< Regional Networks page nnedpro-iane Middle East and Central Asia regional network Current Activities The NNEdPro-IANE Middle East and Central Asia Regional Network is a collaboration of dietitians, doctors, academics, and professional associations across mainland Europe. It was formed by merging the Middle East Regional Network (launched on 17 December 2020) with the Central Asia segment of the Central South & South East Asia Regional Network in March 2023 to better align the work within those regions. And, while some regions will continue to work on individual initiatives, the overall network aims to strengthen the European nutrition workforce, promoting interactions between nutrition professionals and other health professionals. The network currently has representation in the following countries: Kazakhstan Saudi Arabia UAE (Dubai) Qatar Key Aims Facilitate the spread and scale of existing nutrition knowledge, experiences, standards, and evidence-informed interventions across the region. Support the strengthening of nutrition competence and confidence in the healthcare workforce through education and training opportunities. Facilitate the spread and scale of existing ways to empower underserved communities and diverse populations in nutrition and health.

CLINICAL TOOLKIT REFERENCES Background and Context This Clinical Toolkit was developed through a collaboration between the NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health and HEIGHTS, aiming to support and strengthen nutritional practices among healthcare professionals (HCPs). The toolkit highlights key nutrients of concern within the UK context, identified through public health data, including the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS), such as iron, vitamin D, vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B12, and iodine. Additional nutrients, including riboflavin (vitamin B2), magnesium, vitamin A, and probiotics, were included based on findings from NNEdPro’s Nutrition and Supplementation Survey. This survey explored HCPs' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to dietary supplementation. Survey insights directly informed the toolkit’s development, helping ensure it addresses practical needs and supports the evidence-based use of nutrition and supplementation in clinical care.

Nutrition, Cardiometabolic and Vascular Health Tracker Last updated on 04/05/2022 Further Info via iKANN Portal Current Highlights Building on years of expertise in the nutrition, vascular and cardiometabolic domains, NNEdPro has established a group of interdisciplinary researchers with the aim to produce cutting-edge research to support the achievement of the Global Development Goals to reduce by one-third premature mortality from chronic diseases by 2030, in particular, cardiometabolic and cardiovascular diseases. The Nutrition and cardiometabolic and vascular health evidence tracker represents a living collection of published original research and reviews which underpins research related to cardiometabolic and vascular health. The evidence is organised by thematic area based on different known pathways linking diet, cardiometabolic and vascular health. Recent Resources include Vimaleswaran KS, Zhou A, Cavadino A and Hyppönen E. Evidence for a causal association between milk intake and cardiometabolic disease outcomes using a two-sample Mendelian Randomization analysis in up to 1,904,220 individuals . International Journal of Obesity, 2021. Recent BMJ Nutrition Articles include Huang M, Lo K, Li J, Allison M, Wu WC and Liu S. Pasta meal intake in relation to risks of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women: findings from the Women’s Health Initiative .

Moreover, they found no evidence of a protective effect of healthier dietary patterns. Dietary patterns characterised by the highest intake of unhealthy foods resulted in a higher mean body mass index and waist circumference compared with low intake of unhealthy foods. Controversially, patterns characterised by a low intake of healthy foods were associated with a lower mean body mass index and waist circumference. De Magalhães Cunha, et al. 2018.(https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-nutrition/article/dietary-patterns-and-cardiometabolic-risk-factors-among-adolescents-systematic-review-and-metaanalysis/1EAF7E0A4B9F3E63653A92A903016277) Meta-analysis investigating observational studies; including cross-sectional and case-control studies, found that the ‘Healthy/Prudent’ dietary pattern, characterised by high factor loadings for fruit and vegetables, fish and whole grains, was inversely associated with risk of Metabolic syndrome. In contrast, the ‘Unhealthy/Western’ dietary pattern had a significant positive association with risk of Metabolic syndrome. Shab-Bidar, et al. 2018.(https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/public-health-nutrition/article/posteriori-dietary-patterns-and-metabolic-syndrome-in-adults-a-systematic-review-and-metaanalysis-of-observational-studies/90E714C6A32B14A0BF48C0CE0691CE5F) Another, systematic review and meta-analysis found that a ‘Healthy’ diet, characterised by a high loading of vegetables and fruit, poultry, fish, and whole grains, was associated with reduced risk of Metabolic syndrome and significantly decreased the risk in both sexes and in Eastern countries, particularly in Asia. Whereas, a ‘Meat/Western’ dietary pattern, characterised by a high loading of red meat, processed meat, animal fat, eggs and sweets, was associated with an increased risk of Metabolic syndrome, and this association persisted in stratified analysis by geographic area and study design. Fabiani et al., 2019.(https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/9/2056) Vegetarian or vegan diets A systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the association of vegan and vegetarian diets with inflammatory biomarkers, found that a vegan diet was associated with lower levels of C-reactive protein compared to omnivores. This association was less pronounced in vegetarians. In patients with impaired kidney function, the association between vegetarian nutrition and CRP was much stronger. No substantial effects were observed for all other inflammatory biomarkers. Menzel, et al., 2020.(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-78426-8) Dietary inflammatory index (DII) Another meta-analysis investigating vegan and vegetarian with cardiovascular biomarkers found that compared to controls vegans had a lower body mass index, waist circumference, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Benatar and Stewart, 2018.  (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0209086) A systematic review and meta-analysis of cross-sectional, case–control and cohort stdueis found that higher dietary inflammatory index scores were associated with higher odds of hypertension, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, insulin, HbA1c and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance values compared with lowest dietary inflammatory index categories. Farhangi et al., 2020.(https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/public-health-nutrition/article/dietary-inflammatory-index-potentially-increases-blood-pressure-and-markers-of-glucose-homeostasis-among-adults-findings-from-an-updated-systematic-review-and-metaanalysis/2BF838EAA717100585CB912B3E8CD9B9) Breakfast frequency or breakfast skipping Meta-analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies provides evidence that breakfast skipping is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and the association is partly mediated by BMI. Skipping breakfast 4–5 days a week was associated with 55% increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Ballon et al., 2019.(https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/149/1/106/5167902?login=false) Another review found that skipping breakfast increases the risk of overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity. Analysis of cross-sectional and cohort studies found a positive association between skipping breakfast and prevalence of overweight/obesity.

