Tang R, Kou M, Li X, Wang X, Ma H, Heianza Y, Qi L. Degree of joint risk factor control and incident chronic kidney disease among individuals with obesity. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:4864-4874. [PMID: 39164879 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the extent to which joint risk factor control might attenuate the excess risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in participants with obesity. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included a total of 97 538 participants who were obese at baseline and matched 97 538 normal weight control participants from the UK Biobank in the analysis. The degree of joint risk factor control was assessed based on six major CKD risk factors, including blood pressure, glycated haemoglobin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, albuminuria, smoking and physical activity. The Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate associations between the degree of risk factor control and risk of CKD, following participants from their baseline assessment until the occurrence of CKD, death, or the end of the follow-up period. RESULTS Among participants with obesity, joint risk factor control showed an association with a stepwise reduction of incident CKD risk. Each additional risk factor control corresponded to an 11% (hazard ratio: 0.89; 95% confidence interval: 0.86-0.91) reduced risk of CKD among participants with obesity, with the optimal controlling of all six risk factors associated with a 49% (hazard ratio: 0.51; 95% confidence interval: 0.43-0.61) decrease in risk of CKD. Furthermore, in individuals with obesity who jointly controlled all six risk factors, the excess risk of CKD associated with obesity was effectively neutralized compared with normal weight control subjects. Notably, the protective correlations between the degree of joint risk factor control and the incidence of CKD were more pronounced in men compared with women, in individuals with a lower healthy food score versus a higher score, and among diabetes medication users as opposed to non-users (pinteraction = 0.017, 0.033 and 0.014, respectively). CONCLUSION The joint risk factor control is associated with an inverse association of CKD risk in an accumulative manner among individuals with obesity. Achieving ideal control over risk factors may effectively counterbalance the excessive risk of CKD typically associated with obesity.

Abstract
AIM To assess the association of intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) and natural juices (NJs) with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in people with prediabetes or diabetes. METHODS A total of 31 433 participants with prediabetes and diabetes from the UK Biobank were included. Information on the intake of SSBs, ASBs and NJs was accessed by 24-hour dietary recalls from 2009 to 2012. The study outcome was new-onset AF. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.0 years, 2470 (7.9%) AF cases were documented. Both the intake of SSBs (per 1 unit/day increment; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-1.18) and ASBs (per 1 unit/day increment; adjusted HR = 1.08; 95% CI: 1.02-1.14) were linearly and positively associated with new-onset AF, while NJ intake was not significantly associated with new-onset AF (per 1 unit/day increment; adjusted HR = 1.00; 95% CI: 0.93-1.08). Accordingly, compared with non-consumers, participants who consumed more than one unit per day of SSBs (adjusted HR = 1.30; 95% CI: 1.11-1.53) or ASBs (adjusted HR = 1.21; 95% CI:1.05-1.40) had an increased risk of AF. Substituting 1 unit/day of NJs for SSBs was associated with a 9% (adjusted HR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.83-0.99) lower risk of new-onset AF, while replacing SSBs with ASBs was not significantly associated with new-onset AF (adjusted HR = 0.97; 95% CI: 0.89-1.06). CONCLUSIONS Both the intake of SSBs and ASBs were linearly and positively associated with new-onset AF, while NJ intake did not show a significant association with AF in people with prediabetes or diabetes. Replacing an equivalent amount of SSB intake with NJs, but not ASBs, was associated with a lower risk of AF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a protein risk score for predicting chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with diabetes and compare its predictive performance with a validated clinical risk model (CKD Prediction Consortium [CKD-PC]) and CKD polygenic risk score. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This cohort study included 2,094 patients with diabetes who had proteomics and genetic information and no history of CKD at baseline from the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project. Based on nearly 3,000 plasma proteins, a CKD protein risk score including 11 proteins was constructed in the training set (including 1,047 participants; 117 CKD events). RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 12.1 years. In the test set (including 1,047 participants; 112 CKD events), the CKD protein risk score was positively associated with incident CKD (per SD increment; hazard ratio 1.78; 95% CI 1.44, 2.20). Compared with the basic model (age + sex + race, C-index, 0.627; 95% CI 0.578, 0.675), the CKD protein risk score (C-index increase 0.122; 95% CI 0.071, 0.177), and the CKD-PC risk factors (C-index increase 0.175; 95% CI 0.126, 0.217) significantly improved the prediction performance of incident CKD, but the CKD polygenic risk score (C-index increase 0.007; 95% CI -0.016, 0.025) had no significant improvement. Adding the CKD protein risk score into the CKD-PC risk factors had the largest C-index of 0.825 (C-index from 0.802 to 0.825; difference 0.023; 95% CI 0.006, 0.044), and significantly improved the continuous 10-year net reclassification (0.199; 95% CI 0.059, 0.299) and 10-year integrated discrimination index (0.041; 95% CI 0.007, 0.083). CONCLUSIONS Adding the CKD protein risk score to a validated clinical risk model significantly improved the discrimination and reclassification of CKD risk in patients with diabetes.

Comprehensive Multiple Risk Factor Control in Type 2 Diabetes to Mitigate Heart Failure Risk: Insights From a Prospective Cohort Study. Diabetes Care 2024; 47:1818-1825.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The impact of comprehensive risk factor control on heart failure (HF) risk and HF-free survival time in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) was evaluated in this study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This prospective study included 11,949 individuals diagnosed with T2D, matched with 47,796 non-T2D control study participants from the UK Biobank cohort. The degree of comprehensive risk factor control was assessed on the basis of the major cardiovascular risk factors, including blood pressure, BMI, LDL cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, renal function, smoking, diet, and physical activity. Cox proportional hazards models were used to measure the associations between the degree of risk factor control and HF risk. Irwin's restricted mean was used to evaluate HF-free survival time. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.3 years, 702 individuals (5.87%) with T2D and 1,402 matched control participants (2.93%) developed HF. Each additional risk factor controlled was associated with an average 19% lower risk of HF. Optimal control of at least six risk factors was associated with a 67% lower HF risk (hazard ratio [HR] 0.33; 95% CI 0.20, 0.54). BMI was the primary attributable risk factor for HF. Notably, the excess risk of HF associated with T2D could be attenuated to levels comparable to those of non-T2D control participants when individuals had a high degree of risk factor control (HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.40, 1.07), and they exhibited a longer HF-free survival time. CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive management of risk factors is inversely associated with HF risk, and optimal risk factor control may prolong HF-free survival time among individuals with T2D.

Association between lung function and risk of microvascular diseases in patients with diabetes: A prospective cohort and Mendelian randomization study. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:2378-2385. [PMID: 38862354 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2024.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To investigate causal relationships of lung function with risks microvascular diseases among participants with diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), respectively, in prospective and Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS AND RESULTS 14,617 participants with diabetes and without microvascular diseases at baseline from the UK Biobank were included in the prospective analysis. Of these, 13,421 had T2DM and 1196 had T1DM. The linear MR analyses were conducted in the UK Biobank with 6838 cases of microvascular diseases and 10,755 controls. Lung function measurements included forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1). The study outcome was microvascular diseases, a composite outcome including chronic kidney diseases, retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy. During a median follow-up of 12.1 years, 2668 new-onset microvascular diseases were recorded. FVC (%predicted) was inversely associated with the risk of new-onset microvascular diseases in participants with diabetes (Per SD increment, adjusted HR = 0.86; 95%CI:0.83-0.89), T2DM (Per SD increment, adjusted HR = 0.86; 95%CI:0.82-0.90) and T1DM (Per SD increment, adjusted HR = 0.87; 95%CI: 0.79-0.97), respectively. Similar results were found for FEV1 (%predicted). In MR analyses, genetically predicted FVC (adjusted RR = 0.55, 95%CI:0.39-0.77) and FEV1 (adjusted RR = 0.48, 95%CI:0.28-0.83) were both inversely associated with microvascular diseases in participants with T1DM. No significant association was found in those with T2DM. Similar findings were found for each component of microvascular diseases. CONCLUSION There was a causal inverse association between lung function and risks of microvascular diseases in participants with T1DM, but not in those with T2DM.

Comparison of race- and ethnicity-specific BMI cutoffs for categorizing obesity severity: a multicountry prospective cohort study. Obesity (Silver Spring) 2024; 32:1958-1966. [PMID: 39223976 PMCID: PMC11421961 DOI: 10.1002/oby.24129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare race- and ethnicity-specific BMI cutoffs for the three classes of obesity based on equivalent risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS Participants without T2D were included from the UK Biobank, the China Health and Nutrition Survey, and the Singapore Chinese Health Study. Poisson regressions with restricted cubic splines were applied to determine BMI cutoffs for each non-White race and ethnicity for equivalent incidence rates of T2D at BMI values of 30.0, 35.0, and 40.0 kg/m2 in White adults. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 13.8 years among 507,763 individuals, 5.2% developed T2D. In women, BMI cutoffs for an equivalent incidence rate of T2D as observed at 40.0 kg/m2 in White adults were 31.6 kg/m2 in Black, 29.2 kg/m2 in British Chinese, 27.3 kg/m2 in South Asian, 26.9 kg/m2 in Native Chinese, and 25.1 kg/m2 in Singapore Chinese adults. In men, the corresponding BMI cutoffs were 31.9 kg/m2 in Black, 30.6 kg/m2 in British Chinese, 29.0 kg/m2 in South Asian, 29.6 kg/m2 in Native Chinese, and 27.6 kg/m2 in Singapore Chinese adults. The race and ethnicity order was consistent when equivalent BMI cutoffs were estimated for class I and II obesity. CONCLUSIONS Establishing a race- and ethnicity-tailored classification of the three classes of obesity is urgently needed.

