Background/Objectives: Preterm infants are at high risk of extrauterine growth restriction and suboptimal neurological development due to cumulative nutrient deficits. Standard fortification (SF) of human milk does not account for individual macronut...
(1) Background: For the storage of human milk (HM), freezing, thawing, and/or pasteurization are routinely used in neonatal intensive care units. We aimed to analyze the effects of different HM processing types on the nutritional contents in HM, adip...
Despite improvements in nutritional management, preterm infants continue to face high rates of postnatal growth restriction. Because variability in breast milk composition may result in protein and energy deficits, targeted fortification has been adv...
(1) Background: Adequate protein intake plays an essential role in growth and neurodevelopment, especially in preterm infants. We investigated the effects of maternal diet and body mass index (BMI) on human milk (HM) composition. (2) Methods: HM samp...
Premature infants are born prior to a critical window of rapid placental nutrient transfer and fetal growth—particularly brain development—that occurs during the third trimester of pregnancy. Subsequently, a large proportion of preterm ne...
Background/Objectives: Individualized (“target”) fortification of human milk is promoted to improve growth and subsequent neurodevelopment in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, because standard fortifiers may not provide sufficient pro...
Fortified human milk is the first choice for preterm infants. Although individualized fortification is recommended, the optimal method for this population remains uncertain. We conducted a comparative study assessing the growth effects of adjusted (A...
Iron is an essential nutrient utilized in almost every aspect of cell function and its availability has previously limited life. Those same properties which allow iron to function as a catalyst in the reactions of life also present a threat via gener...
Protein needs are considered to increase with age, with protein consumption being associated with many positive outcomes. Protein-fortified products are often used to improve nutritional status and prevent age-related muscle mass loss in older adults...
Food fortification has experienced a revolution because of the process of encapsulation techniques, controlled delivery systems, and personalized nutrition approach. The purpose of this review is to analyze the recent trends in encapsulated and perso...
Background/Objectives: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic complication of prematurity, associated with significant morbidity. Nutrition is a key modifiable factor influencing lung growth, repair, and overall development. This review...
The increasing popularity of edible insects as a sustainable food source necessitates stringent safety measures to monitor pesticide contamination. This study aimed to assess and enhance a QuEChERS-based extraction method coupled with gas chromatogra...
As populations age, micronutrient deficiencies increase and are linked to frailty, functional decline, cognitive impairment, anemia, and a higher healthcare burden. This review synthesizes evidence from the past five years on adults ≥65 years, com...
Background: Shifting toward more plant-based diets is promoted for health, environmental, and ethical reasons. However, the nutritional consequences of reducing animal-based foods, particularly across age groups with specific dietary needs, remain in...
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a common global health problem and remains highly prevalent in Türkiye, where limited food fortification and heterogeneous clinical practices contribute to variability in testing and supplementation strategies...
Background/Objectives: To critically evaluate the current scientific literature on the physiological and preventive functions of vitamin D, with special emphasis on its possible involvement in multi-organ pathologies, and to assess the effectiveness...
Background: Data on the nutritional adequacy of unsupplemented vegetarians in Northeast China are limited. Methods: We compared dietary intake, body composition, and serum biomarkers among vegans, lacto-ovo-vegetarians, and omnivores. This cross-sect...
Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is among the most prevalent nutritional disorders worldwide and a growing public health concern among women in Saudi Arabia. Available Saudi evidence remains fragmented, with single-center studies that vary by...
Background: Nutrition is one of the most modifiable determinants of brain development in preterm infants. Although increasing evidence supports associations between early nutritional exposures and neurodevelopment, studies remain heterogeneous regard...
