Highlights

• Dairy intake was inversely associated with the risks of certain chronic metabolic diseases
• The dairy optimal intake ranges in prevention of certain chronic metabolic diseases were different among young, middle-age and old participants.

Highlights

• Ten single nucleotide polymorphisms were found to be associated with diabetes risk.
• There were significant associations of diabetes genetic risk scores and weighted diabetes genetic risk scores with fasting plasma glucose and diabetes.

Highlights

• Rs10830963 in melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) may serve as a potential biomarker for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk in a Chinese population.
• Compared with women with a family history of diabetes, rs7936247 was especially associated with GDM risk among pregnant women without a family history of diabetes.
• Genotype-phenotype associations indicated that rs10830963 and rs7936247 may contribute to GDM risk by affecting expression levels of nearby or distant genes.

Highlights

• This study investigated the risk of 23 common types of cancer among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using the largest sample size in mainland China.
• Increased risks were noted for 11 types of cancer in males with T2D and 13 types of cancer in females with T2D.

Highlights

• Resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with an increased risk of prevalent metabolic syndrome (MetS) and elevated 10-year predicted risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.
• The association between RHR and prevalent MetS was more prominent in individuals without known cardiometabolic risk factors for MetS.

Highlights

• Liver scoring indices were significantly elevated in women with gestational diabetes 9 to 16 years after the index pregnancy.
• Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were higher and liver fat percentage was greater in women with than without gestational diabetes.
• Women with gestational diabetes may be at a higher risk for liver fat accumulation, regardless of and prior to the development of overt diabetes later in life.
