1ORs were estimated using logistic regression model including meat and egg intakes and their interaction, adjusting for age, gender, energy, television hours, sleep hours, smoking, exercise, BMI, and intakes of refined grains, vegetables, soy, fruits, dairy, coffee, fish, and nuts/seeds. *P ≤ 0.01; interaction between egg and meat intake was significant (P = 0.019). T2D, type 2 diabetes.
