Figure 1. Hazard ratios (95% CIs) of CVD incidence and mortality according to types of nut consumption after diabetes diagnosis*.
* Multivariate hazard ratio for CVD incidence and mortality among study participants who consumed nuts two or more servings per week versus those who consumed nuts less than one serving per month were adjusted for age (continuous), diabetes duration (years), sex (men or women), Caucasian (yes/no), BMI at diabetes diagnosis (<23.0, 23.0-24.9, 25.0-29.9, 30.0-34.9, ≥35.0 kg/m2), physical activity (<3.0, 3.0-8.9, 9.0-17.9, 18.0-26.9, ≥27.0 MET-hours/week), smoking status (never, past, current 1-14 cigarettes/day, current ≥15 cigarettes/day), alcohol consumption (0, 0.1-4.9, 5.0-14.9, ≥15.0 g/day), current aspirin use (yes/no), family history of MI or cancer (yes/no), presence of hypertension (yes/no), use of lipid-lowering medication (yes/no), diabetes medication use (insulin, oral medication, or others), and intake of total energy, red or processed meat, fruits, and vegetables (all in quartiles).
