The prevalence of diabetic neuropathy in Greenland and its association with Inuit genetic ancestry - a cross-sectional study.
Aims: Data on diabetic neuropathies in Greenland remains limited. The aim was to estimate the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) among Greenlanders with diabetes and prediabetes and investigate whether Inuit ancestry contributes to higher susceptibility.
Methods: Individuals with diabetes and prediabetes from the Greenland Population Survey 2018 were examined for DPN (Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT) and light pressure) and CAN (Cardiovascular Reflex Tests and Heart Rate Variability). Inuit genetic admixture was included as a determinant in regression models adjusted for age, sex, genetics, diabetes status and residency.
Results: Among 447 participants (1/3 diabetes, median age 61, 57 % female) DPN prevalence was 28 % in diabetes and 25 % in prediabetes. CAN prevalence was 24 % and 15 %, respectively. A 20-percentage point change in Inuit ancestry was associated with a 4 % higher VPT (coefficient: 1.04, 95 % CI: 1.003-1.08) and 51 % higher odds of CAN (OR: 1.51, 95 % CI: 1.09-2.08).
Conclusions: DPN and CAN are common among Greenlanders with diabetes and prediabetes, highlighting the need for improved diagnostics and prevention. The association between Inuit genetic ancestry and neuropathy suggests a predisposition to neuropathy among Inuit, which may be explained by both genetic and lifestyle factors.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications (JDC) is a journal for health care practitioners and researchers, that publishes original research about the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications. JDC also publishes articles on physiological and molecular aspects of glucose homeostasis.
The primary purpose of JDC is to act as a source of information usable by diabetes practitioners and researchers to increase their knowledge about mechanisms of diabetes and complications development, and promote better management of people with diabetes who are at risk for those complications.
Manuscripts submitted to JDC can report any aspect of basic, translational or clinical research as well as epidemiology. Topics can range broadly from early prediabetes to late-stage complicated diabetes. Topics relevant to basic/translational reports include pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, altered adipose tissue function in diabetes, altered neuronal control of glucose homeostasis and mechanisms of drug action. Topics relevant to diabetic complications include diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy; peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal disorders, renal failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
