To assess associations between dietary fat quality indices (FQI) and risk of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among Iranian adults.
Design:
Daily intakes of fatty acids were estimated using a validated food frequency questionnaire with 168 food item. Adjusted hazard Ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of pre-diabetes and T2DM were calculated in tertile categories of dietary FQI including atherogenic index (AI), thrombogenic index (TI), health promoting index (HPI), ratio of poly-unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA) and ratio of hypo and hypercholesterolemia (h/H).
Setting:
Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.
Participants:
Iranian men and women.
Results:
Mean (±SD) age of the 2042 pre-diabetes-free participants in pre-diabetes analysis was 38.84 (12.97), and 55.2% were women. In T2DM analysis, mean (±SD) age of the 2295 T2DM-free participants was 40.06 (13.42), and 54.6% of them were women. In the crude model, PUFA/SFA ratio was positively associated with T2DM incidence (HR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.04-1.98). However, after adjustment for confounding variables, there were no significant associations between dietary FQI and risk of pre-diabetes and T2DM.
Conclusions:
We found no significant association between FQI and risk of pre-diabetes and T2DM. Further prospective and clinical trial studies are needed to clarify the issue.