Abstract
Combining information from multiple GWASs for a disease and its risk factors has proven a powerful approach for development of polygenic risk scores (PRSs). This may be particularly useful for type 2 diabetes (T2D), a highly polygenic and heterogeneous disease where the additional predictive value of a PRS is unclear. Here, we use a meta-scoring approach to develop a metaPRS for T2D that incorporated genome-wide associations from both European and non-European genetic ancestries and T2D risk factors. We evaluated the performance of this metaPRS and benchmarked it against existing genome-wide PRS in 620,059 participants and 50,572 T2D cases amongst six diverse genetic ancestries from UK Biobank, INTERVAL, the All of Us Research Program, and the Singapore Multi-Ethnic Cohort. We show that our metaPRS was the most powerful PRS for predicting T2D in European population-based cohorts and had comparable performance to the top ancestry-specific PRS, highlighting its transferability. In UK Biobank, we show the metaPRS had stronger predictive power for 10-year risk than all individual risk factors apart from BMI and biomarkers of dysglycemia. The metaPRS modestly improved T2D risk stratification of QDiabetes risk scores for 10-year risk prediction, particularly when prioritising individuals for blood tests of dysglycemia. Overall, we present a highly predictive and transferrable PRS for T2D and demonstrate that the potential for PRS to incrementally improve T2D risk prediction when incorporated into UK guideline-recommended screening and risk prediction with a clinical risk score.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are expected to be helpful in precision medicine, it remains unclear whether high-PRS groups are more likely to benefit from preventive interventions for diseases. Recent methodological advancements enable us to predict treatment effects at the individual level. METHODS We employed causal forest to explore the relationship between PRSs and individual risk of diseases associated with certain environmental factors. Following simulations illustrating its performance, we applied our approach to investigate the individual risk of cardiometabolic diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), associated with obesity and smoking among individuals from UK Biobank (UKB; n = 369,942) and BioBank Japan (BBJ; n = 149,421). RESULTS Here we find the heterogeneous association of obesity and smoking with diseases across PRS values, complicated by the multi-dimensional combination of individual characteristics such as age and sex. The highest positive correlations of PRSs and the exposure-related disease risks are observed between obesity and T2D in UKB and between smoking and CAD in BBJ (Spearman's ρ = 0.61 and 0.32, respectively). However, most relationships are weak or negative, suggesting that high-PRS groups will not necessarily benefit most from environmental factor prevention. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlights the importance of individual-level prediction of disease risks associated with target exposure in precision medicine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Various strategies aim to better assess risks and refine prevention for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who vary in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, the prognostic value of personality and its association with lifestyle factors remain elusive. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We identified 8794 patients with T2DM from the UK Biobank database between 2006 and 2010 and followed them up until the end of 2021. We assessed personality traits using the Big Five proxies derived from UK Biobank data: sociability, warmth, diligence, curiosity, and nervousness. Healthy lifestyle behaviors were determined from information about obesity, smoking status, and physical activity. The primary outcome was a composite of incident CVD, including myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke (IS), atrial fibrillation (AF), and heart failure (HF). RESULTS During a median follow-up of 13.6 years, a total of 2110 patients experienced CVDs. Among personality traits, diligence was significantly associated with a reduced risk of primary and secondary outcomes. The adjusted HRs with 95% CIs were: composite CVD, 0.93 (0.89-0.97); MI 0.90 (0.82-1.00); IS 0.83 (0.74-0.94); AF 0.92 (0.85-0.98); HF 0.84 (0.76-0.91). Healthy lifestyle behaviors significantly reduced the risk of composite CVDs in groups with high and low diligence. The findings of a structural equation model showed that diligence directly affected the risk of the primary outcome or indirectly by modifying lifestyle behaviors. CONCLUSION This study revealed which personality traits can influence CVD risk during T2DM and how patients might benefit from adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors in relation to personality.

Abstract
Precision medicine has the potential to provide more accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment and timely prevention strategies by considering patients' biological makeup. However, this cannot be realized without integrating clinical and omics data in a data-sharing framework that achieves large sample sizes. Systems that integrate clinical and genetic data from multiple sources are scarce due to their distinct data types, interoperability, security and data ownership issues. Here we present a secure framework that allows immutable storage, querying and analysis of clinical and genetic data using blockchain technology. Our platform allows clinical and genetic data to be harmonized by combining them under a unified framework. It supports combined genotype-phenotype queries and analysis, gives institutions control of their data and provides immutable user access logs, improving transparency into how and when health information is used. We demonstrate the value of our framework for precision medicine by creating genotype-phenotype cohorts and examining relationships within them. We show that combining data across institutions using our secure platform increases statistical power for rare disease analysis. By offering an integrated, secure and decentralized framework, we aim to enhance reproducibility and encourage broader participation from communities and patients in data sharing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a significant health problem. Dietary intervention plays an important role in patients with MAFLD. OBJECTIVES We aimed to provide a reference for dietary patterns in patients with MAFLD. METHODS The presence of MAFLD was determined in the United Kingdom Biobank cohort. Nine dietary pattern scores were derived from the dietary records. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The contrast test was employed to calculate the heterogeneity across MAFLD statuses. RESULTS We identified 175,300 patients with MAFLD at baseline. Compared with non-MAFLD, MAFLD was significantly associated with chronic liver disease (CLD) (HR: 3.48; 95% CI: 3.15, 3.84), severe liver disease (SLD) (HR: 2.87; 95% CI: 2.63, 3.14), liver cancer (HR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.67, 2.23), and liver-related death (LRD) (HR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.67, 2.23). In the overall cohort, the alternate Mediterranean diet (aMED) (HRCLD: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.76; HRSLD: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.72), planetary health diet (PHD) (HRCLD: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.47, 0.81; HRSLD: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.51, 0.83), plant-based low-carbohydrate diet (pLCD) (HRCLD: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.49, 0.86; HRSLD: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.51, 0.85), and healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI) (HRCLD: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.47, 0.84; HRSLD: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.47, 0.78) were associated with a lower risk of CLD and SLD. Additionally, unhealthful plant-based diet index (uPDI) was associated with increased risk of CLD (HR: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.09,1.85), SLD (HR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.90), and LRD (HR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.28-2.78). The aforementioned associations remained consistently strong within the MAFLD subgroup while exhibiting less pronounced in the non-MAFLD group. However, no significant heterogeneity was observed across different MAFLD statuses. CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight the detrimental effects of MAFLD on the development of subsequent liver diseases and the importance of dietary patterns in managing MAFLD.

Abstract
AIM To assess the association between new-onset atrial fibrillation and dementia among patients with type 2 diabetes, a group with a high prevalence of atrial fibrillation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cohort study included 22 989 patients with type 2 diabetes from the UK Biobank. New-onset atrial fibrillation was ascertained from hospital admission records. We used an algorithm officially released by the UK Biobank to identify all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. The algorithm was developed using multiple sources, including hospital admissions and the death registry. Time-varying Cox regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between new-onset atrial fibrillation and dementia. RESULTS A total of 2843 participants developed atrial fibrillation, whereas the remaining 20 146 did not. During the median of 12.3 years of follow-up, 844 all-cause dementia, 342 Alzheimer's disease and 246 vascular dementia cases occurred. Compared with participants without atrial fibrillation, those with atrial fibrillation had higher risks of all-cause dementia (hazard ratio [HR] 2.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.80-2.57), Alzheimer's disease (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.06-1.96) and vascular dementia (HR 3.11, 95% CI 2.32-4.17). CONCLUSIONS New-onset atrial fibrillation was associated with a substantially higher risk of all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Our findings highlight the significance of atrial fibrillation management in mitigating the risk of dementia in this demographic.

Vitamin D and heart failure risk among individuals with type 2 diabetes: observational and Mendelian randomization studies. Am J Clin Nutr 2024; 120:491-498. [PMID: 39053885 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.07.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence is limited and inconsistent regarding vitamin D and heart failure (HF) risk in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), among whom vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency is common. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] with HF risk among individuals with T2D, in observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) frameworks. METHODS Observational analyses were performed among 15,226 T2D participants aged 40-72 y from the UK Biobank. HF incidence was ascertained through electronic health records. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between serum 25(OH)D and HF risk among people with T2D. MR analyses were conducted among 11,260 unrelated participants with T2D. A weighted genetic risk score for genetically predicted 25(OH)D concentration was instrumented using 62 confirmed genome-wide variants. RESULTS The mean ± standard deviation of serum 25(OH)D was 43.4 ± 20.4 nmol/L. During a median follow-up of 11.3 y, 836 incident HF events occurred. Serum 25(OH)D was nonlinearly and inversely associated with HF and the decreasing risk tended to plateau at around 50 nmol/L. Comparing those with 25(OH)D <25 nmol/L, the multivariable-adjusted HR (95% CI) was 0.67 (0.54, 0.83) for participants with 25(OH)D of 50.0-74.9 nmol/L and was 0.71 (0.52, 0.98) for 25(OH)D >75 nmol/L. In MR analysis, each 7% increment in genetically predicted 25(OH)D was associated with 36% lower risk of HF among people with T2D (HR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.41, 0.99). CONCLUSIONS Higher serum 25(OH)D was associated with lower HF risk among individuals with T2D and the MR analysis suggested a potential causal relationship. These findings indicate a role of maintaining adequate vitamin D status in the prevention of HF among individuals with T2D.

