Impact of Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors in First-Degree Relatives of Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract: This study revealed that the prevalence of MetS is high in young FDR adults, who need urgent preventive treatment, including lifestyle changes. The risk of developing T2DM is five times higher in non-diabetic people with MetS than in those without the syndrome.

“…This may help to establish more widespread screening health camps directed particularly to this high risk population. [33], with 95% confidence level, and a bound of error of ± 8%, the estimated sample size was 367. For sample size calculation for the factors associated with the metabolic syndrome in relatives of type 2 diabetics, the prevalence of risk factors was taken as 50%, using a two sided alpha of 0.05, with range of factors among non-exposed group of 46-100 %, odds ratio of 2, with 80% power.…”

“…This hypothetically places the spouse at a risk for the presence of the metabolic syndrome, irrespective of consanguity. There have been studies looking at the metabolic syndrome in the first degree relatives of type 2 diabetics conducted in Argentina [33] and Iran [34]. However, to our knowledge, no major study in our region of Pakistan has looked at this specifically.…”

“…A greater probability to acquire T2DM was seen among offspring of single diabetic parents and offspring of both diabetic parents compared to those of non-diabetic parents in Framingham population [18,19]. Offsprings of FHD (Family history of diabetes) showed an increased risk in western world [20,21] with an age range of 35-45 year olds except that there are few studies in young asian offspring [22].…”

“…In spite of the presence of many genetic variants that are linked to the risk of developing diabetes, their clinical usefulness to estimate the risk for diabetes in the population is limited. 7,8 Well established risk factors for type 2 diabetes include age, sex, obesity physical inactivity, dyslipidemia and family history. 9 Studies in U.S. population have shown a graded and independent role for the family history as a risk for developing type 2 diabetes.…”
