Association between Intake of Fish and Shellfish and Milk and Dairy Products with Cardio Vascular Disease(CVD) Risk Factors in Middle‐Aged Female with Type 2 Diabetes(T2D)

Abstract

This study was aimed to examine the association between intake of fish and shellfish and milk and dairy products with CVD risk factors in 356 middle‐aged (40‐64 years) female with T2D. Dietary food intake was assessed by semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire method. The average daily intakes of fish and shellfish and milk and dairy products were 63.9 g and 127.5 g, respectively. After adjustment for age, body mass index and energy intake, multiple regression analysis showed that intake of fish and shellfish (p=0.0423) and milk and dairy products (p=0.0094) was negatively associated with serum triglyceride level. These results suggest that intake of fish and shellfish and milk and dairy products is associated with decreased CVD risk in middle‐aged female patients with T2D.[This research was supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education (NRF‐2013R1A1A2011544) and Brain Korea 21 Plus.]
