| Summary: | Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic diseases in adults that is related to many factors including nutrition habits. In this study, we aimed to compare the frequency of nutritional behaviors between diabetic and healthy adults.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on middle-aged people (30-59 years) referred to primary health care centers in Isfahan city between 2015-2016. Two groups with 245 diabetics and 735 non-diabetics were included through convenient sampling and their nutritional behaviors were compared between them.Findings: The desirable consumption of dairy products is less common among diabetic patients. According to the multiple logistic regression analysis, undesirable consumption of fruit &vegetables, dairy products, fatty acids, and carbonated beverages are significantly associated with increased chances of diabetes mellitus (OR = 1.97, 26.97, 4.6, 2.01 respectively).Conclusion: The change in nutrition pattern in the communities can increase the chance of developing diabetes mellitus, however further studies are needed to evaluate risk factors in diabetic patients. |
