RESUMEN

Early detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an urgent ophthalmological problem in Russia and globally. PURPOSE: This study assesses the prevalence of asymptomatic retinopathy and attempts to identify risk groups for its development in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM and T2DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study involved clinics from 5 cities in the Russian Federation and it included 367 patients with DM, 34.88% men and 65.12% women, aged 50.88±20.55 years. 34.88% of patients suffered from T1DM, 65.12% suffered from T2DM, the average duration of the disease was 9.02±7.22 years. 58.31% of patients had a history of arterial hypertension, 13.08% had a history of smoking. The primary endpoint was the frequency of detection of diabetic changes in the eye fundus of patients with T1DM and T2DM in general; the secondary endpoint - same but separately, and for T2DM patients depending on the duration of the disease. The exploratory endpoint was the assessment of the influence of various factors on the development of DR. The patients underwent visometry (modified ETDRS table), biomicroscopy, mydriatic fundus photography according to the «2 fields¼ protocol. RESULTS: The average detection rate of DR was 12.26%, primarily observed in patients with T2DM (13.81%), women (9.26%), in both eyes (8.17%). Among patients with DR, 26 (19.55%) had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level exceeding 7.5% (p=0.002), indicating a direct relationship between this indicator and the incidence of DR. Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of diabetes of more than 10 years has a statistically significant effect on the development of DR. In the modified model for odds estimation, the likelihood of developing DR is increased by the duration of DM for more than 10 years; increased blood pressure; HbA1c level >7.5%. CONCLUSION: The obtained results, some of which will be presented in subsequent publications, highlight the effectiveness of using two-field mydriatic fundus photography as a screening for DR.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke are significant global health concerns. However, gaps persist in understanding the impact of these disorders on women of reproductive age in Central Asia. This study aimed to analyze the health policies implemented in Central Asian countries to address the healthcare needs of this demographic and to forecast future trends in prevalence rates. Methodology: We forecasted future trends in prevalence rates, years of life lost, years lived with disability, and disability-adjusted life years for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke using publicly available data. Two data sources were utilized: health policy documents issued by the governments of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, and data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Forecasting models, including ARIMA, were employed to predict trends until 2030. Results: The results indicate an anticipated increase in cardiovascular disease prevalence from 1856.55 in 2020 to 2007.07 by 2029 in Kazakhstan, a subtle increase in Kyrgyzstan from 2492.22 to 2558.69 over 10 years, and similar trends in other countries. Conclusion: The analysis of policy documents revealed a lack of specific focus on addressing cardiovascular disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes outside the contexts of pregnancy and childbirth. Understanding these trends is crucial for informing targeted health interventions and resource allocation to mitigate the impact of these diseases on women's health in Central Asia.

RESUMEN

Background: Sodium‒glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors offer glycaemic and cardiorenal benefits in the early stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the use of SGLT2 inhibitors may increase the risk of genitourinary tract infection (GUTI). Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may also cause deterioration of kidney function. The long-term follow-up of cardiorenal outcomes and GUTI incidence in patients with advanced CKD receiving SGLT2 inhibitors combined with ACEIs/ARBs should be further investigated. Methods: We analysed data from 5,503 patients in Taiwan's Taipei Medical University Research Database (2016-2020) who were part of a pre-end-stage renal disease (ESRD) program (CKD stages 3-5) and received ACEIs/ARBs. SGLT2 inhibitor users were matched 1:4 with nonusers on the basis of sex, CKD, and program entry duration. Results: The final cohort included 205 SGLT2 inhibitor users and 820 nonusers. SGLT2 inhibitor users experienced a significant reduction in ESRD/dialysis risk (aHR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.190.67), and SGLT2 inhibitor use was not significantly associated with acute kidney injury or acute kidney disease risk. Among SGLT2 inhibitor users, those with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) had greater CVD rates. Conversely, those without a CVD history had lower rates of congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, acute pulmonary oedema, and acute myocardial infarction, although the differences were not statistically significant. Notably, SGLT2 inhibitor usage was associated with a greater GUTI incidence (aHR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.122.84) shortly after initiation, irrespective of prior GUTI history status. Conclusion: Among patients with CKD stages 3-5, SGLT2 inhibitor use was linked to increased GUTI incidence, but it also significantly reduced the ESRD/dialysis risk without an episodic AKI or AKD risk. Clinical physicians should consider a personalized medicine approach by balancing GUTI episodes and cardiorenal outcomes for advanced CKD patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitors.

