註釋Background: Obesity is associated with increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Diet, particularly dietary fibre, may be protective against T2D by reducing fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level and insulin resistance (IR). Aim: To investigate the relationship between diet and established risk markers and evaluate dietary pattern, focusing on dietary fibre intake, in a subset of normoglycaemic and prediabetic adults enrolled in the cross-sectional Thin on the Outside Fat on the Inside 'TOFI'_Asia study. Methods: 174 participants (99 European Caucasian, 75 Asian Chinese) underwent detailed measurements i.e. anthropometry, blood biochemistry and body composition for assessment of risk markers. They also completed a 103-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) with dietary patterns analysed, macronutrient and fibre intake quantified using FoodWorks. Results: Asian Chinese participants had significantly greater mean FPG (p
