While animal protein (p= 0.001, OR=0.001), vegetables (p=0.003, OR = 0.17), fruits (p= 0.003, OR = 0.26) is a protective factor. The results of the analysis of food ingredients that did not show any relationship with the incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in productive age included vegetable protein (p = 1,000, OR = 1,000), dairy (p = 1,000, OR=1,000), nuts (p = 0.454, OR=1.654) and snacks (p = 0.523, OR = 1.87) as well as family history (p = 0.029, OR=2.636).
