Abstract

This study compared distributions of carotenoid intake and diet-serum correlations using two sources of carotenoid data: the US Department of Agriculture-National Cancer Institute (USDA-NCI) carotenoid food composition database and values accompanying the Block-NCI Health Habits and History Questionnaire (HHHQ). A 100-item food frequency questionnaire was used to collect dietary data from 2,152 adults, aged 43 to 85 years, who were participating in the Nutritional Factors in Eye Disease Study, a population-based study designed to evaluate nutritional factors associated with age-related eye disease. Blood samples were collected from a random sample of 400 nonfasting participants in the study. Median carotenoid intakes using HHHQ vs USDA-NCI data were alpha carotene (229 vs 223 micrograms/day), beta carotene (1,321 vs 1,325 micrograms/day), beta cryptoxanthin (72 vs 21 micrograms/day), lutein + zeaxanthin (653 vs 811 micrograms/day), and lycopene (593 vs 1,615 micrograms/day). all paired differences in carotenoid intake were significantly different from zero (Wilcoxon signed-rank, P < .0001). Despite these differences, the two databases similarly ranked individuals according to carotenoid intake: Spearman correlations ranged from...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