RESUMEN

This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between alcohol consumption and the onset of type 2 diabetes in middle-aged Japanese individuals. Participants were aged 40 and above from Panasonic Corporation, Osaka, Japan's medical health checkup program from 2008 to 2021. Alcohol consumption was calculated by converting the quantity consumed into daily ethanol consumption. We assessed the association between alcohol consumption and the onset of type 2 diabetes using Cox regression analysis. The total and median follow-up duration was 13 years and 7 (3-13) years (748,090 person-years). Among 102,802 participants, 7,510 participants (7.3%) developed type 2 diabetes during the study period. Alcohol consumption at the level of 0 < to < 22 g/day and 22 to < 39 g/day were negatively associated with developing type 2 diabetes compared to complete alcohol abstainers. Alcohol consumption at levels of 39 to < 66 g/day and at levels of ≥ 66 g/day were positively associated with developing type 2 diabetes in participants with BMI < 25 kg/m2. All levels of alcohol consumption were negatively associated with developing type 2 diabetes in participants with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Moderate-to-heavy alcohol consumption were positively associated with developing type 2 diabetes for participants with BMI < 25 kg/m2, whereas alcohol intake was negatively associated with developing type 2 diabetes among participants with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.

RESUMEN

This study investigated osteoporosis risk factors among older Asian men with type-2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or hyperlipidaemia in primary care. Advanced age, dementia, depression, and polypharmacy were associated with higher risks for osteoporosis. Screening strategies targeting these factors are crucial for improving bone health as part of comprehensive preventive care. PURPOSE: Asian patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, or hyperlipidaemia (DHL) are predominantly managed in primary care. They are also at risk of osteoporosis, but men are often under-screened and under-treated for this preventable bone disorder. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics and risk factors of osteoporosis among older men with DHL in primary care for early intervention. METHODS: This retrospective study included men aged 65 years and older managed in public primary care clinics for their DHL between 1st July 2017 and 30th June 2018. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were extracted from their electronic medical records based on their International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) diagnosis codes. Descriptive statistical analyses, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05, were conducted, followed by generalized estimating equation (GEE) modelling. RESULTS: Medical records of 17,644 men (83.1% Chinese, 16.9% minority ethnic groups, median age 71 years) were analysed. 2.3% of them had diagnosis of osteoporosis, 0.15% had fragility fracture, and 26.0% of those diagnosed with osteoporosis were treated with bisphosphonates. Their mean HbA1c was 6.9%; mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 133 and 69 mmHg. The GEE model showed that age (OR = 1.07, 95%CI = 1.05-1.09, p < 0.001), dementia (OR = 2.24, 95%CI = 1.33-3.77, p = 0.002), depression (OR = 2.38, 95%CI = 1.03-5.50, p = 0.043), and polypharmacy (OR = 6.85, 95%CI = 3.07-15.26, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with higher risks for osteoporosis. CONCLUSION: Age, dementia, depression, and polypharmacy are associated with osteoporosis risks in men with DHL. Strategies to incorporate osteoporosis screening among older men with these risk factors are needed to improve their bone health.

RESUMEN

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent health challenge faced by countries worldwide. In this study, we propose a novel large language multimodal models (LLMMs) framework incorporating multimodal data from clinical notes and laboratory results for diabetes risk prediction. We collected five years of electronic health records (EHRs) dating from 2017 to 2021 from a Taiwan hospital database. This dataset included 1,420,596 clinical notes, 387,392 laboratory results, and more than 1505 laboratory test items. Our method combined a text embedding encoder and multi-head attention layer to learn laboratory values, and utilized a deep neural network (DNN) module to merge blood features with chronic disease semantics into a latent space. In our experiments, we observed that integrating clinical notes with predictions based on textual laboratory values significantly enhanced the predictive capability of the unimodal model in the early detection of T2DM. Moreover, we achieved an area greater than 0.70 under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for new-onset T2DM prediction, demonstrating the effectiveness of leveraging textual laboratory data for training and inference in LLMs and improving the accuracy of new-onset diabetes prediction.

