Abstract
Various discussions have continued concerning low carbohydrate diet (LCD) and calorie restriction (CR). The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) have gradually recognized LCD as the recommendation for nutritional treatment. Recent reports have shown the predominance of LCD with clinical evidence from the accumulated data of the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), with analyses of total LCD scores (TLCDS). Using TLCDS to analyze 139 thousand person-years, the hazard ratio (HR) of total mortality was 0.87 for TLCDS and 0.76 for vegetable (VLCDS). Authors continue developing LCD activities through the Japan LCD Promotion Association (JLCDPA).
