Generalizability of dietary patterns associated with incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 08/31/09

Imamura F et al. – Consumption of meat products, refined grains, and soft drinks (caloric and noncaloric) was found to be common predictive components of all confirmatory scores, but fried foods, eggs, and alcoholic beverages were predictive in some, but not in all, confirmatory scores. On the basis of a continuous increase in the score by 1 SD, the NHS–based confirmatory score predicted T2DM risk. However, T2DM risk was only weakly predicted by the EPIC–based score and the WS–based score. The study suggested that dietary patterns that predict T2DM risk in different populations may not be generalizable to different populations. Additional dietary pattern studies should be conducted with regard to generalizability.
