This research aims to investigate the influence of parental diabetes on the risk of type 2 diabetes and glucose intolerance in offspring.
Analyzed data from 2,527 offspring of 1,303 families over a 20-year period.
Defined parental diabetes by hypoglycemic therapy or plasma glucose levels above specific thresholds.
Calculated odds ratios using generalized estimating equations to determine associations between parent and offspring glucose tolerance.
Offspring with maternal diabetes had an age-adjusted OR of 3.4 (95% CI 2.3-4.9) for type 2 diabetes.
Individuals with bilineal diabetes showed the highest risk with an OR of 6.1 (95% CI 2.9-13.0) for diabetes.
Maternal diabetes, particularly with an onset age <50 years, significantly increased risks for both diabetes (OR 9.7, 95% CI 4.3-22.0) and abnormal glucose tolerance (OR 9.0, 95% CI 4.2-19.7).
