Abstract

Background Family history (FamH) of type 2 diabetes might indicate shared genotypes, environments, and/or behaviors. We hypothesize that FamH interacts with unhealthy behaviors to increase the risk of early onset of diabetes and poor cardiometabolic control. Methods In a cross-sectional analysis of the prospective Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation Register including patients from 427 clinics in 11 Asian countries/regions in 2007-2021, we defined positive FamH as affected parents/siblings and self-management as (1) healthy lifestyles (balanced diet, non-use of alcohol and tobacco, regular physical activity) and (2) regular self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Results Among 86,931 patients with type 2 diabetes (mean +/- SD age: 56.6 +/- 11.6 years; age at diagnosis of diabetes: 49.8 +/- 10.5 years), the prevalence of FamH ranged from 39.1% to 85.3% in different areas with FamH affecting mother being most common (32.5%). The FamH group (n=51,705; 59.5%) was diagnosed 4.6 years earlier than the non-FamH group mean (95% CI): 47.9 (47.8-48.0) vs. 52.5 (52.4-52.6), logrank p<0.001]. In the FamH group, patients with both parents affected had the earliest age at diagnosis 44.6 (44.5-44.8)], followed by affected single parent 47.7 (47.6-47.8)] and affected siblings only 51.5 (51.3-51.7), logrank p<0.001]. The FamH plus >= 2 healthy lifestyle group had similar age at diagnosis 48.2 (48.1-48.3)] as the non-FamH plus <2 healthy lifestyle group 50.1 (49.8-50.5)]. The FamH group with affected parents had higher odds of hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia than the FamH group with affected siblings, with the lowest odds in the non-FamH group. Self-management (healthy lifestyles plus SMBG) was associated with higher odds of attaining HbA(1c)<7%, blood pressure<130/80mmHg, and LDL-C<2.6 mmol/L especially in the FamH group (FamHxself-management, p(interaction)=0.050-0.001). Conclusions In Asia, FamH was common and associated with young age of diagnosis which might be delayed by healthy lifestyle while self management was associated with better control of cardiometabolic risk factors especially in those with FamH.
