Avant-propos
L'importance de la nutrition pour la santé humaine est reconnu depuis longtemps. Avant 1960,
d'intérêt dans ce domaine portait principalement sur l'étiologie et la prévention des nutriments aiguë
les maladies de carence, comme le scorbut, le rachitisme, et la pellagre. Quelque 50 éléments nutritifs essentiels (vitamines,
minéraux, des antioxydants, des cofacteurs, des acides aminés essentiels, des acides gras essentiels)
ont été identifiés, et apports quotidiens recommandés pour les éléments nutritifs essentiels ont été développés.
Ces recommandations, à son tour, s'est avérée précieuse dans l'éradication de aiguë carence en éléments nutritifs
maladies.
Au cours des 20 dernières années, l'attention s'est déplacée vers le rôle de l'alimentation et la nutrition dans la pathogenèse
des maladies dégénératives chroniques. Les maladies du cœur, certains cancers, l'ostéoporose,
diabète de type II, et la dégénérescence maculaire sont bien? exemples connus de maladies avec alimentaire
facteurs de risque et de la recherche est actuellement en cours sur de nombreux interactions entre les maladies plus d'éléments nutritifs?.
Malheureusement, ces associations sont difficiles à étudier, en partie en raison de la
délais d'exécution impliqués. Les maladies dégénératives chroniques de développer au fil des décennies (ou la durée de vie),
et il est extrêmement difficile de mener des recherches
programmes couvrant plus de plusieurs
ans en longueur. Néanmoins, les progrès
dans la recherche épidémiologique et clinique
ont découvert une grande quantité d'informations
sur l'impact de l'alimentation et les apports nutritionnels
sur le long? santé à long terme.
Au cours de la dernière décennie, la science et de la santé
les chercheurs ont accordé une attention croissante
le rôle des suppléments nutritionnels
que possible des composants alimentaires avec
rôles dans la prévention et le traitement chronique
la maladie. Des centaines d'études scientifiques ont
été réalisées et publiées, couvrant chacune
un large éventail de problèmes de santé potentiels.
Ces études ont utilisé une échelle
variété de méthodologies et ils ont
«Nous recommandons que tous les adultes de prendre
une multivitamine quotidienne. Cette pratique est
justifie principalement par le plus connu et dont on soupçonne
avantages de l'acide folique supplémentaire
et de vitamines B12, B6 et D dans les
prévention des maladies cardiovasculaires,
le cancer et l'ostéoporose ...
Nous recommandons des multivitamines, plutôt
que les vitamines individuelles, parce que les multivitamines
sont plus simples à prendre et
moins cher que les vitamines individuelles
pris séparément et parce qu'une grande
proportion de la population a besoin
suppléments de plus d'une vitamine. "

produit des résultats positifs et négatifs. Dans certaines régions - telles que le rôle du calcium
et des suppléments de vitamine D dans le ralentissement de la progression de l'ostéoporose, ou le rôle des folique
des suppléments d'acide dans la prévention de certaines malformations congénitales - les résultats ont été en grande partie conforme,
et ces nutriments sont devenus une composante acceptée de pratiques de soins de santé modernes.
Dans d'autres domaines (par exemple le rôle de la supplémentation en antioxydants dans la prévention des maladies du cœur),
résultats ont été moins uniformes, et des conclusions définitives restent controversés.
Ce qui suit est une bibliographie énumérative des pairs? De recherche a examiné l'examen possible
avantages pour la santé de suppléments nutritionnels et des aliments fonctionnels. Cette liste n'est pas exhaustive.
Des communications ont été sélectionnés sur la base du mérite scientifique et la pertinence de la
domaine, indépendamment du fait que les résultats positifs ou négatifs ont été obtenus. Notre objectif dans
compilation de cette liste est de fournir aux lecteurs un bon centre? section de la littérature scientifique récente,
avec l'espoir de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de l'état actuel de l'état nutritionnel
recherche.

C et l'incidence de la maladie coronarienne [coronarienne

réduction du risque semble être limité
aux femmes qui ont pris la vitamine C
suppléments. Parmi les usagers de la vitamine C

Risque inférieur de 28% des IM non mortels et
fatale maladie coronarienne que chez les non-utilisateurs. Bien que

“Evidence from prospective secondary

“In summary, the results of the present
study suggest that moderate to severe
vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for
developing cardiovascular disease.
These findings may have potentially
broad public health implications, given
the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency

contribution of lifestyle and geography
to vitamin D status, and the ease, safety,
and low cost of treating vitamin D
deficiency.”

