Reports on Type 2 Diabetes from Xinhua Hospital Provide New Insights [Nut Consumption With Risk of Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Meta-analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies (Retraction of Vol 27, Pg Np6, 2020)]

摘要

2021 SEP 27 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Current study results on Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases and Conditions - Type 2 Diabetes have been published. According to news originating from Shanghai, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The consumption of nuts was reported to be associated with risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the results were inconclusive. The aim of this study was to systematically examine longitudinal studies investigating nut intake in relation to risk of hypertension and T2DM." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Xinhua Hospital, "A systematic search of the PubMed and EMBASE databases to 31 March 2013 was performed. Reference lists of retrieved articles were also screened. Summary relative risks (SRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model. Q and 1-2 statistics were used to examine between-study heterogeneity. A total of nine prospective cohort studies (three for hypertension and six for T2DM) were identified. Using random effects models, we found that based on the highest vs lowest analysis, nut consumption were inversely associated with risk of hypertension (SRR = 0.84, 95% Cl: 0.76-0.93,p(heterogeneity) = 0.831,1-2 = 0%). Dose-response analyses indicated that nut consumption at more than two servings/wk, but not ne serving/wk, had a preventative role in the hypertension. In addition, nut consumption was not associated with risk of T2DM (SRRs = 0.98, 95% Cl: 0.84-1.15;p(heterogeneity) = 0.008,1-2 = 67.7%) on the basis of the highest vs lowest analysis. This null association was also shown in the dose-response analysis."