However, they found no evidence of a nonlinear dose–response association of coffee consumption and hypertension. Xie, et al. 2018.(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41371-017-0007-0) Moreover, a dose–response meta-analysis of prospective studies showed a non-linear relationship between coffee consumption and risk of hypertension (D'Elia et al., 2019)(https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00394-017-1591-z). Although, they found that a habitual intake of one or two cups of coffee per day, compared with non-drinking, was not associated with risk of hypertension, a significantly protective effect of coffee consumption was found starting from the consumption of three cups of coffee per day, and was confirmed for greater consumption. D'Elia et al., 2019.(https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00394-017-1591-z) Meta-analysis of prospective studies found that the relative risk of developing type 2 diabetes was 0.71 for the highest category of coffee consumption vs the lowest category. The risk of type 2 diabetes decreased by 6% for each cup-per-day increase in coffee consumption. These results were similar for caffeinated coffee consumption and decaffeinated coffee consumption. Carlström, and Larsson, 2018.(https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/article/76/6/395/4954186?login=false)  Caffeine A systematic review of observational studies found a significant influence of recent caffeine intake on cardiac perfusion measurements during adenosine and dipyridamole induced hyperemia in healthy subjects or patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Van Dijk, et al. 2018 .(https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/10/8/1083) Alcohol intake Meta-analysis of cohort studies found an association between average alcohol consumption of 1 to 2 drinks per day and risk of hypertension with men showing an increased risk, whereas women showed no difference in risk compared with abstainers. Additionally, alcohol intake beyond 2 drinks per day was associated with increased incidence of hypertension in both men and women. Roerecke, et al. 2018 (https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.117.008202) Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies and case-control studies found that among Asian men, there was a significantly elevated risk of hypertension observed even in the low alcohol dose group in comparison with the group with no alcohol consumption, and the risk increased in a dose-dependent manner. Among Western men, a similar dose-response relationship was noted in general, but a significantly elevated risk was evident only in the high-dose group. Jung et al. 2020.(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7373951/) Dairy foods A systematic review and a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies and cross-sectional studies found an inverse relationship between specific types of dairy food consumption and incidence or prevalence of the Metabolic syndrome. Total dairy food consumption was associated with lower risk of Metabolic syndrome components, including hyperglycaemia, elevated blood pressure, hypertriacylglycerolaemia and low HDL- cholesterol. Dose–response analysis found a one-serving increment of total dairy food consumption was associated with a 9% lower risk of the Metabolic syndrome. Additionally, a one-serving increment per day of milk and yogurt consumption was related to a 13 and 18% lower risk of the Metabolic syndrome, respectively. A one-serving per day increment of milk was related to a 12 % lower risk of abdominal obesity, and a one-serving per day increment of yogurt was associated with a 16 % lower risk of hyperglycaemia. Lee, et al. 2018 .(https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-nutrition/article/dairy-food-consumption-is-associated-with-a-lower-risk-of-the-metabolic-syndrome-and-its-components-a-systematic-review-and-metaanalysis/D18A251A57F4651558BCD93ECEAFEC04) Red meat, poultry, and egg consumption Meta-analysis of the prospective cohort studies showed a positive association between red meat consumption and the risk of hypertension. Subgroup analysis showed that both processed and unprocessed red meat were associated with a higher risk of hypertension. Moreover, poultry consumption was also associated with a higher risk of hypertension. Additionally, egg consumption was associated with a lower risk of hypertension. Zhang, and Zhang, 2018.(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41371-018-0068-8) Another, meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies found that moderate egg consumption was associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes among US studies, but not among European or Asian studies. Drouin-Chartier etal., 2020.(https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/112/3/619/5846055?login=false) Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and food sources of fructose-containing sugars A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies found that sugar‐sweetened beverages were associated with an increased incidence of hypertension, whereas fruit and yogurt showed protective associations with incident hypertension throughout the dose range. In addition, one hundred percent fruit juice showed a protective association only at moderate doses (U-shaped association). Moreover, no association was found between dairy desserts, fruit drinks or sweet snacks with hypertension. Liu et al., 2019.(https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.118.010977) This was supported by another meta-analysis, which found high consumption of sugar‐sweetened beverages was associated with an increase in systolic blood pressure in children and adolescents. However, there was no significant difference in diastolic blood pressure. Additionally, high sugar‐sweetened beverages consumers were more likely to develop hypertension compared with low sugar‐sweetened beverages consumers. Farhangi, et al. 2020.(https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12967-020-02511-9) Another Meta-analysis found an adverse association of sugar-sweetened beverages with the incident of metabolic syndrome, however this association did not extend to other major food sources of fructose-containing sugars; yogurt, fruit, 100% fruit juice, and mixed fruit juice all had a protective association with incident metabolic syndrome. Semnani-Azad et al., 2020.(https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2768092) Legume consumption (Legumes and soy products) Meta-analysis of cross-sectional, cohort and case–control studies found legume consumption was not associated with the odds of Metabolic Syndrome.

