Specific types of alcoholic beverage consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Previous meta-analyses identified an inverse association of total alcohol consumption with the risk of type 2 diabetes. The current study further explored the relationship between specific types of alcoholic beverage and the incidence of type 2 diabetes.

Materials and methods

The pooled relative risks with 95% confidence interval were calculated using random- or fixed-effect models when appropriate.

Results

A total of 13 prospective studies were included in this meta-analysis, with 397,296 study participants and 20,6
