Prospective association between dietary source-determined nitrate/nitrite and the risk of metabolic syndrome among children and adolescents: Tehran lipid and glucose study
Our findings provide evidence that dietary NO<sub>2</sub>/NO<sub>3</sub> intake in children and adolescents whether from the plant or animal food sources were not associated with MetS incidence. High dietary intake of total NO<sub>2</sub> increased the incidence of some MetS risk factors; while high intake of NO<sub>3</sub> in spite of their sources increased the incidence of high BP. Exposure to animal-sourced nitrate intake had increased the risk of high TG.
