Prospective study of total and various types of vegetables and the risk of metabolic syndrome among children and adolescents
Diets that promote the intake of vegetables may curb the development of metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents.
The objective of this study was to determine the risk of metabolic syndrome based on the rate of consumption of vegetables among children and adolescents. Researchers surveyed the diets and health of 424 children and adolescents recruited from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study Cohort. During the course of the study, a total of 47 participants was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.
Researchers observed that consistent consumers of vegetables, especially allium and green leafy vegetables, were less likely to suffer from metabolic syndrome. The results of this study suggest that the odds of preventing metabolic were stacked in favor of children and adolescents who are habitual eaters of vegetables.
