Summary: This study investigated the association between glycemic variability and the incidence of depression in Koreans without diabetes. The results showed that greater visit-to-visit glycemic variability was associated with an increased risk of developing depression in people without diabetes, while maintaining steady fasting serum glucose levels may reduce the risk of incident depression.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between oGTT performed after 28 weeks and the risk of T2DM. The results showed that late oGTT had lower rates of GDM and T2DM. However, once GDM was diagnosed, regardless of oGTT timing, the risk of T2DM was increased.

Summary: In this study, higher insulin resistance was found to be associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality over a period of 3.5 decades. Specifically, the Mcauley index was independently associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality in adult men and women without diabetes, while other insulin sensitivity indices did not show a statistically significant association.

Summary: A large population-based cohort study in Sweden found that high-risk prostate cancer patients have significantly higher long-term relative rates of major depression and death by suicide. The increase in relative depression is lower among patients treated with radiation or surgery, while the relative risk of suicide death is higher only among patients treated solely with androgen deprivation therapy.

Summary: In this cross-sectional study, greater relative grip strength was associated with a lower prevalence of T2DM independent of BMI in Korean adults. Further research is needed to determine if a causal relationship exists between relative grip strength and T2DM prevalence considering BMI.

Summary: There is conflicting evidence regarding the association between metformin treatment and prostate cancer risk in diabetic men. Previous-year exposure to metformin is positively associated with prostate cancer risk, while exposure 2-7 years ago is negatively associated with risk. Further confirmation and understanding of these positive and negative associations are needed.

Summary: This study investigated the association between diabetes and different prediabetic states as independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF). The results showed a significant association between glycemic status and AF in all groups except the impaired glucose tolerance group. However, this association disappeared after controlling for potential confounders.

Summary: The study found that firearm owners with alcohol-related charges have a higher risk of suicide and firearm suicide, especially those with recent charges or multiple charges. In contrast, there was no significant association between drug-related charges and suicide risk, or between a combination of alcohol and drug charges and suicide risk.

Summary: The first therapeutic use of insulin in 1921 revolutionized diabetes management and significantly improved the lives of patients. Despite significant pharmacological advances, challenges such as increasing treatment flexibility, reducing iatrogenic hypoglycemia, and optimizing patient quality of life remain. Ongoing innovations in insulin therapy aim to overcome these hurdles and change the landscape of diabetes management.

Summary: The results of the glucose challenge test (GCT) during pregnancy are associated with the future risk of diabetes, and the GCT results are equivalent to the diagnosis of prediabetes based on postpartum A1c measurement. For women with gestational diabetes (GDM), the GCT results can also predict the risk of future diabetes.

Summary: This study investigated the association between socioeconomic neighbourhood disadvantage, population density, and adherence to dietary recommendations. The findings showed that cumulative neighbourhood disadvantage was associated with slightly weaker adherence, while higher population density was associated with better adherence to dietary recommendations. These associations remained significant even after controlling for other factors.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between resting heart rate (RHR) and the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes. The results showed that participants with higher RHR had a significantly higher prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes, and this association was stronger among younger and leaner individuals. Therefore, RHR can be used as an indicator to identify and prevent undiagnosed diabetes.

Summary: This study identified 205 independent risk associations for colorectal cancer through a genome-wide association study meta-analysis. Transcriptome and methylome analysis further revealed 53 risk associations. These findings provide insights into the genetic and molecular mechanisms of colorectal oncogenesis and suggest potential targets for new treatment and prevention strategies.

Summary: This study quantified the occurrence of depression and suicide in retired athletes compared to the general population. The results showed that former boxers, Olympic-style wrestlers, and soccer players did not have statistically higher rates of major depressive disorder or suicide. Retired soccer players had a lower rate of depression and former American football players had a lower risk of suicide compared to the control groups.

Summary: This study compares the prediction performance of machine learning-based undiagnosed diabetes prediction models and traditional statistics-based prediction models. The results show that the machine learning-based models have higher AUC values when using features such as sex, age, and waist circumference. Similarly, when additional features including family history of diabetes, hypertension, alcohol consumption, and smoking status are included, the machine learning-based models still outperform the traditional statistics-based models. The study concludes that machine learning-based prediction models using anthropometric and lifestyle measurements may be more accurate in predicting undiagnosed diabetes.

Summary: The increasing number of people with dementia globally highlights the urgent need to reduce its scale and impact. Lifetime social participation may play a crucial role in reducing dementia risk and could have implications for individual behavior and public health policy. However, more research is needed to fully understand the causal relationship.
