Rice Consumption with Type 2 Diabetes in Japanese Men and Women: A
Prospective Study from the Japan Public Health Centre
Author(s): Nanie Akiko*
Background: Refined carbohydrates have been suggested to deteriorate glucose metabolism; however, whether persons with elevated intakes of white rice, which is a major staple food for the Japanese, experience increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes remains unclear.
Objective: We prospectively investigated the association between white rice intake and risk of type 2 diabetes.
Design: Participants were 25,666 men and 33,622 women aged 45–75 y who participated in the second survey of the Japan Public Health Center– based Prospective Study and who had no prior history of diabetes. We ascertained food intake by using a validated 147-item food-frequency questionnaire. Odds ratios of self-reported, physician-diagnosed type 2 diabetes over 5 y were estimated by using logistic regressions.
