Macro partitioning
A longitudinal dietary pattern characterized by decreasing very high-carbohydrate intake and moderate protein intake is associated with a higher risk of diabetes in females.
For women, starting with a very high carbohydrate diet, even if you reduce it over time, may increase your risk of developing diabetes, even if your protein intake remains moderate. This suggests that managing initial carbohydrate load is crucial for diabetes prevention in women.
A similar pattern for moderate protein intake was also associated with the risk of diabetes in the female population (OR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.18-2.79).
Why this rating
Longitudinal data, robust statistical modeling, but observational nature and self-reported diagnosis introduce potential bias.
