Purpose: This study investigates the impact of biological factors, such as age, BMI, and gender, on the
variability of glycemic index (GI) responses. It examines how these factors influence postprandial glycemic
responses to two common foods, Bread Butter (BB) and Masala Roti (MR), to assess the reliability of GI in
predicting health outcomes.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used an analytical observational cross-sectional design.
Participants were divided into experimental groups based on age, BMI, and gender. Blood glucose levels
were measured over 180 minutes after consuming BB and MR, and GI values were calculated using the
incremental area under the curve (iAUC) method. The control group had broader age, BMI, and gender
criteria, allowing for inter- and intra-individual variability assessment.
