Objective: Smoking and Swedish smokeless tobacco (snus) are associated with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our aim was to investigate whether genetic susceptibility to T2D, insulin resistance (IR), and insulin secretion (IS) aggravate these associations. Research design and methods: We used data from two p...

Background Maternal smoking during pregnancy was reported to be associated with a reduced risk of type 1 diabetes in the offspring. We investigated whether this association is consistent with a causal interpretation by accounting for familial (shared genetic and environmental) factors using family-based, quasi-experimental designs. Methods We incl...

Aims/hypotheses Smoking and use of smokeless tobacco (snus) are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether smoking and snus use increase the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and elucidated potential interaction with HLA high-risk genotypes. Methods Analyses were based on Swedish case–control da...

Objectives: Maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with a reduced risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the offspring. We investigated whether this association is consistent with a causal interpretation by accounting for familial (shared genetic and environmental) factors using family-based, quasi-experimental designs. Design: A nationwide, pro...

... Also focusing on the influencing factors on metabolic health, a Swedish nationwide register-based study investigated the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and type 1 diabetes in the offspring [21]. The cohort consisted of nearly three million children born between the years 1983 and 2014, with follow-up until 2020. ...
... To date, lifestyle risk factors are scarcely investigated in LADA, nor is their potential interaction with genetic susceptibility (1). However, we recently observed an increased risk of LADA in smokers and users of Swedish smokeless tobacco (snus), using data from two observational studies and a Mendelian randomization study (4), and the excess risk was comparable to that seen in type 2 diabetes (5). Moreover, smoking was associated with insulin resistance in LADA, which is in line with observations in type 2 diabetes (6). ...
