Research Abstract	The study participants were 2,065 Japanese men and 1,487 Japanese women. Dietary glycemic index (GI) was assessed using a self-administered diet history questionnaire. During a 6-year follow up, 133 men and 31 women developed diabetes. Age and body mass index-adjusted hazard ratios for the highest GI quintile was 1.77 and was significantly higher than that for the lowest quintile in men. There was no significant association between GI and diabetes incidence in women. Our results indicate that dietary GI is associated with incidence of diabetes in Japanese men.
