Abstract

Background: Most studies focus solely on the relationship between parity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk, providing limited insights into other contributing or protective factors. This study aims to explore the complex relationship between parity and T2DM risk, considering additional factors such as obesity, race, and body composition.

Methods: This prospective cohort study used data from 242,159 women aged 40 to 69 from the UK Biobank, none of whom had T2DM at baseline. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were applied to assess the association between parity and T2DM. Subgroup analyses were performed based on body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and race.

Results: The hazard ratio for T2DM per additional child was 1.16 (95% confidence interval, 1.13 to 1.16). Subgroup analysis revealed that Asian women and those with obesity or abdominal obesity had a higher risk of T2DM associated with multiparity. No increased risk was observed in women with normal BMI or WC. Mediation analysis showed that WC and BMI significantly mediated the parity-T2DM relationship, accounting for 49% and 38% of the effect, respectively.

Conclusion: There is a clear positive association between multiparity and T2DM risk, particularly in Asian women and those with obesity. Maintaining normal BMI and WC appears to mitigate this risk, highlighting the importance of weight management for women at higher parity levels. These findings offer crucial insights for public health interventions aimed at reducing T2DM risk among women.

期刊介绍： The aims of the Diabetes & Metabolism Journal are to contribute to the cure of and education about diabetes mellitus, and the advancement of diabetology through the sharing of scientific information on the latest developments in diabetology among members of the Korean Diabetes Association and other international societies. The Journal publishes articles on basic and clinical studies, focusing on areas such as metabolism, epidemiology, pathogenesis, complications, and treatments relevant to diabetes mellitus. It also publishes articles covering obesity and cardiovascular disease. Articles on translational research and timely issues including ubiquitous care or new technology in the management of diabetes and metabolic disorders are welcome. In addition, genome research, meta-analysis, and randomized controlled studies are welcome for publication. The editorial board invites articles from international research or clinical study groups. Publication is determined by the editors and peer reviewers, who are experts in their specific fields of diabetology.
