Quantum food and nutrition: Subatomic approaches to nourishment for health and well-being. Open
Nutrition science has been represented as biomedical, environmental, societal and economic field, but quantum biology is sidestepped, thereby obscuring cognate problems and solutions. We are generally nourished for health, optimal well-bei…

Perinatal dietary patterns and symptomatic depression: A prospective cohort study Open
To promote maternal and infant health, there is a need to optimise the dietary pattern of pregnant women to reduce perinatal depression. This prospective cohort study was conducted from June 2020 to February 2022, 300 women from a medical …
Three-dimensional food printing: its readiness for a food and nutrition insecure world Open
Three-dimensional (3D) food printing is a rapidly emerging technology offering unprecedented potential for customised food design and personalised nutrition. Here, we evaluate the technological advances in extrusion-based 3D food printing …
Energy: life, power, and livelihood Open
We and our habitat are forms of energy, endowed with life, and irrevocably earthlings. A cosmological-to-locality appreciation of energy in food and nutrition science, practice and policy is overdue. Our livelihood, and any function we hav…

Mapping the human gut mycobiome in middle-aged and elderly adults: multiomics insights and implications for host metabolic health Open
Objective The human gut fungal community, known as the mycobiome, plays a fundamental role in the gut ecosystem and health. Here we aimed to investigate the determinants and long-term stability of gut mycobiome among middle-aged and elderl…

Household and schooling rather than diet offset the adverse associations of height with school competence and emotional disturbance among Taiwanese girls Open
Objective: Short stature may reflect health in early life and be an enduring disability. How birth weight, gender, household, elementary schooling and diet play a role in associations between stature and overall school competence (OSC) hav…
RETRACTED: Optimal Household Water Access Fosters the Attainment of Minimum Dietary Diversity among Children Aged 6–23 Months in Malawi Open
Along with sanitation and hygiene, water is a well-known driver of child undernutrition. However, a more direct role of household (HH) water access in shaping dietary diversity remains unexplored. We assessed the association between HH wat…
Nutrition, sarcopenia and frailty: An Asian perspective Open
Despite a growing body of evidence that nutrition plays a key role in the pathophysiology, prevention and intervention programs of frailty and sarcopenia, as well as in promoting brain health, the awareness and the need to study the relati…
Secular trend towards ultra-processed food consumption and expenditure compromises dietary quality among Taiwanese adolescents Open
UPF energy consumption among Taiwanese adolescents increased between 1993-1996 and 2011. Observed trends in expenditure suggest that lower UPF costs influenced food choices during this period. Increasing UPF intake and expenditure was asso…
A non-invasive modifiable Healthy Ageing Nutrition Index (HANI) predicts longevity in free-living older Taiwanese Open
Nutritional factors contributing to disability and mortality are modifiable in later life. Indices would add utility. We developed a gender-specific Healthy Ageing Nutrition Index (HANI) for all-cause mortality in free-living elderly. We s…
Gender differences in longevity in free-living older adults who eat-with-others: a prospective study in Taiwan Open
Objectives Social activities such as ‘eating-with-others’ can positively affect the ageing process. We investigated the gender-specific association between eating arrangements and risk of all-cause mortality among free-living older adults.…
Fitness and food environments around junior high schools in Taiwan and their association with body composition: Gender differences for recreational, reading, food and beverage exposures Open
School environments may contribute to adolescent behavior, reproductive physiology and body composition (BC). The Nutritional and Health Survey in Taiwan (2010) for 1458 junior high school students was geo-mapped for 30 school environs. Fa…
Eco-nutrition, Ecosystems and Health Open
Our generation has had the privilege and opportunity to appreciate scientifically the ecosystems that we have occupied, transformed or left alone.Now we, with them, face an unprecedented crisis brought about from the rather short 150,000 y…
Medical costs of a low skeletal muscle mass are modulated by dietary diversity and physical activity in community-dwelling older Taiwanese: a longitudinal study Open
A lower SMMI was associated with more hospitalization days and costs. However, high dietary diversity and more physical activity can attenuate the effects of lower SMMI on medical service utilization and expenditure.
Nutrition, One-Carbon Metabolism and Neural Tube Defects: A Review Open
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are a group of severe congenital malformations, induced by the combined effects of genes and the environment. The most valuable finding so far has been the protective effect of folic acid supplementation against …
Elderly Taiwanese who spend more on fruits and vegetables and less on animal-derived foods use less medical services and incur lower medical costs Open
A higher intake of fruits and vegetables (F&V) compared with animal-derived foods is associated with lower risks of all-cause-, cancer- and CVD-related mortalities. However, the association between consumption patterns and medical costs re…
