Families with high triglycerides face increased risk of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Elevated serum triglycerides are a key marker for developing glucose intolerance and NIDDM in these families.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Endogenous hypertriglyceridemia often clusters within families.
  • Glucose intolerance and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are significant metabolic disorders.
  • Understanding familial predispositions to these conditions is crucial for public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the 10-year incidence of impaired glucose tolerance and NIDDM.
  • To examine these incidences in families with a known clustering of endogenous hypertriglyceridemia.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective population study involving 56 subjects from six pedigrees.
  • Oral glucose tolerance tests and serum lipid/lipoprotein measurements at baseline and after 10 years.
  • Analysis of 47 subjects who completed the 10-year follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Prevalence of glucose intolerance rose from 15% to 49% (P < 0.001) and NIDDM from 2% to 21% (P < 0.001) over 10 years.
  • Individuals with the highest baseline triglycerides showed 76% glucose intolerance at follow-up (vs. 20% with lowest triglycerides).
  • Baseline serum triglycerides independently predicted the development of impaired glucose tolerance and NIDDM.

Conclusions:

  • Families exhibiting hypertriglyceridemia clustering are at a heightened risk for NIDDM.
  • Elevated serum triglycerides serve as a significant risk marker for glucose intolerance and NIDDM within these families.