RESUMEN

Background: Extensive observational evidence has suggested an association between depression and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the causal relationships between these two diseases require further investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the bidirectional causal effect between two types of depression and T2D using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods: We applied two-step MR techniques, using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as the genetic instruments for analysis. We utilized summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for major depression (MD), depressive status (frequency of depressed mood in the last two weeks), T2D, and other known T2D risk factors such as obesity, sedentary behavior (time spent watching television), and blood pressure. The analysis utilized inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median, weighted mode, MR pleiotropy residual sum, and outlier methods to determine potential causal relationships. Results: The study found that MD was positively associated with T2D, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.26 (95% CI: 1.10-1.43, p = 5.6×10-4) using the IVW method and an OR of 1.21 (95% CI: 1.04-1.41, p = 0.01) using the weighted median method. Depressive status was also positively associated with T2D, with an OR of 2.26 (95% CI: 1.03-4.94, p = 0.04) and an OR of 3.62 (95% CI: 1.33-9.90, p = 0.01) using the IVW and weighted median methods, respectively. No causal effects of MD and depressive status on T2D risk factors were observed, and T2D did not influence these factors. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates a causal relationship between depression and an increased risk of developing T2D, with both major depression and depressive status being positively associated with T2D.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The four variable kidney failure (KF) risk equation (KFRE) is recommended to estimate KF risk (ie, need for dialysis or kidney transplantation). Earlier referral to clinical kidney services for people with high-risk of kidney failure can ensure appropriate care, education and support are in place pre-emptively. There are limited data on investigating the performance of KFRE in estimating risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The primary ESKD endpoint event was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <10 mL/min/1.73 m2 and secondary endpoint eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied 7296 people (30% women, 41% African-Caribbean, 45% Caucasian) with T2DM and CKD (eGFR median (range) 48 (15-59) mL/min/1.73 m2) were included at two hospitals in London (median follow-up 10.2 years). Time to ESKD event was the endpoint and Concordance index (C-index) was used to assess KFRE's discrimination of those experiencing ESKD from those who did not. Mean (integrated calibration index (ICI)) and 90th percentile (E90) of the difference between observed and predicted risks were used as calibration metrics. RESULTS: Of the cohort 746 (10.2%) reached ESKD primary event (135 (1.9%) and 339 (4.5%) over 2 and 5 years, respectively). Similarly, 1130 (15.5%) reached the secondary endpoint (270 (3.7%) and 547 (7.5%) over 2 and 5 years, respectively). The C-index for the primary endpoint was 0.842 (95% CI 0.836 to 0.848) and 0.816 (95% CI 0.812 to 0.820) for 2 and 5 years, respectively. KFRE 'under-predicted' ESKD risk overall and by ethnic group. Likewise, the C-index for secondary endpoint was 0.843 (0.839-0.847) and 0.801 (0.798-0.804) for 2 and 5 years, respectively. KFRE performance analysis performed more optimally with the primary endpoint with 50% enhancement of the calibration metrics than with the secondary endpoint. KFRE recalibration improved ICI by 50% and E90 by more than 78%. CONCLUSIONS: Although derived for predicting KF, KFRE also demonstrated good discrimination for ESKD outcome. Further studies are needed to identify variables/biomarkers that may improve KFRE's performance/calibration and to aid the development of other predictive models to enable early identification of people at risk of advanced stages of CKD prior to onset of KF.

RESUMEN

Activin A, a cytokine belonging to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß) superfamily, mediates a multifunctional signaling pathway that is essential for embryonic development, cell differentiation, metabolic regulation, and physiological equilibrium. Biomedical research using diabetes-based model organisms and cellular cultures reports evidence of different activin A levels between diabetic and control groups. Activin A is highly conserved across species and universally expressed among disparate tissues. A systematic review of published literatures on human populations reveals association of plasma activin A levels with diabetic patients in some (7) but not in others (5) of the studies. With summarized data from publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWASs), a two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) analysis is conducted on the causality between the exposure and the outcome. Wald ratio estimates from single instruments are predominantly non-significant. In contrast to positive controls between diabetes and plasma cholesterol levels, inverse-variance-weighted (IVW), Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode MR methods all lead to no observed causal link between diabetes (type 1 and type 2) and plasma activin A levels. Unavailability of strong instruments prevents the reversal MR analysis of activin A on diabetes. In summary, further research is needed to confirm or deny the potential association between diabetes and plasma activin A, and to elucidate the temporal incidence of these traits in human populations. At this stage, no causality has been found between diabetes and plasma activin A based on TSMR analysis.

