Investigating the impact of dietary guidelines transition on cardiometabolic risk profile: a forensic analysis using diet quality metrics by Sualeheen, Ayesha, Khor, Ban Hock, Lim, Jun Hao, Balasubramanian, Gaiyal Viliy, Chuah, Khun Aik, Yeak, Zu Wei, Chinna, Karuthan, Narayanan, Sreelakshmi Sankara, Sundram, Kalyana, Mat Daud, Zulfitri Azuan, Karupaiah, Tilakavati

“…Notably, participants with the highest adherence to MHEI2020 scores exhibited significantly reduced odds for elevated TG (AOR 0.44, 95% CI 0.21–0.93, p = 0.030), HOMA2-IR (AOR 0.44, 95% CI 0.21–0.88, p = 0.022), and hsCRP (AOR 0.54, 95% CI 0.31–0.96, p = 0.040, compared to those with the lowest adherence. Each 5-unit increase in MHEI2020 scores reduced odds for elevated BMI (− 14%), WC (− 9%), LDL-C (− 32%), TG (− 15%), HOMA2-IR (− 9%) and hsCRP (− 12%). …”
