Metabolic adaptation
A plant-based diet is associated with an increased risk of higher TyG in women (OR = 1.25 for PDI and OR = 1.55 for hPDI).
Practitioners should be cautious about recommending high plant-based diets for women without considering overall dietary balance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Among females, those in Q4 of PDI(OR = 1.25,95 %CI:0.97–1.62) and hPDI(OR = 1.55,95 %CI:1.19–2.03) faced an increased risk of higher TyG compared to those in the lowest quartile.
Why this rating
The study uses logistic regression and a large cohort.
