Low adherence to a healthy dietary pattern is a convincing risk factor for increased Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) incidence.
Adhering to a healthy dietary pattern is a highly effective strategy to reduce your risk of Type 2 Diabetes. The evidence is very strong: people who follow a healthy dietary pattern have a significantly lower risk of developing the disease. Focus on whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limit processed foods.
Low adherence to a healthy dietary pattern... presented convincing evidence for increased risk of T2DM.
Why this rating
Graded as 'convincing' based on >1,000 cases, P < 10^-6, no large heterogeneity, and 95% PI excluding null.