Abstract
Diabetes complications occur at higher rates in individuals of African ancestry. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDdef), common in some African populations, confers malaria resistance, and reduces hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels by shortening erythrocyte lifespan. In a combined-ancestry genome-wide association study of diabetic retinopathy, we identified nine loci including a G6PDdef causal variant, rs1050828 -T (Val98Met), which was also associated with increased risk of other diabetes complications. The effect of rs1050828 -T on retinopathy was fully mediated by glucose levels. In the years preceding diabetes diagnosis and insulin prescription, glucose levels were significantly higher and HbA1c significantly lower in those with versus without G6PDdef. In the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial, participants with G6PDdef had significantly higher hazards of incident retinopathy and neuropathy. At the same HbA1c levels, G6PDdef participants in both ACCORD and the Million Veteran Program had significantly increased risk of retinopathy. We estimate that 12% and 9% of diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy cases, respectively, in participants of African ancestry are due to this exposure. Across continentally defined ancestral populations, the differences in frequency of rs1050828 -T and other G6PDdef alleles contribute to disparities in diabetes complications. Diabetes management guided by glucose or potentially genotype-adjusted HbA1c levels could lead to more timely diagnoses and appropriate intensification of therapy, decreasing the risk of diabetes complications in patients with G6PDdef alleles.

Abstract
AIM To explore the relationships of multiple reproductive factors with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk and the joint effects of reproductive factors and genetic susceptibility. METHODS We included 262,368 women without prevalent T2DM from the UK biobank. Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to estimate the relationships of reproductive factors with T2DM risk and the joint effects of reproductive factors and genetic susceptibility. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 12.2 years, 8,996 T2DM cases were identified. Early menarche (<12 years, hazard ratio (HR) 1.08 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.02;1.13]), late menarche (≥15 years, HR 1.11 [1.04;1.17]), early menopause (<45 years, HR 1.20 [1.12;1.29]), short reproductive lifespan (<30 years, HR 1.25 [1.16;1.35]), hysterectomy (1.31, HR [1.23;1.40]), oophorectomy (HR 1.28 [1.20;1.36]), high parity (≥4, HR 1.25 [1.17;1.34]), early age at first live birth (<20 years, HR 1.23 [1.16;1.31]), miscarriage (HR 1.13 [1.07;1.19]), stillbirth (HR 1.14 [1.03;1.27]), and ever used hormonal replacement therapy (HR 1.19 [1.14;1.24]) were related to a higher T2DM risk, while ever used oral contraceptives (HR 0.93 [0.89;0.98]) was related to a lower T2DM risk. Furthermore, women with reproductive risk factors and high genetic risk had the highest T2DM risk compared to those with low genetic risk and without reproductive risk factors. CONCLUSION Our findings show that multiple reproductive factors are related to T2DM risk, particularly in women with high genetic risk.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the impact of current age, age at diagnosis, and duration of diabetes on the incidence rate of complications among people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Baseline data from 19,327 individuals with type 2 diabetes in the UK Biobank were analysed. Poisson regression was used to model incidence rates by current age, age at diagnosis, and duration of diabetes for the following outcomes: myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), stroke, end-stage kidney diseases (ESKD), chronic kidney diseases (CKD), liver diseases, depression, and anxiety. RESULTS The mean age at baseline was 60.2 years, and median follow-up was 13.9 years. Diabetes duration was significantly longer among those with younger-onset type 2 diabetes (diagnosed at <40 years) compared to later-onset type 2 diabetes (diagnosed at ≥40 years), 16.2 and 5.3 years, respectively. Incidence rates of MI, HF, stroke, and CKD had strong positive associations with age and duration of diabetes, whereas incidence rates of ESKD liver diseases, and anxiety mainly depended on duration of diabetes. The incidence rates of depression showed minor variation by age and duration of diabetes and were highest among those diagnosed at earlier ages. No clear evidence of an effect of age of onset of diabetes on risk of complications was apparent after accounting for current age and duration of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates age at diagnosis of diabetes does not significantly impact the incidence of complications, independently of the duration of diabetes. Instead, complications are primarily influenced by current age and diabetes duration.

Abstract
SCOPE This study aims to assess the association between intake of different types of fruit (citrus, pomes, tropical fruits, berries, gourds, drupes, dried fruits, and other fruits), the intake diversity of fruit types, and risk of new-onset kidney stones in general population. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 205 896 participants with at least one completed 24-h dietary recall from the UK Biobank are included. During a median follow-up of 11.6 years, 2074 cases of kidney stones are documented. Compared with nonconsumers, participants with higher intake of citrus (50-<100 g day-1; hazards ratio [HR] = 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.66-0.91; ≥100 g day-1; HR = 0.75; 95%CI, 0.63-0.89), pomes (≥100 g day-1; HR = 0.86; 95%CI, 0.77-0.96), or tropical fruits (50-<100 g day-1; HR = 0.86; 95%CI, 0.75-0.99; ≥100 g day-1; HR = 0.88; 95%CI, 0.79-0.99) have a lower risk of new-onset kidney stones. However, there is no significant association of intake of berries, gourds, drupes, dried fruits, and other fruits with kidney stones. A higher fruit variety score is significantly associated with a lower risk of new-onset kidney stones (per 1-score increment, HR = 0.86; 95%CI, 0.81-0.91). CONCLUSIONS Higher intake of citruses (≥50 g day-1), pomes (≥100 g day-1), and tropical fruits (≥50 g day-1), as well as increasing diversity of intake of these three fruits, are associated with a lower risk of new-onset kidney stones.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the causal dose-response association between cognitive function and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by a longitudinal cohort and mendelian randomization study. METHODS The longitudinal cohort study included 396,600 participants without prior dementia and CKD from the UK Biobank. Cognitive function (including prospective memory, numeric memory, visuospatial memory, reaction time, and reasoning ability) was assessed by computerized touchscreen tests. Global cognitive function was defined as a composite score of those specific cognitive domains. A 2-stage mendelian randomization analysis was conducted with 12,979 cases of CKD and 379,424 controls. Genetically predicted global cognitive function was instrumented with 91 confirmed genome-wide significant variants. The study outcome was new-onset CKD. The study was conducted from March 13, 2006, to September 30, 2021. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.5 years, new-onset CKD developed in 13,090 participants. Per 1 SD score increments in reaction time (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.97; 95% CI, 0.95 to 0.99), reasoning ability (adjusted HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.88 to 0.94), and global cognitive function (adjusted HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.95 to 0.98) were associated with a significantly lower risk of new-onset CKD. Compared with an incorrect answer in the prospective memory test, a correct answer was associated with a lower risk of new-onset CKD (adjusted HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.76 to 0.88). Mendelian randomization analyses found that per 1 SD score increments in genetically predicted global cognitive function resulted in a significantly (7%; 95% CI, 2% to 12%) lower risk of new-onset CKD. CONCLUSION A better cognitive function is causally associated with a lower risk of CKD in participants without prior dementia.

Association of ultraprocessed food consumption with risk of microvascular complications among individuals with type 2 diabetes in the UK Biobank: a prospective cohort study. Am J Clin Nutr 2024; 120:674-684. [PMID: 39067859 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.07.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The poor nutritional characteristics and potentially harmful molecules in ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) are risk factors for diabetic microvascular complications. However, the evidence regarding UPFs and diabetic microvascular complications remains limited. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the associations between UPF consumption and risk of diabetic microvascular complications, to examine the underlying biological pathways (e.g., inflammation and lipid profile), and to identify whether the associations differ by type of UPF dietary patterns. METHODS We included a prospective cohort of UK Biobank participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) having at least one 24-h dietary recall (N = 5685). UPFs were defined using the Nova classification. Principal component analysis was used to derive UPF consumption patterns. Associations of UPFs and their consumption patterns with microvascular complications were assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Mediation analyses were used to estimate the mediating effects of 22 biomarkers. RESULTS During a median of 12.7 y of follow-up, 1243 composite microvascular complications events occurred (599 diabetic retinopathy, 237 diabetic neuropathy, and 662 diabetic kidney disease events). Five consumption patterns were identified (spread and bread, cereal prepared with liquids, dairy-based products, sugary beverage and snack, and mixed beverage and savory snack patterns). A 10% increment in the proportion of UPF was associated with higher hazards of the composite microvascular complications (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03, 1.13) and diabetic kidney disease (HR: 1.13; 95% CI: 1.06, 1.20). Triglycerides, C-reactive protein, and body mass index collectively explained 22.0% (9.6%-43.0%) of the association between UPF intake and composite microvascular complications. Pattern high in mixed beverage and savory snack was associated with a higher risk of composite microvascular complications. CONCLUSIONS Higher UPF consumption was associated with higher risks of diabetic microvascular complications, and the association was partly mediated through multiple potential ways.

Genome-Wide Polygenic Risk Score Predicts Incident Type 2 Diabetes in Women With History of Gestational Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2024; 47:1622-1629. [PMID: 38940851 PMCID: PMC11362128 DOI: 10.2337/dc24-0022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether genetic information improves prediction of incident T2D in these women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using five independent cohorts representing four different ancestries (n = 1,895), we investigated whether a genome-wide T2D polygenic risk score (PRS) is associated with increased risk of incident T2D. We also calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) and continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) following the incorporation of T2D PRS into clinical risk models to assess the diagnostic utility. RESULTS Among 1,895 women with previous history of GDM, 363 (19.2%) developed T2D in a range of 2 to 30 years. T2D PRS was higher in those who developed T2D (-0.08 vs. 0.31, P = 2.3 × 10-11) and was associated with an increased risk of incident T2D (odds ratio 1.52 per 1-SD increase, 95% CI 1.05-2.21, P = 0.03). In a model that includes age, family history of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, and BMI, the incorporation of PRS led to an increase in AUROC for T2D from 0.71 to 0.74 and an intermediate improvement of NRI (0.32, 95% CI 0.15-0.49, P = 3.0 × 10-4). Although there was variation, a similar trend was observed across study cohorts. CONCLUSIONS In cohorts of GDM women with diverse ancestry, T2D PRS was significantly associated with future development of T2D. A significant but small improvement was observed in AUROC when T2D PRS was integrated into clinical risk models to predict incident T2D.

