The Mediterranean Diet is Associated with an Improved Quality of Life in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the potential association between dietary patterns (i.e., the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) and healthy eating) and patient-reported quality of life (QoL) and treatment satisfaction (TS) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A food frequency questionnaire, the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL-19), and the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire-status version (DTSQ-s) were administered via personal interviews to 258 participants with T1D. Multivariable analysis showed that a moderate or high adherence to the MedDiet was associated with greater diabetes-specific QoL (? = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.03; 0.61; p = 0.029). None of the dietary quality indexes (i.e., the alternate Mediterranean Diet Score (aMED) and the alternate Healthy Eating Index (aHEI)) were associated with the overall TS. However, the aHEI was positively associated with the specific items of TS "convenience" and "flexibility" (? = 0.03, 95% CI = 0.00; 0.06; p = 0.042 and ? = 0.04; 95% CI = 0.01; 0.06; p = 0.011, respectively). On the other hand, the aHEI was negatively associated with the dimension "recommend to others" (? = -0.5, 95% CI = -0.99; -0.02; p = 0.042). In conclusion, a moderate and high adherence to the MedDiet was associated with greater QoL. Although neither aMED nor aHEI were associated with the overall TS, some specific items were positively (i.e., "convenience", "flexibility") or negatively ("recommend to others") related to the aHEI. Further research is needed to assess how to improve medical nutrition therapy and its impact on patient-reported outcomes in people with T1D.

Project description:BackgroundDiet quality has been linked to obesity, but this relationship remains unclear in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study is to examine the association between diet quality and obesity in Chinese adults with T2D.MethodsBetween April and November 2016, a total of 211 Chinese T2D adults who underwent assessment of diabetes-related treatment goals and metabolic control were recruited into two groups based on their body mass index (BMI): obese group (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) and non-obese group (BMI = 18.5-24.9 kg/m2). Diet quality indices including Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010), Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I), and Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score, were derived from a validated food frequency questionnaire.ResultsObese T2D patients had significantly lower AHEI-2010 (P < 0.001), DQI-I (P < 0.001), and DASH total scores (P = 0.044) than their non-obese counterparts, independent of age and sex. They also had higher total energy (P < 0.001), protein percentage of energy (P = 0.023), and meat, poultry and organ meat (P < 0.001), but lower vegetable (P = 0.014) intakes. Our multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that the AHEI-2010, but not DQI-I and DASH, total score had an inverse association with obesity, independent of sociodemographics, anti-diabetic medication use, physical activity level and total energy intake (odds ratio [OR] per standard deviation (1-SD) increase: 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.91-0.99, P = 0.020). This association remained significant after further adjustment for glycemic control. Inverse associations were also found between obesity and multivariate-adjusted component scores, including AHEI-2010 red/processed meat (OR per 1-SD: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.51-0.99, P = 0.044), DQI-I variety (OR per 1-SD: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.46-0.86, P = 0.004), and DASH red/processed meat (OR per 1-SD: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.38-0.84, P = 0.005).ConclusionsBetter diet quality, as characterized by higher AHEI-2010 scores, was associated with lower odds of obesity in Chinese adults with T2D. Dietary patterns reflecting high consumption of plant-based foods and low consumption of animal-based, high-fat, and processed foods may be imperative to optimize nutritional guidance for obesity management in this population.

