Researchers evaluate the associations between adherence to the Mediterranean diet, insulin secretion, resistance, and sensitivity in obese individuals.
By Tarun Sai LomteOct 30 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in Nutrients, researchers evaluate the associations between adherence to the Mediterranean diet , insulin secretion , resistance , and sensitivity in obese or overweight individuals.
Reports suggest that over one-third of adults may be prediabetic; however, most people remain unaware of this predisposition to diabetes. Thus, the diagnosis and treatment of IR and prediabetes are critical to mitigating cardiometabolic conditions. Notably, it remains unclear whether the benefits of MD are due to the diet as a whole or specific components of the diet.
Study participants provided information on demographics, lifestyle habits, and medical history. MD adherence was examined using the 14-item PREDIMED questionnaire. Study findings The study recruited 62 participants, with a mean age of 49 years, including 55 females. The average BMI was 35.8 kg/m2. Fasting plasma glucose levels were not different across groups; however, fasting insulin levels were significantly lower in participants with high MD adherence. HOMA-IR was also lower in individuals with high MD adherence. The high MD adherence group also exhibited significantly elevated insulin sensitivity than other groups.
