Is diet quality associated with obesity and hypertension in Australian adults : a cross sectional study?
Higher diet quality, as estimated using DGI, was associated with lower odds ratio of obesity in men and women. Odds ratio of hypertension was lower in men, but not women, with a high diet quality score compared with a low score, while obesity-associated hypertension was only associated with diet quality score in men with obesity. Longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate whether diet quality predicts risk of obesity and hypertension.
glomerular arginine uptake is decreased in CRF. This phenomenon can explain the beneficial effect of L-arginine supplementation in CRF.
