and anthropometric data including weight, height, BF%, and waist circumference are collected at baseline and annually thereafter. We used linear regression models to determine the effect of frequency and quantity of wine, beer, and liquor consumption on BF% while controlling for age and the effects of the other types of alcohol. We applied the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine if the median BF% and waist-hip ratio (WHR) was significantly different for those that reported at different five different frequencies (several times a year to 5-7 days a week). Results: Baseline visits have been conducted on 700 participants. Their median age was 51 years (66% female). Median weight was 76.9 kg (range, 65.3 - 90.5 kg) and mean BMI was 27.9 + 6.4 kg/m². A significant negative relationship was observed between frequency of beer consumption and BF% in women (p Conclusions: The frequency of wine intake consumed by university employees and staff independently predicted BF% and BMI. Greater frequency of wine consumption was associated with lower BF%. Advisors/Committee Members: Anita Nucci, Sarah Henes, Barbara Hopkins.

▼ Background: The typical western diet contains foods with modest amounts of lipid oxidation products. Previous work by us and others have demonstrated that mildly oxidized lipids promote a gain in fat mass while highly oxidized lipids decrease fat mass in rodents and triglyceride (TAG) accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. Adipocyte differentiation is regulated by a key nuclear transcription factor known as PPARγ. Objective: To investigate if the alterations in triglyceride accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells pretreated with oxidized soy oil are due to 1) a change in PPARg DNA interactions 2) changes in the expression of SREBP-1c, PPARg, and/or its target genes. Main Methods: Confluent 3T3-L1 cells were pretreated for 24hours with 0.01% soy oil (SO) which was either unheated (unheated SO) or heated for 3, (3h-SO), 6 (6h-SO), or 9hours (9h-SO). The effect of 24hour soy oil exposure was assessed at several time points throughout the differentiation process. Alterations in PPARg DNA interaction was assessed using a PPARγ transcription factor assay kit while alterations in the expression of genes upstream and downstream of PPARγ was determined by RT-PCR. Primary and secondary products of oxidation within the SO were determined by spectrophotometry. Results: The 6hr-SO contained the greatest concentration of peroxides whereas both the 6hr-SO and 9hr-SO contained a significantly higher concentration of conjugated dienes and aldehydes.Nuclear extracts from 3T3-L1 cells pretreated with 6h-SO demonstrated the greatest reduction in PPARγ DNA binding. Compared to the unheated SO and mildly oxidized 3h-SO, cells treated with the 6h-SO had a significant reduction in SREBP-1c, PPARg, LPL, and GLUT4 expression occurring early in the differentiation process. Variations in the gene expression of 6hr-SO pretreated cells persisted within partially differentiated and mature adipocytes. Conclusions: Pre-treatment of preadipocytes with soy oil heated for ³ 6h greatly decreases the activity of PPARγ in the nucleus and adipogenic gene expression . These changes seen in early differentiation seem to correlate the best with the phenotype of reduced triglyceride accumulation seen in mature adipocytes.

