Sex‐specific differences in the prevalence of intermediate hyperglycaemia states: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
There are sex‐specific disparities in the prevalence of different isolated intermediate hyperglycaemic states, which, in the context of clinical guidance to use FPG or HbA1c for identification, may contribute to underdiagnosis and undertreatment in primary care and introduce ascertainment bias into research and policy. Abstract Aims To evaluate the sex‐

Waist‐to‐Height Ratio and the Risk of Cardiovascular Outcomes and Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes With and Without Abdominal Obesity

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) has been suggested as a superior marker of cardiometabolic risk compared to waist circumference (WC), but evidence in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains limited. Materials and Methods A population‐based cohort of 2 076 104 patients with T2DM who underwent the Korean national health checkup between 2015 and

Polygenic Risk Score Predicts Prostate Cancer Risk Independent of Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been inversely associated with prostate cancer (PrCa) risk. However, it remains unclear whether a polygenic risk score (PRS) for PrCa can effectively stratify risk among men with T2DM. The primary objective of this study was to assess whether a PrCa PRS predicts PrCa risk independently of T2DM status ...
