Social network and development of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in middle-aged Swedish women and men

摘要: Abstract Aim Explore if social network affects development of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Methods Individuals with normal glucose tolerance at baseline, 2924 women 2039 men, aged 35–56 years, were followed-up 8–10 years later by an oral test. Prediabetes diabetes was then evident in 168 50 236 93 respectively. Measures (AVSI-index (availability integration), civil status participation activities), recorded questionnaire evaluated logistic regression. Results Having AVSI scores the highest tertile associated a decreased risk to develop (age-adjusted odds ratio 0.41 [95% CI: 0.19–0.88]) less significant after full adjustment (0.50 [0.22–1.16]). Contrary, men increased (1.93 [1.03–3.60]) adjustment. Participation activities women, 0.65 [0.46–0.91] 0.43 [0.24–0.77], respectively), when adjusted for confounders (0.78 [0.54–1.12] 0.59 [0.31–1.13]). In observed (0.59 [0.43–0.82] multi-adjusted model). Being married or living partner only (0.57 [0.33–0.97] 0.61 [0.34–1.08] age- models, respectively). Conclusions having seemed likely abnormal regulation. Contradictory overall protective pattern network, high AVSI-index
