Design And Methods

IntroductionSouth Asians (SA) and Pima Indians have high prevalence of diabetes but differ markedly in body size. We hypothesize that young SA will have higher diabetes incidence than Pima Indians at comparable body mass index (BMI) levels.Research design and methodsWe used prospective cohort data to estimate age-specific, sex, and BMI-specific diabetes incidence in SA aged 20–44 years living in India and Pakistan from the Center for Cardiometabolic Risk Reduction in South Asia Study (n=6676), and compared with Pima Indians, from Pima Indian Study (n=1852).ResultsAt baseline, SA were considerably less obese than Pima Indians (BMI (kg/m2): 24.4 vs 33.8; waist circumference (cm): 82.5 vs 107.0). Age-standardized diabetes incidence (cases/1000 person-years, 95% CI) was lower in SA than in Pima Indians (men: 14.2, 12.2–16.2 vs 37.3, 31.8–42.8; women: 14.8, 13.0–16.5 vs 46.1, 41.2–51.1). Risk of incident diabetes among 20–24-year-old Pima men and women was six times (relative risk (RR), 95% CI: 6.04, 3.30 to 12.0) and seven times (RR, 95% CI: 7.64, 3.73 to 18.2) higher as compared with SA men and women, respectively. In those with BMI <25 kg/m2, however, the risk of diabetes was over five times in SA men than in Pima Indian men. Among those with BMI ≥30 kg/m2, diabetes incidence in SA men was nearly as high as in Pima men. SA and Pima Indians had similar magnitude of association between age, sex, BMI, and insulin secretion with diabetes. The effect of family history was larger in SA, whereas that of insulin resistance was larger in Pima IndiansConclusionsIn the background of relatively low insulin resistance, higher diabetes incidence in SA is driven by poor insulin secretion in SA men. The findings call for research to improve insulin secretion in early natural history of diabetes.

Abstract Objectives Previous studies reported that dairy foods are associated with higher areal bone mineral density (BMD) in older adults. However, data on bone strength and bone microarchitecture are lacking. The objective of this study was to determine the association of milk, yogurt, cheese, cream, milk + yogurt and milk + yogurt + cheese intakes with high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) measures of bone in older adults from the Framingham Offspring study. Methods This cross-sectional study included 532 men and 694 women (aged 32–81y, mean 64y) with measures of dairy food intake (servings/wk.) from a food frequency questionnaire. Cortical and trabecular BMD and microarchitecture at the distal tibia and radius were measured using HR-pQCT. We focused on five bone parameters: 1) Bone strength assessed via failure load from micro–finite element analysis, 2) Two cortical bone measures: cortical BMD and cortical thickness; and 3) Two trabecular bone measures: trabecular bone density and trabecular number. Sex-combined and sex-specific multivariable linear regression was used to estimate the association of dairy food intake (energy adjusted) with each bone measure adjusting for covariates (sex, age, height, weight, current smoking, energy intake, calcium supplement use, vitamin D supplement use, physical activity and multivitamin use). Results Over 90% of the participants consumed the recommended ≥ 3 servings of dairy per day. Mean milk intake ± SD was 5.5 servings/week in both men and women. In sex combined analyses, only cheese intake was associated with cortical BMD at the radius and tibia (Table). None of the other dairy foods were significantly associated with any of the bone measures. In sex-stratified analysis higher cheese intake was associated with lower cortical BMD at the radius and tibia in women alone (radius: β = −9.61 ± 2.73, P = 0.001, tibia: β = −9.41 ± 3.10, P = 0.001). In men, higher cream intake was associated with higher trabecular number (radius: β = 0.021 ± 0.011, P = 0.02, tibia: β = 0.024 ± 0.012, P = 0.05). Higher yogurt intake was also associated with higher trabecular volumetric BMD at the tibia in men alone (tibia: β = 4.86 ± 2.00, P = 0.02). Conclusions In this cohort of primarily healthy older men and women with high dairy food consumption, specific dairy foods seem to be more beneficial in men than women. Negative associations for cheese intake and cortical BMD in women should be further confirmed in longitudinal studies.

After a decade of frenzied globalization, the rich of India welcome consumer goods and experiment with new arrangements between men and women. But because the economic opportunities of middle-class Indian men have not expanded, most of them merely welcome Western media images that reinforce their power and masculine self-image.
