摘要

The multinational prospective EPIC-InterAct case-cohort; study was nested within the wider EPIC study and included 12,132 individuals with T2DM and a control group of 15,919 randomly selected EPIC participants. Incident T2DM was determined by review of multiple sources of data (primary and secondary care registers, hospital admissions, medication use, self-report and mortality). For all participants, levels of plasma phospholipid SFAs were measured at baseline using gas chromatography; lifestyle demographics (smoking status, medical history, education level, physical activity level and dietary habits) were alsty collected by use of validated questionnaires.
