Changes in dairy product consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes: results from 3 large prospective cohorts of US men and women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whether changes in dairy product consumption are related to subsequent risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unknown.

Objective

We evaluated the association of long-term changes in dairy product consumption with subsequent risk of T2D among US men and women.

Methods

We followed up 34,224 men in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986-2012), 76,531 women in the Nurses' Health Study (1986-2012), and 81,597 women in the Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2013). Changes in dairy consumption were calculated from consecutive quadrennial FFQs. Multivariable Cox proportional regression models were used to calculate HRs for T2D associated with changes in dairy product consumption. Results of the 3 cohorts were pooled using an inverse variance-weighted, fixed-effec