RESUMEN

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent metabolic disorder strongly linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Understanding the predictive value of lipid parameters in identifying abnormal glucose metabolism in NAFLD patients is crucial for early intervention. Methods: This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES) database (2017-2020) involving 1066 NAFLD patients. Participants were categorized into three groups: T2DM (n=414), prediabetes mellitus (pre-DM) (n=507), and normoglycemia (NG) (n=145). Traditional lipid parameters [triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] and nontraditional lipid parameters [atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), residual cholesterol (RC), and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C)] were evaluated for their association with T2DM and pre-DM. Results: Elevated TG levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of T2DM and pre-DM, whereas high HDL-C demonstrated a protective effect. Among nontraditional lipid parameters, increased AIP and RC were most strongly associated with T2DM risk, while high non-HDL-C was best associated with the development of pre-DM. Stratified analyses revealed that these associations were stronger in younger, non-obese, smoking, and female NAFLD patients. Conclusion: Nontraditional lipid parameters, particularly AIP and RC, show superior predictive value over traditional lipid parameters in identifying abnormal glucose metabolism in NAFLD patients. Incorporating these novel biomarkers into clinical practice could enhance early detection and prevention strategies for T2DM and pre-DM in this high-risk population.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The worldwide prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults is experiencing a rapid increase. This study aimed to identify the factors affecting the survival of prediabetic patients using a comparison of the Cox proportional hazards model (CPH) and the Random survival forest (RSF). METHOD: This prospective cohort study was performed on 746 prediabetics in southwest Iran. The demographic, lifestyle, and clinical data of the participants were recorded. The CPH and RSF models were used to determine the patients' survival. Furthermore, the concordance index (C-index) and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were employed to compare the performance of the Cox proportional hazards (CPH) model and the random survival forest (RSF) model. RESULTS: The 5-year cumulative T2DM incidence was 12.73%. Based on the results of the CPH model, NAFLD (HR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.06, 2.85), FBS (HR = 1.008, 95% CI: 1.005, 1.012) and increased abdominal fat (HR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.04) were directly associated with diabetes occurrence in prediabetic patients. The RSF model suggests that factors including FBS, waist circumference, depression, NAFLD, afternoon sleep, and female gender are the most important variables that predict diabetes. The C-index indicated that the RSF model has a higher percentage of agreement than the CPH model, and in the weighted Brier Score index, the RSF model had less error than the Kaplan-Meier and CPH model. CONCLUSION: Our findings show that the incidence of diabetes was alarmingly high in Iran. The results suggested that several demographic and clinical factors are associated with diabetes occurrence in prediabetic patients. The high-risk population needs special measures for screening and care programs.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The potential preventive effect of fenofibrate on lower extremity amputation (LEA) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not fully elucidated. METHODS: We selected adult patients ≥ 20 years of age with T2D from the Korean National Health Insurance Service Database (2009-2012). The fenofibrate users were matched in a 1:4 ratio with non-users using propensity scores (PS). The outcome variables were a composite of LEA and PAD and the individual components. The risks of outcomes were implemented as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). For safety issues, the risks of acute kidney injury, rhabdomyolysis and resulting hospitalization were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 114,920 patients was included in the analysis with a median follow-up duration of 7.6 years (22,984 and 91,936 patients for the fenofibrate user and non-user groups, respectively). After PS matching, both groups were well balanced. The fenofibrate group was associated with significantly lower risks of composite outcome of LEA and PAD (HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.70-0.94), LEA (HR 0.76; 95% CI 0.60-0.96), and PAD (HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.68-0.96). The risk of acute kidney injury, rhabdomyolysis, or hospitalization for these events showed no significant difference between the two groups. Subgroup analyses revealed consistent benefits across age groups, genders, and baseline lipid profiles. CONCLUSIONS: This nationwide population-based retrospective observational study suggests that fenofibrate can prevent LEA and PAD in patients with T2D who are on statin therapy.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common pregnancy complications worldwide and the prevalence is continuously rising globally. Importantly, GDM is not an isolated complication of pregnancy. Growing evidence suggests that individuals with GDM, compared to those without GDM, have an increased risk of subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Substantial racial and ethnic disparities exist in the risk of GDM. However, the role of race and ethnicity in the progression from GDM to T2D and CVD remains unclear. The purpose of the current review is to summarize recent research about GDM and its life-course impacts on cardiometabolic health, including 1) the peak time of developing T2D and CVD risks after GDM, 2) the racial and ethnic disparities in the risk cardiometabolic diseases after GDM, 3) the biological plausibility and underlying mechanisms, and 4) recommendations for screening and prevention of cardiometabolic diseases among individuals with GDM, collectively to provide an updated review to guide future research. RECENT FINDINGS: Growing evidence has indicated that individuals with GDM had greater risks of T2D (7.4 to 9.6 times), hypertension (78% higher), and CDV events (74% higher) after GDM than their non-GDM counterparts. More recently, a few studies also suggested that GDM could slightly increase the risk of mortality. Available evidence suggests that key CVD risk factors such as blood pressure, plasma glucose, and lipids levels are all elevated as early as < 1 year postpartum in individuals with GDM. The risk of T2D and hypertension is likely to reach a peak between 3-6 years after the index pregnancy with GDM compared to normal glycemia pregnancy. Cumulative evidence also suggests that the risk of cardiometabolic diseases including T2D, hypertension, and CVD events after GDM varies by race and ethnicity. However, whether the risk is higher in certain racial and ethnic groups and whether the pattern may vary by the postpartum cardiometabolic outcome of interest remain unclear. The underlying mechanisms linking GDM and subsequent T2D and CVD are complex, often involving multiple pathways and their interactions, with the specific mechanisms varying by individuals of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Diabetes and CVD risk screening among individuals with GDM should be initiated early during postpartum and continue, if possible, frequently. Unfortunately, adherence to postpartum glucose testing with either obstetrician or primary care providers remained poor among individuals with GDM. A life-course perspective may provide critical information to address clinical and public health gaps in postpartum screening and interventions for preventing T2D and CVD risks in individuals with GDM. Future research investigating the racial- and ethnic-specific risk of progression from GDM to cardiometabolic diseases and the role of multi-domain factors including lifestyle, biological, and socio-contextual factors are warranted to inform tailored and culture-appropriate interventions for high-risk subpopulations. Further, examining the barriers to postpartum glucose testing among individuals with GDM is crucial for the effective prevention of cardiometabolic diseases and for enhancing life-long health.

