Association between fruit, vegetable, seafood, and dairy intake and a reduction in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Qingdao, China
並列摘要
Background: Fruit, vegetable, seafood, and dairy intake may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, but this relationship is unclear. We aimed to examine the associations between fruit, vegetable, seafood, and dairy intake and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in a Chinese population. Methods: A total of 4343 individuals aged 35-74 years participated in a population-based cross-sectional study in Qingdao, China. The frequency and quantity of fruit, vegetable, seafood, and dairy intake were determined using a standard food frequency questionnaire. Diabetes was classified according to the WHO/IDF 2006 criteria. Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the odds ratio (OR) for type 2 diabetes in relation to fruit, vegetable, seafood, and dairy intake in a multivariable model. Results: The multivariate-adjusted ORs (95% confidence interval) for the presence of type 2 diabetes were 0.68 (0.46, 0.98), 0.50 (0.37, 0.68), and 0.91 (0.66, 1.25), respectively, for the highest versus the lowest groups regarding total fruit and vegetable, fruit or vegetable intake in women. The ORs for type 2 diabetes prevalence regarding the quantity of fruit and vegetable, fruit intake, and yogurt intake were 0.88 (0.78, 0.99), 0.71 (0.61, 0.82), and 0.56 (0.32, 0.98) in women, but no significance was shown in men. Seafood consumption was inversely associated with diabetes risk in men, but not in women; the corresponding figures were 0.58 (0.35, 0.96) and 0.92 (0.63, 1.36), respectively. Conclusions: Fruit, vegetable, and yogurt intake in women and seafood intake in men were inversely associated with the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in this Chinese population. These findings require confirmation in a prospective study.
