Population attributable fraction for type 2 diabetes calculated in the subcohort (n total = 15,450) of the InterAct study

Other food sources of protein to replace red and processed meat with*	Population attributable fraction (95% CI)†
Cheese	8.8% (3.1 to 13.6)
Yogurt	8.3% (3.3 to 12.7)
Nuts	7.5% (3.3 to 11.3)
Cereals	17.1% (−6.7 to 33.3)

^*Serving sizes were 200 g/day for milk; 70 g/day for yogurt; 50 g/day for red and processed meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and legumes; 30 g/day for cheese and cereals; and 10 g/day for nuts.

^†CIs were derived from a bootstrap procedure of the difference between the predicted IR for the overall subcohort and the predicted IR for the relevant replacements divided by the overall IR using 1,000 replicates.
