Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are an important food crop worldwide and contribute key nutrients to the diet, including vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber. Potatoes and potato components have been shown to have favorable impacts on several measures of cardiometabolic health in animals and humans, including lowering blood pressure, improving lipid profiles, and decreasing markers of inflammation. A range of glycemic index (GI) values have been reported for potatoes, and data are sparse regarding the impact of potato consumption on the postprandial glycemic response, especially when potatoes are consumed with other foods. There is a lack of clinical trial data regarding the impact of potatoes on weight management. A small number of human cohort studies have reported beneficial associations between potato consumption as part of a healthy lifestyle and cardiometabolic health. Another small number of human population studies have included potatoes as part of a dietary pattern with other calorie-dense foods and have not reported cardiometabolic benefits. The epidemiological literature should be interpreted with caution due to lack of consistency in both defining dietary patterns that include potatoes and in control for potential confounding variables. Controlled clinical trials are needed to define the impact of potatoes on cardiometabolic health.
土豆（Solanum tuberosum）是全球重要的粮食作物，为饮食提供了关键营养，包括维生素 C、钾和膳食纤维。土豆和土豆成分已被证明对动物和人类的几种心血管代谢健康指标有积极影响，包括降低血压、改善血脂谱和降低炎症标志物。已报道了一系列的血糖生成指数（GI）值，关于土豆摄入对餐后血糖反应的影响的数据很少，尤其是当土豆与其他食物一起食用时。关于土豆对体重管理影响的临床试验数据缺乏。少数人群队列研究报告了将土豆作为健康生活方式一部分与心血管代谢健康之间的有益关联。还有少数人群研究将土豆作为包含高热量食物的饮食模式的一部分，但并未报告心血管代谢益处。由于在定义包含土豆的饮食模式和控制潜在混杂变量方面缺乏一致性，因此应谨慎解释流行病学文献。需要进行对照临床试验来确定土豆对心血管代谢健康的影响。