▼ Background: About 1 in every 6 Americans suffer from seasonal allergies, aka allergic rhinitis (AR), every year. Typical symptoms of AR include sneezing, stuffy nose and watery eyes. Currently, two types of medications, anti-histamines and corticosteroids, are widely used for relieving AR symptoms; however, in addition to the concern about drug resistance after their long-term use, they also cause side effects such as dry mouth and dizziness. Introduction: AR results from an abnormally heightened immune response triggered by unharmful substances in the environment. Therefore, a therapy capable of regulating the overall immune function of the body should alleviate the discomfort caused by AR. The intestine is the largest immune organ of the body. And consumption of probiotics can induce positive changes in the composition of the microbiota that reside in the intestine within a short period of time. As a result, several trials have been conducted to investigate the therapeutic effects of probiotics on AR. However, because of the generally small sample size of these studies, it is difficult to reach a definite conclusion. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to assess if probiotics consumption leads to improvement of AR symptoms. Method: Key words of “probiotics” and “seasonal allergy” were used to search PubMed, Cochrane and CINAHL to identify randomized controlled trials for the meta-analysis. Out of the 69 initially identified papers, 9 were eventually included in the analysis. Studies excluded were either duplicates, reported un-relevant outcomes, or provided insufficient data for further analysis. The meta-analysis was conducted through CMA 2.0, commercial comprehensive meta-analysis software. Standardized mean difference was calculated for subjective symptoms scores and serum biomarker levels for each study as the effect size, and the random effects model was applied to calculate the overall effect. Results: In the Forest plot, the Hedges’ g value for overall symptom score was 0.451 with a p value of 0.02, indicating that probiotics consumption induced a moderate improvement in symptoms, and the improvement is statistically significant. On the other hand, the Hedges’ g value for blood biomarkers level was -0.15 with a p value of 0.127, meaning probiotics performed worse than placebo at decreasing the inflammation at cellular or molecular level, as measured by serum biomarkers, but this inferior effect was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The use of probiotics is beneficial at relieving allergic symptoms for AR patients, but contradictory findings were discovered when it comes to the measurement of serum biomarkers levels. Future studies are needed to identify reliable biomarkers for AR, and studies with similar design but larger sample size would be helpful to further investigate the effectiveness of probiotics in the management of AR.

▼ Background: Energy requirements can be difficult to determine in the critically ill population due to the presence of catabolic stress. The 2009 Guidelines for the Provision and Assessment of Nutrition Support Therapy Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and in the Adult Critically Ill Patient recommend that energy requirements be calculated by predictive equations or weight-based equations or measured by indirect calorimetry (IC) and that nutrition efficacy may be monitored through nitrogen balance (24-hour Urinary Urea Nitrogen) or non-protein calorie:nitrogen ratio. Very few studies have reported the required energy assessment methods used by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) in the critical care setting and no studies have reported the use of laboratory tests to monitor efficacy of nutrition. The purpose of the study is to examine practices for estimating energy requirements in critically ill patients by RDNs prior to publication of the updated critical care guidelines in 2016. Methods: The study sample included patients currently included in the trauma registry at Grady Memorial Hospital (GMH). Patients who were in motor vehicle accidents (excluding trains), who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at GMH between July 4, 2014 and September 28, 2015, and who required at least five days of mechanical ventilation during admission were included. Demographic characteristics (gender, race, and age), anthropometric characteristics (body mass index classification), clinical characteristics (number of days on the ventilator, ICU days, time to death)), and nutrition assessment methods (energy assessment method used, weight used in assessment, and laboratory monitoring recommendations) were extracted from the electronic medical record. Results: The vast majority of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (98%) used a simple weight-based equation during the initial nutrition assessment. Approximately 1/3 of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionists used the actual patient body weight (36.8%) with the remaining primarily using a recommended body weight based on a selected BMI. Nine different weight-based equations were used with the equation 25-30 kcal/kg used most often (87.9%). Indirect calorimetry was not recommended by the RDNs during the first two weeks of admission for any patient. RDNs recommended prealbumin to monitor nutrition status (within 2 weeks of admission) in 21.6% of patients. Conclusions: We observed inconsistencies in the equations, weights, and monitoring laboratory tests used by RDNs. This variability can be attributed to a lack of specificity in the 2009 critical care guidelines, which justifies the need for updated recommendations in 2016. Future studies should examine change in nutrition assessment practices by RDNs since publication of the 2016 guidelines. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Anita Nucci, Barbara Hopkins, Jessica Todd.

