Incidence of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) and Type 2 Diabetes in Relation to Tobacco Use and Genetic Susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes and Related Traits: Findings From a Swedish Case-Control Study and the Norwegian HUNT Study

Diabetes CarePublished Pooled analysis of a population-based case-control study and a cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Tobacco use may confer a higher risk of LADA in individuals with genetic susceptibility to T2D and insulin resistance, whereas genetic susceptibility does not seem to influence the increased T2D incidence associated with tobacco use.

Study context

Population
Two population-based Scandinavian studies: LADA cases, T2D cases, matched controls; 1,696,503 person-years at risk1,696,503 person-years · LADA cases 839 · T2D cases 5,771 · matched controls 3,068
Comparison
Tobacco use and genetic risk scores: interaction on LADA and T2D risk
Outcome
Incidence of LADA and T2D by tobacco use and GRS; additive (AP) and multiplicative interaction
Methodological detailsmatched control subjects, Swedish case-control study and Norwegian HUNT study
  • Matched control subjects
  • Swedish case-control study and Norwegian HUNT study

Multiplicative interaction, tobacco × IR-GRS
P = 0.034

Further pooled results

Excess risk conferred by tobacco use did not differ across GRS categories in T2D
