Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

29.1K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Dietary Connections01:23

Dietary Connections

62.2K
In biological systems, most metabolic pathways are interconnected. The cellular respiration processes that convert glucose to ATP—such as glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle—tie into those that break down other organic compounds. As a result, various foods—from apples to cheese to guacamole—end up as ATP. In addition to carbohydrates, food also contains proteins and lipids—such as cholesterol and fats. All of these organic compounds are used...

Gap Junctions01:37

Gap Junctions

57.3K
Multicellular organisms employ a variety of ways for cells to communicate with each other. Gap junctions are specialized proteins that form pores between neighboring cells in animals, connecting the cytoplasm between the two, and allowing for the exchange of molecules and ions. They are found in a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate species, mediate numerous functions including cell differentiation and development, and are associated with numerous human diseases, including cardiac and...

Gap Junctions

9.8K
The cytoplasm of adjacent animal cells can exchange small molecules, ions, and secondary messengers via the communication channels which form the gap junctions. These junctions comprise a few hundred to thousands of molecular channels, each made of two halves, called the connexon hemichannel. A connexon is a hexamer of six transmembrane connexin proteins, which assemble radially, thus forming a pore or channel in the center. One connexon hemichannel docks with a corresponding connexon on the...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

574
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Proteins: Dietary Sources and Requirements01:28

Proteins: Dietary Sources and Requirements

1.8K
Consuming animal-based products offers high-quality proteins that contain optimal levels and combinations of essential amino acids, crucial for tissue repair and growth. Foods like eggs, milk, fish, and most meats are a source of complete proteins. Legumes and cereals are abundant in proteins; however, they typically lack a full range of essential amino acids. As a result, they are considered incomplete protein sources. Some plant sources like soybeans, quinoa, and amaranth do contain complete...

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Individual-level global consumption patterns are crucial for effective policy-making.
  • Current global dietary data are dispersed, incomplete, and lack standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review global dietary surveillance methodologies, data availability, challenges, and opportunities.
  • To provide guidance for designing and implementing dietary surveys and data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive review of global dietary assessment methodologies at survey, collection, and analysis levels.
  • Focus on nationally representative individual-level data, with consideration of biomarkers and household data.
  • Identification and description of existing global and regional dietary initiatives and datasets.

Main Results:

  • Harmonized, standardized individual-level dietary data are not currently available globally.
  • Existing initiatives vary significantly in methodology, coverage, and standardization.
  • Significant data gaps exist for specific countries, indicators, subgroups, and time periods.

Conclusions:

  • Systematic evaluation of global dietary data is essential for improving population health.
  • Leveraging existing data and efforts is critical for setting priorities at the intersection of diet and disease.
