ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study aims to prospectively examine the association between temperatures and the occurrence of type 2 diabetes (T2D).METHODS:
We used the CPH models to analyze 103,215 non-diabetic participants in the UK Biobank cohort who answered questions about workplace temperature, to evaluate the survival relationship, and the interaction effects of working environmental temperature and T2D-related genetic risk scores (GRS) on the occurrence of T2D. The occurrence of T2D was assessed by hospital inpatient records. The weighted T2D-related GRS were calculated.RESULTS:
During 1,355,200.6 person-years follow-up, a total of 2436 participants were documented as having diagnosed T2D. After adjustment, compared to the comfortable group, the participants working in non-comfortable environmental temperature had greater risk of T2D (HR 1.27, 95â¯%CI 1.04 to 1.55, for cold; HR 1.32, 95â¯%CI 1.17 to 1.48 for hot; HR 1.51, 95â¯%CI 1.38 to 1.65 for alternate). Similarly, individuals exposed to different levels of genetic risk scores in alternating hot and cold work environments had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.CONCLUSIONS:
This study found working in single non-comfortable environmental temperatures was associated with greater risk of T2D occurrence, and exposure to alternating environmental temperatures had the highest risk of range and severity.
