Dietary glycemic index, dietary glycemic load and mortality among men with established cardiovascular disease

In men with established cardiovascular disease, the effect of diets with high glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that diets with higher GI and GL are associated with increased mortality in men with established cardiovascular disease. We measured dietary GI and GL using food-frequency questionnaires in 4617 men, 45–79 years old, with a history of cardiovascular disease. The men were followed for...