BMJ. 2020.(https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m688) Reviews Fibre intake Meta-analysis of observational studies found the highest versus lowest fibre intake was associated with a reduced risk of Metabolic syndrome, with moderate heterogeneity across studies. The benefit of fibre intake was significant among cross-sectional studies but not among cohort studies. Dose–response analysis found a curvilinear relationship between fibre consumption and prevalence of Metabolic syndrome. Wei, et al. 2018.(https://www.clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-5614(17)31392-4/fulltext) A systematic review of cohort studies found improvements in body weight, blood lipids, blood pressure, glycaemia and other outcomes, with higher intakes of dietary fibre and high-fibre foods. However, large differences between studies precluded formal synthesis and meta-analysis of the data. Reynolds, et al. 2020.(https://dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/dom.14176) Carbohydrate intake The highest versus the lowest carbohydrate intake values were associated with increased risk of Metabolic syndrome. Dose-response analysis found a linear association between carbohydrate consumption and Metabolic syndrome risk. Liu et al., 2019.(https://www.nmcd-journal.com/article/S0939-4753(19)30341-2/fulltext) Dietary Fat intake A systematic review found that the data suggested that replacing carbohydrates with any fat, but particularly polyunsaturated fat, will lower triglycerides, increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lower blood pressure, but have no effects on fasting glucose in normal volunteers or insulin sensitivity. Additionally, monounsaturated fat was preferable to polyunsaturated fat for fasting insulin and glucose-lowering. The addition of 3–4 g of omega-3 will lower triglycerides and blood pressure and reduce the proportion of subjects with metabolic syndrome. Moreover, cohort studies suggested that dairy fat was related to a lower incidence of metabolic syndrome. Clifton, 2019.(https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/11/7/1438/htm) A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of prospective observational studies found no association between total fat intake and the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Dose–response curves provided insights for significant associations between specific fats and fatty acids with type 2 diabetes. In particular, a high intake of vegetable fat was inversely associated with type 2 diabetes incidence. Neuenschwander et al., 2020.(https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1003347) Meta-analysis of case-control, cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies found that higher omega-3 polyunsaturated fat levels in diets or blood were associated with a reduction in the risk of Metabolic syndrome. An inverse association was found among studies with Asian populations, but not among those with American/European populations. No association was found between circulating/dietary omega-6 polyunsaturated fats and Metabolic syndrome.

