Does smoking cessation and weight gain affect the risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in postmenopausal women?
Smoking cessation may raise short-term T2DM risk via weight gain in postmenopausal women; leaves open whether targeted prevention alters outcomes in trials.
We used data from the Women's Health Initiative, a large prospective study with detailed information on smoking status, weight changes, and potential confounders, to assess the relationship between smoking cessation, weight gain, and subsequent diabetes risk. We examined diabetes risk by smoking status, including new quitters who smoked at baseline but no longer smoked at the 3-year follow-up visit.
