Dietary Protein Intake and Type 2 Diabetes Among Women and Men in Northeast China.

ABSTRACT: We conducted a comprehensive and in-depth assessment of different dietary protein sources related to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and determined whether the association is mediated by insulin resistance (IR) and β-cell dysfunction in a population-based cross sectional study of 4,427 women and 2,394 men aged 20-74 years in northeast China. We observed that the intake of total protein, animal protein, and red meat protein was positively associated with T2D prevalence in women. Comparing the women in the highest quintile of protein intake with those in the lowest quintile, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios of T2D were 2.13 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.18-3.81] for total protein, 2.27 (95% CI: 1.18-4.35) for animal protein, and 1.75 (95% CI: 1.14-2.68) for red meat protein.
