A study found that a diet following the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) may be effective to limit insulin resistance in women, but the benefits did not occur in men, according to the results of a study from the Framingham Offspring Cohort reported in the April issue of Diabetes Care.
"No study to date has examined the relation between adherence to the 2005 DGA and CVD [cardiovascular disease] risk or intermediate markers of risk," write Jeanene J. Fogli-Cawley, MS, RD, from the Jean Mayer US Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues. "We developed the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Adherence Index (DGAI) to determine whether a diet consistent with the 2005 DGA was associated with a lower risk of chronic disease. This study assessed the relationship between adherence to the 2005 DGA and insulin resistance, as measured by HOMA-IR [homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance], and fasting insulin in the Framingham Offspring Cohort."