“In conclusion, our data indicate that
oral treatment with folic acid restores
endothelial dysfunction and abolishes
the increase in radical-damage end
products induced by triglyceride-rich
lipoproteins. In combination, these data
imply that folic acid enhances NO
[nitric oxide] bioavailability through
inhibition of lipid-induced oxygen radical
stress. These data underscore a
potential beneficial effect of folic acid
supplementation for cardiovascular
prevention strategies, especially in patients
with an impaired cholesterol
remnant clearance, such as in diabetes
and familial combined hyperlipidemia.
It is also of interest that higher
dietary folate intake apparently may
also protect healthy humans from daily
fat-associated endothelial insults.”

“In this case-control study of North Carolina
women, we found only very limited
support for the hypothesis that vitamin
supplement use is associated with a decreased
risk of breast cancer. Among
white women, any use of multivitamins,
vitamin C or vitamin E in the past five
years was each associated with an approximately
20% decrease in breast
cancer risk; however, the confidence
intervals around these estimates all included
one. There was no evidence of a
dose-response relationship between duration
of use and breast cancer risk. Dans
contrast to the modest inverse associations
with certain vitamin supplements
suggested for white women, there was
essentially no evidence of a protective
effect among black women for any of
the vitamins examined.”

significant inverse association between

des risques. No associations were observed between
intake of total energy, macronutrients,

“The SU.VI.MAX trial followed a pragmatic
approach in testing the effect of a combination
of 5 antioxidant vitamins or mineral
at low doses. It is thus not possible to
identify which individual micronutrient or
combination is responsible for the preventative
effect observed. Nevertheless, our

can be achieved with antioxidant vitamins
and minerals.”

“In the 11 non-hormone-dependent
cancer sites described above, 46 studies
have specifically reported on a vitamin
C index or plasma ascorbate values; 33
of these found statistically significant
protective effects, and several more
were in the protective direction but did
not achieve significance. None has
found elevated risk with increasing intake.
In addition to those, 29 studies reported
on the effect of fruit consumption,
21 of which found significant protection
associated with frequent consumption
or high risk associated with low
consumption. For oral, esophageal, gastric,
and pancreatic cancer, the evidence
is extremely strong, with virtually
all studies showing a significant protective
effect.”

“Our study of nearly 1100 incident cases
of cancer is one of the largest prospective
studies of serum selenium levels and
cancer risk and has more site-specific
cancers than any previous study. Nous
found highly significant (p < 10?4) inverse
associations of serum selenium levels with
the incidence of both esophageal and
gastric cardia cancers over a period of
5.25 years of follow-up. Individuals in the
highest quartile of selenium developed
these cancers at approximately half the
rate as individuals in the lowest quartile.”
-SD Mark, et al. (#245)
“Total vitamin B6 intake was also statistically
significantly inversely associated
with risk of colorectal cancer. We observed
59 cases of colorectal cancer
among the 25% of women (approximately
8200) with the lowest plasma vitamin B6
concentrations over the 10-year followup,
compared with 33 cases of colorectal
cancer in the 25% of women with the
highest plasma vitamin B6 concentrations.”

“So far, epidemiological data for cancer
argue for an overall positive role of suninduced
vitamin D. There may be more
beneficial than adverse effects of moderately
increased sun exposure, even for
total cancer mortality. This message
should be addressed to populations at risk
for vitamin D deficiency.”
- J Moan, et al. (#252)
“Based on overall consideration of results
from observational and laboratory studies,
the existing evidence is consistent
with the hypothesis that increasing vitamin
D3 intake to 1000–2000 IU per day or
raising the serum level of 25(OH)D to 33
ng/mL or higher would be associated
with substantially lower incidence rates of
colorectal cancer, with only minimal
risks.”

“In conclusion, our findings do not support
a protective role of calcium and
vitamin D intakes against colorectal
cancer incidence. However, given the
strong evidence from both animal studies
and in vitro studies, the benefits of
these two nutrients cannot be ruled out.
More detailed investigation of the interaction
of calcium with other nutrients,
including vitamin D, and additional
questions better characterizing vitamin D
status may be necessary to elucidate
the true associations of calcium and vitamin
D with risk of colorectal cancer.”
-J Lin, et al. (#243)
“Optimizing micronutrient intake
(through better diets, fortification of
foods, or multivitamin-mineral pills) can
have a major impact on public health at
low cost. Other micronutrients are likely
to be added to the list of those whose
deficiency causes DNA damage in the
coming years. Tuning-up human metabolism,
which varies with genetic constitution
and changes with age, is likely to
be a major way to minimize DNA damage,
improve health and prolong
healthy lifespan.”

