“…To conclude, the findings of the present study emphasise the importance of high intakes of nuts and soy and fruits in the reduction of 10‐year CVD risk. The present study is consistent with previous research showing that the diet quality of many Iranians may need to be improved through nutrition education and other public health interventions, as appropriate .…”

“…Although there are some reports regarding the dietary intakes of patients with NAFLD, according to the best of our knowledge, there is no report on the quality of diet and whole diet indices among these patients. Previous studies among Iranian population showed that HEI could be a good indicator for evaluating dietary quality in this population (42, 43). Those subjects who have higher score of HEI, usually may intake higher fruit and vegetable and lower unsuitable fat.…”

BackgroundDietary intake might have important role in non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD). Although, there are some reports on dietary intake and anthropometrics measurements, few studies have focused on the markers of assessing whole diet like dietary quality indices.ObjectivesTherefore, our aim was to determine the diet quality indices and biochemical parameters among patients with NAFLD and healthy individuals.Patients and MethodsThis case-control study was performed on 100 patients with NAFLD and 100 healthy subjects who were attending to Gastrointestinal Research Center, Baqiyatallah University, Tehran, Iran during the recent years. Usual dietary intake was assessed by three dietary records (one weekend and two week days). Healthy eating index (HEI), dietary diversity score (DDS), dietary energy density (DED), mean adequacy ratio of nutrients (MAR) were assessed according to the standard methods.ResultsPatients with NAFLD had higher body mass index, weight and waist circumference compared to the healthy group (P < 0.05). Serum levels of liver enzymes, triglyceride, LDL, BUN, and uric acid were higher in patients with NAFLD (P < 0.05). Although patients with NAFLD had higher energy, carbohydrate and fat intake, their values for antioxidant vitamins, calcium and vitamin D were lower than healthy subjects (P < 0.05). HEI and MAR were higher among healthy group, and DED was lower among them. Nutrient adequacy ratio for calcium, vitamin D, and antioxidant micronutrients were lower in patients with NAFLD (P < 0.05).ConclusionsIt seems that dietary quality indices may be associated with NAFLD. Calcium, vitamin D, and antioxidant micronutrients intake might be lower among patients with NAFLD based on this case-control study. Further prospective studies should be conducted in this regard.

“…To the best of our knowledge, few studies have evaluated the association of the DQI‐I and HEI‐2010 separately with CVD risk factors in the Iranian population . No studies exist concerning the association of the DQI‐I and HEI‐2010 with CVD risk factors among diabetic patients.…”

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
