The association between dietary acid load and indices of insulin resistance.

ABSTRACT: The role of diet-induced acid-base imbalance in insulin resistance (IR) and related cardiometabolic abnormalities has attracted considerable attention. This study sought to investigate the association between dietary acid load and IR indices among Iranian adults. The study included 6,531 participants, with dietary acid load estimated using a validated questionnaire which comprised 65 food frequency items. The IR indices assessed included: Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein (TG: HDL), Metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), Triglyceride Glucose-Body mass index (TyG-BMI), Triglyceride glucose (TyG), and Triglyceride glucose-waist circumference (TyG-WC). The results revealed that all IR indices were significantly higher in participants positioned in the top tertiles of dietary