Furthermore, subgroup analysis suggested that hypovitaminosis D was associated with an 0.85-fold decrease in the odds of having a higher carotid intima-media thickness. Additionally, the pooled analysis also indicated that the serum vitamin D level was a protective factor against increased carotid plaque. Chen, et al. 2018 (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jum.14494) In both diabetic and non-diabetic subjects, meta-analyses found a significant inverse relationship of vitamin D status with glycemic level (Rafiq and Jeppesen, 2018)(https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/10/1/59) and an overall inverse relationship between serum vitamin D status and body mass index. Rafiq and Jeppesen, 2018.(https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/10/1/59) Calcium intake Higher dietary calcium intake, independent of adiposity and intake of other blood pressure-related minerals, is slightly associated with a lower risk of developing hypertension. Jayedi, and Zargar, 2019.(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41430-018-0275-y) Vitamin B12, vitamin B6, folate and homocysteine A systematic review did not establish an inverse association (or J-curve) between serum or plasma B12 concentrations and body mass index. However, based on the results of the meta-regression, in an exploratory sub-network meta-analysis, showed lower levels of B12 in people with higher body mass indices. Wiebe, et al. 2018 (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/obr.12724) Meta-analysis of Prospective cohort studies found a higher intake of folate and vitamin B6, but not vitamin B12, was associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease in the general population.

They found that body sodium level increases with the number of metabolic syndrome components. Also, participants with highest dietary/urinary or serum sodium levels had 37% higher chance of developing metabolic syndrome when compared with participants with the lowest sodium levels. Soltani et al., 2019.(https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10408398.2017.1363710?journalCode=bfsn20) Serum vitamin C Meta-analysis of observational articles including cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies found that individuals with hypertension had lower levels of serum vitamin C when compared with normotensive individuals. Additionally, serum vitamin C was inversely associated with both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.

2nd round Kids Kitchen Club Challenge 2024 Sustainable Nutrition NNEdPro in its mission to bring nutrition to children, is working towards creating awareness among kids aged 4-15 about the food they consume and its importance. NNEdPro has chosen to focus on "Sustainable Nutrition" for this year, building on the success of previous years, and welcomes all 4 to 15-year-olds to take part in this creative art challenge by submitting a piece of work based on the appropriate subtopics for their age group. We encourage all primary and secondary schools to utilise the downloadable interactive worksheet curated by us to conduct the competition in their own institutions. As this year marks the 15th Anniversary of NNEdPro, the participants will be incorporating their ideas into the number 15 template provided as part of the worksheet, which also contains a crossword puzzle in order to familiarise themselves with some of the key sustainable nutrition terms. We hope to see a lot of enthusiastic children taking their first step towards learning about sustainable nutrition. Co mpetition time line Submission Deadline – 15th March 2024 Judging Panel – 22nd March 2024 Winners Announcement – 30th March 2024 INSTRUCTIONS For this year we have divided the children into 3 age groups for participation. Each age group has a separate topic and some guiding questions to get them thinking about the various subtopics that they could potentially explore in their artwork. There is a downloadable worksheet that contains the number 15 template on one side and an interactive crossword puzzle based on some sustainable nutrition terms on the other side. Apart from this, there is an information sheet for the teachers/parents/caregivers in order to better equip them in initiating this particular competition and further facilitate continuous nutritional education for children. 4-6 years Distribute a printed sheet of recycled paper with the number 15 Kids will be asked to draw their favourite and healthy foods inside the number 15 Guiding questions What is your favourite fruit or veggie? Why do you like that fruit or veggie? Is it healthy? Is it local? 7-10 years Distribute a printed sheet of recycled paper with the number 15 or to draw an artwork in the form of number 15 Kids will be asked to draw their favourite dish and then analyse its impact on their health Guiding Questions What is your favourite dish? Can you illustrate the components of the dish? Is it healthy? Where are the components produced? What about the content of salt and sugar? 11-15 years Make a collage of the impact of what you eat on planetary health Draw a comic/story based on this concept Guiding Questions Would you consider what you eat as being healthy and nutritious? What are your thoughts on food waste and its impact on the environment? What are the ultra-processed foods that you consume? Please submit your work to info@nnedpro.org.uk with the subject line "Kids Kitchen Club Challenge 2024". Extra activity (optional) Grow beans or seeds on cotton balls Decorate your jar Take pictures every day We will create a digital collage with all the pictures!

NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health is an award-winning interdisciplinary think-tank, building upon over a decade of nutrition education, research and innovation. NNEdPro & Jampolis Family Nutrition and Education Research Fund The NNEdPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health is an independent and international think tank that believes everyone has the right to good nutrition. We develop adaptable and scalable educational models for strengthening nutrition capacity in food and health systems. Our education programme trains frontline healthcare professionals around the globe. We also provide direct support to vulnerable families and communities on the ground. We convene regional networks across six continents and collaborate with partners such as the World Health Organization and the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization. As a collective, we influence whole food and health systems across the globe: from production to consumption and beyond into healthcare. We deliver training to food and health systems actors, including healthcare professionals worldwide, and all of our work is underpinned by ground-breaking academic and action research. One of our key Initiatives, the Mobile Teaching Kitchen, empowers communities by sharing knowledge and skills through the medium of nutrition education. It aims to enhance health and wellbeing for women, children and families across communities, especially working within marginalised communities. After the success of the initiative in India and Mexico, NNEdPro and the MTK initiative received the 2022 Program Impact Award from the Society of Nutrition Education and Behavior in the USA and with generous support from the Jampolis Family we will be extending our work to address food and nutrition insecurity in the United States, in line with the 2022 White House initiative. We hope to build on the NNEdPro and Jampolis Family Nutrition Education and Research Fund by raising further and essential donor support to address malnutrition in all of its forms worldwide via our 10 regional networks and in line with the findings of multilateral organisations on the global needs assessment map on food and nutrition security.

Support us Donate now the roundtable of patrons how the roundtable works The Roundtable of Patrons is a funding structure that allows organisations and stakeholders to support multiple initiatives across NNEdPro’s key areas of impact. 1. Patronage Contribution and Selection of Initiatives Each Patron contributes at their chosen tier level. Patrons at higher tiers can allocate their funding across multiple initiatives. For example, a Diamond Patron can choose up to 5 initiatives to support. A Ruby Patron can support 1-2 initiatives of their choice. Each patron directs their funding to specific areas, ensuring a targeted impact while benefiting from associated recognition and engagement opportunities. 2. The Summit vs. The Roundtable of Patrons The Summit has its own dedicated sponsorship model, while the Roundtable offers a flexible, long-term funding opportunity across multiple programmes. The Summit Supportership Packages (Platinum, Gold, Silver) are exclusive to the Summit. Organisations can support the Summit only through these packages, receiving event-specific benefits such as branding, speaking opportunities, and VIP access. The Roundtable of Patrons is a wider, year-round commitment that funds multiple initiatives, including the Summit if chosen, but it is not Summit-specific. 3. Can a Patron Support Both? Yes! An organisation can: Become a Summit Supporter through Platinum , Gold , or Silver sponsorship. Join the Roundtable of Patrons at Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, etc. to support broader initiatives. Do both—support the Summit separately while also funding additional initiatives via the Roundtable. tiers of patronage Each tier of patronage corresponds to a level of financial commitment and support, allowing stakeholders to engage at different levels. Since the Summit has its own supportership system, this patronage structure serves as a higher-level, year-round commitment that funds one or more initiatives. The tiers are as follows: Diamond Patron (Top Tier) – Supports multiple initiatives (e.g., 4-5 initiatives or major sponsorship of a flagship initiative). Emerald Patron – Supports 2-3 initiatives. Ruby Patron – Supports 1-2 initiatives. Sapphire Patron – Funds a specific project or a focused area within an initiative. Opal Patron (Entry-Level) – Provides general or unrestricted support. initiative alignment Each initiative falls within a grouping to help guide patrons towards supporting causes that align with their mission. Instead of treating initiatives as separate, they are clustered based on common themes, making it easier for organisations to choose an area that resonates with their priorities. Groupings include: Advancing Global Nutrition & Health Summit (flagship initiative) MTK International NNEdPro IANE Cutting-Edge Science & Research Data Science Human Intervention Studies BMJ Nutrition Education, Literacy & Capacity Building Summer School Literacy Libraries Leadership Training Sustainability & Future Innovations Sustainability Awards Symposium Each Patron Tier funds one or more initiatives within a grouping, ensuring that patrons can direct their contributions towards areas that reflect their values while maintaining flexibility in their impact. recognition & benefits Each tier of patronage comes with exclusive benefits to recognise and reward supporters for their contributions. Diamond Patron Named as a "Principal Patron" on all funded initiatives. Receives VIP invitations to the Summit and networking events. Gains priority branding on the website, reports, and social media. Has the opportunity to provide thought leadership through a strategic advisory role. Emerald Patron Recognised as a "Lead Patron" for selected initiatives. Invited to high-level roundtable discussions. Featured in patron newsletters and research reports. Ruby Patron Recognised as a "Major Patron" . Featured on initiative-specific promotional materials. Receives complimentary passes to select events. Sapphire Patron Recognised as a "Key Patron" . Invited to special donor updates and briefings. Opal Patron Acknowledged on the website and in select publications as a “Supporting Patron” . Receives regular impact updates.
