Association of Ego and Alter Risk Factors for T2D with Incident Ego T2D, Stratified by Ego T2D Genetic Risk Score

Low genetic risk score* High genetic risk score*
Characteristic OR (95 % CI) p value OR (95 % CI) p value
Ego age 1.07 (1.04, 1.10) < 0.0001 1.05 (1.03, 1.07) < 0.0001
Ego sex 1.65 (1.01, 2.68) 0.04 1.30 (0.93, 1.82) 0.13
Ego parental history 2.79 (1.69, 4.58) < 0.0001 2.62 (1.83, 3.76) < 0.0001
Ego obesity (t−1) 4.34 (2.71, 6.95) < 0.0001 4.41 (3.08, 6.32) < 0.0001
Alter obesity (t−1) 0.96 (0.71, 1.30) 0.79 1.34 (1.10, 1.64) 0.004
Alter diabetes (t−1) 1.22 (0.76, 1.96) 0.40 1.35 (1.02, 1.77) 0.03

Model: Outcome is incident ego T2D at a given exam (time t); primary exposures are alter obesity at the prior exam (time t−1) and alter T2D at the prior exam (time t−1), adjusting for ego age, sex, parental T2D history, ego obesity at the prior exam (time t−1), and ego network size

Abbreviations: OR Odds Ratio; 95 % CI 95 % Confidence Interval

p values are from multivariable generalized estimating equations applied to a binary outcome (T2D)

*Low T2D genetic risk score was defined as < 66.9 (the median GRS), and high genetic risk score was defined as ≥ 66.9
