This editorial discusses and analyses the role of dietary interventions in the management of chronic conditions in recognition of the global increase of these diseases, the rise in the ageing population, and the significant cost to health services around the world. Evidence has shown that low-glycaemic index (GI) and low-carbohydrate diets are effective in the management of type 2 diabetes, and the role of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and bioactive compounds in chronic disease management have been the subject of intense research. However, although multidimensional approaches are important in the management of these chronic conditions, nutritional interventions are critical and central to these strategies.
这篇社论讨论和分析了饮食干预在慢性病管理中的作用，认识到这些疾病在全球范围内的增加、人口老龄化的上升以及对全球卫生服务的巨大成本。有证据表明，低血糖指数（GI）和低碳水化合物饮食在 2 型糖尿病管理中是有效的，不饱和脂肪酸、维生素和生物活性化合物在慢性病管理中的作用一直是研究的热点。然而，尽管多维方法在这些慢性病的管理中很重要，但营养干预对于这些策略是至关重要和核心的。
