“…The pattern of nutrient intake for the Indian diet in women was closer to that expected for the early Pima Indian diet (18), with the exception of fat intake. The increased fat intake may be an indication that the Pima diet has evolved over time toward the Western diet.…”

OBJECTIVE -In short-term studies, adoption of a traditional diet is associated with reduction in metabolic abnormalities often found in populations experiencing rapid lifestyle changes. We examined the long-term effects of a self-assessed traditional or nontraditional dietary pattern on the development of type 2 diabetes in 165 nondiabetic Pima Indians.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -Dietary intake was assessed in 1988 by a quantitative food frequency method, and subjects were asked to classify their diet as "Indian," "Anglo," or "mixed." The Indian diet reflects a preference for Sonoran-style and traditional desert foods. The Anglo diet reflects a preference for non-Sonoran-style foods typical of the remaining regions of the U.S.RESULTS -In women, the intake of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, insoluble fiber, vegetable proteins, and the proportion of total calories from complex carbohydrate and vegetable proteins were significantly higher (P Ͻ 0.05) in the Indian than in the Anglo diet. The mixed diet was intermediate in of all these constituents. In men, the intake for these nutrients was also higher in the Indian than in the Anglo group, but not significantly. Diabetes developed in 36 subjects (8 men and 28 women) during 6.2 years of follow-up (range 0.9 -10.9). The crude incidence rates of diabetes were 23, 35, and 63 cases per 1,000 person-years in the Indian, mixed, and Anglo groups, respectively. After adjustment for age, sex, BMI, and total energy intake in a proportional hazards model, the risk of developing diabetes in the Anglo-diet group was 2.5 times as high (95% CI 0.9 -7.2) and the rate in the mixed-diet group was 1.3 times as high (0.6 -3.3) as in the Indian-diet group.CONCLUSIONS -This study suggests that the adoption of an Anglo diet may increase the risk of developing diabetes in Pima Indians, but it does not provide unequivocal evidence for or against this hypothesis.

“…Few studies have examined the association between calcium intake and GBD and, thus, evidence for such an association is extremely limited. While three found an inverse association between dietary calcium and GBD 24,55,67 , others found no association 53,59,61,63 . An inverse association has also been observed with dairy or cheese products in some 67,73,76 but not all 55,[70][71][72]83,88 studies.…”

Objective: Dietary intake has long been looked upon as a potentially modifiable risk factor for gallbladder disease (GBD), here defined as either having gallstones or having had surgery for gallstones. This paper reviews the epidemiological evidence for an association between dietary intake and GBD, focusing on six dietary factors that have received the most attention in studies in this area: energy intake, fatty acids, cholesterol, carbohydrates and fibre, calcium and alcohol. The objectives of this review are to evaluate the potential usefulness of altering the diet to prevent GBD and to consider future research in this area. Design: We reviewed all English-language epidemiological studies on diet and cholelithiasis that were cross-sectional, cohort or case-control in design and that were indexed in the Medline database from 1966 to October 1997. Results: A positive association was suggested with simple sugars and inverse associations with dietary fibre and alcohol. No convincing evidence was found for a role for energy intake or intake of fat or cholesterol. Variable means of ascertaining cases and inaccurate measurement of dietary intake may contribute to variation in results across studies. Conclusions: Some specific components of the diet that may affect GBD include simple sugars, fibre and alcohol, but whether risk for GBD can be reduced by altering intake of a specific dietary factor has not been established. Although no specific dietary recommendations can be made to reduce risk of GBD per se, a 'healthy' diet aimed at reducing risk of other diseases might be expected to reduce risk for GBD as well.

“…Although several comprehensive studies of the dietary habits of AI in the US Southwest have been reported within the last three decades, none provides a concurrent comparison of the diets of AI and NHW (Reid et al, 1971;Butte et al, 1981;Ballew et al, 2009;Sharma et al, 2009). Furthermore, lacking are published reports aimed at investigating the contribution dietary factors might make in explaining the extraordinarily high incidence of BTC in AI.…”

“…This reflects striking food choice differences and hence nutrient intake differences between groups. Low consumption of dairy products in AI populations has been previously documented historically and currently (Reid et al, 1971;Butte et al, 1981;Ballew et al, 2009;Sharma et al, 2009). Lactose intolerance has been reported to be high in AI populations and estimated to be at a 50% higher incidence by adulthood as compare to other populations (Wilt et al, 2010).…”

“…A report of nutrient intake of Navajo identified primary food sources of key nutrients: noteworthy were the findings that fat contributed about one-third of energy while fruits, vegetable and dairy products were each consumed less than once daily (Ballew et al, 2009). In a similar study of Pima Indians it was also found that fruits and vegetables did not make significant contributions to their diet and that "milk was not a favorite item" (Reid et al, 1971). Another study showed that dairy product intake among pregnant and lactating Navajo women revealing a median calcium intake of less than 60% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (Butte et al, 1981).…”
