Dietary glycemic index, glycemic load, and cause-specific mortality: two population-based prospective cohort studies

Long-Gang Zhao et al.

Summary: This study found that higher dietary glycemic index and glycemic load were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality in Chinese adults. The association may vary between men and women.

Dietary glycemic index, glycemic load and cancer risk: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

Tingting Long et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the association between dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) and cancer risk through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The findings suggest that a high GI diet increases the overall risk of cancer, particularly for lung cancer and breast cancer, although the certainty of evidence is low.

Associations of Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load with Cardiovascular Disease: Updated Evidence from Meta-analysis and Cohort Studies

Alok Kumar Dwivedi et al.

Summary: The consumption of a diet higher in carbohydrates, particularly processed carbohydrates, has been associated with metabolic abnormalities that may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and related mortality. High glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) have conflicting associations with CVD, with differences observed based on sex, obesity status, and preexisting CVD. Dietary interventions focusing on reducing both GI and GL are recommended for preventing CVD outcomes across all populations.

Epidemiology of Renal Cell Carcinoma: 2022 Update

Laura Bukavina et al.

Summary: The incidence and mortality rates of kidney cancer vary significantly globally, with variations across time, geography, and sex. Hypertension, obesity, and smoking are the most well-established risk factors. Recent advances in genetic characterization have improved our understanding of the mutations that predispose individuals to kidney cancer.

Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load, and Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality

David J. A. Jenkins et al.

Summary: In this study involving 137,851 participants from five continents aged between 35 and 70 years, it was found that a diet with a high glycemic index was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Consuming a diet with a high glycemic index was linked to higher risk of major cardiovascular events and death, even among participants without preexisting cardiovascular disease.
