Phytochemicals are bioactive compounds found in plant-based foods. Consumption of
phytochemical-rich foods has been associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases …

Background Despite the protective effects of foods being rich in phytochemicals against
chronic diseases, this issue is still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to …

Background Phytochemicals are natural non‐nutritive bioactive compounds found in fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes, as well as other plant foods. In the present …

Phytochemicals are bioactive nutrient plant chemicals that may provide desirable health
benefits beyond basic nutrition to reduce the risk of major non-communicable diseases …

Background and aims Plant-based diets are associated with reduced cardiometabolic risk
factors (CRFs) and lower risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS), probably via phytochemicals …

Background High intakes of phytochemical-rich foods have favorable effects on the
prevention of chronic diseases. In this study we assessed the dietary phytochemical index …

Phytochemical-rich foods consumption may be a valid nutritional strategy to reduce the risk
of weight gain and obesity. The phytochemical index (PI) is a simple and nonspecific method …

Objective (s): Cardio-metabolic risk factors are becoming a global health concern. To
address this problem, one of the proposed ways is to focus on phytochemical-rich foods …

RESULTS Overall, 31,319 adults were evaluated. Compared with men, women had a higher
median PI level (9.96 vs. 13.63) and significantly higher caloric intake levels from most PI …

Background: Dietary phytochemical index (DPI) has introduced as an inexpensive method
for quantifying the phytochemicals in foods. For the first time, this study was conducted to …
