Abstract

To investigate the role of dietary factors in the development of type 2 diabetes.In the context of the Multinational MGSD Nutrition Study, three groups of subjects were studied: 204 subjects with recently diagnosed diabetes (RDM), 42 subjects with undiagnosed diabetes (UDM) (American Diabetes Association criteria-fasting plasma glucose [FPG]or =126 mg/dl), and 55 subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (FPGor =110 and126 mg/dl). Each group was compared with a control group of nondiabetic subjects, matched one by one for center, sex, age, and BMI. Nutritional habits were evaluated by a dietary history method, validated against the 3-day diet diary. In RDM, the questionnaire referred to the nutritional habits before the diagnosis of diabetes. Demographic data were collected, and anthropometrical and biochemical measurements were taken.Compared with control subjects, RDM more frequently had a family history of diabetes (49.0 vs. 14.2%; P0.001), exercised less (exercise index 53.5 vs. 64.4; P0.01), and more frequently had sedentary professions (47.5 vs. 27.4%; P0.001). Carbohydrates contributed less to their energy intake (53.5 vs. 55.1%; P0.05), whereas total fat (30.2 +/- 0.5 vs. 27.8 +/- 0.5%; P0.001) and animal fat (12.2 +/- 0.3 vs. 10.8 +/- 0.3%; P0.01) contributed more and the plant-to-animal fat ratio was lower (1.5 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.8 +/- 0.1; P0.01). UDM more frequently had a family history of diabetes (38.1 vs. 19.0%; P0.05) and sedentary professions (58.5 vs. 34.1%; P0.05), carbohydrates contributed less to their energy intake (47.6 +/- 1.7 vs. 52.8 +/- 1.4%; P0.05), total fat (34.7 +/- 1.5 vs. 30.4 +/- 1.2%; P0.05) and animal fat (14.2 +/- 0.9 vs. 10.6 +/- 0.7%; P0.05) contributed more, and the plant-to-animal fat ratio was lower (1.6 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.3 +/- 0.4; P0.05). IFG differed only in the prevalence of family history of diabetes (32.7 vs. 16.4%; P0.05).Our data support the view that increased animal fat intake is associated with the presence of diabetes.

Abstract

Objective:To determine: (a) whether the components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) cluster more frequently than predicted by chance alone and (b) whether increased risk for MetS is associated also with values of each component below, but close to the cutoff points defining MetS.Research design and methods:Anthropometrical and biochemical measurements were performed and a dietary questionnaire was filled-in in 1833 randomly selected non-diabetic subjects, 916 men and 917 women, 20–74 years old, in nine centres in five Mediterranean countries. The prevalence of MetS and of possible combinations of its individual components was measured. The expected frequencies of the above combinations were calculated according to the mathematical formula of probabilities.Results:The overall prevalence of MetS was 27.2%, but varied greatly among countries, from 5.8% in Algeria to 37.3% in Greece. The observed prevalence of each combination diagnostic of MetS was higher than the expected by chance. Thus, the observed overall prevalence of MetS was also higher than the expected, 27.2 vs 24.0%, P=0.03. Furthermore, for each individual component (except high-density lipoprotein), as values in the normal range, approached the cutoff point, the risk of having MetS (i.e. clustering of the other components) increased significantly (odds ratio 2.2–4.6, P<0.001).Conclusions:The MetS is not related to the Mediterranean type of diet and its prevalence varies greatly among five Mediterranean countries. The clustering of the components defining the MetS is not due to chance and moreover even ‘high normal’ levels of each component confer increased risk for the syndrome.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2006) 60, 1376–1383. doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1602467; published online 5 July 2006 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
