Family history of diabetes is associated with diabetic foot complications in type 2 diabetes.


ABSTRACT: To investigate the relationship between diabetic foot complications (DFCs) and clinical characteristics, especially the number and types of first-degree family members with diabetes. A total of 8909 type 2 diabetes patients were enrolled. The clinical characteristics of these patients, including DFCs and family history of diabetes (FHD), were collected from medical records. Multiple regression was used to investigate the association between FHD and DFCs after adjusting for confounding factors. The patients with one and more than one first-degree family member with diabetes accounted for 18.7% and 12.8%, respectively. The proportions of the participants with a father with diabetes, a mother with diabetes, both parents with diabetes, siblings with diabetes, father and siblings with diabetes, mother and siblings with diabetes, and both parents and siblings with diabetes were 3.5%, 6.2%, 1.1%, 14.4%, 1.5%, 4%, and 0.7%, respectively. The multiple regression analysis showed that the number of family members with diabetes was positively associated with DFCs. However, among the different types of FHD, only the patients with a mother with diabetes showed a statistical association with DFCs. In addition to FHD, other factors, including gender, body mass index, platelet count, hemoglobin levels, albumin levels, high-density cholesterol levels, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and the use of lipid-lowering agents, oral hypoglycemic agents, and insulin, were also associated with DFCs. DFCs were associated with different numbers of family members with diabetes and types of FHD. This association reveals the importance of genetic and environmental factors in DFCs and highlights the importance of adding FHD to public health strategies targeting detecting and preventing the disease.
