Higher dietary insulin index is directly associated with the odd of kidney stones.

Kidney stones or Nephrolithiasis are the most common health condition associated with the urinary system. Dietary factors stand as important factors in the occurrence and development of kidney stones. This study aimed to examine the potential link between dietary insulin index (DII) and dietary insulin load (DIL) with prevalence of kidney stones.

The interaction between dietary approaches to stop hypertension and MC4R gene variant in predicting cardiovascular risk factors.

: The genetic variants near the melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R), a key protein regulating energy balance and adiposity, have been related to obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. However, qualitative and quantitative aspects of diet may modulate the association of this polymorphism with obesity and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The aim of this study was to evaluate interactions among MC4R rs17782313, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and risk factors for CVDs.

Association between dietary energy density with mental health and sleep quality in women with overweight/obesity.

Objective: Mental health, sleep quality, and dietary intake are interlinked. Impairment of mental health and low sleep quality may contribute to obesity through the consumption of diets high in energy density. Nevertheless, it is not clear whether dietary energy density (DED) influences mental health.