“In our study, vitamin E showed no overall
effect on lung cancer; however, preliminary
analyses indicate possible efficacy
with longer duration of intervention. Prostate
cancer incidence was 34% lower in
the vitamin E group and colorectal cancer
was 16% lower, the latter being consistent
with recent observational data
suggesting such a protective association.
Such effects, if corroborated by other
studies, would have substantial public
health consequences on two common
malignancies.”
- D Albanes, et al. (#180)
“On a very simplistic level, cancer is
thought to arise because of an excess of
DNA damage and/or the inappropriate
expression of critical genes. Folate has
consequently been of particular interest
as a potential cancer protective agent
because of the important roles it plays in
nucleotide synthesis, as well as in the biological
methylation of molecules such as
DNA, RNA, proteins, and the phospholipids.”

“Our findings indicate that supplementation
with 800 mg calcium and 400 IU vitamin
D3 per day for a period of 6
months was associated with increased
trabecular area, trabecular density and
strength strain index at the ultra-distal
tibia and radius and increased cortical
area at tibial mid-shaft.”

“Our particular contribution has been to
extend from animal models to humans
the essentiality of Cu, Mn and Zn in the
development and maintenance of BMD
[bone mineral density]… Through understanding
the value of trace elements
from food or supplements, and through
sensible dietary strategies, we can slow
the rate of bone loss, thus delaying or
preventing osteoporosis, in a simple and
inexpensive manner.”
- PD Saltman, et al. (#371)
“In summary, dietary supplementation
with a combination of nutritionally relevant
amounts of vitamin K with vitamin D
and calcium in healthy older women
was associated with a modest but significant
increase in BMC at one site, consisting
predominantly of trabecular bone.
Similar changes were not observed in
either the vitamin K group alone or in the
calcium plus vitamin D group, suggesting
a synergistic role of the combination as
sugggested by previous reports.”

“Much evidence indicates that both
calcium and vitamin D are efficacious in
protecting the skeleton, particularly
when these 2 nutrients are used in combination.
Each nutrient is necessary for
the full expression of the effect of the
other, and where their actions are independent,
their effects on skeletal health
are complementary. Nutrient status for
both tends to be deficient in the adult
population of the industrialized nations.
Hence, supplementation or food fortification
with both nutrients is appropriate
and, given contemporary diets and sun
exposure, probably necessary.”
- RP Heaney (#334)
“Adequate nutrition plays a major role in
the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis;
the nutrients of greatest importance
are calcium and vitamin D. Numerous
studies have shown that higher
calcium intake at various ages are associated
with higher bone mineral density
compared with the bone mass of those
with lower calcium intakes. In older
postmenopausal women, the benefits of
vitamin D and calcium supplementation
in preventing bone loss, decreasing
bone turnover, and decreasing nonvertebral
fractures are clear.”

“We have demonstrated for the first time
in a purposeful, community-based prospective
study an association between
maternal nutritional measurements in
pregnancy and two major risk factors for
type 2 diabetes in the offspring… Maternal
macronutrient intakes were unrelated
to adiposity and insulin resistance
in the offspring. However, higher maternal
folate concentrations predicted
greater adiposity (fat mass and body fat
per cent) and higher insulin resistance,
and lower vitamin B12 concentrations
predicted higher insulin resistance. Enfants
born to mothers with low vitamin B12
concentrations but high folate concentrations
were the most insulin resistant.”
- CS Yajnik, et al. (#491)
“In conclusion, relatively modest amounts
of dietary docosahexaenoic acid during
pregnancy appear to extend gestational
age and may lead to enhanced fetal
growth.”

during pregnancy should be aimed at
preventing problems in neonates and
infants, and a vitamin D dose sufficient
for the mother during pregnancy should

infant or supplementing the mother with

maintain normal 25(OH)D concentrations

“Omega-3 fatty acid (dietary or in capsules)
ensures that a woman's adipose
tissue contains a reserve of these fatty
acids for the developing fetus and the
breast-fed newborn infant. This ensures
the optimal cerebral and cognitive development
of the infant. The presence of
large quantities of EPA and DHA in the
diet slightly lengthens pregnancy, and
improves its quality.”

