A review of 120 studies published since 2006 was undertaken to examine the relationship between food insecurity at the household or individual level and the following nutrition indicators: child stunting, child wasting, low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding of infants < 6 months of age, anaemia in women of reproductive age, child overweight and adult obesity. While there is some evidence of a direct association between food insecurity and stunting for children in lower-middle and upper-middle income countries, evidence of links between food insecurity and either child wasting or overweight is almost absent, with the exception of an association with overweight among girls in middle- and high-income countries. The obesity–food insecurity link is most predominant among women in high-income countries, while it is almost absent in men. In addition, food insecurity increases the risk for low birth weight in infants and anaemia in women. Methodological concerns that pose challenges for valid comparison of results relate to study design, data analysis techniques, use of different indicators of household/individual food security and malnutrition, and the limited availability of high-quality micro-level data from large-scale surveys. Most studies report correlation rather than causal associations between food insecurity and nutrition indicators; longitudinal micro-level data from large-scale surveys can help establish causal association and capture the dynamic nature of food insecurity. Food insecurity emerges as a predictor of undernutrition as well as overweight and obesity, highlighting the need for multisectoral strategies and policies to combat food insecurity and multiple forms of malnutrition.

Both nutrition deficiency and overnutrition can have a significant effect on the risk of infection. Nutrition, Immunity, and Infection focuses on the influence of diet on the immune system and how altering one’s diet helps prevent and treat infections and chronic diseases. This book reviews basic immunology and discusses changes in immune function throughout the life course. It features comprehensive chapters on obesity and the role of immune cells in adipose tissue; undernutrition and malnutrition; infant immune maturation; pre- and probiotics; mechanisms of immune regulation by various vitamins and minerals; nutrition and the aging immune system; nutrition interactions with environmental stress; and immunity in the global health arena. Nutrition, Immunity, and Infection describes the various roles of nutrients and other food constituents on immune function, host defense, and resistance to infection. It describes the impact of infection on nutritional status through a translational approach. Chapters bring together molecular, cellular, and experimental studies alongside human trials so that readers can assess both the evidence for the effects of the food component being discussed and the mechanisms underlying those effects. The impact of specific conditions including obesity, anorexia nervosa, and HIV infection is also considered. Chapter authors are experts in nutrition, immunity, and infection from all around the globe, including Europe, Australia, Brazil, India, and the United States. This book is a valuable resource for nutrition scientists, food scientists, dietitians, health practitioners, and students interested in nutrition and immunity.

Immune health has become especially popular in 2020 due to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, which is the name of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The immune system has both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory functions that are executed by immune cells based on the stressors we all face on a daily basis. Normally, we have no idea that our immune system is working; it takes care of us in a silent fashion. We find out that our immune cells are behaving in a pro-inflammatory fashion when we feel sick. For example, if you are sick in bed with cold or flu symptoms and a fever, it is because your immune system is activated and pumping out an excess of inflammatory chemicals. Many other symptoms manifest when the immune system is pro-inflammatory even when we are not sick with a cold or flu, such as chronic pain, headaches, fatigue, anxiety, depression, brain fog, and malaise. It turns out that nutrition is a key factor that determines immune activity. A high calorie diet that is rich in refined sugar, flour, and oils, which leads to obesity and high blood glucose levels, causes immune cells to behave in a pro-inflammatory fashion. In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, these same people are at a much greater risk for developing severe cold and flu symptoms, and severe cases of COVID-19. The DeFlame Diet for Immune Health will teach you about immune function and inflammation, how to track inflammation, and how to DeFlame your diet to normalize immune activity.

The increasing prevalence and burden of obesity transcends borders, straining populations worldwide. Data shows that 50 million girls, 74 million boys, 390 million women, and 281 million men were estimated to have obesity in 2016 (NCD-RisC, 2017). The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on October 9, 2018 to address the status of the global obesity pandemic and discuss diverse approaches to manage this problem. Speakers examined the collective prevalence, costs, and drivers of obesity around the world using cross-cultural comparisons. Panels and group discussions emphasized the need to reduce disparities in prevention and treatment efforts and to generate new policy and system initiatives related to nutrition and physical activity worldwide. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO), is the result of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection [1]. The disease has affected more than 75 million people globally; more than 1.6 million people have succumb to the COVID-19 disease and died, and the number of infected is increasing consistently [2]. Among the dead, a majority of the patients were reportedly obese and/or had other comorbid conditions. The obese people with >40 body mass index (BMI) have been reported to be at the increased risk of showing severity from COVID-19 [3]. However, this intricate relationship surfaced pretty late in the course of pandemic with a scarce reporting on the metabolic parameters such as BMI in the preliminary data from the hospitalized COVID-19 patients [4].Obesityobesity bookobesity codeobesity code audiobookobesity code bookobesity drugobesity exerciseobesity factor bookobesity free bookobesity killsobesity managementobesity medicineobesity medicine board review questionsobesity questionsobesity textbookobesity therapyobesity in americaobesity cure
