NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Avoiding meats and fatty foods and eating lots of salads and cooked vegetables appears to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to study findings published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Dr. Allison Hodge, of the University of Melbourne, Australia, and colleagues examined the association between dietary patterns and type 2 diabetes in a 4-year study of 36,787 adults in the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort who provided dietary information. During follow-up, 365 new cases of type 2 diabetes were diagnosed.
The researchers defined four eating patterns, based on the predominance of 123 foods and beverages in the diet, which included: olive oil, salad, vegetables, legumes and avoidance of sweet bakery items, margarine and tea (Mediterranean); a variety of salads and vegetables (Salad and Vegetable); meats and fatty fried foods (Meat); and many different fruits (Fruit).