“Inadequate intake and status of vitamins
and trace elements may lead to
suppressed immunity, which predisposes
to infections and aggravates undernutrition.
Evidence has accumulated that in
humans certain nutrients selectively influence
the immune response, induce
dysregulation of a coordinated host response
to infections in cases of deficiency
and oversupply, and that deficiency
may impact virulence of otherwise
harmless pathogens. Thus, micronutrients
are required at appropriate intakes for
the immune system to function optimally.
Available data indicate a role of vitamins
(A, D, E, B6, B12, folate, and C),
and trace elements (selenium, zinc,
copper, and iron) on the immune response…
Overall, inadequate intake and
status of these vitamins and trace elements
may lead to suppressed immunity,
which predisposes to infections and aggravates
malnutrition. Therefore, supplementation
with these selected micronutrients
can support the body's natural
defence system by enhancing all
three levels of immunity.”

“Because aging and malnutrition exert
cumulative influences on immune responses,
many elderly people have poor
cell-mediated immune responses and
are therefore at a high risk of infection.
Nutritional therapy may improve immune
responses of elderly patients with
protein-energy malnutrition. La supplémentation
with high pharmacologic doses of
a single nutrient (zinc or vitamin E) may
be useful for improving immune responses
of self-sufficient elderly people
living at home. Therefore, nutritional deficiency
must be treated in the elderly to
reduce infectious risk and possibly slow
the aging process.”
- BM Lesourd (#560)
“In summary, our results show that the
age-associated defect in the redistribution
of signaling molecules to the immunological
synapse is reversed by vitamin
E. This effect is strongest in naive T cells,
which exhibit the age-related defects in
protein recruitment and T cell activation.
This is the first demonstration of a reversal
of a key early signaling defect in aged T
cells by a nutrient. These findings have
important implications for the development
of preventive and therapeutic
strategies to reduce age-associated defects
in T cells.”

“Although our study suggests that many
elderly individuals might benefit from a
supplementary intake of vitamin E, such
public health recommendations can
only be considered after longer-term
studies with lower amounts of tocopherol
are completed. This point will be especially
important in determining if the
immunostimulatory effect observed is
due to pharmacologic or physiologic
effect of vitamin E. Nevertheless, it is encouraging
to note that a single nutrient
supplement can enhance immune responsiveness
in healthy elderly subjects
consuming the recommended amounts
of all nutrients. This is especially significant
because dietary intervention
represents the most practical approach
for delaying or reversing the rate of decline
of immune function with age.”

“In summary, the present study demonstrates
that modest daily doses of micronutrients
given for 1 y can enhance cellular
immunity and can also prevent the
development of biochemical evidence
of micronutrient deficiencies in healthy,
independently living older people. Ces
results suggest that the dietary micronutrient
intake of older people and/or the
current RDAs for one or more micronutnients
may be too low to support optimal
immunity in older individuals.”
- JD Bogden, et al. (#515)
“In conclusion, our double-blind, placebo-
controlled study shows that levels of
vitamin E higher than currently recommended
enhance in vivo indexes of T
cell-mediated function in healthy elderly.
The enhancement of cell-mediated
immunity by vitamin E was not associated
with any adverse effects. Depuis
age-associated decline in immune response
is associated with increased
morbidity and mortality in the elderly
and is widely observed, recommendations
to increase the intake of vitamin E
for elderly should be considered.”

“Although many open questions remain,
there is promise that vitamin A and D
metabolites or their analogues have the
potential to be used in clinical settings
for therapeutic benefit. In particular, it
will be important to assess the impact of
using 1,25(OH)2VD3 analogues as an
adjuvant immunomodulatory therapy in
the setting of autoimmune diseases and
in transplant recipients. It will also be important
to determine the net effects of
retinoic acid or synthetic RAR-agonists,
especially in the intestine, where these
agents appear to have a role in enhancing
immune responses. The capacity
of vitamin A metabolites to foster guthoming
T cells might improve strategies
of mucosal vaccination or aid in decreasing
pathogenic immunity by potentiating
the induction of TReg cells.”
- JR Mora, et al. (#570)
“Nutritional intervention has proven to
be a practical approach in modulating
dysregulated immune and inflammatory
responses. The efficacy of such intervention,
as with vitamin E, for example, has
been demonstrated in clinical trials using
infections as an endpoint. At the same
time, mechanistic studies have deciphered
how vitamin E affects T cell functions
at cellular and molecular levels and
thus, lend further support to the efficacy
of nutrient supplementation in modulating
the age-related immune dysregulation.”

