Relative risk of type 2 diabetes associated with ALA biomarker (as % of total fatty acids) in 6 prospective cohorts including 13,291 individuals and 1,833 incident diabetes cases. Within-study relative risks and 95% CI’s were quantified using generalized least squares trend estimation, and study-specific results were pooled using random effect meta-analysis. Pooling results using the alternative lipid compartment of biomarker measurements from Wang et al.(44) and Patel et al.(38) did not appreciably alter the results (per 0.1% of total fatty acids, RR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.85–1.02, P = 0.11).
