Abstract
Aim: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to clarify the relationship between the type of first-degree family history of diabetes (FHD) and the presence and age at onset of diabetes (AOD) in the Japanese general population.
Material and methods: Using anonymized processed data collected from community-based health checkups, we classified 10,691 subjects into 5 groups according to the type of FHD as follows: (1) no FHD; (2) diabetes only in a sibling (sFHD); (3) diabetes only in the mother (mFHD); (4) diabetes only in the father (pFHD); and (5) diabetes in ≥ 2 family members, e.g., one parent plus a sibling or both parents (FHD in ≥ 2 family members).
Result: Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis performed using the no FHD group as reference revealed a significant association between a positive FHD and the presence of diabetes (odds ratio: sFHD, 3.67; mFHD, 3.70; pFHD, 2.88; FHD in ≥ 2 family members, 6.35; P < 0.0001 for all). Moreover, the AOD was significantly younger in all the four groups with FHD than in the group without FHD (P < 0.01), being the youngest in the group of FHD in ≥ 2 family members.
Conclusion: Our results revealed that the degree of associations between a positive FHD and the presence of diabetes and AOD differ according to the type of FHD. In particular, FHD in ≥ 2 family members appears to be especially strongly associated with a high risk of diabetes and a younger AOD.
期刊介绍:
Diabetology International, the official journal of the Japan Diabetes Society, publishes original research articles about experimental research and clinical studies in diabetes and related areas. The journal also presents editorials, reviews, commentaries, reports of expert committees, and case reports on any aspect of diabetes. Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed to assure that high-quality information in the field of diabetes is made available to readers. Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author''s confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editors. The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