Accelerometer-measured physical activity, sedentary behavior, and incidence of macrovascular and microvascular events in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes. JOURNAL OF SPORT AND HEALTH SCIENCE 2024:100973. [PMID: 39214513 DOI: 10.1016/j.jshs.2024.100973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) is considered beneficial for lowering cardiovascular risks following type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes, but existing evidence relies mainly on self-reported measurements. We aimed to describe the intensity-specific dose-response associations of PA and sedentary behavior (SB) with macrovascular and microvascular events among individuals with T2DM and prediabetes. METHODS This study included 11,474 individuals with T2DM and prediabetes from the UK Biobank. PA, including total PA, moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA), light intensity PA (LPA), and SB, were measured by accelerometers over 7 days. MVPA was categorized according to the American Diabetes Association guideline-recommended level (at least 150 min/week), and total PA, LPA, and SB were grouped by tertiles. The outcomes were incidences of macrovascular events, microvascular events, heart failure (HF), and their combination (composite events). The events were ascertained using the ICD-10 codes on the hospital or death records. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 6.8 years, 1680 cases were documented, including 969 macrovascular events, 839 microvascular events, and 284 incidents of HF. Accelerometer-measured PA, irrespective of intensity, was inversely associated with the risk of composite events and each outcome in the dose-response patterns. Regarding categorized PA, engagement in total PA (high vs. low) was associated with decreased risk of macrovascular events (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.80; 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.67-0.95), microvascular events (HR = 0.76; 95%CI: 0.63-0.93), and HF (HR = 0.46; 95%CI: 0.32-0.66). Adherence to MVPA, but not LPA, above the guideline-recommended level (at least 150 min/week) was associated with reduced risk of macrovascular events (HR = 0.80; 95%CI: 0.68-0.95), microvascular events (HR = 0.76; 95%CI: 0.63-0.92), and HF (HR = 0.65; 95%CI: 0.46-0.92). The minimum dose of MVPA for lowering the risk of composite events was approximately 59.0 min/week. More time spent in SB was associated with an increased risk of composite events (high vs. low, HR = 1.17; 95%CI: 1.02-1.35) and HF (high vs. low, HR = 1.54; 95%CI: 1.09-2.20). Replacement of 30 min of SB (HR = 0.73; 95%CI: 0.65-0.81) and LPA (HR = 0.74; 95%CI: 0.66-0.83) with MVPA dramatically reduced the risk of composite events. CONCLUSION Adherence to a higher amount of accelerometer-measured PA, especially MVPA at least 59 min/week, is associated with reduced risks of macrovascular and microvascular events among individuals with T2DM and prediabetes. Replacement of SB and LPA with MVPA helped lower the risk of diabetic vascular events.

Incidence of diabetes after SARS-CoV-2 infection in England and the implications of COVID-19 vaccination: a retrospective cohort study of 16 million people. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2024; 12:558-568. [PMID: 39054034 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(24)00159-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Some studies have shown that the incidence of type 2 diabetes increases after a diagnosis of COVID-19, although the evidence is not conclusive. However, the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine on this association, or the effect on other diabetes subtypes, are not clear. We aimed to investigate the association between COVID-19 and incidence of type 2, type 1, gestational and non-specific diabetes, and the effect of COVID- 19 vaccination, up to 52 weeks after diagnosis. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the diagnoses of incident diabetes following COVID-19 diagnosis in England in a pre-vaccination, vaccinated, and unvaccinated cohort using linked electronic health records. People alive and aged between 18 years and 110 years, registered with a general practitioner for at least 6 months before baseline, and with available data for sex, region, and area deprivation were included. Those with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis were excluded. We estimated adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) comparing diabetes incidence after COVID-19 diagnosis with diabetes incidence before or in the absence of COVID-19 up to 102 weeks after diagnosis. Results were stratified by COVID-19 severity (categorised as hospitalised or non-hospitalised) and diabetes type. FINDINGS 16 669 943 people were included in the pre-vaccination cohort (Jan 1, 2020-Dec 14, 2021), 12 279 669 in the vaccinated cohort, and 3 076 953 in the unvaccinated cohort (both June 1-Dec 14, 2021). In the pre-vaccination cohort, aHRs for the incidence of type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 (compared with before or in the absence of diagnosis) declined from 4·30 (95% CI 4·06-4·55) in weeks 1-4 to 1·24 (1·14-1.35) in weeks 53-102. aHRs were higher in unvaccinated people (8·76 [7·49-10·25]) than in vaccinated people (1·66 [1·50-1·84]) in weeks 1-4 and in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 (pre-vaccination cohort 28·3 [26·2-30·5]) in weeks 1-4 declining to 2·04 [1·72-2·42] in weeks 53-102) than in those who were not hospitalised (1·95 [1·78-2·13] in weeks 1-4 declining to 1·11 [1·01-1·22] in weeks 53-102). Type 2 diabetes persisted for 4 months after COVID-19 in around 60% of those diagnosed. Patterns were similar for type 1 diabetes, although excess incidence did not persist beyond 1 year after a COVID-19 diagnosis. INTERPRETATION Elevated incidence of type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 is greater, and persists for longer, in people who were hospitalised with COVID-19 than in those who were not, and is markedly less apparent in people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Testing for type 2 diabetes after severe COVID-19 and the promotion of vaccination are important tools in addressing this public health problem.

Determinants of plasma levels of proglucagon and the metabolic impact of glucagon receptor signalling: a UK Biobank study. Diabetologia 2024; 67:1602-1615. [PMID: 38705923 PMCID: PMC11343844 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-024-06160-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESES Glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are derived from the same precursor; proglucagon, and dual agonists of their receptors are currently being explored for the treatment of obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Elevated levels of endogenous glucagon (hyperglucagonaemia) have been linked with hyperglycaemia in individuals with type 2 diabetes but are also observed in individuals with obesity and MASLD. GLP-1 levels have been reported to be largely unaffected or even reduced in similar conditions. We investigated potential determinants of plasma proglucagon and associations of glucagon receptor signalling with metabolic diseases based on data from the UK Biobank. METHODS We used exome sequencing data from the UK Biobank for ~410,000 white participants to identify glucagon receptor variants and grouped them based on their known or predicted signalling. Data on plasma levels of proglucagon estimated using Olink technology were available for a subset of the cohort (~40,000). We determined associations of glucagon receptor variants and proglucagon with BMI, type 2 diabetes and liver fat (quantified by liver MRI) and performed survival analyses to investigate if elevated proglucagon predicts type 2 diabetes development. RESULTS Obesity, MASLD and type 2 diabetes were associated with elevated plasma levels of proglucagon independently of each other. Baseline proglucagon levels were associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes development over a 14 year follow-up period (HR 1.13; 95% CI 1.09, 1.17; n=1562; p=1.3×10-12). This association was of the same magnitude across strata of BMI. Carriers of glucagon receptor variants with reduced cAMP signalling had elevated levels of proglucagon (β 0.847; 95% CI 0.04, 1.66; n=17; p=0.04), and carriers of variants with a predicted frameshift mutation had higher levels of liver fat compared with the wild-type reference group (β 0.504; 95% CI 0.03, 0.98; n=11; p=0.04). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our findings support the suggestion that glucagon receptor signalling is involved in MASLD, that plasma levels of proglucagon are linked to the risk of type 2 diabetes development, and that proglucagon levels are influenced by genetic variation in the glucagon receptor, obesity, type 2 diabetes and MASLD. Determining the molecular signalling pathways downstream of glucagon receptor activation may guide the development of biased GLP-1/glucagon co-agonist with improved metabolic benefits.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), lifestyle factors, and the risk of osteoporosis (OP) is well-established. However, the impact of a healthy lifestyle on diabetes-related osteoporosis needs further investigation. Our objective was to explore if a combination of healthy lifestyle factors could mitigate the risk of OP in individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS This longitudinal analysis included 237,725 middle-aged and older participants. An overall lifestyle score, ranging from 0 to 7, was calculated by assigning a point for each of the seven healthy lifestyle factors, including no current smoking, non-excessive alcohol consumption, regular physical activity, healthy diet, adequate sleep duration, less sedentary behavior, and adequate sunshine exposure. RESULTS During a median follow-up 12.21 years, 5760 OP cases were documented. Participants with T2DM showed a higher risk of OP than those without diabetes. Compared with participants without diabetes who had a lifestyle score of 6-7, the hazard ratios (HRs) for OP were 1.58 (95% CI 1.23-2.03), 1.62 (95% CI 1.16-2.25), and 2.58 (95% CI 1.64-4.05) for participants with T2DM who had a lifestyle score of 4, 3, and 0-2, respectively. There was a graded association between higher lifestyle scores and lower risks of incident OP among participants without diabetes as well as among those with T2DM. We estimated that the population attributable fraction for not adhering to 6-7 lifestyle behaviors was 15.7%. CONCLUSIONS Participants with T2DM who adhered to a variety of healthy lifestyle factors demonstrated a substantially reduced risk of developing OP.

