Adolescent dairy product consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes in middle-aged women - PubMed (original) (raw)

FIGURE 1.

Joint analysis between current dairy product intake and dairy product intake during high school in relation to type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. Tertiles (low, medium, or high) of dairy product intake in high school and adulthood were cross-classified into a single categorical variable and evaluated for risk of T2D by using the low-low category as the reference (Ref). High current dairy product intakes are depicted by dark gray bars, medium intakes by light gray bars, and low intakes by white bars. Models were adjusted for age, current BMI, total energy intake, family history of diabetes, smoking status, physical activity, alcohol use, oral contraceptive use, hormone replacement therapy, polyunsaturated:saturated fat ratio, glycemic load, and intakes of cereal fiber, trans fat, processed meat, carbonated soft drinks, fruit drinks, and coffee. RRs (95% CI) for current intake–intake during high school: Low-Low (reference), 1.00; Medium-Low, 1.11 (0.81, 1.52); High-Low, 0.94 (0.63, 1.41); Low-Medium, 1.05 (0.76, 1.46); Medium-Medium, 1.06 (0.78, 1.45); High-Medium, 0.84 (0.59, 1.21); Low-High, 1.05 (0.72, 1.52); Medium-High, 1.12 (0.81, 1.55); and High-High, 0.57 (0.39, 0.82). Median current dairy product intake (servings/1000 kcal): Low = 0.76, Medium = 1.25, and High = 1.89. Median dairy product intake during high school (servings/1000 kcal): Low = 0.65; Medium = 1.16; and High = 1.78. _P_-interaction = 0.049 based on the cross-product of median values of tertiles. Serv, servings.
