Abstract in brief
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between legume consumption and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, given their recommended benefits in diabetic diets despite limited evidence for protection against the disease.
- During a follow-up of 4.3 years involving 3349 participants, it was found that higher intake of total legumes and specifically lentils was associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- Substituting legumes for other protein or carbohydrate foods also correlated with lower diabetes incidence, suggesting that incorporating legumes into the diet could be beneficial for preventing the disease, particularly in older adults at high cardiovascular risk.
