Current international tables published on the glycaemic index (GI) of foods represent valuable resources for researchers and clinicians. However, the vast majority of published GI values are of Western origin, notably European, Australian and North American. Since these tables focus on Western foods with minimal inclusion of other foods from non-Western countries, their application is of limited global use. The objective of this review is to provide the GI values for a variety of foods that are consumed in non-Western countries. Our review extends and expands on the current GI tables in an attempt to widen its application in many other regions of the world.
目前，国际上发布的食物血糖生成指数 (GI) 表是研究人员和临床医生的宝贵资源。然而，绝大多数公布的 GI 值来自西方，尤其是欧洲、澳大利亚和北美。由于这些表格主要关注的是西方食物，很少包含来自非西方国家的其他食物，因此它们的应用范围有限。本综述的目的是提供在非西方国家消费的各种食物的 GI 值。我们的综述扩展和补充了当前的 GI 表，试图使其在世界上许多其他地区得到更广泛的应用。
