Article Abstract

Introduction: Waist circumference (WC) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) have been demonstrated as risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Evidence is limited regarding the association of the combination of WC and FPG (WyG) with the risk of T2DM. The primary aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between WyG and T2DM.

Research Design And Methods: The current study was a population-based cohort study using data from the NAGALA database. Participants were divided into tertiles based on WyG. Cox proportional hazard regression model was applied to identify the association of WyG with T2DM.

Results: During a median follow-up of 6.19 years in the normoglycemia group and 5.58 years in the prediabetes group, respectively, 88 and 285 individuals in the two groups received a diagnosis of T2DM. After full adjustment, risk of T2DM increased in step-wise fashion with increasing tertiles of WyG. For a per-SD increase in WyG, the hazard ratios for T2DM were 3.05 (95% CI 2.64 - 3.51) in all populations, 1.94 (95% CI 1.46 - 2.58) in the normoglycemia group and 1.63 (95% CI 1.40 - 1.90) in the prediabetes group. The interaction between WyG and fatty liver on T2DM was statistically significant in the prediabetes group ( for interaction = 0.034).

Conclusions: Elevated WyG was independently associated with incident T2DM in Japan. Baseline WyG help identify individuals at high risk of T2DM and implement effective preventive measures.

Background: Sarcopenia is a prevalent but underrecognized complication in elderly patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Its complex etiology limits early diagnosis and intervention. This study developed and internally validated a nomogram for individualized sarcopenia risk assessment in this population.

Background: Red and processed meat consumption is extensively linked to chronic disease risk in observational studies, with robust meta-analyses demonstrating significant positive associations for colorectal, breast, endometrial, and lung cancers, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality. Dose-response relationships indicate elevated risks even at moderate intakes. Moreover, processed meats consistently show stronger detrimental effects than unprocessed red meats.

Objective: This multicenter study aimed to investigate resting-state brain functional alterations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) comorbid with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to elucidate the underlying neural mechanisms.

Methods: A total of 139 participants were enrolled from two centers, including 48 healthy controls (HCs), 46 T2DM patients, and 45 T2DM with OSA patients. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) was used to assess brain function using degree centrality (DC), amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), and seed-based functional connectivity (FC).

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is common in pregnancy and is increasing in prevalence. It is associated with an increased risk of maternal and perinatal complications if not diagnosed and managed early. Most guidelines suggest making a diagnosis of GDM using an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy at which stage there still is an increased risk of complications.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent interconnected metabolic disorders with multifaceted etiology, demonstrating bidirectional relationships and pronounced associations with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Despite extensive research, significant knowledge gaps persist regarding the temporal progression of these comorbidities, optimal screening strategies for high-risk populations, and personalized therapeutic approaches targeting the hepatic-cardiac-metabolic axis simultaneously. Current literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of phenotypic heterogeneity within NAFLD-T2DM-CVD clusters and fails to address sex-specific and ethnic variations in disease progression patterns adequately.
