... VAI has been shown to be a reliable indicator of visceral fat dysfunction and cardiometabolic risk [98]. VAI seems to represent a better predictive tool than common clinical parameters for metabolic disorders in Chinese and Caucasian samples [82,99,100].

... In a subset of the patients, we did not observe a significant change in hs-CRP over the course of treatment, nor did change in hs-CRP correlate significantly with treatment response. Previous studies investigating if n-3 PUFAs reduce CRP have shown conflicting results (Mischoulon et al., 2022;Dezfouli et al., 2020;Elisia et al., 2022;Mori et al., 2003;Mortazavi et al., 2018;Natto et al., 2019;Tayyebi-Khosroshahi et al., 2012), and this effect may depend on a number of factors such as dose, duration, baseline inflammation status and type of illness to name a few. Hs-CRP is a non-specific inflammatory marker that is not able to account for all the biological complexities thought to underlie inflamed depression. ...

... On the other hand, low PUFA intake revealed an inverse association with risk of BMI of more than 30 kg/m 2 in the presence of ADAM17i33708A polymorphism among 936 men amd women [62]. Overally, conflicting evidence in many previous studies regarding the effect of fat intake and obesity-related parameters could be because of the gene-diet interactions and genetic heterogeneity across various ethnic groups [63,64]. Hence, the synergism effect of genetic and dietay intakes should be considered in future studies. ...
... Another cross-sectional study involving 150 women with a mean age of 68.7 years showed that higher dietary antioxidant intake was beneficial for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, since the negative effects of vitamin A was counterbalanced by the intake of such nutrients [42]. A study focused on the predictive value of different dietary antioxidant capacity assessment methods on healthy and unhealthy phenotypes in overweight and obese women suggested that DAQS method was the best predictor for triglyceride, possibly because women have slightly different hormone levels and metabolic capacity compared with men [43]. However, additional large studies were needed to provide evidence before high mortality risk hypertensive populations can be recommended to intake more antioxidant-rich diets such as fruits, vegetables and sea foods [44,45]. ...

... 42,77,78 Moreover, recent studies describing the cancer protective effects of UFAs -OA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have sparked renewed interest in using unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) for cancer avoidance and treatment. [79][80][81][82][83] However, the signicance of omega-6 or omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) in cancer development should be better understood including mechanisms of anticancer actions by inuencing cell proliferation, cell survival, angiogenesis, inammation, metastasis and epigenetic abnormalities that are crucial to the onset and progression of cancer. AA and its metabolites have also recently generated heightened interest due to the growing evidence of their signicant role in cancer biology. ...

Notably, as major dietary energy sources that directly impact blood glucose and insulin levels in all individuals, carbohydrates have been identified as potential factors linked to CRC risk [4][5][6].
