Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluating carbohydrate quality

  132 food groups obtained from the food consumption frequency questionnaire were analyzed. Daily intake (g/day) was calculated using the BeBiS program with a global database, based on the amount and frequency of food consumed by participants. Glycaemic Index (GI) values were also determined using the BeBiS program, taking into account both the amount and frequency of food consumed. To determine the Carbohydrate Quality Index score, each of the four components (fiber intake, whole grain ratio, Glycaemic Index, and total carbohydrate ratio) was rated from 1 to 5 points. The score for each component was then summed. Q5 indicates the highest and Q1 the lowest carbohydrate quality.
