RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To examine associations of surgical and natural menopause before the age of 40 years with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in women. METHODS: A total of 273,331 women from the United Kingdom were recruited between 2006 and 2010 in the UK Biobank (UKB) study, and 146,343 women aged 40 to 69 years who were postmenopausal at baseline were included in the analysis. Surgical menopause and natural premature menopause were defined as bilateral oophorectomy before the age of 40 and menopause before the age of 40 without oophorectomy, respectively. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between premature menopause and the incidence of T2D. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 10.4 years, 47 women with surgical premature menopause, 244 women with natural premature menopause, and 4724 women without premature menopause developed T2D. Compared with women without premature menopause, both surgical premature menopause (adjusted HR = 1.46, 95 % CI: 1.09-1.95; P = 0.01) and natural premature menopause (adjusted HR = 1.20, 95 % CI: 1.06-1.37; P < 0.01) were associated with higher risks of incident T2D in the multivariable-adjusted models. Additionally, we observed a significant interaction between levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) (Pinteraction < 0.01) and the effects of premature menopause on incident T2D. The association between premature menopause and T2D risk appeared to be stronger in women with higher SHBG levels. Furthermore, a joint association was detected between premature menopause and the genetic risk score (GRS) of T2D, with a higher score indicating a higher risk of developingT2D. The highest risk of T2D was observed with higher T2D GRS and surgical premature menopause (adjusted HR = 2.61, 95 % CI: 1.65-4.12; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Surgical menopause and natural menopause before the age of 40 years were associated with an increased risk of T2D among postmenopausal women. The findings also suggest potential interactions of premature menopause with SHBG levels, with the association appearing to be stronger in higher SHBG levels, as well as a joint association between menopause status and genetic risk factors on T2D incidence.

Objectives: To prospectively explore the association of maternal serum 25(OH)D levels with the infant's gut microbiota in Chinese populations, and to evaluate its potential influence on the dynamic change patterns of offspring's gut microbiota from 1 to 6 months old. Methods: Eighty-seven mother-infant dyads (vitamin D insufficient group vs. normal group = 59 vs. 28) were included in this longitudinal study. Two fecal samples were collected for the included infant at home by the parents at 1 month of age ("M1 phase") and 6 months of age ("M6 phase"). Gut microbiota were profiled by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We performed mixed effects models on alpha diversity metrics, PERMANOVA tests on beta diversity distances, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to identify differently abundant taxa. Results: We observed significantly lower Pielou's evenness and Shannon diversity in the vitamin D insufficient group in the M6 phase (p = 0.049 and 0.015, respectively), but not in the M1 phase (p > 0.05), and the dynamic changes in alpha diversity from 1 to 6 months old were significantly different according to maternal vitamin D status (p < 0.05). There were also significant differences in gut microbiota composition between the vitamin D insufficient group and normal group, both in the M1 and M6 phases (LDA score > 2.0, p < 0.05). Moreover, among the predicted metagenome functions, pathways related to amino acid biosynthesis, starch degradation, and purine nucleotides biosynthesis were enriched in the vitamin D insufficient group. Conclusion: Our findings highlight that maternal vitamin D status plays a pivotal role in shaping the early-life gut microbiota of the next generation.
RESUMO
Objective@#To study the relationship between rs1136410 polymorphism in poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 gene (PARP-1) with obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children and adolescents, and to provide a reference for demonstrating the mechanism of obesity and NAFLD of children and adolescents and making the early prevention strategies.@*Methods@#In total, 2 030 children and adolescents aged 7-18 years old were recruited. Anthropometric measurements were performed. Liver B-ultrasound detection were performed in a subgroup. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TDF MS) was used for genotyping the rs1136410 polymorphism. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between rs1136410 polymorphism and obesity or NAFLD in children and adolescents.@*Results@#Totally, 1 325 subjects were in non-obese group and 705 subjects were in obese group. The frequency of G allele and A allele were 43.86% and 56.14%. After adjusting for gender, age, and study population, the risk of obesity increased by 1.17 times for each additional A allele of rs1136410 polymorphism(OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.02-1.33, P=0.03). And the risk of NAFLD increased by 1.43 times for each additional A allele of rs1136410 polymorphism(OR=1.43, 95%CI=1.11-1.85, P=0.01). After further adjustment for BMI, rs1136410 polymorphism was not associated with NAFLD(P=0.70).@*Conclusion@#The rs1136410 polymorphism in PARP-1 gene is associated with obesity and NAFLD in children and adolescents. The effect of the gene polymorphism on NAFLD is mediated by BMI.
