Researchers analyzed data from participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study:
- 4883 men and women 65 years or older
- Followed for a 10-year period (1989-1998)
- Physical activity level.
- Dietary score. A low-risk score lected:
- Higher fiber intake
- Higher polyunsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio
- Lower trans-fat intake
- Lower glycemic index
- Higher fiber intake
- Smoking. Never smoked or former smoker greater than 20 years lected low-risk.
- Alcohol use. Light or moderate intake lected low-risk.
- Body fat. Low-risk lected:
- BMI less than 25 (Calculate your BMI here.)
- Waist circumference 88 cm or less for women (34.6 in), 92 cm for men (36.2 in)
- BMI less than 25 (Calculate your BMI here.)
"The rate of incident diabetes was 35% lower for each 1 additional lifestyle factor in the low-risk group.The authors concluded:
Participants whose physical activity level and dietary, smoking, and alcohol habits were all in the low-risk group had an 82% lower incidence of diabetes.
When absence of adiposity (either body mass index < 25 or waist circumference ≤ 88/92 cm for women/men) was added to the other 4 low-risk lifestyle factors, incidence of diabetes was 89% lower.
Overall, 9 of 10 new cases of diabetes appeared to be attributable to these 5 lifestyle factors."
"Even later in life, combined lifestyle factors are associated with a markedly lower incidence of new-onset diabetes mellitus."
