Alternative health eating index and the Dietary Guidelines from American Diabetes Association both may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes patients

Abstract

The ADA-recommended dietary pattern and a higher AHEI-2010 score might both exhibit reduced risk factors of CVD in T2DM patients.

The Obesity–Impulsivity Axis: Potential Metabolic Interventions in Chronic Psychiatric Patients

“…The Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010 (AHEI-2010) is a measure of diet quality. A high AHEI score was documented to lower the risk of chronic disease, including T2DM and cardiovascular disease and to reverse the metabolic syndrome ( 153 – 155 ). High AHEI score diets have demonstrated benefits in the affective and cognitive disorders, but they were not studied in schizophrenia or PTD-induced obesity ( 156 , 157 ).…”

Better‐quality diet is associated with lower odds of severe periodontitis in US Hispanics/Latinos

“…The alternative healthy eating index (AHEI) was created in 2002 as a measure of diet quality based on foods and nutrients that were shown to be predictive of chronic disease risk. An updated version of the measure was developed in 2010, the AHEI‐2010 (Chiuve et al., ), which has shown to be useful in predicting risks for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Varraso et al., ), cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes (Wu, Huang, Lei, & Yang, ). However, the AHEI‐2010 has not, to our knowledge, been used to predict oral diseases.…”

The effect of pre‐pregnancy lifestyle counselling on food intakes and association between food intakes and gestational diabetes in high‐risk women: results from a randomised controlled trial

“…Diabetes is characterised by an increase in cardiovascular risk, and diet is considered to be a key modifier of risk. Although controversial, it appears that closer adherence to dietary guidelines can reduce cardiovascular risk (17) .…”
