Effects of whole grain intake on glycemic control: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Although mounting evidence has suggested an inverse association between the intake of whole grains and glycemic control, findings from randomized controlled trials are still conflicting. The current study was carried out to evaluate the effect of medium/long-term whole grain intake on glycemic control in metabolic syndrome and healthy populations.

Materials and methods

A literature search was carried out to identify qualified studies up to July 2021. The effects of whole grain consumption on glycemic control were calculated using a fixed effects model. Subgroup analysis was used to study whether grouping factors were important influencing factors of heterogeneity between research results.

Results

A total of 32 randomized controlled trials with 2,060
