Dietary risk factors for pediatric kidney stones: a case-control study.
This study’s objective was to perform a case-control study of the association of dietary nutrients with pediatric urolithiasis. Researchers obtained dietary information from pediatric urolithiasis patients and healthy controls; survey results were converted to standard nutrient intakes. Findings showed that higher dietary intake of calcium, sodium, and beta carotene, and lower potassium intake were associated with pediatric urolithiasis.

Behavioral counseling interventions to promote a healthy diet and physical activity for cardiovascular disease prevention in adults without known cardiovascular disease risk factors: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Serv
This paper’s objective was to synthesize the evidence on benefits and harms of behavioral counseling interventions to promote a healthy diet and physical activity in adults without known cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors to inform a USPSTF recommendation. Findings showed that healthy diet and physical activity behavioral counseling interventions for persons without a known risk of CVD were associated with small but statistically significant benefits across a variety of important intermediate health outcomes and small to moderate effects on dietary and physical activity behaviors.
