Dietary and lifestyle factors of diabetes in Inuit of Canada
Introduction: Among Inuit, rates of diabetes are currently increasing. Objectives: To investigate the lifestyle factors associated with newly identified glucose intolerance (GI) among Inuit. Methods: A cross-sectional study of a subsample of 813 adults with a 2-hr oral glucose tolerance test who par...

Objectives: To investigate the lifestyle factors associated with newly identified glucose intolerance (GI) among Inuit. Methods: A cross-sectional study of a subsample of 813 adults with a 2-hr oral glucose tolerance test who participated in the International Polar Year Inuit Health Survey (2007-2008). Those with pre-existing diabetes were excluded. Individual and dietary questionnaires and anthropometric measurements were also collected. Results: GI was associated with older age and a higher body mass index, %body fat, and waist circumference. Percent Energy protein and % Energy high-sugar drinks were positively associated with GI. Adjusting for those two aforementioned nutrients, %E traditional food was significantly protective (P<0.05). Fiber (g/d) was inversely and cholesterol (mg/d) was positively associated with risk for GI with a borderline significance (P< 0.10). Conclusion: These findings emphasize the need for dietary and lifestyle changes to prevent high rates of GI among Inuit. Introduction: Chez les Inuit, le taux de diabète courament à la hausse.
