Type 2 & other diabetes

Plasma metabolite profiles associated with the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research lifestyle score and future risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Metabolomics analysis within the PREDIMED study

Authors' conclusion

In an elderly population at high risk of CVD, a set of metabolites was selected as potential metabolites associated with the HL pattern predicting the risk of T2D and, to a lesser extent, CVD. These results support previous findings that some of these metabolites are inversely associated with the risk of T2D and CVD.

Study context

Population
Individuals at high cardiovascular risk, aged 55–80y, subset of PREDIMED studyPREDIMED subset
Participants
1,833 individuals
Exposure
Metabolite profiles of healthy lifestyle (HL) score and incident T2D and cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Outcome
Association of HL-score metabolite profiles with incidence of T2D and CVD
Methodological detailscross-sectional and prospective cohort, elastic net regression, 10-cross-validation, discovery (baseline) and validation (1-year) samples, multivariable Cox regression, Plasma metabolites by LC-MS/MS; 385 known metabolites

Further findings

1-year metabolomic profile and risk of T2D and CVD

Reduction in risk of T2D maintained and of CVD attenuated with 1-year profile
