Dietary Fat and Meat Intake in Relation to Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Men. ...
Diabetes Care, vol. ... 417-424
Purpose
To examine dietary fat and meat intake in relation to risk of type 2 diabetes.
Hypothesis
Consumption of fat and meat will result in higher risk of type 2 diabetes. ... The health professionals were asked to fill out a questionnaire in 1986 that included a complete medical history, and information on their diets along with other potential risk factors for major diseases. ...
After the primary questionnaire men who did not satisfy the criteria of a reported daily energy intake were excluded from the study. This resulted in 1,595 men being eliminated. Eliminations were also made if there was reported diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer except nonmelanoma skin cancer. ... In total, 42,504 men remained in the study and participated in follow-ups questionnaires for type 2 diabetes for the next 12 years. Biennial questionnaires were completed throughout the years in order to stay updated on exposures, to identify new cases of type 2 diabetes, and other diseases.