▼ Background: Previous research has reported a relationship between high protein intake (>15% of energy) during early childhood and an increased risk of obesity later in life. However, few studies have investigated this relationship during middle childhood to early adolescence or examined the effects of different sources of protein. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the source of protein intake (animal vs. plant) and body mass index (BMI) in children between the ages 6-14 years. Participants/setting: 285 healthy 6-14 year old (male n=154) Caucasian and African American (n=171) children from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania completed a food frequency questionnaire. Main outcome measures: Median protein intake (grams) by total, animal, and plant protein and BMI-for-age classification. Statistical analysis: The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to evaluate differences in median protein intake (grams) by weight classification (normal weight [BMI 5^th%ile to <85^th%ile], overweight [BMI 85^th%tile to <95^th%tile], obese [BMI >95^th%tile]). Correlation statistics were also conducted to examine the relationship between protein intake and BMI. Results: The population used in the data analysis included 285 children/early adolescents (median age 9.8 ± 2.1 years; 53% boys; 40% Caucasian). Data from 11 children were excluded due to outliers or missing data. Girls had a significantly higher BMI than boys (20.1 vs. 18.2 kg/m², respectively; P=P=P= Conclusions: We observed a significant curvilinear versus linear trend in total protein and animal and plant protein intake by weight classification in middle-aged children that may be due to under-reporting in overweight and obese children. Total percent protein intake was significantly higher in children of normal weight. Future longitudinal studies using multiple measures of body fatness should be conducted to determine the relationship between protein intake and BMI during middle childhood to early adolescence.

▼ Background: There has been a concern regarding the masking of vitamin B-12 deficiency in the post-fortification period (after January 1, 1998). Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the potential masking of vitamin B-12 deficiency by comparing the proportion of individuals with low serum B-12 without macrocytosis between pre- and post-fortification periods using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Methods: The study included 7242 individuals from NHANES III (pre-fortification group) and combined NHANES 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2003-2004, 2005-2006 (post-fortification group). Vitamin B-12 deficiency and macrocytosis were defined as having <148 pmol/L of serum vitamin B-12 and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of>98 fL, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression was performed to estimate the likelihood of being low serum B-12 without macrocytosis in the post-fortification period in relation to the pre-fortification period. Results: Between pre- and post-fortification periods, there was no significant difference in the proportion of individuals with low serum vitamin B-12 without macrocytosis. However, odds of having low serum vitamin B-12 without macrocytosis in the post fortification era increased in men (OR=2.65, 1.24-5.65), non-Hispanic blacks (OR=3.12, 1.04-9.35), Non-smokers (OR=4.63, 1.90-11.27), and those aged 55 and older (OR=2.183, 1.01-4.74) compared their respective counterparts in the pre-fortification period. Conclusions: No significant difference in the proportion of individuals with vitamin B-12 deficiency without macrocytosiss was seen between the pre and post-fortification periods suggesting no making of vitamin B-12 deficiency. In the post-fortification period, serum folate was found to be a predictor of the masking effect. The impact of increased folic acid intake in the post-fortification period needs to be evaluated on a periodic basis especially, in non-target population.

▼ Background: The role of breakfast skipping in obesity and associated co-morbidities is uncertain. Experimental studies show mixed findings while observational studies show breakfast skipping is consistently associated prospectively with weight gain or cross-sectionally with higher BMI. Relatively few studies exist on breakfast skipping in relation to metabolic syndrome (MetS). One difficulty in examining these associations is that self-reported energy intake (rEI) is often under reported, particularly among overweight and obese individuals, and most previous research on breakfast consumption and obesity has not taken these implausible rEIs into account. Additionally, there is no standard definition of breakfast, leading to difficulty comparing across studies. Objective: We investigated the associations between the timing of morning eating, rather than breakfast skipping per se, with risks for overweight/obesity, elevated waist circumference and MetS using US national survey data. We examined these associations in both the total sample and in the plausible subsample after excluding individuals with implausible rEIs. Methods: We included non-pregnant participants from the Continuous National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles 2005-2006, 2007-2008, and 2009-2010 aged 20-65 years who did not perform shift work and who completed 2 multiple pass 24h dietary recalls. Participants were classified according to their BMI as being either underweight (17.0-18.5 kg/m²), normal weight (>18.5 to 24.9 kg/m²), overweight (25.0 to 29.9 kg/m²) or obese (30.0 to 60.0 kg/m²). Individuals were categorized as having MetS or not based on both Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Waist circumference was categorized as elevated or normal based on ATPIII criteria. Morning intake on each day was categorized as early, late or none according to time of first reported intake ≥50 kcals. Morning intake was categorized as “early” if the first intake occurred between 5:00 AM and 8:59 AM, “late” if it occurred between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM, and none if there was no intake during either time period. Across the two days of dietary intake, six morning eating patterns were possible: 1) early intake on both days; 2) early intake on one day and late intake on the other; 3) early intake one day and no intake the other; 4) late intake both days; 5) late intake on day and no intake the other; and 6) and no morning intake on either day. The two-day average rEI was compared to estimated energy requirements (EER) using the Institute of Medicine equations to determine energy intake plausibility. The rEIs were deemed implausible if rEI was not within the ±1SD calculated range of EER (±22.69%). Statistical analyseswere performed in SPSS on both the total sample and the plausibly reporting subsample. Logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression analyses were… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Megan A. McCrory, PhD, Barbara Hopkins, MMSc, RD, LD, Dr. Terryl J. Hartman, PhD, MPH, RD.

