Effect of weight change on the association between overall and source of carbohydrate intake and risk of metabolic syndrome: Tehran lipid and glucose study.

Background: In this prospective cohort study, we aimed to evaluate the association between dietary carbohydrates, whole grains, refined grains, and simple sugar with the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and assess the effect of weight change on these associations.

Methods: This study was conducted within the framework of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). We included 1915 healthy participants with complete demographic, anthropometric and dietary measurements, among whom 591 developed MetS during 8.

Tools to Measure Health Literacy among Adult Hispanic Populations with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Review of the Literature.

Health literacy (HL) is associated with short- and long-term health outcomes, and this is particularly relevant in Hispanics, who are disproportionally affected by lower HL. Hispanics have become the largest minority population in the United States. Also, Hispanics experience higher burdens of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than non-Hispanic whites.

Fruit, Vegetable, and Physical Activity Guideline Adherence and Metabolic Syndrome in El Banco por Salud.

Adherence to dietary and physical activity recommendations has been associated with reductions in morbidity and mortality. The association between baseline adherence to fruit, vegetable, and physical activity guidelines and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in El Banco por Salud (El Banco) was examined. El Banco is a wellness biobank for Latino individuals affiliated with partnered Federally Qualified Health Centers in southern Arizona.

Socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors modifies the association between snack foods intake and incidence of metabolic syndrome.

Background: Intake of snack foods has been previously associated with an elevated risk of chronic disease; however, studies on snack foods and metabolic syndrome (MetS) while considering the modifying effect of socioeconomic status (SES) and lifestyle factors on this association are lacking. We aimed to investigate the association between snack foods intake and the MetS risk, and the mediatory effects of SES and lifestyle factors on the forenamed association among adults who participated in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (2006-2018).

Methods: This is a prospective study of 1915 participants (male, 40.

Trends in dietary food groups and Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score among adults: A longitudinal study from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, 2006-2017.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the secular trends of dietary food groups and diet quality among adults, overall and by sex, education, and employment status.

Methods: This study was conducted within the framework of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Demographic and anthropometric measurements were gathered using standard questionnaires.

Socioeconomic and lifestyle factors modifies the association between nut consumption and metabolic syndrome incidence.

Background & Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of nut consumption and its various types with metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk and to investigate whether lifestyle factors (physical activity and smoking status) and socioeconomic status (education and occupation) modulate the association of nut consumption and the risk of MetS.

Methods: We prospectively studied 1915 participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose study, among whom 591 were diagnosed with MetS during 8.9 years of follow-up.

TCF7L2 polymorphisms, nut consumption, and the risk of metabolic syndrome: a prospective population based study.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether two variants of the TCF7L2 (rs7903146 and rs12255372) modify the association between nut consumption and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Additionally, the modifying effect of weight change during follow-up on these associations was investigated.

Material And Methods: We prospectively studied 1423 participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose study aged 19-74 years who were followed-up for dietary assessment using a validated, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire.

Does the association between patterns of fruit and vegetables and metabolic syndrome incidence vary according to lifestyle factors and socioeconomic status?

Background And Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the identified patterns of fruits and vegetables and metabolic syndrome (MetS) incidence, and to investigate whether lifestyle factors and socioeconomic status modify the effect of the patterns on MetS risk.

Methods And Results: We prospectively studied 1915 participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, who were aged 19-74 years and followed up for dietary assessment using a validated, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. After adjustment for confounding factors, total vegetable intake was inversely related to the risk of MetS.

Weight gain, but not macronutrient intake, modifies the effect of dietary branch chain amino acids on the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate whether both weight change and the background intakes of macronutrient modulate the association between dietary branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Methods: This prospective study was conducted within the framework of theTehranLipidand Glucose Study. BCAA intakes were collected using a valid and reliable semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire.

Prospective study of total and various types of vegetables and the risk of metabolic syndrome among children and adolescents.

Background: Data available on the association between consumption of various types of vegetables and metabolic syndrome (MetS) remain inconsistent.

Aim: To investigate the association between the intake of various types of vegetables and MetS among children and adolescents and MetS.

Methods: The Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study cohort included 424 children and adolescents initially free of MetS.