RESUMEN

Metabolic diseases result from interactions between genetic and lifestyle factors. Understanding the combined influences of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and lifestyle is crucial. This study employs genetic risk scores (GRS) to assess SNPs, providing insight beyond single gene/SNP studies by revealing synergistic effects. Here, we aim to investigate the association of a 23-SNP GRS with metabolic disease-related traits (obesity and type 2 diabetes) to understand if these associations are altered by lifestyle/dietary factors. For this study, 106 Minangkabau women were included and underwent physical, anthropometric, biochemical, dietary and genetic evaluations. The interaction of GRS with lifestyle factors was analyzed using linear regression models, adjusting for potential confounders. No statistically significant associations were observed between GRS and metabolic traits; however, this study demonstrates a novel interaction observed between 13-SNP GRS and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) intake, and that it had an effect on HbA1c levels (p = 0.026). Minangkabau women with low MUFA intake (≤7.0 g/day) and >13 risk alleles had significantly higher HbA1c levels (p = 0.010). This finding has implications for public health, suggesting the need for large-scale studies to confirm our results before implementing dietary interventions in the Indonesian population. Identifying genetic influences on dietary response can inform personalized nutrition strategies to reduce the risk of metabolic disease.

RESUMEN

Our meta-analysis aimed to quantify the association between Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and several risk factors including obesity, smoking, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and cumulative index to nursing and allied health literature for articles reporting either the odds ratio (OR) or the numbers of HS cases associated with obesity, smoking, or T2DM, and including HS negative controls. Risk of bias was assessed against the risk of bias in non-randomized studies of interventions tool. Data synthesis was done using the random effects model with heterogeneity being evaluated with I2 statistic. Twenty-three studies with a total of 29 562 087 patients (average age of 36.6 years) were included. Ten studies relied on country-level data, while six studies collected their data from HS clinics. The analysis showed a significant association between HS and female sex (OR 2.34, 95% CI 1.89-2.90, I2 = 98.6%), DM (OR 2.78, 95% CI 2.23-3.47, I2 = 98.9%), obesity (OR 2.48, 95% CI 1.64-3.74, I2 = 99.9%), and smoking (OR 3.10 95% CI 2.60-3.69, I2 = 97.1%). Our meta-analysis highlights HS links to sex, DM, obesity, and smoking, with emphasis on holistic management approach. Further research is needed on molecular mechanisms and additional risk factors for improved patient care.

