Abstract Background: Evidence from trials about benefits and risks of low glycemic index diets to loss weight and modify cardiovascular risk factors is preliminary. It is unclear to health benefits of choosing a suitable food source and limiting fat. The aim of this study was to prospectively assess the effect of low glycemic index and fat restriction diet on weight control and cardiovascular risk factors of overweight/obesity individuals in Southwest China.Methods: Overweight/obese men (n=101) and women (n =153) were received low glycemic index with fat restriction diet intervention, dietary advice consistent with dietary portfolio principles between February and July in 2019. Specific dietary intervention lasted 3 months. Changes in weight, body composition, and blood chemistry profile were obtained.Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, the physical indicators were significantly different at baseline and after 3-momth intervention. All detected indexes were not significantly different between the male and female individuals. Compared with baseline before intervention, participants showed varying degrees of improvement in body mass index, BMI, waist circumference, percentage of body fat, visceral fat, cholesterol and triglycerides.Conclusions: For overweight/obesity individuals in Southwest China, regardless of the gender, low glycemic index and fat restriction diet might be helpful to control weight and cardiovascular risk.Trial registration: CHiCTR, ChiCTR1900020934, Registered 22 January 2019, http://www.chictr.org.cn/edit.aspx?pid=35414&htm=4.

Background: Pasta is a refined carbohydrate with a low glycemic index. Whether pasta shares the metabolic advantages of other low glycemic index foods has not really been investigated. The aim of this study is to document, in people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, the connected dietary habits, and the association with glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: We studied 2562 participants. The dietary habits were assessed with the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) questionnaire. Sex-specific quartiles of pasta consumption were created in order to explore the study aims. Results: A higher pasta consumption was associated with a lower intake of proteins, total and saturated fat, cholesterol, added sugar, and fiber. Glucose control, body mass index, prevalence of obesity, and visceral obesity were not significantly different across the quartiles of pasta intake. No relation was found with LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, but there was an inverse relation with HDL-cholesterol. Systolic blood pressure increased with pasta consumption; but this relation was not confirmed after correction for confounders. Conclusions: In people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, within the limits recommended for total carbohydrates intake, is not associated with worsening of glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract Background: Chronic inflammation is associated with obesity, dyslipidemia, and different types of malignancies that may play a complex role in the risk of breast cancer (BC) recurrence and therapy related side effects. The purpose of this review was to determine the effects of lifestyle interventions on mediators of inflammation (C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)) and other therapy related adverse events in postmenopausal BCS with cardiovascular related risk factors. Methods: A systematic search for relevant articles was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis criteria using available databases (PubMed, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, OpenGrey, Google Scholar and CENTRAL). Results: Twelve eligible randomized controlled trials (RCT) met the inclusion criteria. The mean ages of postmenopausal BC women ranged from 49 to 56 years. The meta-regression revealed that there was moderate evidence that MSE decreased the mean difference (MD) of inflammatory markers in BCS, with CVD risk factors (MD: 0.31; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.57, P=0.02; heterogeneity: Tau² = 0. 12; Chi² = 106.30, df = 19, I² = 0. 50.4%). Conclusion: There is a moderate level of evidence on the effects of MSE on mediators of inflammation in postmenopausal BCS with cardiovascular risk factors. A number of shared risk factors between postmenopausal status and CVD should be considered, while treating postmenopausal BCS.
