Loneliness is associated with all-cause mortality and coronary heart disease. However, the prospective relationship between loneliness and type 2 diabetes onset is unclear.. ..A total of 264 (6.42%) participants developed type 2 diabetes over the follow-up period. Loneliness was a significant predictor of incident type 2 diabetes (HR 1.46; 95% CI 1.15, 1.84; p = 0.002) independent… Continue reading #Loneliness and type 2 #diabetes incidence: findings from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing

An atlas on risk factors for type 2 #diabetes: a wide-angled Mendelian randomisation study
..We found evidence of causal associations between 34 exposures (19 risk factors and 15 protective factors) and type 2 diabetes. Insomnia was identified as a novel risk factor (OR 1.17 [95% CI 1.11, 1.23]). The other 18 risk factors were depression, systolic BP, smoking initiation, lifetime smoking, coffee (caffeine) consumption, plasma isoleucine, valine and leucine,… Continue reading An atlas on risk factors for type 2 #diabetes: a wide-angled Mendelian randomisation study
Associations of #Sleep Disordered #Breathing and Insomnia with Incident #Hypertension and #Diabetes: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos
Rationale: Sleep disorders are associated with hypertension and diabetes, primary risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and mortality. It is important to understand these associations in Hispanics/Latinos, in whom cardiovascular death is the leading cause of mortality. Objectives: To investigate the prospective associations of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and insomnia with incident hypertension and diabetes among… Continue reading Associations of #Sleep Disordered #Breathing and Insomnia with Incident #Hypertension and #Diabetes: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos
Risk of #amputation with #canagliflozin across categories of age and cardiovascular risk in three US nationwide databases: cohort study
..Results Across the three databases, 310 840 propensity score matched adults who started canagliflozin or a GLP-1 agonist were identified. The hazard ratio and rate difference per 1000 person years for amputation in adults receiving canagliflozin compared with a GLP-1 agonist for each group was: group 1, hazard ratio 1.09 (95% confidence interval 0.83 to 1.43),… Continue reading Risk of #amputation with #canagliflozin across categories of age and cardiovascular risk in three US nationwide databases: cohort study
Effects of #Diet versus Gastric #Bypass on Metabolic Function in Diabetes
Some studies have suggested that in people with type 2 diabetes, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has therapeutic effects on metabolic function that are independent of weight loss.. ..Weight loss was associated with increases in mean suppression of glucose production from baseline, by 7.04 μmol per kilogram of fat-free mass per minute (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.74… Continue reading Effects of #Diet versus Gastric #Bypass on Metabolic Function in Diabetes
Associations between abdominal #obesity indices and #diabetic complications: Chinese visceral #adiposity index and neck circumference
Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, has been considered a risk factor for diabetic complications. Many abdominal obesity indices have been established, including neck circumference (NC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI) and the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI). However, studies investigating the associations between these indices and diabetic complications are limited.… Continue reading Associations between abdominal #obesity indices and #diabetic complications: Chinese visceral #adiposity index and neck circumference
Association between #prediabetes and risk of all cause mortality and #cardiovascular disease: updated meta-analysis
To evaluate the associations between prediabetes and the risk of all cause mortality and incident cardiovascular disease in the general population and in patients with a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.. ..A total of 129 studies were included, involving 10 069 955 individuals for analysis. In the general population, prediabetes was associated with an increased risk of… Continue reading Association between #prediabetes and risk of all cause mortality and #cardiovascular disease: updated meta-analysis
Effect of Vitamin #D Supplementation on the Incidence of #Diabetes Mellitus
The effect of vitamin D supplementation on the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains controversial because most randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been small or have reported low doses of vitamin D.. ..Nine RCTs were included (43 559 participants). The mean age (standard deviation) was 63.5 (6.7) years. The RR for vitamin D… Continue reading Effect of Vitamin #D Supplementation on the Incidence of #Diabetes Mellitus
Intake of whole grain foods and risk of type 2 diabetes: results from three prospective cohort studies
..During 4 618 796 person years of follow-up, 18 629 participants with type 2 diabetes were identified. Total whole grain consumption was categorized into five equal groups of servings a day for the three cohorts. After adjusting for lifestyle and dietary risk factors for diabetes, participants in the highest category for total whole grain consumption had a 29%… Continue reading Intake of whole grain foods and risk of type 2 diabetes: results from three prospective cohort studies
