Association between organic food consumption and Metabolic Syndrome: cross-sectional results from the NutriNet-Santé study
Abstract
Purpose : Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), a multicomponent condition, is a cardiovascular disease predictor. Although exposure to agricultural pesticides has been suggested as a potential contribut or to the rising rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes and other features of metabolic disorders, no studies have focused on the association between consumption of organic food (produced without synthetic pesticides) and MetS. We aimed to investigate the cross-sectional
association between organic food consumption and MetS in French adults to determine whether it wou ld be worth conducting further studies, particularly large prospective and randomised trials
