The aim of this cohort study was to further evaluate the association between ingested inorganic arsenic and the incidence of non-insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus in these villages. A total of 446 nondiabetic residents in these villages were followed biannually by oral glucose tolerance test. Diabetes is defined as a fasting plasma glucose level greater than or equal to 7.8 mmol/L andlor a 2-hr post-load glucose level greater than or equal to 11.1 mmol/L. During the follow-up period of 1499. 5 person -years, 41 cases developed diabetes, showing an overall incidence of 27.4/1,000 person-years. The incidence of diabetes correlated with age , body mass index, and cumulative arsenic exposure. The multivariate- adjusted relative risks were 1.6, 2.3, and 2.1 for age greater than or equal to 55 versus < 55 years, a body mass index greater than or equal to 25 versus < 25 kg/m(2), and a cumulative arsenic exposure greater than or equal to 17 versus < 17 mg/ L-years, respectively. The incidence density ratios (95% confidence intervals) between the hyperendemic villages and the two nonendemic control townships were 3.6 (3.5-3.6), 2.3 (1.1-4.9), 4. 3 (2.4-7.7), and 5.5 (2.2-13.5), respectively, for the age groups of 35-44 , 45-54, 55-64, and 65-74 years. The findings are consistent with our previous cross- sectional observation that ingested inorganic arsenic is diabetogenic in human beings. |
