Diabetes Care: White rice intake and diabetes risk.

Previous prospective studies on the correlation between white rice intake and diabetes have produced conflicting results, but these studies have been conducted in individual countries and mainly in Asian countries.
a recent study published in Diabetes Care, an authoritative journal in the field of diabetes, researchers reported a relationship between white rice and diabetes risk in a multi-country prospective urban rural epidemiology (PURE) study.
researchers analyzed data on 132,373 patients aged 35-70 from 21 countries.
are grouped into slt;150g/day, 150 to 300g/day, 300 to 450g/day and 450g/day based on the intake of white rice.
the main outcome of the study was diabetes.
used the multivarivation Cox vulnerability model to calculate the risk ratio.
, 6,129 people with no diabetes developed diabetes during the average 9.5-year follow-up period.
the increase in white rice intake over the entire queue (from 450g/day, compared to the risk of diabetes (HR of 1.20; 95% CI of 1.02-1.40; trend P=0.003).
, however, the regions most at risk are South Asia (HR 1.61; 95% CI is 1.13-2.30; trend P is 0.02), followed by the rest of the world (including South-East Asia, the Middle East, South America, North America, Europe and Africa) (HR is 1.41; 95% CI is 1.08-1.86; trend P is 0.01), while in China there is no significant correlation (HR is 1.04; 95% CI is 0.77-1.40; trend P is 0.38).
, higher white rice intake was associated with an increased risk of diabetes.
in South Asia, the association is most pronounced, while in other regions it is not.
