Research progress on carbohydrate quality index

Abstract

Abstract:

Carbohydrate is one of the three essential nutrients of the human body，which provides more than half of the energy required for human life activities. Studies have shown that the quality of carbohydrates is more closely related to human health than the quantity of carbohydrates. Therefore，it is particularly important to comprehensively and accurately evaluate the quality of carbohydrates and choose high-quality carbohydrates for daily diet. As an assessment tool，carbohydrate quality index provides a basis for dietary prevention strategies of diseases and expands the ideas for related research in other disease fields. This paper introduces the basic situation of carbohydrate quality and carbohydrate quality index，summarizes the application of carbohydrate quality index in clinical diseases，briefly summarizes its role in disease prevention，analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of its application process，in order to provide reference for clinical medical staff to apply carbohydrate index in future research.

Key words: Carbohydrate quality index, Carbohydrate, Whole grains, Glycemic index, Review
