Association of Dietary Insulin Index and Dietary Insulin Load With Metabolic Health Status in Iranian Overweight and Obese Adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited data are available on the association of dietary insulin load (DIL) and dietary insulin index (DII) with health status in pediatrics. We aimed to investigate the relationship of DIL and DII with metabolic health status in Iranian overweight/obese adolescents.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, using a multistage cluster random-sampling method, 203 overweight/obese adolescents (aged 12 to <18 years) were included. A validated 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used for a dietary intake assessment. Glycemic and lipid profile, blood pressure (BP), and anthropometric indices were measured. Participants were categorized as metabolically healthy obese (MHO) or metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) using the two methods of the International Diabete
