Weight change and mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with new-onset diabetes mellitus: a nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Because weight control is a cornerstone of diabetes management, it is important to understand the relationship of weight change to risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). We aimed to investigate whether changes in weight early after diagnosis influence the incidence of CVD and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 DM.

Methods

Using nationally representative data from the Korean National Health Insurance System, 173,246 subjects with new-onset DM who underwent health examinations during 2007-2012 were included. Weight was measured at the time of diabetes diagnosis and 2 years later. Weight change over 2 years was divided into five categories of 5% weight change, from weight loss ≥ - 10% to weight gain ≥ 10%.

Results

There were 3113 deaths (1.8%), 2060 cases of stroke (1.2%), and 1767 myocardial infarctions (MIs) (1.0%) during a median follow-up of 5.5 years. Subjects with weight gain ≥ 10% had a significantly higher risk of stroke (hazard ratio [HR] 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-1.84), compared with the group with stable weight. There was no significant association between weight change after diagnosis of DM and incident MI. All-cause mortality showed a U-shaped curve according to weight change. The group with weight loss ≥ - 10% had the highest HR for all-cause mortality (HR 1.86; 95% CI 1.61-2.14) and the HR for weight gain ≥ 10% was 1.61 (95% CI 1.37-1.89).

Conclusions

Weight changes of more than 10% after diabetes diagnosis were associated with higher mortality and over 10% weight gain was associated with increased risk of stroke.

Project description:BackgroundBeing overweight is an important risk factor for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), but the underlying mechanisms are not understood. Weight change between pregnancies has been suggested to be an independent mechanism behind GDM. We assessed the risk for GDM in second pregnancy by change in Body Mass Index (BMI) from first to second pregnancy and whether BMI and gestational weight gain modified the risk.Methods and findingsIn this observational cohort, we included 24,198 mothers and their 2 first pregnancies in data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway (2006-2014). Weight change, defined as prepregnant BMI in second pregnancy minus prepregnant BMI in first pregnancy, was divided into 6 categories by units BMI (kilo/square meter). Relative risk (RR) estimates were obtained by general linear models for the binary family and adjusted for maternal age at second delivery, country of birth, education, smoking in pregnancy, interpregnancy interval, and year of second birth. Analyses were stratified by BMI (first pregnancy) and gestational weight gain (second pregnancy). Compared to women with stable BMI (-1 to 1), women who gained weight between pregnancies had higher risk of GDM-gaining 1 to 2 units: adjusted RR 2.0 (95% CI 1.5 to 2.7), 2 to 4 units: RR 2.6 (2.0 to 3.5), and ≥4 units: RR 5.4 (4.0 to 7.4). Risk increased significantly both for women with BMI below and above 25 at first pregnancy, although it increased more for the former group. A limitation in our study was the limited data on BMI in 2 pregnancies.ConclusionsThe risk of GDM increased with increasing weight gain from first to second pregnancy, and more strongly among women with BMI < 25 in first pregnancy. Our results suggest weight change as a metabolic mechanism behind the increased risk of GDM, thus weight change should be acknowledged as an independent factor for screening GDM in clinical guidelines. Promoting healthy weight from preconception through the postpartum period should be a target.

