- Background The ageing process can be influenced by energy intake and different macronutrients within the diet. The soluble form of the a-Klotho gene (called S-Klotho) is widely considered as a powerful anti-ageing biomarker. Objective To analyze the association of energy, dietary energy density and macronutrient intake with S-Klotho plasma levels in middle-aged sedentary adults. Methods A total of 72 (52.8% women) middle-aged sedentary adults (53.7 +/- 5.2 years old) participated in the study. Energy and macronutrients intake (i.e. fat, carbohydrate and protein) were assessed using three non-consecutive 24-h recalls. S-Klotho plasma levels were measured in the Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma using a solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results No association was observed between energy, dietary energy density or macronutrient intake and S-Klotho plasma levels in men (all P >= 0.1). We found an inverse association between energy, protein and carbohydrate intake with S-Klotho plasma levels in women (all P <= 0.043), which disappeared after controlling for age, lean mass index and sedentary time. An inverse association was observed between dietary energy density and S-Klotho plasma levels in women after controlling for covariates (all P <= 0.05). Conclusion In summary, the present study showed an inverse association of dietary energy density with S-Klotho plasma levels in middle-aged women. In addition, our data suggest that the associations between energy and macronutrient intake could be highly dependent on lean mass and sedentary time.

- Objective: The aim of the current study is to analyze the associations between breakfast consumption and adherence to diet quality index (DQI) and Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) in European adolescents.Methods: A multinational cross-sectional study was carried out in 1804 adolescents aged 12.5–17.5 years. The Food Choices and Preferences questionnaire was used to ascertain breakfast consumption (consumers, occasional consumers and skippers), and two non-consecutive 24 h dietary recalls were used to estimate the total daily intake and to calculate the subsequent DQI and MDS. Mixed linear regression models were used to examine the relationship between breakfast consumption and DQI-A and MDS. Age, maternal education, BMI, country and total energy intake were included as covariates.Results: In both sexes, significant differences were observed among the breakfast consumption categories. In both boys and girls, breakfast consumers had significantly higher DQI indices than those adolescents who skipped breakfast regularly (p < 0.001). Regarding total MDS, in both boys and girls, breakfast consumers had a higher total MDS than breakfast skippers (p < 0.001), however, no associations were shown between occasional breakfast consumers and DQI indices and MDS.Conclusion: Breakfast consumption has been linked with better dietary quality scores compared with those children who usually skip breakfast. Promotion of regular breakfast consumption in adolescents could be an effective strategy to improve the overall diet quality.
