Abstract in brief

  • The study followed 84,941 women over 16 years, identifying a low-risk group for type 2 diabetes based on five lifestyle factors, and found that adherence to these factors significantly reduced diabetes risk.
  • Overweight/obesity was the strongest predictor of developing diabetes, but lack of exercise, poor diet, smoking, and not drinking alcohol also increased risk independently.
  • The results suggest that around 91% of diabetes cases could potentially be prevented if women adopted healthier lifestyle habits aligning with the low-risk pattern.

Does a low fiber/high saturated fat diet contribute to insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes? According to data from the Nurses Health Study, yes. 90% fewer cases of T2DM were found in those with high fiber and low saturated fat. https://t.co/q8wN0yPJgv https://t.co/cKVsWiH8qD

@NutritionMadeS3 We can see how the sats fats are a risk of T2M. It ocurre in the “3nd quartile” intake when the glucemic load is in the 4nd. (Please, notice again: I’m only taking about risk factor, not glycemic control when the disease is already working, other topic) https://t.co/NTETKf1Bss

@pipiripip13 @SaraRC83 Y encima que no se ha leído la evidencia científica al respecto. Criminalizar alimentos? Pues a algunos sí pero los que haya fundamento de que deben ser eliminados de la dieta: productos de origen animal fundamentalmente (resumiendo) https://t.co/NTETKf1Bss https://t.co/gtyuDn8OaV
