Abstract
This cross-sectional study assessed the relationship between the dietary diversity score (DDS) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among 410 Iranian adults aged 20 to 60 years. Dietary intake was evaluated using a validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire and the DDS was calculated for each participant. The probability of having MetS (P for trend = .042) and some of its components such as abdominal adiposity (P for trend = .036), high blood pressure (P for trend = .029), and high serum triglycerides (P for trend = .038) decrease with enhancing quartile of the DDS. The increased diversity score of diets may be useful in preventing MetS and its metabolic features.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
