Most data regarding the association between glycemic index and cardiovascular disease come from high-income Western populations, with little information non-Western countries low or middle incomes. To fill this gap, are needed a large, geographically diverse population.

Abstract Nutritional assessment by diet analysis is a two-stepped process consisting of evaluation food consumption, and conversion into nutrient intake using composition database, which lists the mean nutritional values for given portion. Most reports in literature focus on minimizing errors estimation consumption but selection specific table used also source errors. We are conducting large prospective study internationally need to compare diet, assessed frequency questionnaires, comparable...
