While prognosis for breast cancer in women has improved, adverse side effects of treatments may negatively affect body composition and bone mineral density (BMD). This study assessed body composition and BMD changes in breast cancer survivors (BCS) (n = 10, 57.9 ± 5.7 years) and age‐matched women (non‐cancer, n = 10, 56.5 ± 4.3 years) over a 12‐ to 15‐month period via dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry...
Adequate folate intake (≥400 μg/d) in women of childbeanng age may decrease the risk of neural tube defects. Assessing folate intake through dietary records is time intensive. Therefore, we designed and conducted initial validity testing on the Folate Intake Tool (FIT). The FIT is a food frequency survey comprised of top folate sources as assessed by frequency of consumption and amount per serving...
The main factors influencing dietary habits and nutritional intakes of college students remain unclear. Our hypothesis was that students enrolled in dietetic and/or nutritional programs would have dietary intake closer to current nutritional recommendations (DRI's or RDA's) compared to the students without nutritional background. The study included 122 students (mean±SD age 24.4±5.4 years) of whom...
LEARNING OUTCOME: The 4-year calcium supplementation did not affect serum ferritin and iron deficiency anemia indices in adolescent females. The recent recommendations of National Institutes of Health for increasing calcium (Ca) intake in adolescent females to 1200-1500mg/day raised a concern about its effects on other minerals, namely iron. The previous studies examining the effects of Ca supplementation...
The 1989 Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) included selenium (Se) intakes for all age groups but were based on studies done only on adult males. These recommendations may not be appropriate since gender-related differences in Se status have been reported. Data related to Se status and the developmental changes of females are limited. Se status was assessed in 26 healthy Caucasian females (average...
