Studies of weight-control diets that are high in protein or low glycemic index have reached varied conclusions, probably owing to the fact studies had insufficient power.We enrolled overweight adults from eight European countries who lost at least 8% their initial body weight with a 3.3-MJ (800-kcal) low-calorie diet. Participants were randomly assigned, two-by-two factorial design, one five ad libitum prevent regain over 26-week period: low-protein and low-glycemic-index diet,...
We sought to separately examine the effects of either weight loss or diets varying in protein content and glycemic index without further changes body on cardiovascular risk factors within Diet, Obesity, Genes study (DiOGenes).DiOGenes is a pan-European controlled dietary intervention 932 overweight adults who first lost an 8-week low-calorie diet were then randomized 1 5 ad libitum for 26 weeks. The high low 4 combinations control. Weight (-11.23 kg; 95% confidence interval, -11.54 -10.92;...
The aim of this study was to examine the validity English version PREvencion con DIetaMEDiterranea (PREDIMED) 14-item Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS), a brief questionnaire assessing adherence diet (MedDiet), which used in PREDIMED trial for assessment and immediate feedback. This instrument (MEDAS) administered 96 adults with high cardiovascular risk (66% women, mean age 68.3 ± 6.0 years), recruited from general practices Bristol, UK. Participants then completed 3-day...
To describe fruit and vegetable intake of 11-year-old children in ten European countries compare it with current dietary guidelines.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of protein and glycemic index (GI) on body composition among European children in randomized, 6-month dietary intervention DiOGenes (diet, obesity, genes) family-based study. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In study, 827 (381 boys 446 girls), aged 5 to 18 years, completed baseline examinations. Families with parents who lost ≥8% their weight during an 8-week run-in low-calorie diet period were randomly assigned 1 ad libitum diets: low (LP)/low (LGI); LP/high GI...
This study evaluated the association between adherence to a traditional Mexican diet (TMexD) and obesity, diabetes CVD-related outcomes in secondary data analysis of cross-sectional National Health Nutrition Survey 2018-2019. Data from 10 180 adults were included, collected via visits randomly selected households by trained personnel. Adherence TMexD (characterised mostly plant-based foods like maize, legumes vegetables) was measured through an adapted version recently developed index, using...
Summary There is growing evidence that the glycaemic index (GI) of diet important with respect to body weight and metabolic disease risk. However, research limited by paucity GI values for commonly consumed carbohydrate‐rich foods in European countries. A new methodology has been developed consistent assignment across five databases used Diogenes intervention study. were assigned according decreasing levels confidence (1) Measured specific foods; (2) Published from published sources; (3)...
