Abstract Title:
Vitamin D Status, Fiber Intake, and Type 2 Diabetes in U.S. Adults.
Abstract:
Vitamin D and fiber intake are nutritional factors that could affect the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), potentially by reducing insulin resistance. Therefore, we hypothesized that the influence of vitamin D on T2D might depend on fiber intake. This study investigated the association between vitamin D status and T2D according to fiber intake. The present study analyzed data from 9,656 American adults (≥20 years old) who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2010. The serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was used as a biomarker for vitamin D status. The T2D classification was based on two criteria: T2Dwas identified using only self-reported questionnaire data and T2Dwas identified based on both survey and laboratory data. The deficient vitamin D status (