RESUMEN

Background: The minor G-allele of FOXO3 rs2802292 is associated with human longevity. The aim of this study was to test the protective effect of the variant against the association with type 2 Diabetes and NAFLD. Methods: rs2802292 was genotyped in a large population of middle-aged subjects (n = 650) from a small city in Southern Italy. All participants were interviewed to collect information about lifestyle and dietary habits; clinical characteristics were recorded, and blood samples were collected from all subjects. The association between rs2802292 and NAFLD or diabetes was tested using a logistic model and mediation analysis adjusted for covariates. Results: Overall, the results indicated a statistical association between diabetes and rs2802292, especially for the TT genotype (OR = 2.14, 1.01 to 4.53 95% C.I., p = 0.05) or in any case for those who possess the G-allele (OR = 0.45, 0.25 to 0.81 95% C.I., p = 0.008). Furthermore, we found a mediation effect of rs2802292 on diabetes (as mediator) and NAFLD. There is no direct relationship between rs2802292 and NAFLD, but the effect is direct (ß = 0.10, -0.003 to 0.12 95% C.I., p = 0.04) on diabetes, but only in TT genotypes. Conclusions: The data on our cohort indicate that the longevity-associated FOXO3 variant may have protective effects against diabetes and NAFLD.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: There are significant sex differences in the incidence of stroke or diabetes mellitus. However, little is known about sex differences in stroke rehospitalization among diabetic patients. OBJECT: To explore the sex differences in short-term and long-term rehospitalization of ischemic stroke patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2017 to 2021. The rehospitalization events of ischemic stroke patients with diabetes mellitus were identified by the national unified Electronic Health Record. Propensity score matching was applied to adjust for multiple covariates, and LASSO regression was used to screen for independent variables. Cox proportional hazards model was utilized to analyze the different sex in short-term (90 days, 1 year) and long-term (5 years) rehospitalization in ischemic stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. RESULT: A total of 10,724 ischemic stroke patients were included in this study, of whom 5,952 (55.5%) were males. After a 1:1 propensity score matching, there were 3,460 males and 2,772 females. After adjusting for confounding factors, female patients with type 2 diabetes had an increased risk of ischemic stroke rehospitalization at 90 days (HR: 1.94, 95%CI: 1.13-3.33, P < 0.05), 1 year (HR: 1.65, 95%CI:1.22-2.23, P = 0.001), and 5 years (HR: 1.58, 95%CI: 1.26-1.97, P < 0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between male patients with type 2 diabetes and the risk of ischemic stroke rehospitalization, either in the short or long term. CONCLUSION: Females with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of ischemic stroke rehospitalization in both the short-term and long-term.

