RESUMO
AIM: To determine the 10-year cumulative incidence of high depressive symptoms in people with diagnosed and, in particular, previously undetected diabetes compared to those without diabetes in a population-based cohort study in Germany. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included 2813 participants (52.9% men, mean age (SD) 58.9 (7.7) years, 7.1% diagnosed diabetes, 5.6% previously undetected diabetes) from the Heinz Nixdorf Recall study. We calculated the odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using multiple logistic regression analyses for diagnosed and undetected diabetes. RESULTS: Cumulative 10-year incidences (95%-CI) of high depressive symptoms in participants with diagnosed diabetes, previously undetected diabetes, and without diabetes were 15.4% (10.7-21.2), 10.1% (5.9-15.9), and 12.4% (11.1-13.8), respectively. Age-sex-adjusted ORs were 1.51 (1.01-2.28) in participants with diagnosed diabetes compared to those without, 1.40 (0.92-2.12) after adjustment for BMI, physical activity, education, and smoking, and 1.33 (0.87-2.02) after further adjustment for stroke and myocardial infarction. ORs in participants with previously undetected diabetes were 0.96 (0.56-1.65), 0.85 (0.49-1.47), and 0.85 (0.49-1.48), respectively, and lower in men than in women. CONCLUSION: As expected, we found an increased odds of developing high depressive symptoms in participants with diagnosed diabetes. However, the odds ratios decreased when we considered comorbidities and other covariates. Interestingly, in participants with previously undetected diabetes, the odds was not increased, even 10 years after detection of diabetes. These results support the hypothesis that high depressive symptoms develop due to diabetes-related burdens and comorbidities and not due to hyperglycemia or hyperinsulinemia.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Diet is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes. Here, we aim to identify dietary patterns and to investigate their association with prediabetes, undetected diabetes and prevalent diabetes. METHODS: The present study included 1305 participants of the cross-sectional population-based KORA FF4 study. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measurements together with a physician-confirmed diagnosis allowed for an accurate categorization of the participants according to their glucose tolerance status into normal glucose tolerance (n = 698), prediabetes (n = 459), undetected diabetes (n = 49), and prevalent diabetes (n = 99). Dietary patterns were identified through principal component analysis followed by hierarchical clustering. The association between dietary patterns and glucose tolerance status was investigated using multinomial logistic regression models. RESULTS: A Prudent pattern, characterized by high consumption of vegetables, fruits, wholegrains and dairy products, and a Western pattern, characterized by high consumption of red and processed meat, alcoholic beverages, refined grains and sugar-sweetened beverages, were identified. Participants following the Western pattern had significantly higher chances of having prediabetes (odds ratio [OR] 1.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35, 2.73), undetected diabetes (OR 10.12; 95% CI 4.19, 24.43) or prevalent diabetes (OR 3.51; 95% CI 1.85, 6.67), compared to participants following the Prudent pattern. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, the present study is one of the few investigating the association between dietary patterns and prediabetes or undetected diabetes. The use of a reference group exclusively including participants with normal glucose tolerance might explain the strong associations observed in our study. These results suggest a very important role of dietary habits in the prevention of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global public health epidemic. Diet and lifestyle changes have been demonstrated as effective measures in managing T2DM and preventing or delaying the progression from prediabetes to diabetes, yet the relationship between diet, prediabetes and diabetes is still not entirely clear. The present study aimed to further elucidate the relationship between diet, diabetes and especially prediabetes. A total of 1542 participants of the cross-sectional, population-based Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) FF4 study (2013/2014) were included in this analysis. Dietary intake was derived using a method combining information from a FFQ and repeated 24-h food lists. Glucose tolerance status was assessed via oral glucose tolerance tests in all participants without a previous physician-confirmed diagnosis of T2DM, and was classified according to the 2003 American Diabetes Association criteria. Crude and fully adjusted multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to examine associations between diet and prediabetes, undetected diabetes mellitus (UDM) and prevalent T2DM. After adjusting for major covariates, fruit was significantly inversely and total meat, processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages and moderate alcohol significantly associated with UDM and/or prevalent diabetes. Sex-specific analyses showed that in men, coffee was significantly inversely (OR 0·80; 95 % CI 0·67, 0·96) and heavy alcohol significantly (OR 1·84; 95 % CI 1·14, 2·95) associated with prediabetes. Our findings on diet and T2DM are consistent with current literature, while our results regarding coffee, heavy alcohol consumption and prediabetes highlight new possible targets for primary prevention of the derangement of glucose homeostasis.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Undiagnosed diabetes can create significant management issues for seniors. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of two diabetes risk surveys-the Canadian Diabetes Risk Assessment Questionnaire (CANRISK) and the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC)-to identify elevated blood glucose levels in seniors. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in senior living facilities in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Those with known diabetes, without capacity, considered frail, or unable to communicate in English were excluded. Participants completed the CANRISK and FINDRISC surveys and had their glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measured. Correlations between seniors with elevated risk on the surveys and an HbA1c value of 6.5% or higher or 6.0% and higher were assessed. RESULTS: In this study, 290 residents participated; their mean age was 84.3 ± 7.3 years, 82 (28%) were men, and their mean HbA1c level was 5.7% ± 0.4%. Mean CANRISK score was 29.4 ± 8.0, and of the 254 (88%) considered to be moderate or high risk, 10 (4%) had an HbA1c level of 6.5% or higher and 49 (19%) had an HbA1c level of 6.0% or higher. Mean FINDRISC score was 10.8 ± 4.2, and of the 58 (20%) considered to be high or very high risk, 4 (7%) had an HbA1c level of 6.5% or higher and 15 (26%) had an HbA1c level of 6.0% or higher. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was 0.57 (95% confidence interval 0.42-0.72) for the CANRISK survey identifying participants with an HbA1c level of 6.5% or higher and 0.59 (95% confidence interval 0.51-0.67) for identifying participants with an HbA1c level of 6.0% or higher. Similar characteristics were observed for the FINDRISC survey. CONCLUSIONS: In this group of seniors with no known diabetes history, mean HbA1c level approximated that in the general population and neither survey effectively identified those with elevated blood glucose levels. These findings should be confirmed in a larger study; nevertheless, routine use of these surveys as a diabetes screening strategy does not appear to be warranted at this time.