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, vitamin D receptor polymorphisms, and risk of infections among individuals with type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohort study. Am J Clin Nutr 2024; 120:398-406. [PMID: 38914226 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence on the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and infections among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a group susceptible to vitamin D deficiency and infections, is limited. OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine this association in individuals with T2D, and to evaluate whether genetic variants in vitamin D receptor (VDR) would modify this association. METHODS This study included 19,851 participants with T2D from United Kingdom Biobank. Infections were identified by linkage to hospital inpatient and death registers. Negative binomial regression models were used to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with adjustment of potential confounders. RESULTS In patients with T2D, the incidence rate of infections was 29.3/1000 person-y. Compared with those with 25(OH)D of 50.0-74.9 nmol/L, the multivariable-adjusted IRRs and 95% CIs of total infections, pneumonia, gastrointestinal infections, and sepsis were 1.44 (1.31, 1.59), 1.49 (1.27, 1.75), 1.47 (1.22, 1.78), and 1.41 (1.14, 1.73), respectively, in patients with 25(OH)D <25.0 nmol/L. Nonlinear inverse associations between 25(OH)D concentrations and the risks of total infections (P-overall < 0.001; P-nonlinear = 0.002) and gastrointestinal infections (P-overall < 0.001; P-nonlinear = 0.040) were observed, with a threshold effect at ∼50.0 nmol/L. The vitamin D-infection association was not modified by genetic variants in VDR (all P-interaction > 0.050). CONCLUSIONS In patients with T2D, lower serum 25(OH)D concentration (<50 nmol/L) was associated with higher risks of infections, regardless of genetic variants in VDR. Notably, nonlinear inverse associations between 25(OH)D concentrations and the risks of infections were found, with a threshold effect at ∼50.0 nmol/L. These findings highlighted the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D in reducing the risk of infections in patients with T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although frailty is associated with a range of adverse health outcomes, its association with the risk of hospital-treated infections is uncertain. METHODS A total of 416 220 participants from the UK Biobank were included in this prospective cohort study. Fried phenotype was adopted to evaluate frailty, which included 5 aspects (gait speed, physical activity, grip strength, exhaustion, and weight). More than 800 infectious diseases were identified based on electronic health records. Cox proportional models were used to estimate the associations. RESULTS During a median 12.3 years (interquartile range 11.4-13.2) of follow-up (4 747 345 person-years), there occurred 77 988 (18.7%) hospital-treated infections cases. In the fully adjusted model, compared with participants with nonfrail, the hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) of those with prefrail and frail for overall hospital-treated infections were 1.22 (1.20, 1.24) and 1.78 (1.72-1.84), respectively. The attributable risk proportion of prefrail and frail were 18.03% and 43.82%. Similarly, compared to those without frailty, the HRs (95% CIs) of those with frailty for bacterial infections were 1.76 (1.70-1.83), for viral infections were 1.62 (1.44-1.82), and for fungal infections were 1.75 (1.47-2.08). No association was found between frailty and parasitic infections (HR: 1.17; 95% CI: 0.62-2.20). CONCLUSIONS Frailty was significantly associated with a higher risk of hospital-treated infections, except for parasitic infections. Studies evaluating the effectiveness of implementing frailty assessments are needed to confirm our results.

Associations of social determinants of health with life expectancy and future health risks among individuals with type 2 diabetes: two nationwide cohort studies in the UK and USA. THE LANCET. HEALTHY LONGEVITY 2024; 5:e542-e551.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Social determinants of health (SDHs) are the primary drivers of preventable health inequities, and the associations between SDHs and health outcomes among individuals with type 2 diabetes remain unclear. This study aimed to estimate the associations of combined SDHs with life expectancy and future health risks among adults with type 2 diabetes from the UK and USA. METHODS In an analysis of two nationwide cohort studies, adults with type 2 diabetes were identified from the UK Biobank from March 13, 2006, to Oct 1, 2010 (adults aged 37-73 years) and the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018 (adults aged ≥20 years). Participants with type 2 diabetes at baseline were included in our analysis. Participants without information on SDHs or follow-up were excluded. The UK Biobank assessed 17 SDHs and the US NHANES assessed ten SDHs, with each SDH dichotomised into advantaged and disadvantaged levels. The combined score of SDHs were calculated as the sum of the weighted scores for each SDH. Participants were then categorised into tertiles (favourable, medium, and unfavourable SDH groups). Primary outcomes were life expectancy and mortality in both cohorts, and incidences of cardiovascular disease, diabetes-related microvascular disease, dementia, and cancer in the UK Biobank. Outcomes were obtained from disease registries up until Dec 31, 2021, in the UK Biobank and Dec 31, 2019, in the US NHANES cohorts. FINDINGS We included 17 321 participants from the UK Biobank cohort (median age 61·0 years [IQR 56·0-65·0]; 6028 [34·8%] women and 11 293 [65·2%] men) and 7885 participants from the NHANES cohort (mean age 59·2 years [95% CI 58·7-59·6]; 3835 [49·1%, weighted] women and 4050 [50·9%, weighted] men) in our analysis. In the UK Biobank, 3235 deaths (median follow-up 12·3 years [IQR 11·5-13·2]), 3010 incident cardiovascular disease (12·1 years [10·8-13·0]), 1997 diabetes-related microvascular disease (8·0 years [7·1-8·9]), 773 dementia (12·6 years [11·8-13·5]), and 2259 cancer cases (11·3 years [10·4-12·2]) were documented; and the US NHANES documented 2278 deaths during a median follow-up of 7·0 years (3·7-11·2). After multivariable adjustment, compared with the favourable SDH group, the hazard ratio was 1·33 (95% CI 1·21-1·46) in the medium SDH group and 1·89 (1·72-2·07) in the unfavourable SDH group in the UK Biobank cohort; 1·51 (1·34-1·70) in the medium SDH group and 2·02 (1·75-2·33) in the unfavourable SDH group in the US NHANES cohort for all-cause mortality; 1·13 (1·04-1·24) in the medium SDH group and 1·40 (1·27-1·53) in the unfavourable SDH group for incident cardiovascular disease; 1·13 (1·01-1·27) in the medium SDH group and 1·41 (1·26-1·59) in the unfavourable SDH group for incident diabetes-related microvascular disease; 1·35 (1·11-1·64) in the medium SDH group and 1·76 (1·46-2·13) in the unfavourable SDH group for incident dementia; and 1·02 (0·92-1·13) in the medium SDH group and 1·17 (1·05-1·30) in the unfavourable SDH group for incident cancer in the UK Biobank cohort (ptrend<0·010 for each category). At the age of 45 years, the mean life expectancy of participants was 1·6 years (0·6-2·3) shorter in the medium SDH group and 4·4 years (3·3-5·4) shorter in the unfavourable SDH group than in the favourable SDH group in the UK Biobank. In the US NHAHES cohort, the life expectancy was 1·7 years (0·6-2·7) shorter in the medium SDH group and 3·0 years (1·8-4·3) shorter in the unfavourable SDH group, compared with the favourable group. INTERPRETATION Combined unfavourable SDHs were associated with a greater loss of life expectancy and higher risks of developing future adverse health outcomes among adults with type 2 diabetes. These associations were similar across two nationwide cohorts from varied social contexts, and were largely consistent across populations with different demographic, lifestyle, and clinical features. Thus, assessing the combined SDHs of individuals with type 2 diabetes might be a promising approach to incorporate into diabetes care to identify socially vulnerable groups and reduce disease burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between mobile phone use and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) is uncertain. We aimed to examine the association of regular mobile phone use with incident CVD and explore the mediating effects of sleep and mental health. METHODS A total of 444,027 individuals from the UK Biobank without a history of CVD were included. Regular mobile phone use was defined as at least 1 call per week. Weekly mobile phone usage time was self-reported as the average time of calls per week over the previous 3 months. The primary outcome was incident CVD. The secondary outcomes included each component of CVD and increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). We applied Cox proportional hazard models to assess the association between mobile phone use and incident CVD, and mediation analyses to investigate the role of sleep patterns, psychologic distress, and neuroticism. RESULTS In a median follow-up period of 12.3 years, 56,181 individuals developed incident CVD. Compared with nonregular mobile phone users, regular mobile phone users had a significantly higher risk of incident CVD (hazard ratio 1.04, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.06) and increased CIMT (odds ratio 1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.18). Among regular mobile phone users, weekly mobile phone usage time was positively associated with the risk of incident CVD, especially in current smokers (P for interaction = 0.001) and diabetic individuals (P for interaction = 0.037). Of the relationship between weekly mobile phone usage time and incident CVD, 5.11% was mediated by sleep patterns, 11.5% by psychological distress, and 2.25% by neuroticism. CONCLUSIONS Weekly mobile phone usage time was positively associated with incident CVD risk, which was partly explained by poor sleep, psychologic distress, and neuroticism.