▼ Introduction: Fast and convenience foods are abundant, relatively inexpensive, and accommodating to the fast-paced lifestyle of many Americans. One popular method of cooking used by many fast food establishments is deep-fat frying. Soybean oil is commonly used for frying and is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as linoleic acid (LA). When soybean oil is used for deep-fat frying, LA becomes oxidized (Ox-LA). Endogenous Ox-LA has the capacity to be a ligand to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR¥ã), a nuclear transcription factor that regulates adipocyte maturation. It is not yet known whether or not dietary Ox-LA has the same capacity with respect to PPAR¥ã. Considering the fact that dietary oxidized lipids are abundant in the typical American diet, it is important to know if they regulate weight gain and especially adipose tissue mass. In this study, we investigate the effects of fresh and heated soybean oil on weight gain and adiposity in mice fed isocaloric low fat diets. Methods: Soybean oil was heated on a hot plate, under a hood, at 190¨¬C for three hours. Fresh soybean oil served as the source of unoxidized oil (Unox-oil) and the heated oil served as the source of oxidized oil (Ox-oil). Both the Ox-oil and Unox-oil were incorporated into a low-fat (10% of calories) mouse chow by Research Diets, Inc. (New Brunswick, NJ). Sixteen C57BL/6J mice were divided into two groups and fed low fat diets with Ox-oil (low fat oxidized, LFO) or with Unox-oil (low fat unoxidized, LFU). Another group of 8 mice were pair fed to the LFO group with the Unox-oil containing chow (PLU). Mice in the LFO and LFU groups were fed ad libitum and known amounts of fresh food was added to the cages every three days. Leftover food was weighed. Body weights were measured once a week. After 16 weeks mice were euthanized and epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT), retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (RWAT), inguinal white adipose tissue (IWAT), and intrascapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) samples were collected, weighed and stored at -80 degrees Celsius until further analysis. Fat pads were homogenized and cytosolic and nuclear proteins were extracted by standard methods. These extracts were subjected to Western blotting to determine the amount of PPAR¥ã in the cytosol and nuclear compartments of the fat pads. Differences in group means were analyzed by Mann Whitney U test. Comparisons were considered statistically significant at a p-value of < 0.05. Results: Final mean body weights were significantly different when comparing the mice in the LFU group to the pair fed mice (PLU) (mean ¡¾ SD; 29.52 ¡¾ 1.09 grams (g) and 26.85 ¡¾ 1.44 g, respectively; p < 0.05). Mice fed a low fat diet consisting of Ox-oil (LFO) had a final mean body weight of 27.88 ¡¾ 2.03 g. Mice in the LFU group gained significantly more weight on average than did mice in the LFO or PLU groups (mean ¡¾ SD; 8.86 ¡¾ 1.37g, 7.10 ¡¾ 1.47 g, and 5.71 ¡¾ 1.13 g, respectively). Although mean food intakes were not significantly different between… Advisors/Committee Members: Meera Penumetcha - Chair, Barbara Hopkins, Timothy Bartness.

