“…Several dietary patterns assessed by the scoring system revealed a significant association with CVD risk factors. Adherence to the Nordic diet was associated with a reduction of LDL levels, blood pressure and the prevalence of obesity among 339 Iranian diabetic patients . Moreover, a study showed that the highest adherence to dietary quality indices such as the Mediterranean diet adherence score and the Prime diet quality score was associated with an improvement of lipid profiles and anthropometric measures among subjects who were overweight, obese and had metabolic syndrome .…”

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. 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−1 versus 171.30 ± 5.79 mg dL−1, P = 0.021). There was no significant association between DQI‐I, HEI and other CVD risk factors. CONCLUSION There was no association between diet quality indices and CVD risk factors among diabetic patients. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…The NFI, less commonly used, is based on frequently consumed foods in the Nordic countries (the Scandinavian region), such as whole grains, fruits, low-fat dairy products, fatty fish such as salmon, and cabbage and root vegetables, with a focus on the intake of organic foods and healthy fat ( 100 ). The number of components included in the score range between 6 and 9 ( 48 , 71 ). The Nordic scoring system is relative and is based on distribution of intake above and below median consumption, with equal weights assigned to each category, and without applying a cutoff value for maximum intake.…”

Healthy dietary habits are the cornerstone of cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. Numerous researchers have developed diet quality indices to help evaluate and compare diet quality across and within various populations. The availability of these new indices raises questions regarding the best selection relevant to a given population. In this perspective, we critically evaluate a priori–defined dietary indices commonly applied in epidemiological studies of CVD risk and mortality. A systematic literature search identified 59 observational studies that applied a priori–defined diet quality indices to CVD risk factors and/or CVD incidence and/or CVD mortality. Among 31 different indices, these scores were categorized as follows: 1) those based on country-specific dietary patterns, 2) those adapted from distinct dietary guidelines, and 3) novel scores specific to key diet-related factors associated with CVD risk. The strengths and limitations of these indices are described according to index components, calculation methods, and the application of these indices to different population groups. Also, the importance of identifying methodological challenges faced by researchers when applying an index are considered, such as selection and weighting of food groups within a score, since food groups are not necessarily equivalent in their associations with CVD. The lack of absolute cutoff values, emphasis on increasing healthy food without limiting unhealthy food intake, and absence of validation of scores with biomarkers or other objective diet assessment methods further complicate decisions regarding the best indices to use. Future research should address these limitations, consider cross-cultural and other differences between population groups, and identify translational challenges inherent in attempting to apply a relevant diet quality index for use in CVD prevention at a population level.

“…Some studies have shown a signi cant decrease of hs-CRP [33,58], even after adjusting for weight loss [33]. In Fritzen et al research hs-CRP level decreased signi cantly after 26 weeks of Nordic diet intervention just in women group (39). It is noteworthy that our results cannot conclude to anti-in ammatory aspects of Nordic diet, since other in ammatory markers were not included in our study and there are not enough investigations about this issue yet.…”

“…In a cross-sectional study by Daneshzad et al ndings indicated a decrease in waist circumference in the highest adherence of modi ed Nordic diet compared to lowest level, but it was insigni cant. They also detected that the odds of higher BMI was signi cantly lower in the highest tertile of adherence in comparison to the lowest one [39]. The concomitant reduction in weight, BMI and waist circumference in Darwiche et al study indicate that anthropometric improvement can be induced by Nordic diet [36].…”

Objective: Obesity as a worldwide phenomenon is a multifactorial condition. Healthy diets have effect on obesity related factors like resting metabolic rate (RMR). In present study, we investigate association between adherence to modified Nordic diet and RMR among overweight and obese participants.Methods: We enrolled 404 overweight and obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) women aged 18-48 years in this cross-sectional study. For each participant anthropometrics measurements, biochemical tests and blood pressure were evaluated. RMR was measured by indirect calorimetry. RMR/kg was also measured. Modified Nordic diet score was measured using a validated 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).Results: Among all participants, the mean and standard deviation (SD) for age and body mass index (BMI) were 36.67 years (SD=9.10) and 31.26 kg/m2 (SD=4.29). There was a significant association between RMR/kg status and age, body mass index (BMI), RMR (P<0.001), respiratory quotient (RQ), fat percentage (P= 0.01), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P= 0.03), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (P= 0.04), after adjustment for age, BMI, energy intake and physical activity. Participants with the highest adherence to modified Nordic diet had lower odds of hypometabolic status after adjusting for confounders and it was significant (odds ratio (OR) = 3.15, 95% CI= 0.97-10.15, P=0.05).Conclusions: The present results indicate that adherence to modified Nordic diet is associated with lower odds of hypometabolic status in overweight and obese women. However more studies are needed to confirm our findings.Trial registration: This article was not a trial research.
