Heritability Estimation and Environmental Risk Assessment for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Rural Region in Henan, China: Family-Based and Case-Control Studies
Objective: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) varies greatly in different regions and populations. This study aims to assess the heritability and environmental risk factors of T2DM among rural Chinese adults.Methods: Thousand five hundred thirty three participants from 499 extended fa...

This study aims to assess the heritability and environmental risk factors of T2DM among rural Chinese adults.Methods: Thousand five hundred thirty three participants from 499 extended families, which included 24 nuclear families, were recruited in the family-based study to assess the heritable risk of T2DM. Heritability of T2DM was estimated by the Falconer method. Using conditional logistic regression model, couple case-control study involving 127 couples were applied to assess the environmental risk factors of T2DM.Results: Compared with the Henan Rural Cohort, T2DM was significantly clustered in the nuclear families (OR: 8.389, 95% CI: 5.537–12.711, P < 0.001) and heritability was 0.74. No association between the heredity of T2DM and sex was observed between the extended families and the Henan Rural Cohort. Besides, results from the couple case-control study showed that physical activity (OR: 0.482, 95% CI: 0.261–0.893, P = 0.020) and fat intake (OR: 3.036, 95% CI: 1.070–8.610, P = 0.037) was associated with T2DM, and the proportion of offspring engaged in medium and high physical activity was higher than that of mothers in mother-offspring pairs.Conclusion: People with a family history of T2DM may have a higher risk of developing T2DM, however, there was no difference in genetic risk between males and females. Adherence to active physical activity and low fat intake can reduce the risk of T2DM.https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2021.690889/fulltype 2 diabetes mellitusheritability and environmentfamily-based studyrural populationrisk assessment |
