- Study investigates the association between dietary choline and betaine intake and diabetes risk in Chinese adults.
- Data from 8595 men and 8561 women from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1991-2015) were analyzed.
- Diabetes was determined via self-reported diagnosis, medication use, fasting glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L, or HbA1c ≥6.5%.
- Moderate choline intake (235-380 mg/day in men, <315 mg/day in women) was linked to lower diabetes risk.
- Excessive choline intake increased diabetes risk, showing U-shaped (men) and J-shaped (women) associations.
- No significant association was found between dietary betaine intake and diabetes risk.