Project description:IntroductionLimited data are available on the relationship between quality of life (QoL) change and significant degrees of reduction in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and/or weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We explored the associations between HbA1c targets and/or weight loss achieved and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in adults with T2D treated with tirzepatide, a first-in-class once weekly glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, using pooled data from SURPASS-1 to -5 Phase 3 clinical trials.MethodsPROs were assessed using five instruments at baseline and endpoint (Week 40 in SURPASS-1, -2 and -5; Week 52 in SURPASS-3 and -4): Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite Clinical Trials Version; Impact of Weight on Self-Perception (IW-SP) questionnaire; Ability to Perform Physical Activities of Daily Living (APPADL); Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire change; and EQ-5D-5L. All PROs were assessed in participants receiving pooled doses of tirzepatide (5, 10 or 15 mg) and achieving HbA1c targets of < 5.7%, ≥ 5.7-≤ 6.5% and > 6.5% or achieving ≥ 0-< 5%, ≥ 5-< 10%, ≥ 10-< 15% and ≥ 15% weight loss from baseline at endpoint. The APPADL, IW-SP and EQ visual analogue scores were evaluated in participants achieving each combination of HbA1c target and weight loss.ResultsAchievement of lower HbA1c targets or higher body weight percentage losses were each associated with greater improvements in QoL than achievement of higher HbA1c targets or lower body weight percentage losses, respectively. Achievement of lower HbA1c targets in combination with greater weight loss was generally associated with the best QoL ratings.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that HbA1c targets and significant percentage body weight reduction thresholds need to be achieved for people with T2D to help substantially increase their overall health-related QoL. Tirzepatide treatment may allow a high proportion of people with T2D to achieve these targets, enabling improved QoL.Clinical trial registrationSURPASS-1: NCT03954834; SURPASS-2: NCT03987919; SURPASS-3: NCT03882970; SURPASS-4: NCT03730662; SURPASS-5: NCT04039503.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Children who are picky eaters typically demonstrate persistent food refusal and poor diet quality and may be resistant to intervention. OBJECTIVE:This study tested whether pickiness moderated the effect of a nutrition intervention on diet quality in youth with type 1 diabetes, hypothesizing that the intervention effect would be smaller among picky relative to nonpicky eaters. DESIGN:The study was an 18-month randomized clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS:Youth age 8.0 to 16.9 years (n=136) with type 1 diabetes duration ?1 year, receiving care at an outpatient diabetes center in Boston, MA, and a parent, participated from 2010 to 2013. INTERVENTION:The intervention integrated motivational interviewing, active learning, and applied problem solving to increase whole plant food intake. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Whole plant food density (WPFD, cup/oz equivalents per 1,000 kcal target food groups), Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI2005, measures conformance to US dietary guidelines), and dietary variety were calculated from 3-day food records completed at six different times. Parents completed the pickiness subscale of the Child Feeding Questionnaire. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED:Mean WPFD and HEI2005 were estimated using the population ratio method; standard errors were computed using jackknife variance-covariance estimation. Overall P value comparing groups across visits was derived using the ?2 test. RESULTS:Baseline diet quality was lower in picky than in nonpicky eaters. No intervention effect on pickiness or dietary variety was seen. In stratified analyses, the intervention effect on diet quality was significant for picky eaters only (WPFD P=0.0003; HEI2005 P=0.04). Among picky eaters, diet quality in the treatment group improved, whereas diet quality in the control group remained low. Diet quality of nonpicky eaters in the intervention group changed to a lesser degree. CONCLUSIONS:The intervention resulted in increased diet quality in picky eaters, whereas no intervention effect was seen in nonpicky eaters. Findings suggest that diet quality of picky eaters can be improved without changing their underlying pickiness.

Project description:BackgroundAsthma has become one of the major public health challenges, and recent studies show promising clinical benefits of dietary interventions, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to examine whether changes in diet quality are associated with changes in inflammatory markers important in asthma pathophysiology.MethodsIn this exploratory study in patients with poorly controlled asthma participating in a randomized controlled trial of a DASH intervention study, changes in concentrations of a broad panel of serum proteins (51-plex Luminex assay, Affymetrix) were determined, and their relation to diet quality (DASH score) assessed by combining data of both intervention and usual-care control groups. Second, the relation between the serum proteins, other biomarkers of inflammation and nutrition, and Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) was assessed.ResultsDuring the first 3 mo, diet quality (DASH scores) were inversely associated (P < 0.05, false discovery rate P < 0.09) with serum concentrations of a large number serum proteins, reflecting not only general proinflammatory markers such as IL-1β, transforming growth factor α (TGF-α), and IL-6 (r = -0.31 to -0.39) but also a number of proteins associated with asthmatic conditions, specifically several T-helper (Th) 2 (Th2; r = -0.29 to -0.34) and Th17 (r = -0.4) associated cytokines and growth factors. Monokine induced by gamma/chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 9 (CXCL9) (MIG/CXCL9), a T-cell attractant induced by IFN-γ previously linked to asthma exacerbations, appeared to be the marker most consistently associated with DASH diet quality for the entire 6-mo study period (r = -0.40 and -0.30 for 0-3 and 3-6 mo, respectively, and standardized coefficient loadings -0.13 in the partial least squares analyses). Decreases in 19 serum protein concentrations were also correlated with improved asthma control during the 6-mo study period.ConclusionsOur data in adult patients with poorly controlled asthma suggest that dietary changes, like the introduction of DASH, may have beneficial effects on reducing inflammatory status. This trial was registered at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01725945.
