Abstract Clinical observations have linked tobacco smoking with increased type 2 diabetes risk. Mendelian randomization analysis has recently suggested smoking may be a causal risk factor for type 2 diabetes. However, this association could be mediated by additional risk factors correlated with smoking behavior, which have not been investigated. We hypothesized that body mass index (BMI) could help to explain the association between smoking and diabetes risk. First, we confirmed that genetic determinants of smoking initiation increased risk for type 2 diabetes (OR 1.21, 95% CI: 1.15–1.27, P = 1 × 10−12) and coronary artery disease (CAD; OR 1.21, 95% CI: 1.16–1.26, P = 2 × 10−20). Additionally, 2-fold increased smoking risk was positively associated with increased BMI (~0.8 kg/m2, 95% CI: 0.54–0.98 kg/m2, P = 1.8 × 10−11). Multivariable Mendelian randomization analyses showed that BMI accounted for nearly all the risk smoking exerted on type 2 diabetes (OR 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01–1.11, P = 0.03). In contrast, the independent effect of smoking on increased CAD risk persisted (OR 1.12, 95% CI: 1.08–1.17, P = 3 × 10−8). Causal mediation analyses agreed with these estimates. Furthermore, analysis using individual-level data from the Million Veteran Program independently replicated the association of smoking behavior with CAD (OR 1.24, 95% CI: 1.12–1.37, P = 2 × 10−5), but not type 2 diabetes (OR 0.98, 95% CI: 0.89–1.08, P = 0.69), after controlling for BMI. Our findings support a model whereby genetic determinants of smoking increase type 2 diabetes risk indirectly through their relationship with obesity. Smokers should be advised to stop smoking to limit type 2 diabetes and CAD risk. Therapeutic efforts should consider pathophysiology relating smoking and obesity.

Abstract ObjectivesTo investigate the roles of cardiometabolic factors (including blood pressure, blood lipids, thyroid function, body mass, and insulin sensitivity) in mediating the causal effect of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. DesignTwo-step, two-sample multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) study.SettingInternational genome-wide association study (GWAS) consortia data.ExposureT2DM, blood pressure: systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP); blood lipids: low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG); thyroid function: hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism; body mass index (BMI), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), and insulin sensitivity. Main outcomesCVD including coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.MethodsSummary-level data for exposures and main outcomes were extracted from GWAS consortia. We used two-sample MR to illustrate the causal effect of T2DM on CVD subtypes and regression-based MVMR to quantify the possible mediation effects of cardiometabolic factors on CVD.ResultsEach additional unit of log odds of T2DM increased 16% risk of CHD [OR: 1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12-1.21], 15% risk of MI (OR: 1.15, 95%CI: 1.10-1.20), and 10% risk of stroke (OR: 1.10, 95%CI: 1.06-1.13). In mediation analysis, SBP, DBP and TG were found as main mediators, while the mediation effects of other cardiometabolic factors were not significant. The proportion of total effect of T2DM on CHD mediated by SBP, DBP and TG was 16% (95%CI: 8%-24%), 7% (95%CI: 1%-13%) and 10% (95%CI: 2%-18%), respectively. Mediation effect of SBP and DBP on MI and stroke, TG on MI was also prominent, while mediation effect of TG on stroke was not significant. Combined mediation effect of all three mediators accounted for 29%, 26% and 13% of total effect of T2DM on CHD, MI and stroke, respectively.ConclusionSBP, DBP and TG mediate a substantial proportion of the causal effect of T2DM on CVD and thus interventions on these factors might reduce considerable excess risk of CVD among T2DM patients.

ABSTRACT: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE AND HDL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS IN ARAFAH CLINIC, CENTRAL LAMPUNG Background: Hypertension is a major risk factor for type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, hypertension can make cells insensitive to insulin, so blood sugar levels can also be disrupted. Dyslipidemia causes constriction in blood vessels or atherosclerosis which can aggravate hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Meanwhile, the function of HDL in transporting bad cholesterol also causes blood vessels to dilate due to increased NO production. Objective: To find out the relationship between systolic blood pressure and HDL cholesterol levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Arafah Clinic, Central Lampung, 2020. Method: This type of research used in this research is descriptive-analytic with cross-sectional design. The sampling technique was total sampling. Respondents in this study were patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at the Arafah Clinic in Central Lampung in 2020 Results: Based on the results of the chi-square statistical test, it was found that there was no relationship with the results of p = 0.898 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: There is no correlation between systolic blood pressure and HDL cholesterol levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at the Arafah Clinic, Central Lampung in 2020. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus type 2, Systolic Blood Pressure, HDL   INTISARI: HUBUNGAN TEKANAN DARAH SISTOLIK DENGAN KADAR KOLESTEROL HDL PADA PASIEN DIABETES MELLITUS TIPE 2 DI KLINIK ARAFAH LAMPUNG TENGAH Latar Belakang: Hipertensi merupakan faktor risiko utama untuk terjadinya Diabetes Melitus tipe 2, hipertensi dapat membuat sel tidak sensitif terhadap insulin, maka kadar gula di dalam darah juga dapat mengalami gangguan. Dislipidimia menyebabkan terjadinya penyempitan dalam pembuluh darah atau aterosklerosis yang dapat memperberat kondisi hipertensi ataupun diabetes mellitus. Sedangkan fungsi HDL mengangkut kolesterol jahat juga menyebabkan pembuluh darah bisa berdilatasi karena produksi NO yang meningkat.Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui Hubungan Antara Tekanan Darah Sistolik dengan Kadar HDL Kolesterol pada pasien Diabetes Melitus tipe 2 di Klinik Arafah Lampung Tengah Tahun 2020.Metode: Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Teknik pengambilan sampel berupa total sampling. Responden dalam penelitian ini adalah pasien Diabetes Melitus tipe 2 di Klinik Arafah Lampung Tengah.Hasil: Berdasarkan hasil uji statistic chi-square didapatkan tidak terdapat hubungan dengan hasil p=0,898 (p>0,05).Kesimpulan: Tidak terdapat Hubungan Antara Tekanan Darah Sistolik dengan Kadar HDL Kolesterol pada pasien Diabetes Melitus tipe 2 di Klinik Arafah Lampung Tengah tahun 2020. Kata Kunci     : Diabetes Melitus tipe 2, Tekanan Darah Sistolik, HDL