Project description:Background and Objectives: While the connection between decreased kidney function and diabetes mellitus (DM) is commonly acknowledged, there is insufficient research examining the relationship between higher-than-normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the incidence risk of new-onset DM. Our research aimed to explore the relationship between an eGFR and the incidence risk of new-onset DM in the Korean general population through a nationwide longitudinal study. Methods: This research employed the cohort records of the National Health Insurance Service in Korea, analyzing records from 2,294,358 individuals between the ages of 20 and 79 who underwent health check-ups between 2010 and 2011. The eGFR levels from the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation were used to assess the renal function. New-onset DM was defined as two or more claims with the International Classification of Diseases-10 classification codes E10 to E14, being prescribed any medication for lowering blood glucose, or having a record of fasting plasma glucose levels of ≥126 mg/dL from a health examination after the index date. Results: The mean age of subjects was 47.34 ± 13.76 years. The 150,813 (6.57%) new-onset DM cases were identified over a median follow-up of 9.63 years. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, in comparison with the 5th decile, the 10th (≥114.12 mL/min/1.73 m2) (hazard ratio (HR): 0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.50-0.54), p < 0.001) eGFR decile was significantly associated with a decreased incidence of new-onset DM. Moreover, eGFR >120 mL/min/1.73 m2 was associated with a reduced risk of new-onset DM (HR: 0.40, 95% CI (0.39-0.42), p < 0.001). These results were consistent regardless of the presence of impaired glucose tolerance, age, or obesity. Conclusion: Our study showed higher-than-normal eGFR levels were associated with a lower risk of incidence for new-onset DM regardless of the presence of impaired glucose tolerance, age, or obesity. In general population, higher-than-normal eGFR may be associated with a lower risk of incidence of new-onset DM.

Project description:BackgroundPeople with type 1 diabetes are at elevated risk of mortality and cardiovascular disease, yet current guidelines do not consider age of onset as an important risk stratifier. We aimed to examine how age at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes relates to excess mortality and cardiovascular risk.MethodsWe did a nationwide, register-based cohort study of individuals with type 1 diabetes in the Swedish National Diabetes Register and matched controls from the general population. We included patients with at least one registration between Jan 1, 1998, and Dec 31, 2012. Using Cox regression, and with adjustment for diabetes duration, we estimated the excess risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, non-cardiovascular mortality, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular disease (a composite of acute myocardial infarction and stroke), coronary heart disease, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. Individuals with type 1 diabetes were categorised into five groups, according to age at diagnosis: 0-10 years, 11-15 years, 16-20 years, 21-25 years, and 26-30 years.Findings27 195 individuals with type 1 diabetes and 135 178 matched controls were selected for this study. 959 individuals with type 1 diabetes and 1501 controls died during follow-up (median follow-up was 10 years). Patients who developed type 1 diabetes at 0-10 years of age had hazard ratios of 4·11 (95% CI 3·24-5·22) for all-cause mortality, 7·38 (3·65-14·94) for cardiovascular mortality, 3·96 (3·06-5·11) for non-cardiovascular mortality, 11·44 (7·95-16·44) for cardiovascular disease, 30·50 (19·98-46·57) for coronary heart disease, 30·95 (17·59-54·45) for acute myocardial infarction, 6·45 (4·04-10·31) for stroke, 12·90 (7·39-22·51) for heart failure, and 1·17 (0·62-2·20) for atrial fibrillation. Corresponding hazard ratios for individuals who developed type 1 diabetes aged 26-30 years were 2·83 (95% CI 2·38-3·37) for all-cause mortality, 3·64 (2·34-5·66) for cardiovascular mortality, 2·78 (2·29-3·38) for non-cardiovascular mortality, 3·85 (3·05-4·87) for cardiovascular disease, 6·08 (4·71-7·84) for coronary heart disease, 5·77 (4·08-8·16) for acute myocardial infarction, 3·22 (2·35-4·42) for stroke, 5·07 (3·55-7·22) for heart failure, and 1·18 (0·79-1·77) for atrial fibrillation; hence the excess risk differed by up to five times across the diagnosis age groups. The highest overall incidence rate, noted for all-cause mortality, was 1·9 (95% CI 1·71-2·11) per 100 000 person-years for people with type 1 diabetes. Development of type 1 diabetes before 10 years of age resulted in a loss of 17·7 life-years (95% CI 14·5-20·4) for women and 14·2 life-years (12·1-18·2) for men.InterpretationAge at onset of type 1 diabetes is an important determinant of survival, as well as all cardiovascular outcomes, with highest excess risk in women. Greater focus on cardioprotection might be warranted in people with early-onset type 1 diabetes.FundingSwedish Heart and Lung Foundation.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Prevalent diabetes at the time of heart failure (HF) diagnosis is associated with a higher risk of death, but the incidence and prognostic importance of new-onset diabetes in patients with established HF remains unknown. METHODS:Patients with a first hospitalization for HF in the period 2003-2014 were included and stratified according to history of diabetes. Annual incidence rates of new-onset diabetes were calculated and time-dependent multivariable Cox regression models were used to compare the risk of death in patients with prevalent and new-onset diabetes with patients without diabetes as reference. The model was adjusted for age, sex, duration of HF, educational level and comorbidity. Covariates were continuously updated throughout follow-up. RESULTS:A total of 104,522 HF patients were included in the study, of which 21,216 (19%) patients had diabetes at baseline, and 8164 (10%) developed new-onset diabetes during a mean follow-up of 3.9 years. Patients with new-onset diabetes and prevalent diabetes were slightly younger than patients without diabetes (70 vs. 74 and 77, respectively), more likely to be men (62% vs. 60% and 54%), and had more comorbidities expect for ischemic heart disease, hypertension and chronic kidney disease which were more prevalent among patients with prevalent diabetes. Incidence rates of new-onset diabetes increased from around 2 per 100 person-years in the first years following HF hospitalization up to 3 per 100 person-years after 5 years of follow-up. A total of 61,424 (59%) patients died during the study period with event rates per 100 person-years of 21.5 for new-onset diabetes, 17.9 for prevalent diabetes and 13.9 for patients without diabetes. Compared to patients without diabetes, new-onset diabetes was associated with a higher risk of death (adjusted HR 1.47; 95% CI 1.42-1.52) and prevalent diabetes was associated with an intermediate risk (HR 1.19; 95% CI, 1.16-1.21). CONCLUSION:Following the first HF hospitalization, the incidence of new-onset diabetes was around 2% per year, rising to 3% after 5 years of follow-up. New-onset diabetes was associated with an increased risk of death, compared to HF patients with prevalent diabetes (intermediate risk) and HF patients without diabetes.

