Adjusted mean plasma HDL-C concentrations across quintiles of carbohydrate and dietary GL in Puerto Rican adults without T2D, n = 738. Carbohydrate and dietary GL were energy adjusted using the residual method before creating quintiles. Values are geometric means obtained by back-transforming logged HDL-C concentrations and using ANCOVA, adjusted for age, sex, education level, smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, waist circumference, lipid-lowering medication use, total energy, total fat, and dietary fiber intake. P-trend < 0.0001 for both. GL, glycemic load; HDL-C, HDL-cholesterol; T2D, type 2 diabetes.
