Dietary patterns, socioeconomic disparities, and risk of type 2 diabetes in the Sister Study
Authors' conclusion
Weaker associations among women with lower socioeconomic status and higher neighborhood deprivation suggests that other factors play a larger role in T2D incidence than diet quality among individuals with low SES.
