Inflammatory Markers and Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes in Women

Abstract: We conducted a prospective, nested, case-control study of inflammatory markers as predictors of type 2 diabetes among 32,826 women who provided blood samples in 1989 through 1990 in the Nurses' Health Study. Among women free of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cancer at baseline, 737 had developed diabetes by 2000. Control women (n ‫؍‬ 785) were selected matched on age, fasting status, race, and BMI for cases in the top BMI decile. Baseline levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-␣ receptor 2, interleukin (I… Show more

“…Previous studies, including analyses from the JHS, have observed a positive relationship between hs‐CRP (biomarker of inflammation) and incident diabetes mellitus 13, 29. However, this association was largely explained by measures of obesity including BMI and WC.…”

“…Results suggest that IL-6 and TNF-α-R levels may be more sensitive to dietary fiber intake than hs-CRP levels in postmenopausal women. A growing body of evidence connects inflammation with increased risk for atherosclerosis [1][2][3][4][5][6], type 2 diabetes [11,13], and cancer [14,15], but much less is known about the role of diet in inflammation. Most studies to date have focused on the relationship between hs-CRP and diet as well as other lifestyle variables, however, two previous studies have found that IL-6 and TNF-α levels may be stronger predictors of incident cardiovascular events than hs-CRP level [43,44].…”

“…High sensitivity serum C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), plasma interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor α receptor 2 (TNF-α-R2) are markers of systemic inflammation in the body, and have been associated with many chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease (CHD) [1][2][3][4][5][6], metabolic syndrome [7][8][9], diabetes mellitus [10][11][12][13], and cancer [14,15].…”

“…There is heterogeneity between studies, with some demonstrating an independently positive association of CRP with incident diabetes [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], while others show no association after adjustment for adiposity and insulin resistance [12][13][14][15]. Differences in the association between CRP and diabetes by sex have also been reported [16][17][18].…”
