Background: The nutrition transition is linked to the double-burden of malnutrition worldwide, and its impact on the quality of life is considerable. The dietary diversity score and self-rated health are two proxies that have been used to assess, for the former, nutrient adequacy and overall diet quality, and for the latter, health from a sociological, epidemiological and economical lens. The general aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between food and subjective health, and to test the hypothesis that greater dietary diversity is positively associated with a better perception of health. Methods: A transverse comparison of foods consumed in four highly contrasted local socio-ecosystems (i.e., two French oversea territories: French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Portugal and Senegal) was conducted using 24-hour dietary recalls. Dietary diversity was calculated using 18 food groups based on classifications provided by WHO and FAO. Binary logistic regressions were used to assess the relationship between dietary diversity scores and answers to the question assessing self-rated health. Results: Overall, 465 individuals, 18 years and older, from Senegal, Guiana, Guadeloupe and Portugal were interviewed using a 24-hour dietary recall. Participants were selected via a combination of non-probability sampling methods. The mean dietary diversity score for all regions combined was 9.22. Over one-third of participants reported their health as 'good' (39.8%), whereas 'bad' and 'excellent' health were the least reported, at 6.45% and 9.03%, respectively. Multiple binary logistic regression notably found that dietary diversity score (OR = 0.88, 95% CI [0.79, 0.99], p = 0.010) and at-home meal preparation, specifically with the reference category 'all the time' compared to 'never' (OR = 3.31, 95% CI [1.55, 7.07], p = 0.002) were statistically significant predictors of self-rated health (i.e., declaring overall bad health). Conclusions: This study demonstrates a positive association between dietary diversity and self-rated health across distinct cultural contexts. The findings reinforce the importance of diverse diets for subjective well-being, regardless of differences in food systems. Public health messaging should continue to promote dietary diversity and home-cooked meals as effective strategies for improving health. Self-rated health could serve as a useful tool for quickly assessing the outcomes of nutrition therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
ntroduction: In the French overseas department of French Guiana, in South America, nutrition therapy for the management of diabetes is based on French guidelines. However, this region is demographically diverse and includes several populations of Indigenous Peoples, Parikwene among others, also called Palikur. Due to socio-economical, cultural, and geographical differences, along with distinctions in the local food system, dietary recommendations, which many consider in the context of post-colonial power dynamics, are not well suited to local populations. In the absence of suitable recommendations, it is hypothesized that local populations will adapt their dietary practices considering diabetes as an emerging health problem. Methods: Seventy-five interviews were conducted with community members and Elders, as well as healthcare professionals and administrators providing services to the Parikwene population of Macouria and Saint-Georges de l’Oyapock communes. Data regarding the representation of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) consumption and diabetes were collected via semi-structured interviews and participant observation (i.e., observation and participation in community activities), namely via participating in activities related to the transformation of cassava tubers at swidden and fallow fields. Results and Discussion: Parikwene have adapted the transformation of cassava tubers for their consumption in the management of diabetes.The importance of cassava tubers as a staple and core food to the Parikwene food system was established by identifying it as a cultural keystone species. Narratives illustrated conflicting perceptions regarding the implication of cassava consumption in the development of diabetes. Adaptations to the operational sequence involved in the transformation of cassava tubers led to the production of distinct cassava roasted semolina (i.e., couac), based on organoleptic properties (i.e., sweet, and acidic couac).

- Abstract
Globalization is transforming food systems around the world. With few geographical areas spared from nutritional, dietary and epidemiological transitions, chronic diseases have reached pandemic proportions. A question therefore arises as to the sustainability of local food systems. The overall purpose of this article is to put in perspective how local food systems respond to globalization through the assessment of five different case studies stemming from an international research network of Human-Environment Observatories (OHM), namely Nunavik (Québec, Canada), Oyapock (French Guiana, France), Estarreja (Portugal), Téssékéré (Senegal) and Littoral-Caraïbes (Guadeloupe, France). Each region retains aspects of its traditional food system, albeit under different patterns of influence modelled by various factors. These include history, cultural practices, remoteness and accessibility to and integration of globalized ultra-processed foods that induce differential health impacts. Furthermore, increases in the threat of environmental contamination can undermine the benefits of locally sourced foods for the profit of ultra-processed foods. These case studies demonstrate that: (i) the influence of globalization on food systems can be properly understood by integrating sociohistorical trajectories, socioeconomic and sociocultural context, ongoing local environmental issues and health determinants; and (ii) long-term and transverse monitoring is essential to understand the sustainability of local food systems vis-à-vis globalization.

