Subphenotypes of adult‐onset diabetes: Data‐driven clustering in the population‐based KORA cohort

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Cohort study

Authors' conclusion

T2D subphenotyping based on its sample's own clinical characteristics leads to stable categorization and adequately reflects T2D heterogeneity.

Study context

Population
Individuals with T2D from the KORA FF4 study (Southern Germany)
Participants
301 individuals
Exposure
Cluster 1 vs Cluster 2 vs Cluster 3
  • Cluster 1n = 96
  • Cluster 2n = 172
  • Cluster 3n = 33
Outcome
Replication of original clusters and de novo T2D subphenotypes
Methodological detailsdata-driven cluster analysis, population-based, k-means clustering
  • Data-driven cluster analysis
  • Population-based
  • K-means clustering

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

De novo clustering with k = 3 including hs-CRP showed high stability: all Jaccard indices

>0.75

Observational data: associations, not effects.
