Dietary phytochemical index and its relationship with diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy: a case-control study.

Phytochemicals are compounds found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes that are non-nutritive but have bioactive properties. A high intake of these compounds is essential for optimal health and disease prevention. No study has investigated the association between Dietary Phytochemical Index (DPI) and polyneuropathy in patients with diabetes.

Dietary carbohydrate quality index and cardio-metabolic risk factors.

Improving the quality of diet is known as one of the practical ways to reduce cardio-metabolic risk factors (CMRFs). The carbohydrate quality index (CQI) is a relatively new index to evaluate diet quality. It is calculated based on the ratio of solid carbohydrates to total carbohydrates, dietary fibre intake, glycemic index and the ratio of whole grains to total grains.

Waist to height ratio as a simple tool for predicting mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The association of central obesity with higher rates of mortality is not well studied. This study evaluates the association between waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), as a measure of central obesity, with mortality.

Methods: Documents were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases until May 2022.

Association of normal weight obesity phenotype with inflammatory markers: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Individuals with normal weight could suffer from obesity based on their body fat percentage (also known as normal weight obesity (NWO)), thus being at risk of significant morbidity and mortality compared to the general population. It seems that inflammatory pathways and chronic inflammation are significant contributors to the pathogenicity of NWO. This study aimed to assess and pool the association of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines with NWO.

Association of dietary acid-base load and diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A case-control study.

Objectives: The higher acid-forming potential of a diet, could be associated with diabetes. No study has been done to investigate the association between Dietary Acid Load (DAL) and polyneuropathy in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to examine the linkage between the DAL and Diabetic Sensory-motor Polyneuropathy (DSPN) in a case-control study.

Association between Dietary Inflammatory Index Scores and Diabetes Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Case-Control Study.

Background: Diabetes sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) is a common complication of diabetes. Diet has been previously related to DSPN. However, no studies have investigated the relationship between the inflammatory potential of the whole diet and DSPN.