▼ Background: Heart failure and diabetes are common coexisting diseases. Elevated levels of glucose in the blood caused by insulin resistance can damage blood vessels and nerves, and eventually lead to heart disease. A poor diet and obesity can also contribute to the progression of diabetes and heart disease. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if diet and lifestyle factors between adult heart failure patients with and without diabetes who are participating in the EducatioN, and Supportive Partners Improving Self-CaRE (ENSPIRE) study are associated with comorbidities such as diabetes, and if so then how current dietary recommendations in this population should be modified based on diabetes status. Methods: Using data collected from the EducatioN and Supportive Partners Improving Self-CaRE (ENSPIRE) study from 2006 to 2009 which was a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial, a secondary data analysis was conducted. Daily dietary intake of calories, sodium, carbohydrate, fat, sugar, and fiber was assessed via a 3-day food record. Differences in anthropometric measures, smoking history, education level and health literacy score between the two groups were also assessed. 117 heart failure patients were included in the analysis. Of these, 39% had diabetes. Statistical analysis: Statistical analyses included the t-test, Chi-square analysis, and Mann Whitney U test used to compare anthropometric data, lifestyle factors, and disease states. Results: Weight was higher in heart failure patients with vs. without diabetes (104.9 vs. 92.6 kg, respectively; P Conclusion: Weight was significantly higher in heart failure patients with diabetes and they consumed fewer carbohydrates than their non-diabetic counterparts. We recommend encouraging these individuals to closely monitor their macronutrient intake, specifically limiting fat in the diet. Meeting with a dietitian to ensure adequate nutrient intake is strongly recommended. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Anita M.

▼ Purpose: Evidence suggests that olive oil consumption is associated with a decreased prevalence of cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. The purpose of this study was to assess the intake and knowledge of olive oil and other lipids in a collegiate population. Methods: Using an IRB-approved protocol, volunteered college students (N=56) from the college of Health and Human Sciences at Georgia State University completed a questionnaire on lipid and knowledge and eating behavior. Results were assessed to determine if students were able to accurately answer questions on the contents of different lipids, and also to determine the consumption behaviors of different lipids. Statistical comparisons were made between undergraduate and graduate students, and between students in different academic majors (nutrition, nursing, respiratory therapy, social work, criminal justice, and other). Results: It was hypothesized that eating behaviors would overemphasize unhealthy lipids. Lipids assessed included: olive oil, butter, canola oil, peanut oil, corn oil, margarine, sunflower oil, and soybean oil. There were no statistically significant differences between the ratios of consumed lipids labeled as ‘good’, and lipids labeled as ‘bad’. There were also no statistically significant differences in the presence of ‘good’ to ‘bad’ lipids in the subjects’ kitchens. Therefore, the results of this study were not able to disprove the null hypothesis. Nevertheless, using a Likert scale response scheme, there was a difference (p=0.041) between academic majors in the consumption of canola oil (an oil high in monounsaturated fatty acid), with Nursing majors reporting the highest consumption (X=3.73; SD=1.61) and Respiratory Therapy majors reporting the lowest consumption (X=1.89; SD=1.53). There was no statistically significant difference between graduate and undergraduate students in the presence of lipids in the kitchen. It was hypothesized that subject knowledge of lipid constituents would be poor. The majority of subjects either failed to respond correctly to the constituents of different lipids or reported that they did not know. Based on this result, the study is able to reject the lipid knowledge null hypothesis. There were clear differences in subgroup knowledge of commonly consumed lipids. Most notably, 100% of nutrition students responded correctly to the constituents of olive oil. Conclusions: This study focused on a group of college students in the College of Health and Human Sciences. One might assume that such a population would be sensitive and knowledgeable about key dietary factors that may influence disease risk. Nevertheless, these findings indicate that, except for isolated exceptions, the eating behaviors and lipid knowledge of these students in not at a level that could be considered health promoting. This suggests that, even with students in the health sciences, personal health classes are likely to be… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Dan Benardot, Dr. Murugi Ndirangu, Barbara Hopkins.