Inverse association between lung function and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: An observational and mendelian randomization study. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024:S0939-4753(24)00269-2. [PMID: 39168802 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2024.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The association between lung function with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the general population remains unknown. We aimed to examine the association between lung function and NAFLD among the general population in an observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS AND RESULTS 340, 253 participants without prior liver diseases were included from the UK Biobank. Of these, 30,397 participants had liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF) measurements by magnetic resonance image (MRI). Lung function parameters included forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC). The primary outcome was the presence of NAFLD, defined as a PDFF greater than 5.5%. The secondary outcome included incident severe NAFLD and severe liver diseases (including liver cirrhosis, liver failure, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver-related death), defined by the International Classification of Disease codes with different data sources. During a media follow-up duration of 9.3 years, 7335 (24.1%) the presence of NAFLD cases were documented. There was an inverse association of FEV1 (% predicted) (Per SD increment, adjusted OR = 0.91, 95%CI: 0.88-0.94) and FVC (% predicted) (Per SD increment, adjusted OR = 0.90, 95%CI: 0.87-0.92) with the presence of NAFLD. Similar results were found for incident severe NAFLD, severe liver disease, liver cirrhosis, liver failure and liver-related death. MR analyses showed that the genetically predicted FEV1 (adjusted OR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.46-0.87) and FVC (adjusted OR = 0.69, 95%CI: 0.51-0.95) were both inversely associated with the presence of NAFLD. CONCLUSIONS There was an inverse causal relationship between lung function and NAFLD in the general population.

Exome-wide evidence of compound heterozygous effects across common phenotypes in the UK Biobank. CELL GENOMICS 2024; 4:100602. [PMID: 38944039 PMCID: PMC11293579 DOI: 10.1016/j.xgen.2024.100602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
The phenotypic impact of compound heterozygous (CH) variation has not been investigated at the population scale. We phased rare variants (MAF ∼0.001%) in the UK Biobank (UKBB) exome-sequencing data to characterize recessive effects in 175,587 individuals across 311 common diseases. A total of 6.5% of individuals carry putatively damaging CH variants, 90% of which are only identifiable upon phasing rare variants (MAF < 0.38%). We identify six recessive gene-trait associations (p < 1.68 × 10-7) after accounting for relatedness, polygenicity, nearby common variants, and rare variant burden. Of these, just one is discovered when considering homozygosity alone. Using longitudinal health records, we additionally identify and replicate a novel association between bi-allelic variation in ATP2C2 and an earlier age at onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (p < 3.58 × 10-8). Genetic phase contributes to disease risk for gene-trait pairs: ATP2C2-COPD (p = 0.000238), FLG-asthma (p = 0.00205), and USH2A-visual impairment (p = 0.0084). We demonstrate the power of phasing large-scale genetic cohorts to discover phenome-wide consequences of compound heterozygosity.

Abstract
The UK Biobank (UKB) is a large cohort study that recruited over 500,000 British participants aged 40-69 in 2006-2010 at 22 assessment centers from across the United Kingdom. Self-reported health outcomes and hospital admission data are 2 types of records that include participants' disease status. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of death in the UKB cohort. After distinguishing between prevalence and incidence CAD events for all UKB participants, we identified geographical variations in age-standardized rates of CAD between assessment centers. Significant distributional differences were found between the pooled cohort equation scores of UKB participants from England and Scotland using the Mann-Whitney test. Polygenic risk scores of UKB participants from England and Scotland and from different assessment centers differed significantly using permutation tests. Our aim was to discriminate between assessment centers with different disease rates by collecting data on disease-related risk factors. However, relying solely on individual-level predictions and averaging them to obtain group-level predictions proved ineffective, particularly due to the presence of correlated covariates resulting from participation bias. By using the Mundlak model, which estimates a random effects regression by including the group means of the independent variables in the model, we effectively addressed these issues. In addition, we designed a simulation experiment to demonstrate the functionality of the Mundlak model. Our findings have applications in public health funding and strategy, as our approach can be used to predict case rates in the future, as both population structure and lifestyle changes are uncertain.

Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:2850-2859. [PMID: 38618988 PMCID: PMC11349284 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
AIM To prospectively assess the association of smoking timing with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and examine whether smoking amount or genetic susceptibility might modify the relationship. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 294 815 participants without diabetes from the UK Biobank, including non-smokers and smokers with data on the time from waking to first cigarette, were included. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between smoking timing and the risk of incident T2D. RESULTS During a median follow-up time of 12 years, a total of 9937 incident cases of T2D were documented. Compared with non-smokers, a shorter time from waking to first cigarette was significantly associated with a higher risk of incident T2D (P for trend < .001). In the fully adjusted model, the hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence interval) associated with smoking timing were 1.46 (1.17-1.81) for more than 2 hours, 1.51 (1.21-1.87) for 1-2 hours, 1.58 (1.34-1.85) for 30-60 minutes, 1.86 (1.57-2.21) for 5-15 minutes and 2.01 (1.60-2.54) for less than 5 minutes. We found that even among those who reported being light smokers, those with the shortest time from waking to first cigarette had a 105% higher risk of T2D with an HR of 2.05 (1.52-2.76), which was comparable with heavy smokers. The genetic risk score for T2D did not modify this association (P-interaction = .51). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that shorter time from waking to first cigarette is significantly associated with a higher risk of incident T2D.

Abstract
Incretin-based therapies are highly successful in combatting obesity and type 2 diabetes1. Yet both activation and inhibition of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor (GIPR) in combination with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP-1R) activation have resulted in similar clinical outcomes, as demonstrated by the GIPR-GLP-1R co-agonist tirzepatide2 and AMG-133 (ref. 3) combining GIPR antagonism with GLP-1R agonism. This underlines the importance of a better understanding of the GIP system. Here we show the necessity of β-arrestin recruitment for GIPR function, by combining in vitro pharmacological characterization of 47 GIPR variants with burden testing of clinical phenotypes and in vivo studies. Burden testing of variants with distinct ligand-binding capacity, Gs activation (cyclic adenosine monophosphate production) and β-arrestin 2 recruitment and internalization shows that unlike variants solely impaired in Gs signalling, variants impaired in both Gs and β-arrestin 2 recruitment contribute to lower adiposity-related traits. Endosomal Gs-mediated signalling of the variants shows a β-arrestin dependency and genetic ablation of β-arrestin 2 impairs cyclic adenosine monophosphate production and decreases GIP efficacy on glucose control in male mice. This study highlights a crucial impact of β-arrestins in regulating GIPR signalling and overall preservation of biological activity that may facilitate new developments in therapeutic targeting of the GIPR system.

Abstract
Prediabetes is a heterogenous metabolic state with various risks for development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In this study, we used genetic data on 7,227 US Hispanic/Latino participants without diabetes from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) and 400,149 non-Hispanic White participants without diabetes from the UK Biobank (UKBB) to calculate five partitioned polygenetic risk scores (pPRSs) representing various pathways related to T2D. Consensus clustering was performed in participants with prediabetes in HCHS/SOL (n = 3,677) and UKBB (n = 16,284) separately based on these pPRSs. Six clusters of individuals with prediabetes with distinctive patterns of pPRSs and corresponding metabolic traits were identified in the HCHS/SOL, five of which were confirmed in the UKBB. Although baseline glycemic traits were similar across clusters, individuals in cluster 5 and cluster 6 showed an elevated risk of T2D during follow-up compared with cluster 1 (risk ratios [RRs] 1.29 [95% CI 1.08, 1.53] and 1.34 [1.13, 1.60], respectively). Inverse associations between a healthy lifestyle score and risk of T2D were observed across different clusters, with a suggestively stronger association observed in cluster 5 compared with cluster 1. Among individuals with a healthy lifestyle, those in cluster 5 had a similar risk of T2D compared with those in cluster 1 (RR 1.03 [0.91, 1.18]). This study identified genetic subtypes of prediabetes that differed in risk of progression to T2D and in benefits from a healthy lifestyle. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
The potential for being able to identify individuals at high disease risk solely based on genotype data has garnered significant interest. Although widely applied, traditional polygenic risk scoring methods fall short, as they are built on additive models that fail to capture the intricate associations among single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This presents a limitation, as genetic diseases often arise from complex interactions between multiple SNPs. To address this challenge, we developed DeepRisk, a biological knowledge-driven deep learning method for modeling these complex, nonlinear associations among SNPs, to provide a more effective method for scoring the risk of common diseases with genome-wide genotype data. Evaluations demonstrated that DeepRisk outperforms existing PRS-based methods in identifying individuals at high risk for four common diseases: Alzheimer's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, type 2 diabetes, and breast cancer.

Cardiovascular health metrics defined by Life's Essential 8 scores and subsequent macrovascular and microvascular complications in individuals with type 2 diabetes: A prospective cohort study.

[PMID: 38558498 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the association between cardiovascular health metrics defined by Life's Essential 8 (LE8) scores and vascular complications among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 11 033 participants with T2D, all devoid of macrovascular diseases (including cardiovascular and peripheral artery disease) and microvascular complications (e.g. diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy) at baseline from the UK Biobank. The LE8 score comprised eight metrics: smoking, body mass index, physical activity, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, glycated haemoglobin, diet and sleep duration. Cox proportional hazards models were established to assess the associations of LE8 scores with incident macrovascular and microvascular complications. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.1 years, we identified 1975 cases of incident macrovascular diseases and 1797 cases of incident microvascular complications. After adjusting for potential confounders, each 10-point increase in the LE8 score was associated with an 18% lower risk of macrovascular diseases and a 15% lower risk of microvascular complications. Comparing individuals in the highest and lowest quartiles of LE8 scores revealed hazard ratios of 0.55 (95% confidence interval 0.47-0.62) for incident macrovascular diseases, and 0.61 (95% confidence interval 0.53-0.70) for incident microvascular complications. This association remained robust across a series of sensitivity analyses and nearly all subgroups. CONCLUSION Higher LE8 scores were associated with a lower risk of incident macrovascular and microvascular complications among individuals with T2D. These findings underscore the significance of adopting fundamental strategies to maintain optimal cardiovascular health and curtail the risk of developing diabetic vascular complications.

