摘要

Background. Controversy exists regarding the association of coffee, tea and alcohol consumption with diabetes risk. We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the relation of coffee, tea, and alcohol consumption to diabetes risk in Taiwanese people. Methods. From 2005 to 2008, we recruited 1,682 participants from a community-based screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Yunlin County. Dietary habits (including alcohol, coffee and tea consumption) were obtained by a questionnaire and fasting blood glucose was measured. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze associations of alcohol, coffee and tea consumption with diabetes, before and after adjustments for confounding factors. Results. This study included data from 1,682 persons. After adjustment for potential confounders, the odd ratio for type 2 diabetes was 1.34 (95% CI, 0.76-2.35) for alcohol drinkers relative to nondrinkers, for coffee drinkers versus non-drinkers was 0.89 (95% CI, 0.48-1.63), and for tea drinkers compared to non-drinker was 0.93 (95% CI, 0.59-1.48). Intakes of tea, coffee and alcohol were not associated with risk of diabetes. Conclusions. Our results suggest that coffee, tea and alcohol consumption may not increase the risk of diabetes in Taiwanese people. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.
