Legume consumption is inversely associated with type 2 diabetes incidence in adults: A prospective assessment from the PREDIMED study
Background & aims: Legumes, a low-energy, nutrient-dense and low glycemic index food, have shown beneficial effects on glycemic control and adiposity. As such, legumes are widely recommended in diabetic diets, even though there is little evidence that their consumption protects against type 2 diabetes. Therefore the aim of the present study was to examine the associations between consumption of total legumes and specific subtypes, and type 2 diabetes risk. We also investigated the effect of theoretically substituting legumes for other protein- or carbohydrate-rich foods. Methods: Prospective assessment of 3349 participants in the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study without ty…
Asociación entre índice tobillo-brazo y rendimiento cognitivo en participantes del estudio PREDIMED-Plus: estudio transversal
Resumen Introduccion y objetivos El indice tobillo-brazo (ITB) es un indicador de enfermedad arterial periferica (EAP). El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la asociacion entre la EAP medida con el ITB y el rendimiento cognitivo de individuos con sobrepeso u obesidad y sindrome metabolico. Metodos Estudio transversal realizado con los datos basales del estudio PREDIMED-Plus, en el que se incluyo a un total de 4.898 participantes (tras excluir a aquellos sin medicion de ITB) de entre 55 y 75 anos, con sobrepeso u obesidad y sindrome metabolico. En la visita basal se midio el ITB segun un protocolo estandarizado, asi como otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular (diabetes mellitus, dislipemi…
Dietary inflammatory index and all-cause mortality in large cohorts: The SUN and PREDIMED studies
[Background]: Inflammation is known to be related to the leading causes of death including cardiovascular disease, several types of cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression-suicide and other chronic diseases. In the context of whole dietary patterns, the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®) was developed to appraise the inflammatory potential of the diet. [Objective]: We prospectively assessed the association between DII scores and all-cause mortality in two large Spanish cohorts and valuated the consistency of findings across these two cohorts and results published based on other cohorts.
