Fasting blood glucose was linearly associated with colorectal cancer risk in the population without self-reported diabetes mellitus history.

Abstract

ABSTRACT:

Fasting plasma glucose level was linearly associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. However, the dose-response relationship between fasting blood glucose (FBG) and CRC risk was still uncertain.A total of 11,632 patients without self-reported diabetes mellitus and colorectal polyps' history were identified in the Korean Multicenter Cancer Cohort (1993-2005). The nonlinear relationship was estimated through a restricted cubic spline regression, and a two-piece-wise Cox proportional hazards model was further performed to calculate the threshold effect. Multiple imputation was used to control the bias from missing data.Overall, 1.1% (n = 132) of participants were diagnosed with CRC in the follow-up duration. With a median follow-up duration of 12.0 years, participants with FBG ≥126 mg/dL were associated with higher CRC risk (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01, 2.76). Landmark analyses limited to long-term survivors demonstrated increased CRC risk with FBG ≥ 126 mg/dL in all subsets (≥3years: HR,1.93 (95% CI: 1.13-3.29); ≥5years: HR, 2.04 (95% CI: 1.-3.63); ≥10years: HR, 2.50 (95% CI: 1.19-5.25)). With FBG smoothly increasing before, the latter increased dramatically after the turning point (P for nonlinearity = 0.283). When FBG was increasing per mmol/L, HR was 1.07(95% CI: 0.90, 1.29) for FBG < 126 mg/dL and 1.27 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.53) for FBG ≥ 126 mg/dL. Besides, HR was 1.09 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.16) for the CRC risk.In the population without self-reported diabetes mellitus and colorectal polyps' history. FBG was linearly associated with CRC risk, especially for FBG over 126 mg/dL.
