Dietary patterns and obesity are associated with type 2 diabetes risk in elderly Chinese men: a machine learning approach
In this population of elderly Chinese males, unhealthy dietary patterns are positively associated with obesity and T2DM risk, whereas obesity itself showed an inverse relationship with T2DM. These findings underscore the importance of promoting nutrient-dense diets and targeted lifestyle interventions to reduce T2DM risk in this population.