Les Peuples autochtones à travers le monde sont disproportionnellement touchés par le diabète. Parmi ces peuples, les Cris d’Eeyou Istchee et les Pekuakamilnuatsh, au Québec (Canada), ainsi que les Parikwene, en Guyane française (France), recourent à leur médecine locale pour soigner cette maladie. En 173 entrevues semi-dirigées, 208 participants venant de ces communautés et/ou travaillant dans leurs services de santé ont décrit ces médecines. Une méthode de recherche mixte, combinant des analyses thématiques à des statistiques multivariées, est développée pour analyser ces descriptions. Ces analyses ont montré que les participants cris, ilnu et parikwene décrivent leurs médecines en lien avec le diabète tant par les différents éléments du monde naturel, que les pratiques et coutumes locales qui en découlent, que les concepts les liant au territoire. Les pharmacopées à base animales et végétales font parties des thèmes les plus discutés. Plus de 381 espèces (109 animaux, 267 plantes, cinq lichens et champignons) lient les systèmes médicinales et alimentaires ensemble via des notions associées au bien-être ou aux propriétés organoleptiques. Au Québec, là où la population autochtone est plus impliquée dans les services de santé, il existe un rapprochement de la description des médecines locales entre le secteur de la santé et ses usagers. De façon générale, la place de l’alimentation dans les médecines locales ne peut être négligée dans le contexte du diabète. De plus, ces médecines sont indissociables du territoire qui offre un espace de guérison, de subsistance, et de continuité culturelle. Cela renvoie, in fine, à des questions importantes sur la reconnaissance des droits autochtones et des droits fonciers., Indigenous Peoples around the world are disproportionately affected by diabetes. Amongst them, the Cree of Eeyou Istchee and the Pekuakamilnuatsh, from Québec (Canada), and the Parikwene, from French Guiana (France), resort to their local medicines to treat this disease. In 173 semi-structured interviews, 208 participants from these communities and/or working in their healthcare services described these medicines. A mixed-methods research approach, combining thematic analyses with multivariate statistics, was developed to analyse these descriptions. These analyses showed that Cree, Ilnu and Parikwene participants described their medicines related to diabetes through different elements of the natural world, the local practices and customs which result from them, as well as concepts linking them to the Land. Animal and plant-based pharmacopoeias are among the most discussed topics. In total, more than 381 species cited, including 109 animals, 267 plants, as well as five lichens and mushrooms, link the local dietary and medicinal systems together via notions associated with well-being or their organoleptic properties. In Québec, where Indigenous Peoples are more involved in their healthcare services, the representation of local medicines is much closer between healthcare workers and users. In general, the place of food in local medicines cannot be neglected in the context of diabetes. In addition, these medicines are inseparable from the Land which offers a space for healing, subsistence, and cultural continuity. This brings up important questions about the recognition of Indigenous rights and land rights., Thèse en cotutelle / Thesis under joint supervision

Le diabète de type 2 affecte en moyenne 29% de la population adulte crie d’Eeyou Istchee (CEI). Afin d’identifier les plantes médicinales possédant un potentiel antidiabétique, des interviews ont été réalisés dans les communautés CEI de Wemindji et Oujé-Bougoumou. Utilisant une approche quantitative, les espèces mentionnées ont été classées et comparées à la pharmacopée des communautés avoisinantes. Seize et 25 plantes ont été mentionné à Wemindji et Oujé-Bougoumou, respectivement. Sept nouvelles espèces de plantes et une de champignon se sont ajoutées à la liste des espèces à potentiel antidiabétique, bien que la plupart de celles mentionnées pendant les interviews soit en communes à la pharmacopée CEI générale, démontrant ainsi leur importance culturelle. Des analyses phytochimiques sur deux de ces espèces, Rhododendron groenlandicum et Sarracenia purpurea, ont été réalisées à partir d’échantillons récoltés à différents endroits du territoire eeyouch. Bien qu’aucun patron n’ait été détecté dans la variation des composantes biologiquement actives chez S. purpurea, les composés phénoliques chez R. groenlandicum, particulièrement la (+)-catéchine, l’(-)-epicatéchine et la quercétine-3-galactoside, varient spatialement en fonction de paramètres d’insolation telles la radiation solaire ou la photopériode. Les échantillons de cette dernière espèce, testés in vitro dans le bioessai de l’adipogenèse des cellules adipocytes murines 3T3-L1, augmentent l’accumulation intracellulaire des triglycérides, leur conférant ainsi une activité diabétique semblable à la rosiglitazone. Cependant, cette activité était plus faible dans les échantillons à haute teneur en quercétine, cela pouvant ainsi avoir un impact sur la qualité d'un produit de santé naturel fabriqué à partir de cette espèce., Type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions among Canada’s aboriginal populations and affects on average 29% of adult Cree of Eeyou Istchee (CEI). In collaboration with the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay and the CIHR team in Traditional Antidiabetic Aboriginal Medicines, interviews were held in the CEI communities of Wemindji and Oujé-Bougoumou to identify potential antidiabetic plants. Using a quantitative approach, species mentioned were ranked and compared to the pharmacopoeia of other participating communities. Sixteen and 25 plants were mentioned in Wemindji and Oujé-Bougoumou respectively. Seven new plant and one fungal species were added to the list of potential antidiabetic species, although most of those mentioned were common to the general CEI pharmacopoeia, thus supporting the cultural importance that they hold. Phytochemical analyses of two of these species, Rhododendron groenlandicum and Sarracenia purpurea, were made from accessions harvested throughout Eeyou Istchee. While no pattern was detected in the variation of S. purpurea’s biologically active compounds, phenolic compounds from R. groenlandicum, specifically (+)-catchin, (-)-epicatechin and quercetin-3-galactoside, varied spatially as a function of insolation parameters such as solar radiation or photoperiod. Samples from the latter, tested in vitro in the 3T3-L1 murine adipocytes adipogenesis bioassay, increased the intracellular accumulation of triglycerides, thus conferring it a glitazone-like antidiabetic activity. This activity, however, was weaker in accessions with high quercetin content, which could have an impact on the quality of a natural health product made from this species.
