Abstract
Osteoporosis constitutes a serious challenge for public health. Dietary patterns belong to important, modifiable risk factors of this disease. Therefore, what and in what quantities we consume on a daily basis are extremely relevant. It is commonly known that bone health is positively affected by vitamins (e.g., vitamin D and vitamin K) as well as mineral components (e.g., calcium and magnesium). However, the human diet consists of many other groups of compounds that exhibit a potential antiosteoporotic and supporting bone-building effect. These dietary components include carotenoids. This paper presents a broad review of studies on the influence of particular carotenoids (β-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, and lycopene) on bones. The paper discusses up-to-date in vitro experiments and research on animal models and presents how the results translate into clinical effect in humans.

Zhang G, Li X, Zheng X. Associations of serum carotenoids with asthma and mortality in the US adults. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24992. [PMID: 38318021 PMCID: PMC10840010 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This study was to investigate the association between serum carotenoid levels and the prevalence of asthma, as well as the relationship between serum carotenoid levels and the risk of mortality among individuals with asthma. Methods Data on five serum carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein/zeaxanthin, and lycopene) were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2006. Mortality data was extracted from the pertinent mortality records within the NHANES database, up to December 31, 2019. Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the association between serum carotenoid concentrations and asthma prevalence. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the connection between serum carotenoids and mortality rates in asthma individuals. Results Among the study population, 1569 (12.63 %) individuals were diagnosed with asthma, while 25.01 % of asthma patients died within a median follow-up duration of 15.5 (13.8-17.3) years. After controlling for all other variables, greater serum levels of certain carotenoids, such asα-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, and lutein/zeaxanthin, were found to be substantially linked with a decreased prevalence of asthma. Furthermore, persons with asthma who had greater levels of serum carotenoids in the fourth quartile had a significantly lower risk of all-cause death compared to those in the first quartile. Specifically, the presence of α-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, and lutein/zeaxanthin was associated with reductions in all-cause mortality by 45 % (HR = 0.55 [0.36-0.84], Ptrend = 0.002), 38 % (HR = 0.62 [0.42-0.92], Ptrend = 0.004), and 45 % (HR = 0.55 [0.41-0.73], Ptrend<0.001), respectively. The above relationships are mostly linear and remain robust in sensitivity analyses. Conclusions Our findings indicate that higher serum carotenoids are related with a reduced likelihood of mortality in asthmatic individuals.

Abstract
Depression has a multifactorial etiology comprising family history and unemployment. This review aims to summarize the evidence available for the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of carotenoids in mood disorders. This review article’s methodologies were based on a search of the PubMed database for all linked published papers. Epidemiological studies indicate that a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, and olive oil may prevent the development of depression. Antioxidant supplementation has been found to combat various stress-induced psychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety. A growing body of evidence indicates that carotenoids have both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Studies also suggest that poor dietary intake, particularly low intakes of fruit and vegetables and high intakes of fast food and other convenience foods, may increase the risk of developing depression. Thus, dietary interventions have the potential to help mitigate the risk of mental health decline in both the general population and those with mood disorders. Considering that carotenoids have both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, it is expected that they might exert a promising antidepressant effect. Nevertheless, further studies (including interventional and mechanistic studies) assessing the effect of carotenoids on preventing and alleviating depression symptoms are needed.

Abstract
Rapeseed oil is the third most consumed culinary oil in the world. It is well-known for its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids, which make it of great nutritional value. There is increasing evidence that a diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids offers health benefits. Although the consumption of rapeseed oil cuts across many areas around the world, the nutritional elements of rapeseed oil and the exact efficacy of the nutrients remain unclear. In this review, we systematically summarized the latest studies on functional rapeseed components to ascertain which component of canola oil contributes to its function. Apart from unsaturated fatty acids, there are nine functional components in rapeseed oil that contribute to its anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective, among others. These nine functional components are vitamin E, flavonoids, squalene, carotenoids, glucoraphanin, indole-3-Carbinol, sterols, phospholipids, and ferulic acid, which themselves or their derivatives have health-benefiting properties. This review sheds light on the health-benefiting effects of rapeseed oil in the hope of further development of functional foods from rapeseed.

The Nordic prudent diet prolongs survival with good mental and physical functioning among older adults: The role of healthy lifestyle. Clin Nutr 2021; 40:4838-4844. [PMID: 34358824 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2021.06.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Revised: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Healthy diet has been associated with decreased mortality, but its impact on survival without disability is less clear. We aimed to investigate the association between the Nordic Prudent Diet Pattern (NPDP) and dementia- and disability-free survival, and to assess its interaction with other healthy lifestyle behaviors. METHODS Within the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care-Kungsholmen, 2290 dementia- and disability-free adults aged ≥60 were followed up to 12 years to detect survival free from dementia (standard criteria) and disability (Katz's Activities of Daily Living). NPDP index was assessed at baseline with a 98-item food frequency questionnaire (characterized mainly by more frequent intakes of vegetable, fruit, cooking, cereals, whole grains, fish, and water) and was further categorized into tertiles (low, moderate, or high). Information on lifestyle factors was collected via baseline questionnaire. A favorable (vs unfavorable) lifestyle profile was determined based on smoking status, social network and physical activity. Data were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard regression models and Laplace regression. RESULTS During the follow-up, 1074 participants survived without dementia and disability (614 died, 518 became disabled, and 84 developed dementia). Compared to low NPDP adherence, the hazard ratio (HR) of high NPDP adherence was 1.19 (95% CI 1.04-1.34) for dementia- and disability-free survival. High NPDP adherence prolonged lifespan without mental and physical disability by an average of 1.24 years (95% CI 0.11-2.37). Further, among participants with high NPDP adherence, a favorable lifestyle profile was associated with an even higher HR (1.96, 95% CI 1.52-2.42) of dementia- and disability-free survival, corresponding to an average of 3.80 (95% CI 2.25-5.35) years longer life compared to those with low NPDP adherence and an unfavorable lifestyle profile. CONCLUSION High adherence to NPDP prolongs survival with good mental and physical function for more than one year, and this could increase to almost four years with a favorable lifestyle.
