This study examined the associations of a flavonoid-rich diet, assessed using a Flavodiet Score (FDS), individual flavonoid-rich foods, and flavonoid subclasses with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk in the UK Biobank cohort. A higher FDS was associated with a 26% lower T2D risk, potentially mediated by improvements in body fatness, inflammation, kidney, and liver function. Higher intakes of black or green tea, berries, and apples were significantly associated with lower T2D risk. Higher intakes of various flavonoid subclasses also showed reduced T2D risk.
