Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and metabolic syndrome (MS) are recognized as public health problems which are related to overweight and cardiometabolic factors. The aim of this study was to develop a model to predict MS in people with CKD.
Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of patients from a reference center in São Luís, MA, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- Diet plays a significant role as a risk factor for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but studies on the link between women's diet and glucose tolerance during pregnancy are limited.
- This study aimed to explore how previous dietary habits affect the results of glucose tolerance tests (GTT) in women with GDM, focusing on the potential inverse relationship between antioxidant micronutrient intake and abnormal GTT results.
- Findings indicated that women with only one abnormal GTT value had higher fiber, vitamin D, and vitamin C intake compared to those with two or more abnormal values, suggesting a connection between these nutrients and better glucose tolerance.
