High dietary acid load score is not associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome in Iranian adults.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest no association between dietary acid load and MetS risk in Iranian adults. However, higher dietary acid load, measured by NEAP, but not PRAL, was associated with increased risk of impaired fasting blood sugar. Longitudinal studies are warranted to explore whether a diet low in potential acid load could reduce MetS risk. PMID: 32019435 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
