Childhood maltreatment and the risk of impaired glucose metabolism or type 2 diabetes in young adults
We examined the associations between childhood maltreatment and the risk of impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) in young adults aged 18-35. Participants ( N = 8506) from the Lifelines Cohort Study without IGM or diabetes at baseline (2007-2013) were included. Childhood maltreatment was assessed by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and incident IGM/T2D was assessed by haemoglobin A 1c levels (≥5.7%) in 2014-2017. Ther…

This study tested if habit strength for taking oral hypoglycemic medication moderated the association between poor mental health symptoms (i.e. depressive symptoms, diabetes distress) and unintentional non-adherence in 790 adults with type 2 diabetes. Data were cross-sectional. A habit strength × depressive symptom interaction was observed. Depressive symptoms were negatively associated with adherence if habit was weak or of average strength; no …
Development of a Tool to Measure Women's Agency in India
Ensuring and expanding women’s agency is an essential component of efforts to promote the rights and well-being of women. However, inadequate measurement hampers monitoring and research into achieving this goal. In this study, we developed a theory-based measurement tool of women’s agency. We developed a conceptual model of agency through a review of the literature, and then used this model to identify potential indicators of agency. These indica…

Association of C-Reactive Protein With Metabolic Syndrome and Depressive Symptoms in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
Introduction The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors comprised of elevated fasting plasma glucose and insulin resistance, central obesity, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypertension. Depression is a common co-morbidity in individuals with metabolic syndrome. Inflammatory mechanisms have been suggested to be involved in depression and metabolic syndrome. C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute…
P2-94 Types of smokers, depression and disability in type 2 diabetes
Despite the detrimental effects of smoking on health, a high number of adults with type 2 diabetes continue to smoke. Identifying distinct profiles of smokers could help tailor smoking intervention programs in this population and may help uncover high risk subgroups with unfavourable health outcomes. This study examined whether smokers with type 2 diabetes could be classified into different profiles based on socioeconomic characteristics, smoking…
