A balanced diet with a protein content of about 1 g/kg/day and a calcium content >500 mg/day (e.g. two servings of dairy products or equivalent) is recommended. In those with poor sunlight exposure, use of a vitamin D supplement of 400-1000 IU/day should be considered. Calcium supplements cause side effects and are of unproven value. Their use is discouraged.The impact of nutritional status at diagnosis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on survival rates was assessed in a Hispanic cohort. Children less then 16 years with newly diagnosed ALL-B from 2011 to 2019 were studied. Overweight and obesity were classified by body mass index (BMI) and Z-score according to WHO and CDC criteria. BMI, weight percentiles for age and Z-Score were assessed using the WHO Anthro (0-5 years) and AnthroPlus (5-19 years) programs. Cox model was used to estimate risk factors for relapse and death; differences between groups were assessed with Student's T test for parametric and Mann-Whitney U test for non-parametric variables. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined by the Kaplan-Meier method, calculating time, status, cumulative survival and standard error with a 95% confidence interval. Equal data distribution was estimated with the log-rank test. One-hundred and seventy-two B-ALL children were studied. The overweight-obese group had a non-significant lower DFS (CDC 54% vs. 60%, p = 0.80; WHO 57% vs. 64%, p = 0.89) and OS rate (CDC76% vs. 82%, p = 0.38; WHO65% vs. 81%, p = 0.13). An association between nutritional status determined by CDC and WHO criteria at diagnosis of B-cell ALL and survival rates was not documented.A new α-pyrone, asperpyrone (1) and two known compounds, stigmasterol (2) and 7-hydroxy-3-(2,3-dihy
