Key Takeaways
  • Higher dietary methionine percentage was associated with increased elevated fasting glucose risk with OR 2.03 (95% CI 1.61–2.57).
  • Higher dietary threonine percentage was positively associated with elevated fasting glucose risk with OR 1.59 (95% CI 1.32–1.92).
  • Higher dietary arginine and tyrosine percentages were inversely associated with elevated fasting glucose risk with ORs 0.82 and 0.71 respectively.
