The serum copper (Cu) to zinc (Zn) ratio could be an important determinant of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, but prospective epidemiological data are scarce. We aimed to investigate the association between T2D incidence and the dietary Cu/Zn ratio. A total of 70,991 women from the E3N cohort study were followed for 20 years. The intakes of copper and zinc were estimated at baseline using a validated food frequency questionnaire. We identified and validated 3292 incident T2D cases. Spline analysis showed that a Cu/Zn ratio < 0.55 was associated with a lower risk of T2D. Subgroup analyses comparing women in the highest versus the lowest quintile of Cu/Zn ratio showed the same pattern of association for obese women and those with zinc intake ≥8 mg/day. However, for women with zinc intake <8 mg/day, higher Cu/Zn ratio appeared to be associated with higher T2D risk. Our findings suggest that a lower dietary Cu/Zn ratio is associated with a lower T2D risk, especially among obese women and women with zinc intake >8 mg/day. Further studies are warranted to validate our results.

Abstract Objectives Trace elements are essential minerals that are required for a variety of biological processes. Zinc (Zn) is a trace element involved in many biological processes including regulation of insulin and glycaemia. It has been suggested that the serum copper (Cu) to Zn ratio could be of importance towards risk of diabetes. However, little is known about the effect of suboptimal intakes of these two competitive trace elements. We aimed to investigate the association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidence and the dietary Cu-Zn, ratio. Methods A total of 70,991 women from the E3N (Etude Epidémiologique auprès de femmes de la Mutuelle Générale de l'Education Nationale) cohort study were followed for 20 years. The individual daily energy-adjusted intakes of Cu and Zn were estimated at baseline using a validated food frequency questionnaire. T2D cases were identified and validated using diabetes-specific questionnaires and drug reimbursement insurance databases. Multivariable Cox regression models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) between dietary Cu-Zn ratio intakes and T2D risk. Interactions were tested between Cu-Zn ratio and smoking status and BMI on incident T2D. Results A total of 3292 incident T2D cases were identified during follow-up. A lower Cu-Zn ratio was associated with a lower risk of T2D. Compared to the 1st quintile group, women from the 2nd (HR 0.87 [95% CI 0.78, 0.97]) and 3rd (HR 0.89 [95% CI 0.79, 0.99]) quintile groups had a lower risk of T2D. Spline analysis showed that a Cu-Zn ratio intake &lt; 0.30 was associated with a lower risk of T2D and that there was no departure from a linear association (P = 0.1180). There was an interaction between the Cu-Zn ratio and BMI on T2D risk (pInteraction = 0.0010) but not smoking status (pInteraction = 0.6956). Cu-Zn ratio was positively associated with T2D only in obese women, but not in normal-weight or overweight women. Conclusions Our findings suggest that a lower dietary Cu-Zn ratio intake is associated with a lower T2D risk, especially among obese women. Further studies are warranted to validate our results and determine whether the associations are similar in men.
