ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between macronutrient intake and sleep quality， the current sleep quality of pregnant women from ten cities in China was investigated.MethodsMultistage stratified sampling was used to investigate the nutrient intake and sleep quality of 863 pregnant women in ten Chinese cities. Twenty-four dietary intake， sleep quality， perinatal depression， and other information was obtained using physical measurements and a questionnaire. Logistic and multiple linear regression models were used to explore the relationship between macronutrient intake and sleep quality.ResultsThe prevalence of poor sleep quality among pregnant women was 46.12%； pregnant women who were in the third trimester， who had depression， were currently unemployed， passively smoked during pregnancy， and had a history of previous alcohol consumption， demonstrated a higher levels of poor sleep quality （P

Fermented dairy products undergo structural and textural changes during fermentation， resulting in the production of unique nutrients. Therefore， they have special flavors and nutritional characteristics， offering health benefits for middle-aged and older adults， based on relevant evidence from global cohort studies. This article reviews evidence from global long-term follow-up cohort studies investigating the associations between fermented dairy products intake and overweight/obesity， cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， prediabetes and diabetes， cognition， and tumorigenesis. Additionally， this review explores the potential mechanisms for these associations.

Objective: To explore the application and improvement of "Chinese Diabetes Risk Score " on screening type 2 diabetes mellitus in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia., Methods: Using multi-stage systematic sampling, 6987 adults were selected to be administered questionnaire and to finish anthropological measurements( height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure) and blood tests for fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. According to Chinese Diabetes Risk Score( DRS-1), some new lifestyle factors associated with diabetes risk were add to the construction of New Diabetes Risk Score( DRS-3)., Results: Multi-logistic regression analysis showed a statistically significant positive association between cereals intake and diabetes risk( P <0. 05). In contrast, consumption of fruits was significantly, inversely associated with diabetes risk after adjustment of potential confounders( P < 0. 05). The AUC of the newrisk score( DRS-3), which were constructed by cereals and fruits intake and some other factors, significantly higher when compared with the AUC of the original risk score( DRS-1)( 0. 770 and 0. 783, respectively). The sensitivity and specificity of DRS-1 were 85. 8% and 54. 0% respectively when using the cutoff value recommended( 25 scores). While the sensitivity and specificity of DRS-3 were 85. 5% and 57. 7% respectively when using the optimal cutoff value( 27 scores)., Conclusion: Chinese Diabetes Risk Score can be used as a primary screening tool for diabetes, and it is necessary to include some lifestyle factors for the improvement of its screening ability.