The role of accelerometer-derived sleep traits on glycated haemoglobin and glucose levels: a Mendelian randomization study. Sci Rep 2024; 14:14962. [PMID: 38942746 PMCID: PMC11213880 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58007-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Self-reported shorter/longer sleep duration, insomnia, and evening preference are associated with hyperglycaemia in observational analyses, with similar observations in small studies using accelerometer-derived sleep traits. Mendelian randomization (MR) studies support an effect of self-reported insomnia, but not others, on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). To explore potential effects, we used MR methods to assess effects of accelerometer-derived sleep traits (duration, mid-point least active 5-h, mid-point most active 10-h, sleep fragmentation, and efficiency) on HbA1c/glucose in European adults from the UK Biobank (UKB) (n = 73,797) and the MAGIC consortium (n = 146,806). Cross-trait linkage disequilibrium score regression was applied to determine genetic correlations across accelerometer-derived, self-reported sleep traits, and HbA1c/glucose. We found no causal effect of any accelerometer-derived sleep trait on HbA1c or glucose. Similar MR results for self-reported sleep traits in the UKB sub-sample with accelerometer-derived measures suggested our results were not explained by selection bias. Phenotypic and genetic correlation analyses suggested complex relationships between self-reported and accelerometer-derived traits indicating that they may reflect different types of exposure. These findings suggested accelerometer-derived sleep traits do not affect HbA1c. Accelerometer-derived measures of sleep duration and quality might not simply be 'objective' measures of self-reported sleep duration and insomnia, but rather captured different sleep characteristics.

Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Risk of Microvascular Complications Among Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Am J Kidney Dis 2024:S0272-6386(24)00839-4. [PMID: 38925507 DOI: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2024.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Social disconnection has been associated with poor cardiometabolic health. This study sought to investigate the associations of social isolation and loneliness with diabetic microvascular complications (DMCs) among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and compare these associations versus those related to traditional risk factors. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS A total of 24,297 UK Biobank participants with T2DM and no DMCs at baseline. EXPOSURE Social isolation and loneliness were measured using self-reported questionnaires. OUTCOME The incidence of DMCs defined as a composite of diabetic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, or diabetic neuropathy. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Multivariable cause-specific hazards regression. To compare the relative importance of social disconnection with other established factors, the R2 values of the Cox models were calculated. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.6 years, 5,530 patients were documented to experience DMCs (3,458 with diabetic kidney disease, 2,255 with diabetic retinopathy, and 1,146 with diabetic neuropathy). The highest level of social isolation was associated with an increased risk of any DMC component (most vs least: HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.05-1.22), especially diabetic kidney disease (HR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.04-1.25) and neuropathy (HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.11-1.53). Any level of loneliness was associated with an increased risk of any DMC component (HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.02-1.23) and diabetic kidney disease (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03-1.30). Social isolation and loneliness exhibited associations with DMCs comparable to those of other conventional risk factors, including smoking, blood pressure, and physical activity. LIMITATIONS Limited generalizability related to the composition of participants in the UK Biobank Study. CONCLUSIONS Social isolation and loneliness were independently associated with a higher risk of incident DMCs among individuals with T2DM, with comparable importance to other traditional risk factors. These findings underscore social isolation and loneliness as novel and potentially modifiable risk factors for DMCs. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY Social isolation and loneliness are important social determinants that are associated with adverse cardiometabolic health. Individuals with diabetes are particularly vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness. However, the relationship of social isolation or loneliness with diabetic microvascular complications (DMCs) remains unclear. Our study used the UK Biobank study data to investigate the associations of social isolation and loneliness with the development of DMCs. We found that social isolation and loneliness were independently associated with a higher risk of incident DMCs. Remarkably, their association with DMCs was comparable to those of other lifestyle factors such as smoking, blood pressure, and physical activity. These findings collectively imply that social isolation and loneliness are 2 important potentially modifiable risk factors for DMCs among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We previously identified a genetic subtype (C4) of type 2 diabetes (T2D), benefitting from intensive glycemia treatment in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial. Here, we characterized the population of patients that met the C4 criteria in the UKBiobank cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using our polygenic score (PS), we identified C4 individuals in the UKBiobank and tested C4 status with risk of developing T2D, cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes, and differences in T2D medications. RESULTS C4 individuals were less likely to develop T2D, were slightly older at T2D diagnosis, had lower HbA1c values, and were less likely to be prescribed T2D medications (P < .05). Genetic variants in MAS1 and IGF2R, major components of the C4 PS, were associated with fewer overall T2D prescriptions. CONCLUSION We have confirmed C4 individuals are a lower risk subpopulation of patients with T2D.

Abstract
Background Electronic health records (EHRs) have the potential to be used to produce detailed disease burden estimates. In this study we created disease estimates using national EHR for three high burden conditions, compared estimates between linked and unlinked datasets and produced stratified estimates by age, sex, ethnicity, socio-economic deprivation and geographical region. Methods EHRs containing primary care (Clinical Practice Research Datalink), secondary care (Hospital Episode Statistics) and mortality records (Office for National Statistics) were used. We used existing disease phenotyping algorithms to identify cases of cancer (breast, lung, colorectal and prostate), type 1 and 2 diabetes, and lower back pain. We calculated age-standardised incidence of first cancer, point prevalence for diabetes, and primary care consultation prevalence for low back pain. Results 7.2 million people contributing 45.3 million person-years of active follow-up between 2000-2014 were included. CPRD-HES combined and CPRD-HES-ONS combined lung and bowel cancer incidence estimates by sex were similar to cancer registry estimates. Linked CPRD-HES estimates for combined Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes were consistently higher than those of CPRD alone, with the difference steadily increasing over time from 0.26% (2.99% for CPRD-HES vs. 2.73 for CPRD) in 2002 to 0.58% (6.17% vs. 5.59) in 2013. Low back pain prevalence was highest in the most deprived quintile and when compared to the least deprived quintile the difference in prevalence increased over time between 2000 and 2013, with the largest difference of 27% (558.70 per 10,000 people vs 438.20) in 2013. Conclusions We use national EHRs to produce estimates of burden of disease to produce detailed estimates by deprivation, ethnicity and geographical region. National EHRs have the potential to improve disease burden estimates at a local and global level and may serve as more automated, timely and precise inputs for policy making and global burden of disease estimation.

Abstract
Polygenic scores (PGSs) provide an individual level estimate of genetic risk for any given disease. Since most PGSs have been derived from genome wide association studies (GWASs) conducted in populations of White European ancestry, their validity in other ancestry groups remains unconfirmed. This is especially relevant for cardiometabolic diseases which are known to disproportionately affect people of non-European ancestry. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the performance of PGSs for glycaemic traits (glycated haemoglobin, and type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus), cardiometabolic risk factors (body mass index, hypertension, high- and low-density lipoproteins, and total cholesterol and triglycerides) and cardiovascular diseases (including stroke and coronary artery disease) in people of White European, South Asian, and African Caribbean ethnicity in the UK Biobank. Whilst PGSs incorporated some GWAS data from multi-ethnic populations, the vast majority originated from White Europeans. For most outcomes, PGSs derived mostly from European populations had an overall better performance in White Europeans compared to South Asians and African Caribbeans. Thus, multi-ancestry GWAS data are needed to derive ancestry stratified PGSs to tackle health inequalities.

