Description
Summary:This study assessed the relationship between dietary habits and diabetes mellitus prevalence in Serbia. The consumption of dairy products (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.03–1.30; p = 0.017) and fruits (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.19–1.44; p < 0.001) was associated with diabetes mellitus in males, whereas the consumption of margarine still reached statistical significance (OR = 5.33, 95% CI = 1.00–28.72; p = 0.050). The use of margarine (OR = 4.69, 95% CI = 1.35–16.32; p = 0.015) and lard (OR = 2.38, 95% CI = 1.10–5.12; p = 0.027) was associated with a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus in females. A lower prevalence of diabetes mellitus in females was associated with bread consumption, pertaining to half-white bread (p = 0.027) and integral bread (p = 0.011).
