“…[58][59][60] It involves 4680 men and women aged 40-59 years from 17 population samples, four in Japan, three in the PRC, two in the UK, and eight in the US. Each sample was selected randomly from a population list, stratified by age and gender, to give approximately equal numbers in each of four 10-year age-gender groups.…”

“…Several placebo-controlled antihypertensive trials in China have employed a dihydropyridine CCB as the first-line drug for hypertension treatment. [1][2][3][4][5] Indeed, nitrendipine was used in the Syst-China (Systolic Hypertension in China trial), 1,2 nifedipine in the Shanghai trial 3 and felodipine in the FEVER (Felodipine Event Reduction) trial. 4 Despite the fact that these CCBs are short or intermediate acting, active antihypertensive treatment significantly reduced the risk of fatal and non-fatal strokes, the major complication of hypertension in the Chinese population, by 38, 58 and 27% in the Syst-China, 1 Shanghai 3 and FEVER trials, 4 respectively.…”

“…First, CCBs are probably more effective in lowering blood pressure in Eastern Asians, because, when compared with the White population, Eastern Asians have high dietary intakes of sodium 5 and are more likely to be salt sensitive. 6 Second, CCBs, compared with other classes of antihypertensive drugs, provide more protection against stroke; 7,8 hence, they are more relevant because the major complication of hypertension in Eastern Asians is stroke rather than myocardial infarction.…”

“…The American Diabetes Association also suggests that patients with T2DM should increase their consumption of dietary fibre to adjust blood sugar and blood lipids, and thus reduce the risk of diabetic complications (6) . Compared with Western populations, Chinese people usually have more dietary fibre intake (12) . The average level of total and soluble fibre intakes in Chinese diabetes patients were reported to reach 26?5 and 10?4 g/d, respectively, in a small-scale hospital-based survey (13) , more than the moderate amount recommended by the American Diabetes Association (total 24 g/d; soluble fibre 8 g/d and insoluble fibre 16 g/d) (6) .…”

Objective: Dietary fibre has been linked to lower levels of glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) among diabetes patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the long-term effect of dietary fibre on HbA1c levels among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Design: Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2006 and 2011, with the second one being a repeat survey on a sub-sample from the initial one. In both surveys, an in-person interview was conducted to collect information on demographic characteristics and lifestyles following a similar protocol. Dietary intake was assessed with a validated FFQ. Anthropometric measures and biochemical assays were performed at the interview. Setting: Communities in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, China. Subjects: Chinese patients (n 934) with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results: An inverse association was observed between dietary fibre and glycaemic status indicated by HbA1c level in both surveys, although it was significant only in the first survey. Among 497 patients participating in both surveys, dietary fibre intake at the first survey was inversely associated with uncontrolled glycaemic status at the second survey, with adjusted odds ratios across the tertiles of intake being 1? 00, 0?72 (95 % CI 0?43, 1?21) and 0?58 (95 % CI 0?34, 0?99; P trend 5 0?048). The change in fibre intake was slightly associated with glycaemic status, with each increase in tertile scores of intake linked to a 0?138 % (b 5 20?138; 95 % CI 20?002, 0?278) Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease mainly characterized by the disorder of glucose metabolism, which may lead to a variety of specific severe complications such as CHD, stroke, diabetic retinopathy and kidney failure (1) . T2DM and its complications have been becoming a main burden of disease around the world, particularly in developing countries (2) . Aggressive control of hyperglycaemia, either by medicine or lifestyle intervention, is crucial to decrease the incidence of diabetic complications and the related premature death (3,4) . As a biomarker reflecting an individual's average level of blood glucose over past 2-3 months, glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has been associated with the risk of long-term diabetes complications (5) and used as the main indicator of glycaemic control status among diabetes patients (6) . The American Diabetes Association recommends an HbA1c level below 7?0 % as the goal of glycaemic control for diabetes patients (6) .There is sufficient evidence to support the role of dietary fibre in improving glycaemic control status in diabetes patients (7)(8)(9) . Evidence is also available for its beneficial effect on prevention of diabetes complications. By following up 7822 US women with T2DM in the Nurses' Health Study for 26 years, He et al.