“In this large prospective study, we observed
a modest inverse association between
intake of lutein and zeaxanthin
and extraction of cataracts. Men in the
highest fifth of lutein and zeaxanthin intake
had a 19% lower risk of cataract
extraction compared with those in the
lowest fifth of intake. There was no significant
association between intake of vitamin
A or other carotenoids and risk of
cataract in multivariate analyses. Increased
consumption of some foods
high in lutein, including broccoli and spinach,
was associated with a lower risk of
cataract extraction. The finding that increased
intake of other fruit and vegetables
was not associated with a decreased
risk suggests that the relation
may be specifically due to lutein and
zeaxanthin and not simply to a healthy
lifestyle.”
-L Brown, et al. (#618)
“In summary, data from the present short
term prospective study are consistent
with potentially protective influences of
vitamins E and C and lutein on the development
of cataract in the lens nucleus.
However, strong inverse relations for
intake of these nutrients were not observed.
Data from longer term prospective
studies and from clinical trials currently
under way will be useful in further evaluating
these associations.”

“In summary, a multivitamin-multimineral
supplement with a combination of vitamin
C, vitamin E, ?-carotene, and zinc
(with cupric oxide) is recommended for
AMD but not cataract. Observational
studies for cataract provide only weak
support for multivitamins or other vitamin
supplements. The results of observational
studies suggest that a healthy lifestyle
with a diet containing foods rich in antioxidants,
especially lutein and zeaxanthin,
and n–3 fatty acids appears beneficial
for AMD and possibly cataract.”
-JM Seddon (#664)
“The results of our LAST [Lutein Antioxidant
Supplementation Trial] study support
the results of our pilot spinach data
that lutein may be useful in the nutritional
intervention of atrophic ARMD [agerelated
macular degeneration] in midwestern
male subjects. In LAST, lutein enhanced
macular pigment and visual
function with AREDS stages II, III, and IV.
Thus lutein supplementation may be
beneficial at all stages of ARMD. Further
studies with more patients of both
genders are needed to determine the
long-term effect of lutein alone or lutein
together with a broad spectrum of antioxidants,
vitamins, and minerals on patients
with atrophic age-related macular
degeneration.”

“In summary, the results of the present
study provide added support for a relation
between nutrient intake and nuclear
opacification. Our observation that
vitamin E intake is associated with a reduction
in nuclear opacification is consistent
with other longitudinal studies,
strengthening the hypothesized role for
this specific nutrient in nuclear cataract
formation, and the associations with riboflavin,
thiamin, and niacin should
serve to focus added effort on examining
the role of these nutrients in the development
of nuclear cataract.”
- PF Jacques, et al. (#635)
“In this large prospective study, those
with the highest intake of lutein and
zeaxanthin had a 22% lower risk of cataract
extraction than did those in the
lowest quintile of intake (RR: 0.78; 95%
CI:0.63, 0.95; P for trend = 0.04) after
age, smoking, and other potential cataract
risk factors were controlled for. Autre
specific carotenoids (a-carotene, bcarotene,
lycopene, and bcryptoxanthin),
vitamin A, and retinol
were not associated with cataract in
multivariate analysis. Increasing frequency
of intake of spinach and kale,
foods rich in lutein, was associated with
a moderate decrease in risk. The observation
that other fruit and vegetables
were not associated with decreased risk
suggests that the relation may be due to
lutein, a specific carotenoid predominantly
found in spinach and kale, and
not to a healthy lifestyle per se.”

“In the overall sample we observed no
associations between antioxidant nutrient
intake and either cortical or PSC
[posterior subcapsular] opacities, but we
noted significant and provocative associations
in selected subgroups. The inverse
association observed in the
present study between vitamin C intake
and the prevalence of cortical opacities
in women aged <60 y and the fact that
significantly decreased odds of cortical
opacities were found only with a duration
of vitamin C supplement use >=10 y
provide added support for a protective
role for vitamin C against the formation
of lens opacities. We also found that for
PSC opacities there were decreased
odds for nonsmokers with higher intakes
of carotenoids.”
