Article Synopsis
- A lifestyle intervention can effectively lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) in individuals at high genetic risk, while the impact on those with low genetic risk is less clear.
- In a study involving 973 middle-aged men, participants were divided into groups based on genetic risk and received a three-year intervention focusing on diet and exercise.
- Findings indicated that the intervention significantly reduced T2D risk for those with high genetic risk, while it did not show a significant effect for the low-risk group, suggesting that lifestyle changes can be beneficial for high-risk individuals.
Purpose: Hyperglycemia is affected by lifestyle and genetic factors. We investigated if dietary patterns associate with glycemia in individuals with high or low genetic risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: Men (n = 1577, 51-81 years) without T2D from the Metabolic Syndrome in Men (METSIM) cohort filled a food-frequency questionnaire and participated in a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the pharyngeal airway size in different cranio-cervical postures in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and asymptomatic control children. We tested the hypothesis that the site of the most constricted pharyngeal airway in SDB children is not affected by head posture.
Methods: The study group comprised 29 children (14 boys, 15 girls, mean age 7.
Objective. To evaluate spectral heart rate (HR) variation using short-term ECG recordings at rest and during the tilt table test. Methods.

Materials And Methods: The study participants were 36 prepubertal children (19 male, 17 female; mean age 7.3 ± 1.
