“…A family history of type 2 diabetes was associated with an increased perceived risk of developing type 2 diabetes ( 21 , 28 , 32 , 42 , 45–47 ), but this had no effect on the perceived seriousness of the disease ( 48 ). Genetic risk though did not correlate with the perception of developing diabetes during the lifetime.…”

“…In the diversity of hereditary risk, ethnic risk perception is therefore very different from the risk in one’s own family and when the salience of diabetes arouses the desire to make a change in lifestyle. However, Joiner et al ( 42 ) brought up that there were no statistically significant associations between ethnicity and perceived risk for diabetes. But in adjusted analyses, there were some differences, and Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Black were associated with a higher likelihood of reporting no perceived risk of type 2 diabetes compared to Non-Hispanic White.…”

IntroductionA family history is impacting the individual’s risk perception. The objective of this systematic review was to describe inherited risk perceptions of type 2 diabetes from the citizen’s viewpoint. The aim was to summarize and increase understanding so that the increased knowledge could be used effectively in type 2 diabetes risk communication in health care.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review using CINAHL, Medline, and Scopus databases for hereditary, risk, perception, and diabetes related concepts, within the date range of 1.1.2017 to 2.8.2022. Eligible articles were English, peer-reviewed, and addressed the research question: how is hereditary risk of type 2 diabetes perceived? Returns were viewed independently by two authors, and evaluated using the appraisal criteria of the Joanna Briggs Institute. A thematic analysis was used for the synthesis of the data, yielding three themes describing perceptions of inherited risk in type 2 diabetes.ResultsA total of 32 articles were included, of which 23 were quantitative, 5 qualitative, and 4 were mixed-methods studies. The extracted themes were (1) Identifying heredity as a risk factor, (2) Diversity of hereditary risk, and (3) Perception of the magnitude of personal risk.DiscussionThe perception towards hereditary risk can vary from a desire to actively make a lifestyle change, to the view that diabetes is inevitable regardless of lifestyle. A positive family history increases the risk perception of type 2 diabetes, but the perceived magnitude of the risk may vary from person to person. The findings have the potential to be applied in healthcare’s risk communication.
