Figure 2. Association between dietary energy density and incident type 2 diabetes in Europe among plausible dietary reporters of energy with a normal body weight^1–3.

HR: hazard ratio per 1 kcal/g increase in energy density; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval for the HR. ¹ Dietary energy density based on solid foods only. ²Adjusted for age, sex, smoking status (never, former, current), physical activity (inactive, moderate inactive, moderate active, active), alcohol (g/day), energy intake from beverages (kcal). ³ Normal weight is defined as a BMI<25 kg/m² and plausible reporting of diet is defined as a ratio of energy intake versus estimated basal metabolic rate between 1.14 and 2.1.