RESUMEN

To date, the best obesity-related indicators (ORIs) for predicting hypertension, dyslipidaemia, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and multimorbidity are still controversial. This study assessed the ability of 17 ORIs [body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BF%), c-index, Clínica Universidad de Navarra-Body Adiposity Estimator (CUN-BAE), a body shape index (ABSI), body adiposity index (BAI), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body roundness index (BRI), abdominal volume index (AVI), triglyceride glucose index (TYG), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), waist triglyceride index (WTI) and cardiometabolic index (CMI)] to predict hypertension, dyslipidemia, T2DM, and multimorbidity in populations aged 40-69 years. From November 2017 to December 2022, 10,432 compliant residents participated in this study. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess the ability of ORIs to predict target diseases across the whole population and genders. The DeLong test was used to analyse the heterogeneity of area under curves (AUCs). Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyse the association of ORIs with hypertension, dyslipidaemia, T2DM, and multimorbidity. The prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, T2DM, and multimorbidity was 67.46%, 39.36%, 12.54% and 63.58%, respectively. After excluding ORIs associated with the target disease components, in the whole population, CVAI (AUC = 0.656), BMI (AUC = 0.655, not significantly different from WC and AVI), CVAI (AUC = 0.645, not significantly different from LAP, CMI, WHR, and WTI), and TYG (AUC = 0.740) were the best predictor of hypertension, dyslipidemia, T2DM, and multimorbidity, respectively (all P < 0.05). In the male population, BF% (AUC = 0.677), BMI (AUC = 0.698), CMI (AUC = 0.648, not significantly different from LAP and CVAI), and TYG (AUC = 0.741) were the best predictors (all P < 0.05). In the female population, CVAI (AUC = 0.677), CUN-BAE (AUC = 0.623, not significantly different from BF%, WC, WHR, WHtR, BRI and BMI), CVAI (AUC = 0.657, not significantly different from WHR), TYG (AUC = 0.740) were the best predictors (all P < 0.05). After adjusting for all covariates, all ORIs were significantly associated with hypertension, dyslipidaemia, T2DM, and multimorbidity (all P < 0.05), except for ABSI and hypertension and BAI and T2DM, which were insignificant. Ultimately, after considering the heterogeneity of prediction of ORIs among different populations, for hypertension, BF% was the best indicator for men and CVAI for the rest of the population. The best predictors of dyslipidaemia, T2DM, and multimorbidity were BMI, CVAI and TYG, respectively. Screening for common chronic diseases in combination with these factors may help to improve the effectiveness.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Sleep is an essential factor for health and wellbeing in people across the age spectrum; yet many adolescents do not meet the recommended 8-10 h of nightly sleep. Unfortunately, habitually insufficient sleep, along with the metabolic changes of puberty, puts adolescents at increased risk for a host of adverse health outcomes such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Furthermore, individuals from historically minoritized racial and ethnic groups (e.g. Hispanic/Latinx, African American/Black) are more likely to experience shorter sleep duration compared to adolescents of White/European origin, placing them at even greater risk for disparities in T2D risk. METHODS: We conducted a literature review on the role of race and ethnicity in adolescent sleep health and its relation to cardiometabolic outcomes, specifically T2D. We use the minority stress model and the stress and coping theory as guiding theoretical frameworks to examine individual and societal level factors that may contribute to sleep health disparities and their downstream effects on T2D risk. RESULTS: This review highlights that the unique race-related stressors adolescents from minoritized groups face may play a role in the sleep and T2D connection on a biological, psychological, and social level. However, although there has been advancement in the current research on adolescent racial and ethnic sleep health disparities in relation to T2D, mechanisms underlying these disparities in sleep health need further investigation. Addressing these gaps is crucial for identifying and mitigating sleep health disparities and T2D among racial and ethnic minority youth. CONCLUSION: We conclude with a discussion of the implications and future research directions of racial and ethnic disparities in sleep health and T2D prevention research. A comprehensive understanding of adolescent sleep health disparities has potential to better inform preventative and educational programs, interventions, and policies that promote sleep health equity and improve cardiometabolic outcomes like T2D.

RESUMEN

Background: As the world population recovers from the COVID-19 infection, a series of acute sequelae emerge including new incident diabetes. However, the association between COVID-19 infection and new incident diabetes is not fully understood. We purpose to determine the risk of new incident diabetes after COVID-19 infection. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were used as databases to search for cohort studies published from database inception to February 4, 2024. Two reviewers independently conducted the study screening, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. A random-effects model was adopted to pool the hazard ratio (HR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subgroup analysis was conducted to explore the potential influencing factors. Results: A total of 20 cohort studies with over 60 million individuals were included. The pooling analysis illustrates the association between COVID-19 infection and an increased risk of new incident diabetes (HR = 1.46; 95% CI: 1.38-1.55). In subgroup analysis, the risk of type 1 diabetes was HR=1.44 (95% CI: 1.13-1.82), and type 2 diabetes was HR=1.47 (95% CI: 1.36-1.59). A slightly higher risk of diabetes was found in males (HR=1.37; 95% CI: 1.30-1.45) than in females (HR=1.29; 95% CI: 1.22-1.365). The risk of incident diabetes is associated with hospitalization: non-hospitalized patients have an HR of 1.16 (95% CI: 1.07-1.26), normal hospitalized patients have an HR of 2.15 (95% CI: 1.33-3.49), and patients receiving intensive care have the highest HR of 2.88 (95% CI: 1.73-4.79). Conclusions: COVID-19 infection is associated with an elevated risk of new incident diabetes. Patients ever infected with COVID-19 should be recognized as a high-risk population with diabetes.
