More than a third of the global population is overweight and at increased risk for major health problems. Obesity treatment emphasises lifestyle changes, including dietary modification. Individuals following plant-based diets typically have reduced obesity risk.
Diets high in animal protein, especially processed and red meat, have been associated with an increased obesity risk

How effective are vitamin A supplementation campaigns in reducing child mortality?
WHO recommends high-dose vitamin A supplementation (VAS) in vitamin A-deficient areas. Many countries deliver VAS in national campaigns. Based on randomised trials from the 1980s to 1990s, such campaigns are assumed to reduce all-cause mortality by 12โ24%

Estimating ventilator derived energy expenditure
Accurate estimation of energy expenditure (EE) is essential to guide nutritional therapy in critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients. Inadequate nutritional dosing in either direction is linked with adverse outcomes, including increased morbidity and mortality. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the accepted gold standard for measuring EE, as endorsed by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism ESPEN

๐ World Mental Health Day | 10 October
Mental health is an essential part of overall health and wellbeing. Just as we recognise the importance of nourishing our bodies, we must also make space to care for our minds.
This World Mental Health Day, letโs prioritise mental wellbeing, foster supportive communities, and create environments where everyone feels able to seek support without stigma.
Small acts of kindness, meaningful connections, and access to appropriate support can make a difference. Remember: asking for help is a sign of strength, and no one should have to navigate mental health challenges alone.

Ahead of #WorlMentalHealth Day on 10 October, this study explores the relationship between dietary restriction and depressive symptoms.
Analysing data from 28,525 adults, the study found that calorie restricted diets were associated with higher depressive symptom scores, with some associations also observed among people with overweight and those following nutrient restricted diets.
With this yearโs theme, Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change, the findings highlight the importance of considering mental health alongside dietary and nutritional approaches.
