TLDR
C cigarette smoking may be an independent, modifiable risk factor for noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and a significant dose-response trend for higher risk among heavier smokers is observed.Abstract:
OBJECTIVES. Noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is prevalent in more than 12 million Americans. A voluminous amount of data demonstrates that cigarette smoking is an important cause of cancer and coronary heart disease. However, the association between cigarette smoking and the risk of diabetes is virtually unexplored, especially in women. METHODS. We examined the association between smoking and the incidence of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus among 114,247 female nurses who were free of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer in 1976. We collected exposure information and disease status prospectively for 12 years from biennially self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS. Current smokers had an increased risk of diabetes, and we observed a significant dose-response trend for higher risk among heavier smokers. During 1,277,589 person-years of follow-up, 2333 women were clinically diagnosed with diabetes. The relative risk of diabetes, adjusted...read more

Dietary Fiber, Glycemic Load, and Risk of Non—insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus in Women
Jorge Salmerón,JoAnn E. Manson,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,Alvin L. Wing,Walter C. Willett +5 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that diets with a high glycemic load and a low cereal fiber content increase risk of diabetes in women is supported and grains should be consumed in a minimally refined form to reduce the incidence of diabetes.
Active Smoking and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
TL;DR: A systematic review with meta-analysis of studies assessing the association between active smoking and incidence of type 2 diabetes was conducted by as discussed by the authors, which yielded 25 prospective cohort studies that reported 45 844 incident cases of diabetes during a study followup period ranging from 5 to 30 years.

Active Smoking and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
TL;DR: Active smoking is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and future research should attempt to establish whether this association is causal and to clarify its mechanisms.

Consequences of smoking for body weight, body fat distribution, and insulin resistance
TL;DR: Evaluating the relations among smoking, body weight, body fat distribution, and insulin resistance found that nicotine increases energy expenditure and could reduce appetite may explain why smokers tend to have lower body weight than do nonsmokers and why smoking cessation is frequently followed by weight gain.

TL;DR: Advanced maternal age, family history of diabetes mellitus, nonwhite ethnicity, higher BMI, weight gain in early adulthood, and cigarette smoking predict increased GDM risk.

Impact of obesity on metabolism in men and women. Importance of regional adipose tissue distribution.
TL;DR: In both obese and nonobese subjects, regional differences exist between the sexes with regard to adipose tissue distribution and men and women with a male abdominal type of obesity are more susceptible to the effect of excess body fat on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.

TL;DR: The results indicate that physical activity may be a promising approach to the primary prevention of NIDDM, and risk reduction with exercise was evident among both obese and nonobese women.

TL;DR: Results from a prospective study strongly support previous cross-sectional findings indicating that not only the degree of obesity but also the localization of fat is a risk factor for diabetes.

Weight as a risk factor for clinical diabetes in women

TL;DR: Weight gain after age 18 was a major determinant of risk and the relation between body mass index and risk of diabetes is continuous, indicating that, at even average weight, women are at increased risk of clinical non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

The Assessment of Alcohol Consumption by a Simple Self-administered Questionnaire
Edward Glovannucci,Graham A. Colditz,Meir J. Stampfer,Eric B. Rimm,Lisa B. Litin,Laura Sampson,Walter C. Willett +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that a simple self-administered questionnaire can provide useful estimates of alcohol intake over an extended period of time in subjects participating in prospective epidemiologic studies.
