This is a longitudinal study that will collect demographic, anthropometric and dietary data to determine the relationships between meat and egg intake and the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes.

Subjects of the Adventist Health Study who are non-diabetic will provide demographic, anthropometric and dietary data at baseline. Meat and egg intake will be assessed with a validated quantitative food frequency intake questionnaire. The relationship between meat and egg intake and the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes will be determined using multivariate-adjusted logistic regression.
