Other parameters under investigation were not affected by either low or high glycaemic indices .
The present systematic review and meta- analysis provides evidence of a beneficial effect of a low glycaemic index/load diet in children and adolescents being either overweight or obese .
The objective of the present systematic review and meta- analysis was to synthesize the available literature data investigating the effects of low glycaemic index/low glycamic load dietary regimens on anthropometric parameters , blood lipid profiles , and indicators of glucose metabolism in children and adolescents .
Association between dietary glycemic index, glycemic load, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
OBJECTIVE This study examined the relation between quality of dietary carbohydrate intake , as measured by glycemic index ( GI ) and glycemic load ( GL ) , and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP ) levels . METHODS During a 1-y observational study , data were collected at baseline and at each quarter thereafter . GI and GL were calculated from multiple 24-h dietary recalls ( 24HRs ) , 3 r and omly selected 24HRs at every quarter , with up to 15 24HRs per participant . The  hs-CRP was measured in blood sample s collected at baseline and each of the four quarterly measurement points . Multivariable linear mixed models were used to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of GI , GL , and hs-CRP . RESULTS Among 582 adult men and women with at least two measurements of diet and hs-CRP , average daily GI score ( white bread = 100 ) was 85 and average GL was 198 , and average hs-CRP was 1.84 mg/L. Overall , there was no association between GI or GL and hs-CRP . Subgroup analyses revealed an inverse association between GL and hs-CRP  among obese individuals ( body mass index > or = 30 kg/m(2 ) ) . CONCLUSION Quality of dietary carbohydrates does not appear to be associated with serum hs-CRP levels .  Among obese individuals , higher dietary GL appears to be related to lower hs-CRP levels . Due to the limited number of studies on this topic and their conflicting results , further investigation is warranted
