Planetary health diet, other plant-based diets and risk of type 2 diabetes: a prospective study from the UK Biobank
In this large cohort of British adults, higher adherence to the PHDI was associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes, with effect sizes comparable to or greater than those observed for other well-known PBDs. These findings support the promotion of the PHDI and PBDs as an environmentally sustainable choice with potential to reduce type 2 diabetes risk.
