Objective To investigate the relationship between glycemic index (GI) of mixed foods and glucose and lipid metabolism index in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus, and to analyze the effects of CI response with regard to sex and obesity. Methods Forty-three patients with diabetes mellitus were divided into two groups with randomly crossover methods: high CI group and low GI group. Mixed meals were given for ten weeks (washing time:2 weeks). The biochemistry index and anthropometric index at baseline,before and after the first and second phase were measured. At the same time,fasting blood glucose(FBG)and postprandial 2 h blood glucose (2hBG) were supervised thrice a week and the daily energy, three macronutrients, and GI were calculated during trial. Results GI was positively correlated with FBG, 2hBG, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR) ,body mass index ( BMI), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( r = 0. 097-0. 423, P = 0. 000 1-0.01). GI value was a strong associated factor for FBG and 2hBG in overweight male patients. Conclusions The GI of mixed foods can better reflect the level of glucose response, especially in obese men. And it had good correlations with other metabolic indexes.

Objective:To assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome(MS) and its relationship with hyperuricemia(HUA) in perimenopausal women in Anning city, Yunnan province.Methods:This is a cross-sectional survey. In May 2021, a multi-stage stratified sampling method was used to collect demographics and clinical data [ethnicity, living community, height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides(TG), serum uric acid, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C), alanine transaminase(ALT), etc] in a total of 6 721 perimenopausal women aged 45-60 years.Results:A total of 6 721 perimenopausal women were included in this study. The prevalences of MS and HUA were 14.05%(95% CI 13.22%-14.88%) and 6.46%(95% CI 5.88%-7.07%), respectively. The average age, HDL-C, urea, direct bilirubin, and albumin levels in the perimenstrual HUA population were lower than those in the non-HUA population while the levels of TG, ALT, heart rate, body mass index(BMI), and creatinine were higher(all P<0.05). The prevalence of HUA in perimenopausal women with ethnic minorities and family history of chronic diseases was higher than that in Han nationality and without family history of chronic diseases. The prevalence of MS in perimenopausal women was increased with the increase of serum uric acid( Z=-15.313 8, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression model showed that HUA was positively correlated with MS( OR=1.526, 95% CI 1.192-1.954) after adjusting for covariates such as BMI and ethnicity, and the incidence of MS in perimenopausal women in HUA group was 1.526 folds higher than that in non-hyperuricemia group. Conclusion:HUA is highly positively correlated with MS in perimenopausal women. The management of uric acid level in perimenopausal women should be strengthened.