Population incidence and associated mortality of urinary tract infection in people living with dementia. J Infect 2024; 88:106167.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Urinary tract infections (UTIs) frequently cause hospitalisation and death in people living with dementia (PLWD). We examine UTI incidence and associated mortality among PLWD relative to matched controls and people with diabetes and investigate whether delayed or withheld treatment further impacts mortality. METHODS Data were extracted for n = 2,449,814 people aged ≥ 50 in Wales from 2000-2021, with groups matched by age, sex, and multimorbidity. Poisson regression was used to estimate incidences of UTI and mortality. Cox regression was used to study the effects of treatment timing. RESULTS UTIs in dementia (HR=2.18, 95 %CI [1.88-2.53], p < .0) and diabetes (1.21[1.01-1.45], p = .035) were associated with high mortality, with the highest risk in individuals with diabetes and dementia (both) (2.83[2.40-3.34], p < .0) compared to matched individuals with neither dementia nor diabetes. 5.4 % of untreated PLWD died within 60 days of GP diagnosis-increasing to 5.9 % in PLWD with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Incidences of UTI and associated mortality are high in PLWD, especially in those with diabetes and dementia. Delayed treatment for UTI is further associated with high mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between dietary manganese (Mn) intake and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the associations of dietary Mn intake with incident VTE, and the underlying mediating roles of obesity markers (body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference), hemorheological parameters (red cell distribution width [RDW], platelet count [PLT], and mean platelet volume [MPV]), and inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein [CRP] and white blood cell count [WBC]) in this association. METHODS A total of 202,507 adults from the UK Biobank with complete dietary data and without VTE at baseline were included. Dietary information was collected by the online 24-hour diet recall questionnaires (Oxford WebQ). The primary outcome was incident VTE, a composite of incident deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). RESULTS During a median follow-up of 11.6 years, 4,750 participants developed incident VTE. Overall, there were significantly inverse relationships of dietary Mn intake with incident VTE (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.90-0.95), incident DVT (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted HR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0. 90-0.96), and incident PE (per 1 mg/day increment; adjusted HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.88-0.95). BMI, waist circumference, RDW, CRP, and WBC significantly mediated the association between dietary Mn intake and incident VTE, with the mediated proportions of 36.0, 36.5, 4.2, 4.3, and 1.6%, respectively. However, MPV and PLT did not significantly mediate the association. CONCLUSION Our study shows that dietary Mn intake was inversely associated with incident VTE. The inverse association was mainly mediated by obesity, followed by inflammatory biomarkers and RDW. Our findings are just hypothesis-generating, and further confirmation of our findings in more studies is essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of cardiovascular health levels, as measured by the Life's Essential 8 score, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has not been fully elucidated. METHODS This cohort study included 15,118 participants with T2D from the UK Biobank who were free of CVD and cancer at baseline. The cardiovascular health of participants was evaluated using the Life's Essential 8 score, categorizing their health levels into low, moderate, and high based on this assessment. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 13.0 years, we observed a total of 4421 cases of CVD, comprising 3467 cases of coronary heart disease (CHD), 811 cases of stroke, 1465 cases of heart failure (HF), and 523 cases of CVD mortality. Compared to participants with low cardiovascular health, those with high cardiovascular health had a 52 %, 50 %, 47 %, 67 %, and 51 % lower risk of CVD, CHD, stroke, HF, and CVD mortality, respectively. Among the components of the Life's Essential 8 score, body mass index showed the highest population attributable risk of 12.1 %. Similar findings were observed in joint analyses of cardiovascular health and diabetes severity status. CONCLUSIONS This study emphasizes the importance of maintaining good cardiovascular health among individuals with T2D to reduce their risk of CVD incidence and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The longitudinal association between infectious diseases and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear. METHODS Based on the UK Biobank, the prospective cohort study included a total of 396,080 participants without diabetes at baseline. We determined the types and sites of infectious diseases and incident T2D using the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision codes (ICD-10). Time-varying Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the association. Infection burden was defined as the number of infection episodes over time and the number of co-occurring infections. Genetic risk score (GRS) for T2D consisted of 424 single nucleotide polymorphisms. RESULTS During a median of 9.04 [IQR, 8.3-9.7] years of follow-up, hospital-treated infectious diseases were associated with a greater risk of T2D (adjusted HR [aHR] 1.54 [95 % CI 1.46-1.61]), with risk difference per 10,000 individuals equal to 154.1 [95 % CI 140.7-168.2]. The heightened risk persisted after 5 years following the index infection. Bacterial infection with sepsis had the strongest risk of T2D (aHR 2.95 [95 % CI 2.53-3.44]) among different infection types. For site-specific analysis, bloodstream infections posed the greatest risk (3.01 [95 % CI 2.60-3.48]). A dose-response association was observed between infection burden and T2D risk within each GRS tertile (p-trend <0.001). High genetic risk and infection synergistically increased the T2D risk. CONCLUSION Infectious diseases were associated with an increased risk of subsequent T2D. The risk showed specificity according to types, sites, severity of infection and the period since infection occurred. A potential accumulative effect of infection was revealed.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) shows heterogeneous body mass index (BMI) sensitivity. Here, we performed stratification based on BMI to optimize predictions for BMI-related diseases. We obtained BMI-stratified datasets using data from more than 195,000 individuals (nT2D = 55,284) from BioBank Japan (BBJ) and UK Biobank. T2D heritability in the low-BMI group was greater than that in the high-BMI group. Polygenic predictions of T2D toward low-BMI targets had pseudo-R2 values that were more than 22% higher than BMI-unstratified targets. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) from low-BMI discovery outperformed PRSs from high BMI, while PRSs from BMI-unstratified discovery performed best. Pathway-specific PRSs demonstrated the biological contributions of pathogenic pathways. Low-BMI T2D cases showed higher rates of neuropathy and retinopathy. Combining BMI stratification and a method integrating cross-population effects, T2D predictions showed greater than 37% improvements over unstratified-matched-population prediction. We replicated findings in the Tohoku Medical Megabank (n = 26,000) and the second BBJ cohort (n = 33,096). Our findings suggest that target stratification based on existing traits can improve the polygenic prediction of heterogeneous diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impacts of long-term exposure to air pollution on the risk of subsequent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is ambiguous. The modifying role of Life's Essential 8 (LE8) remains unknown. METHODS This study included 23,129 participants with T2D at baseline from the UK Biobank. Annual means of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and particulate matter (PM2.5, PM2.5-10, PM10) were estimated using the land-use regression model for each participant. The associations between exposure to air pollution and the risk of severe NAFLD were evaluated using Cox proportional hazard models. The effect modification of LE8 was assessed through stratified analyses. RESULTS During a median 13.6 years of follow-up, a total of 1,123 severe NAFLD cases occurred. After fully adjusting for potential covariates, higher levels of PM2.5 (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.12, 95%CI:1.02, 1.23 per interquartile range [IQR] increment), NO2 (HR = 1.15, 95%CI:1.04, 1.27), and NOX (HR = 1.08, 95%CI:1.01, 1.17) were associated with an elevated risk of severe NAFLD. In addition, LE8 score was negatively associated with the risk of NAFLD (HR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.97, 0.98 per point increment). Compared with those who had low air pollution and high LE8, participants with a high air pollution exposure and low LE8 had a significantly higher risk of severe NAFLD. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that long-term exposure to air pollution was associated with an elevated risk of severe NAFLD among participants with T2D. A lower LE8 may increase the adverse impacts of air pollution on NAFLD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between tea consumption and venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the association between tea consumption with different additives (milk and/or sweeteners) and incident VTE, and the modifying effects of genetic variation in caffeine metabolism on the association. METHODS A total of 190,189 participants with complete dietary information and free of VTE at baseline in the UK Biobank were included. The primary outcome was incident VTE, including incident deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.1 years, 4,485 (2.4%) participants developed incident VTE. Compared with non-tea drinkers, tea drinkers who added neither milk nor sweeteners (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.85; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.76-0.94), only milk (HR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.80-0.93), and both milk and sweeteners to their tea (HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.81-0.99) had a lower risk of VTE, while those who added only sweeteners to their tea did not (HR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.75-1.17). Moreover, there was an L-shaped relationship between tea consumption and incident VTE among tea drinkers who added neither milk nor sweeteners, only milk, and both milk and sweeteners to their tea, respectively. However, a nonsignificant association was found among tea drinkers who added only sweeteners to their tea. Genetic variation in caffeine metabolism did not significantly modify the association (p-interaction = 0.659). CONCLUSION Drinking unsweetened tea, with or without added milk, was associated with a lower risk of VTE. However, there was no significant association between drinking tea with sweeteners and incident VTE.

Chin Med J (Engl) 2024; 137:1088-1094. [PMID: 37668042 PMCID: PMC11062687 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000002805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are associated with the long-term risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the prospective association of FGIDs with CKD and examine whether mental health mediated the association. METHODS About 416,258 participants without a prior CKD diagnosis enrolled in the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2010 were included. Participants with FGIDs (including irritable bowel syndrome [IBS], dyspepsia, and other functional intestinal disorders [FIDs; mainly composed of constipation]) were the exposure group, and non-FGID participants were the non-exposure group. The primary outcome was incident CKD, ascertained from hospital admission and death registry records. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to investigate the association between FGIDs and CKD, and the mediation analysis was performed to investigate the mediation proportions of mental health. RESULTS At baseline, 33,156 (8.0%) participants were diagnosed with FGIDs, including 21,060 (5.1%), 8262 (2.0%), and 6437 (1.6%) cases of IBS, dyspepsia, and other FIDs, respectively. During a mean follow-up period of 12.1 years, 11,001 (2.6%) participants developed CKD. FGIDs were significantly associated with a higher risk of incident CKD compared to the absence of FGIDs (hazard ratio [HR], 1.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28-1.44). Similar results were observed for IBS (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.17-1.38), dyspepsia (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.17-1.44), and other FIDs (HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.43-1.79). Mediation analyses suggested that the mental health score significantly mediated 9.05% of the association of FGIDs with incident CKD and 5.63-13.97% of the associations of FGID subtypes with CKD. Specifically, the positive associations of FGIDs and FGID subtypes with CKD were more pronounced in participants with a high genetic risk of CKD. CONCLUSION Participants with FGIDs had a higher risk of incident CKD, which was partly explained by mental health scores and was more pronounced in those with high genetic susceptibility to CKD.

The use of potentially interacting supplement-drug pairs in adults with type 2 diabetes: A large population-based cohort study in the UK Biobank. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2024; 211:111658. [PMID: 38583779 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2024.111658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To examine the patterns of use of potentially interacting supplement-drug pairs in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in real-world settings, and to explore the impact of potentially interacting supplement-drug pairs on downstream outcomes. METHODS Potentially interacting supplement-drug pairs were identified from four tertiary databases. We categorized the potential pharmacodynamic interactions into different clinical types according to their related outcomes and explored their associations with incident outcomes using Cox models. RESULTS 26,394 participants with T2D in the UK Biobank were included. Half (48.5 %) were supplement users, of whom 85.0 % were taking potentially interacting supplement-drug pairs. The potential pharmacodynamic interactions were related to various clinical outcomes, including reducing the effects of glucose-lowering drugs (50.7 %), hypotension (49.8 %), bleeding (50.4 %) and hepatotoxicity (34.8 %). Exploratory analyses found that the use of potentially interacting supplement-drug pairs was associated with incident hepatic diseases (hazard ratio = 1.26, 95 % confidence interval 1.10-1.44, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Real-world data suggests that most adults with T2D who concurrently used supplements and drugs were on potentially interacting supplement-drug combinations, with the potential of causing adverse outcomes such as incident hepatic diseases. Clinicians should communicate with patients and assess the potential risk of supplement-drug interactions in clinical settings.
