Dietary patterns associated with HbA1c and LDL cholesterol among individuals with type 1 diabetes in China.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To identify dietary patterns that influence cardiometabolic risk among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in China.

Methods

Data are from a cross-sectional study of T1D in China (n=99). Dietary intake was assessed using three 24-hour recalls. Reduced rank regression was used to identify dietary patterns from a set of 20 food groups that maximized the explained variation in glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

Results

Dietary pattern 1 was characterized by low intakes of wheat products and high-fat cakes, and high intakes of beans and pickled vegetables. Dietary pattern 2 was characterized by low intakes of high-fat cakes, nuts/seeds, fish/shellfish, and teas/coffee, and high intakes of rice and eggs. Participants in t
