Abstract
AIMS: Disparities persist on the prevalence of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in racial/ethnic minorities in the USA. This study evaluated the association between BMI and incident type 2 diabetes risk by racial/ethnic group, to determine whether BMI and presence of type 2 diabetes risk factors may help clinicians better target type 2 diabetes screening. METHODS: This prospective cohort analysis included 5659 adults free of type 2 diabetes at baseline from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a population-based cohort (2000-2011). BMI was measured at baseline and time-updated at subsequent visits. Incident type 2 diabetes was defined as fasting glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/l, or use of any diabetes medications. RESULTS: The mean (sd) age was 62 (10) years and 42% of participants were white, 26% African American, 20% Hispanic and 12% Chinese American. During follow-up, 696 (12%) new type 2 diabetes cases were observed. In age- and sex-adjusted models, in the presence of one or more type 2 diabetes risk factors (the most common scenario), a 10% risk of incident type 2 diabetes was observed at a BMI of 21.7 kg/m2 [95% confidence interval (CI) 20.1 to 22.8] in Chinese Americans, 23.8 kg/m2 (22.7 to 24.9) in Hispanics, 24.7 kg/m2 (23.7 to 25.6) in African Americans and 26.2 kg/m2 (25.1 to 26.9) in white participants. CONCLUSIONS: This study supports including BMI and presence of type 2 diabetes risk factors as action points for clinicians to prioritize which adults aged ≥ 45 years should be screened. The application of race/ethnicity-specific BMI thresholds may reduce the disparity of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes observed in minority groups.
