Why the study?
Prior studies focused on single nutrients, and limited studies have assessed the association between different nutrient patterns, insulin resistance, and endothelial dysfunction.
Do specific nutrient patterns improve markers of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction in Iranian women?
Population
368 female nurses in Iran
Comparison
Adherence across three major nutrient patterns

Does not support practice change; leaves open whether legume-nut-protein patterns causally improve insulin resistance.
Do specific nutrient patterns improve markers of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction in Iranian women?
A nutrient pattern rich in legumes, nuts, and protein foods is associated with lower markers of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction in Iranian women.
Dehghani et al. (2024) studied this question.
