Sweetened beverage consumption and risk of coronary heart disease in women. (2009, background): “This score takes into account the intake of 10 dietary components and has been shown to robustly predict risk of CHD (16, 30).”
Adherence to a DASH-style diet and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke in women. (2008, result): “Data from our cohort also showed that dietary patterns high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains were associated with lower CRP levels.(25,26) In our cross-sectional analyses, higher DASH score was associated with lower plasma levels of CRP and IL-6.”
Dietary factors and low-grade inflammation in relation to overweight and obesity (2011, neutral): “DQI-R did not correlate with any of the inflammatory markers when potential confounders were taken into consideration in the regression models((285)).”
A critical review of predefined diet quality scores (2007, background): “The DQI-R was shown to correlate significantly with several plasma biomarkers representing micronutrient intake (Newby et al. 2003) but not with markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction (Fung et al. 2005).”
Higher diet quality is associated with decreased risk of all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality among older adults. (2014, methodology): “MediterraneanDiet (aMED) score (6), and theDietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score (7)—and their associations with all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality among older adults in the United States using the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study as the data source.”
Association of Mediterranean diet with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2014, background): “Higher adherence to MeDi has been shown to be associated with low level of C-reactive protein and lower interleukin levels [33–35].”
American Cancer Society Guideline for Diet and Physical Activity for cancer prevention. (2020, neutral): “The dietary patterns examined included the Mediterranean Diet, 58,59 the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, 60,61 the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Healthy Eating Index, 62 and the Harvard Alternate Healthy Eating Index.”
The Pathophysiology of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (2018, background): “Saturated fats directly interfere with insulin signaling [41], and they can also induce inflammation and endothelial dysfunction—both pathogenic factors in GDM [42].”
