Patterns of growth among children who later develop type 2 diabetes or its risk factors

TLDR
Low weight gain during infancy increases the risk of IGT and type 2 diabetes and the effect is greater in people who had low birthweight, which may be the most critical period for growth, in relation to development of glucose intolerance.
Abstract
Aims/hypothesis We studied fetal and childhood growth patterns that are associated with IGT and type 2 diabetes in adult life.

Glucose Regulation in Young Adults with Very Low Birth Weight

TL;DR: Young adults with a very low birth weight have higher indexes of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance and higher blood pressure than those born at term and adjustment for the lower lean body mass in the very-low-birth-weight subjects did not attenuate these relationships.

Timing and tempo of first-year rapid growth in relation to cardiovascular and metabolic risk profile in early adulthood

TL;DR: Rapid weight gain during the first 3 months of life resulted in a higher percentage of body fat, more central adiposity, and reduced insulin sensitivity in early adulthood than when slower weight gain occurred during the entire first year.

Transancestral GWAS of alcohol dependence reveals common genetic underpinnings with psychiatric disorders

Raymond K. Walters, +171 more
- 26 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: The largest genome-wide association study to date of DSM-IV-diagnosed AD found loci associated with AD and characterized the relationship between AD and other psychiatric and behavioral outcomes, underscoring the genetic distinction between pathological and nonpathological drinking behaviors.

Homeostasis model assessment : insulin resistance and beta-cell function from fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in man

TL;DR: The correlation of the model's estimates with patient data accords with the hypothesis that basal glucose and insulin interactions are largely determined by a simple feed back loop.

Definition, diagnosis and classification of diabetes mellitus and its complications. Part 1: diagnosis and classification of diabetes mellitus provisional report of a WHO consultation.

TL;DR: A WHO Consultation has taken place in parallel with a report by an American Diabetes Association Expert Committee to re‐examine diagnostic criteria and classification of diabetes mellitus and is hoped that the new classification will allow better classification of individuals and lead to fewer therapeutic misjudgements.

Fetal and infant growth and impaired glucose tolerance at age 64.

TL;DR: Reduced growth in early life is strongly linked with impaired glucose tolerance and non-insulin dependent diabetes and reduced early growth is also related to a raised plasma concentration of 32-33 split proinsulin, which is interpreted as a sign of beta cell dysfunction.

Trajectories of growth among children who have coronary events as adults.

TL;DR: On average, adults who had a coronary event had been small at birth and thin at two years of age and thereafter put on weight rapidly and was associated with insulin resistance in later life.
