It was previously reported that dietary intake is an important trigger for systemic inflammation and one of the lifestyle factors development cardiovascular diseases. The aim this study to evaluate association between Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) score body weight, blood pressure, lipid profile leptin in Indonesian population. This a cross-sectional conducted 503 adults. DII calculated based on data 30 nutrients food components. Anthropometric profile, were measured. these variables with...

Over the past few decades, Malaysia has been experiencing an increased prevalence of overweight and obesity that threatens health Malaysians. Poor dietary intake is one major contributors to development many non-communicable diseases. The intakes adults in were assessed determine association between variables body mass index (BMI) waist circumference (WC) measurements. This study examined whether achieved recommended nutritional guidelines compared both sexes.The height, weight, WC...

Snack consumption contributes significantly to daily energy and nutrient intake. Low glycaemic index (GI) load (GL) snacks help modulate postprandial glucose (PPG) rise in prediabetes diabetes. Masala Vadai (MS) Medu (MD) are traditional Indian made from pulses, where their GI GL values the effect on PPG remain unexplored. In this randomised cross-over trial, healthy adults (n=13, 19-30 years old, 22.3±2.3 kg/m2) consumed either MS, MD, or solution as reference food (RF) containing 12.5g of...

Unregulated university cafeterias may be serving food and beverages high in fat or sugar. Traffic light labelling (TLL) has been able to guide students making healthier choices. Therefore, the aim of this study was assess healthiness level served by profiling it against TLL calorie density evaluate student’s perception towards implementation TLL. This pilot observational conducted three universities; two public one private institution within Klang Valley. A total 166 foods were analysed for...
