Papers on type 2 diabetes risk

Who was studied6,529 older adults living in Germany, against adults with lowest blood protein levels

What changedDiabetes risk showed no clear difference between highest and lowest protein levels: hazard ratio 1.08 [0.89-1.30]

The catchOther health changes could drive both protein declines and diabetes risk

Who was studiedUK Biobank and Chinese cohort participants

What changedOne fatty liver genetic score was linked to lower diabetes risk; the others were linked to higher risk

The catchDiabetes risk after changing liver fat was not measured

Who was studied155,413 UK Biobank participants without type 2 diabetes

What changedDiabetes risk was lower with highest versus lowest Knuppel diet adherence (hazard ratio 0.83)

The catchDiet assessment allowed one 24-hour recall, which can misrepresent usual eating patterns

Who was studied460,797 UK Biobank participants without diabetes at baseline, median 16.5 years

What changedThe diabetes risk gap between the least and most educated widened across generations: hazard ratios rose from 1.78 to 2.26

The catchEarlier birth cohorts included healthier survivors, potentially exaggerating the widening of educational inequalities

Who was studiedRetired adults, mean 4.6 years

What changedType 2 diabetes odds were 6% higher per twofold rise in blood triphenyl phosphate

The catchBaseline blood measurements may misclassify chemical exposure during follow-up