▼ Background: Studies have consistently found a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in adolescents. Few validated dietary intake assessment tools for vitamin D exist for adolescents. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if a short food frequency questionnaire (SFFQ) can be used to effectively assess vitamin D intake in adolescents compared to a previously validated long food frequency questionnaire (LFFQ). Participants/setting: 140 healthy 6-12 year old (male n=81) Caucasian and African American (n=94) children from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania completed a SFFQ and LFFQ at two time points 6 months apart. Main outcome measures: Reliability and validity of a SFFQ by comparison with a previously validated LFFQ for children and adolescents. Statistical analysis: Reliability, validity, sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: Mean vitamin D intake from the SFFQ (range, 434 to 485 IU) was higher than the LFFQ (range, 320 to 378 IU). Overall association between the SFFQ and the LFFQ for vitamin D intake was modest (r=0.36, P<0.001). When stratified by race, the overall degree of association was weak for African Americans (r=0.26, P=0.001) and moderate for Caucasians (r=0.57, P<0.001). Overall reliability testing results were modest and significant for the LFFQ (r=0.28, P=0.002) and SFFQ (r=0.33, P<0.001). Association between mean vitamin D intake from LFFQs and SFFQs was used to determine validity. The association for validity was found to be modest (r=0.51, P<0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for the SFFQ were 90%, 64%, 0.78, and 0.58, respectively. Conclusion: The SFFQ was found to be modestly valid and reliable in an early adolescent population. Associations between African Americans were not as strong as Caucasians which may be due to errors in reporting dietary consumption related to higher body weight. Advisors/Committee Members: Anita M.

▼ Introduction: The benefits of regular exercise on skeletal health have been well-documented in terms of stimulation of bone accrual and bone maintenance. Medium-impact sports activities such as running have been demonstrated to exert site-specific enhancement of bone mass in the lower appendicular skeleton. However, elite female runners engaged in high intensity training and sports activity may also be at risk of amenorrhea and low bone mineral density (BMD) resulting from inadequate caloric intake. Purpose: To investigate the effect of intensive exercise and maintenance of adequate caloric intake on BMD in a group of elite female runners. Methods: This study represents a secondary assessment of existing data that were obtained between 1994 and 2009. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, a group of elite runners (n=11) in this study was screened in the Laboratory for Elite Athlete Performance at Georgia State University. This was a longitudinal study in which three sequential measurements of BMD, as well as fat and lean tissue body composition of each athlete took place. The average interval between measurements was 1.1 years and 2.6 years respectively. Regional BMD measurements for head, arms, legs, trunk, ribs, pelvis, and spine were assessed, as well as the value for total body BMD. The study participants also received dietary counseling emphasizing daily caloric balance and adequate calcium intake. Results: The average age of the runners increased from 24.59 (±4.41) to 28.14 (±5.94) years over the study. This was accompanied by an increase in body mass (54.98±3.54 to 56.11±4.07 kg), while height remained constant. The average body mass index (BMI) of the subjects increased from 19.34 to 19.71 kg/m2, largely due to an increase in total per cent body fat (13.97±2.96% to 16.01±4.28%). Average regional and total BMD values increased over the study period and increases were between 2 and 4%. A majority of subjects (n=7) had a BMI>19 kg/m2, while a sub-group of runners (n=4) had a BMI˂19 kg/m2. Mean trunk, pelvis and spine BMD parameters for the two BMI groups were significantly different (p˂0.05), with reduced BMD values in the lower BMI sub-group. The average T-scores associated with arm BMD were considerably lower than T-scores associated with leg BMD values in the runners. The average T-scores for leg BMD values were almost two standard deviations higher than leg BMD values for a reference population at peak bone mass. Two subjects were osteopenic, resulting in an 18% prevalence rate of osteopenia in the group of runners. Conclusions: The majority of elite runners in this study exhibited a positive trend in BMD parameters. This was reflected as increased total as well as regional BMD values. Increased body mass in addition to the activity of running positively contributed to bone mass via a weight-bearing effect. Increased adipose tissue may also have been a source of endocrine hormones such as estrogen and leptin, which exert a positive effect on bone accrual.
