Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
No Nuts
All other foods that did not include walnuts or other nuts were classified as "no nuts" (NN).
Diabetes Outcome
based on self report definition, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c
Other Nuts
Foods codes describing nuts that are not walnuts (i.e. cashew nuts, pistachios, etc.) or nut-containing foods that do not commonly contain walnuts (e.g. granola) were classified as "other nuts" (ON).
Diabetes Outcome
based on self report definition, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c
Walnuts with other nuts
food codes describing nut mixes and foods that commonly include walnuts were classified as "walnuts with other nuts" (WwON)
Diabetes Outcome
based on self report definition, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c
Walnuts with high certainty
Foods consisting entirely or mostly of walnuts were classified as "walnuts with high certainty" (WwHC)
Diabetes Outcome
based on self report definition, fasting plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c
