When it comes to nutritional requirements, we have known for decades that one size does not fit all. Bigger and more physically active people need more energy than smaller or more sedentary people—an example of the physical law of conservation of energy. Bigger and more physically active people expend (lose) more energy so, to maintain equilibrium, they need to consume more dietary energy than do smaller or more sedentary people.

Abstract It is elusive why some heavy drinkers progress to severe alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) while others do not. This study aimed to investigate if the association between alcohol consumption and severe ALD is modified by diet. This prospective study included 303,269 UK Biobank participants. Alcohol consumption and diet were self-reported. The diet score was created from 4 items selected using LASSO.

Abstract Background There is increasing interest in the assessment of health-related quality of life (QoL) in the care of patients treated with home parenteral nutrition (HPN). However, it is not known whether healthcare professionals (HCPs) have embedded QoL assessment into routine clinical practice in line with current guidelines to favour a more holistic approach to HPN care.
