Study reveals world's biggest eaters where calories are concerned - the UK's ranking, however, may surprise you.
Compiled by Oxford University scientists at OurWorldInData, the list uses statistics released by the United Nations.
Despite its reputation for super-size portions and the average American consuming 3,868 calories every day, the US only ranks as the second-highest calorie consumer in the world. The Middle East takes the top spot, with Bahrain consuming more than 4,000 calories per day on average - ahead of the US in second.Breaking down the list of 185 countries, Ireland ranks third, consuming 3,851 calories per person, per day on average.

Investigation of frailty markers including a novel biomarker panel in emergency laparotomy: protocol of a prospective cohort study - BMC SurgeryBackground Emergency laparotomy (EmLAP) is one of the commonest emergency operations performed in the United Kingdom (approximately 30, 000 laparotomies annually). These potentially high-risk procedures can be life changing with frail patients and/ or older adults (≥ 65 years) having the poorest outcomes, including mortality. There is no gold standard of frailty assessment and no clinical chemical biomarkers existing in practice. Early detection of subclinical changes or deficits at the molecular level are essential in improving our understanding of the biology of frailty and ultimately improving patient outcomes. This study aims primarily to compare preoperative frailty markers, including a blood-based biomarker panel, in their ability to predict 30 and 90-day mortality post-EmLAP. The secondary aim is to analyse the influence of perioperative frailty on morbidity and quality of life post-EmLAP. Methods A prospective single centred observational study will be conducted on 150 patients ≥ 40 years of age that undergo EmLAP. Patients will be included according to the established NELA (National Emergency Laparotomy Audit) criteria. The variables collected include demographics, co-morbidities, polypharmacy, place of residence, indication and type of surgery (as per NELA criteria) and prognostic NELA score. Frailty will be assessed using: a blood sample for ultra-high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis; preoperative CT abdomen pelvis (sarcopenia) and Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Patients will be followed up for 90 days. Variables collected include blood samples (at post operative day 1, 7, 30 and 90), place of residence on discharge, morbidity, mortality and quality of life (EQ-5D-5 L). The frailty markers will be compared between groups of frail (CFS ≥ 4) and non-frail using statistical methods such as regression model and adjusted for appropriate confounding factors. Discussion This study hypothesises that frailty level changes follo
