Abstract
- Background: Diabetes is a common chronic disease with many complications and is associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The present study aimed to investigate the association of diet quality indices and CVD risk factors among diabetic women. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 230 Tehrani women with type 2 diabetes. A validated and reliable food frequency questionnaire was completed to assess the dietary intake. Diet quality indices were considered with respect to adherence to the Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010) and Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I). Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and biochemical tests were assessed. CVD risk factors were evaluated according to the adult treatment panel III.<br />Results: Patients who were in the top tertile of the DQI consumed less fat, saturated fatty acids and sodium, as well as more protein, fiber, iron and calcium (P < 0.05). Participants who were in the top tertile of diet quality indices consumed less processed and organ meat and more fruits, and vegetables. Patients in the highest tertile of HEI had lower fasting blood sugar levels (148.92 ± 6.05 mg dL <superscript>-1</superscript> versus 171.30 ± 5.79 mg dL <superscript>-1</superscript> , P = 0.021). There was no significant association between DQI-I, HEI and other CVD risk factors.<br />Conclusion: There was no association between diet quality indices and CVD risk factors among diabetic patients. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.<br /> (© 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.)
