Diet quality and its association with type 2 diabetes and major cardiometabolic risk factors among adults in China.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

We examined the association between diet quality and diabetes and major cardiometabolic risks among adults in China.

Methods and results

We developed the China Dietary Guideline Index (CDGI) based on the 2007 Chinese dietary guidelines and tailored the Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010 (which we call the tAHEI) to assess diet quality.

We used diet data the longitudinal China Health and Nutrition Survey 2006 collected in 3 consecutive 24-h recalls from 4440 adults aged 18 to 65 to calculate both the tAHEI and the CDGI scores. We performed multivariable logistic regressions to analyze the association of each 2006 score with diabetes, abdominal obesity, elevated b
