The association between dietary diversity score and food insecurity and novel cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

An efficient approach to monitor the risks associated with chronic diseases is to use a dietary diversity score (DDS). To our knowledge, there has been no study conducted on the correlation between DDS and cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with diabetes. Hence, the objective of this study is to ascertain the correlation between these traits.

Methods

In this cross-sectional investigation, 490 individuals with type 2 diabetes were included. The patients' food consumption was assessed using a 168-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and a dietary diversity score (DDS) was computed. Traditional CVD risk variables were used to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors, including Castelli risk index 1 and 2 (CRI-I and II), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lipi
