Summary: This study examined the prevalence and correlates of pre-diabetes in middle- to older-aged Irish adults using three different methods for diagnosis. The findings revealed discrepancies in prevalence estimates based on the method of diagnosis, highlighting the need for a National Diabetes Prevention Programme and ongoing monitoring of pre-diabetes prevalence to assess intervention effectiveness.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the prevalence and long-term change of prediabetes and unknown diabetes in a large middle-aged urban population. The results showed a high prevalence of prediabetes and unknown diabetes, but a decrease over a 12-year period. This highlights the importance of screening and cardiovascular prevention campaigns.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between antibiotic exposures from different sources and type 2 diabetes in middle-aged and older people through urinary antibiotic biomonitoring. The results showed that antibiotic exposure from sources associated with food and drinking water significantly increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in middle-aged and older adults.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the association between microvascular disease (MVD) and risk of heart failure (HF) among individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The results showed that a heavier burden of MVD was associated with an increased risk of HF, especially in individuals with T1DM.

Summary: This study reports the prevalence and factors contributing to undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Northeastern China. The results show a high proportion of undiagnosed DR, with significant variations in risk factors for undiagnosed non-vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (NVTDR) and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR). Early detection and addressing determinants of undiagnosed DR are crucial.

Summary: This study found that individuals with type 1 diabetes experience accelerated brain aging but without early signs of Alzheimer's disease-related neurodegeneration. The study also discovered that brain aging is associated with reduced cognitive performance.

Summary: This community-based study aimed to estimate the prevalence of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes among hill tribe adults aged 30 years and over, and identify associated factors. The study found that triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were associated with type 2 diabetes.

Summary: This study found that middle-aged and older adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) showed abnormal brain structure compared to control subjects without diabetes. They had smaller total brain volume, gray matter, and white matter volumes, and larger ventricle and white matter hyperintensity volumes. However, there were no differences in total white matter mean fractional anisotropy compared to control subjects. Lower psychomotor and mental efficiency scores were associated with altered brain structure in T1DM participants.

Summary: Higher intake of dietary fiber is significantly associated with lower risk of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus in a middle-aged Chinese population. This association needs to be confirmed in future large-scale prospective studies.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence and geographic variation of obesity-related hypertension among adults aged 45 years or older in China. The results showed a high prevalence of obesity-related hypertension, with 22.7% of the population affected, equivalent to 120 million people. The prevalence of obesity-related hypertension decreased from north to south and from east to west. Female gender, urban residence, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia were positively correlated with obesity-related hypertension.

Summary: The prevalence of diabetes has increased in the United States over the past two decades, with low-income populations being disproportionately affected. This study aimed to examine income-related inequalities in diabetes prevalence and identify contributing factors. Using data from the National Health Interview Survey, the study found that income-related inequalities in diabetes persisted throughout the study period, with a decrease during 2001-2011 and an increase during 2011-2018. Factors such as income, obesity, physical activity levels, and race/ethnicity were important contributors to diabetes inequalities at almost all time points, while changes in age and income explained the changes in diabetes inequalities over time.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between serum TMAO and incident type 2 diabetes in middle-aged and older adults. The results showed that higher serum TMAO levels were associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and elevated fasting glucose.

Summary: This study analyzed differences in the prevalence of prediabetes, undiagnosed diabetes, and diagnosed diabetes, as well as associated factors, among older adults in Brazil and England. The prevalence of diabetes was higher in the Brazilian sample, with different associated factors found in the two samples, which may be related to differences in nutritional transition, access to healthcare services, and the use of such services.
