Key result
Lower dairy saturated fat intake is linked to persistently higher baPWV in T2D patients.
Why the study?
Few studies have investigated the relationship between macronutrients and longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Is lower intake of saturated fatty acids associated with increased arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Cohort (n=733)
Is lower intake of saturated fatty acids associated with increased arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes?
In Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, lower intake of saturated fatty acids, particularly from dairy products, is associated with persistently higher arterial stiffness over 5 years.
Association does not support restricting dairy saturated fats in type 2 diabetes; leaves open causal effects on arterial stiffness.

Mita et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=733). Lower saturated fatty acid intake was evaluated on Longitudinal changes in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. Lower saturated fatty acid intake, particularly from dairy products, was significantly correlated with persistently higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity over 5 years in type 2 diabetes patients.