Project description:The empirical evidence remains inconclusive for an association between diabetes mellitus (DM) in children and early-onset kidney disease later in life, and little is known about the effects of DM types (i.e., type 1 diabetes [T1DM] and type 2 diabetes [T2DM]) in childhood on type-specific kidney diseases. We aimed to evaluate the association of childhood DM with overall and type-specific early-onset kidney diseases later in life. The population-based matched cohort study included 9356 individuals with DM (T1DM: 8470, T2DM: 886) diagnosed in childhood (< 18 years) who were born between 1977 and 2016, and 93,560 individuals without DM matched on sex and year of birth in Denmark. The main outcomes were overall and type-specific early-onset kidney diseases. The follow-up period of all included participants was from the date of DM diagnosis in the exposure group until the first diagnosis of kidney disease, emigration, or 31 December 2018, whichever came first. During a median follow-up of 13 years, children with DM had a 154% increased risk of early-onset kidney diseases than children without DM (adjusted hazard ratios 2.54, 95% confidence intervals 2.38-2.72), and T1DM (2.48, 2.31-2.67) and T2DM (2.75, 2.28-3.31) showed similar results. Children with DM also had a higher risk of multiple specific kidney diseases including glomerular diseases, renal tubulo-interstitial diseases, renal failure, and urolithiasis. The risks of type-specific kidney diseases including glomerular diseases and renal failure tended to be higher for children with T2DM (glomerular diseases: 5.84, 3.69-9.24; renal failure: 14.77, 8.53-25.59) than those with T1DM (glomerular diseases: 3.14, 2.57-3.83; renal failure: 8.24, 6.66-10.20). Children with DM had a higher increased risk of early-onset overall and specific kidney diseases later in life. Early prevention and treatment of both T1DM and T2DM in childhood may significantly reduce the risk of kidney diseases later in life.
