From: Dietary fructose and risk of metabolic syndrome in adults: Tehran Lipid and Glucose study
The means of metabolic syndrome components across quartiles of fructose intakes. General linear models were used with adjustment for age, physical activity, body mass index, smoking status, energy intake, dietary intake of carbohydrate, fat, simple carbohydrate (except fructose),and fiber, and additionally adjusted for current estrogen use and menopausal status in women. Total dietary fructose intakes (g/1000 kcal/d) in 1th, 2 th, 3th and 4th quartiles were ≤13.3, 13.4-17.5, 17.6-23.7, and > 23.7 in men, and ≤ 10.3, 10.4-15.2, 15.3-20.8, and > 20.8 in women. Dietary fructose intake positively associated with waist circumference and systolic blood pressure in both sexes and diastolic blood pressure in men.
