Li J, Demirel A, Azuero A, et al. - Via this cross-sectional study, the link between diet quality as evaluated by the healthy eating index-2015 and cardiovascular risk factors was investigated among persons suffering from chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). This study included 24 free-living adults experiencing SCI (mean age, 45 ± 12 y; 8F/16M, level of injury: nine cervical, 15 thoracic; mean duration of injury: 20 ± 13 y). Findings demonstrated not only a moderate association of higher conformance to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans with better fasting glucose homeostasis but also its trivial relationship with other cardiovascular risk factors, among participants with SCI.
