“…The association between smoking and MetS is controversial. A prospective study by Onat et al found a protective effect against developing MetS of smoking 11 or more cigarettes a day in women 32) . No association was found in a cross-sectional study 31) and a prospective study 25) .…”

“…The findings of the present study are in line with many other studies. In fact, many studies found that current smokers are more likely to have higher WC [26][27][28] values than nonsmokers. However, Berlin et al found that high WC values were less frequent among current smokers [29].…”

Aim. Smoking is a major risk factor for diabetes mellitus, mainly due to decreased insulin secretion and increased insulin resistance. However, there has been little research on the effects of smoking cessation period on changes in insulin resistance. In this study, we investigated the relationships between the length of time since smoking cessation period and insulin resistance in asymptomatic Korean male ex-smokers. Methods. A total of 851 male adults were included in this study. We considered several factors that can affect insulin resistance, and through multiple linear regression analysis, we assessed the effect the length of time since smoking cessation on insulin resistance in ex-smokers. Insulin resistance was represented as the insulin resistance index estimated by homeostasis model assessment. Results. HOMA-IR values showed a statistically significant negative correlation with the length of time since smoking cessation (p = 0 009) in ex-smokers. After performing multiple linear regression analysis using factors that could potentially influence insulin resistance, we found that waist circumference (p = 0 026) and the length of time since smoking cessation (p = 0 039) were independent predictors of HOMA-IR in asymptomatic male ex-smokers. Conclusion. The longer the smoking cessation period, the more the insulin resistance tended to decrease in asymptomatic Korean male ex-smokers.

“…It is indicated that smoking is an independent risk factor for type-2 diabetes and type-2 diabetes development risk increases in smokers (Hu, 2011;Willi et al, 2007). It is specified that smoking may protect the women smoking a lot (11 or more per day) from being overweight and it may be preventive against diabetes and metabolic syndrome in the future (Onat et al, 2007). It is determined that type-2 diabetes risk in smoking people is significantly low.…”

“…In order to prevent type-2 diabetes, at first the risk factors should be determined (Alberti et al, 2007;Kodama et al, 2012;Onat, 2007). Gender, age and ethnicity, family history, living style, smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, waist circumference and obesity are among the important risk factors (Alberti et al, 2007;Hu, 2011;Onat et al, 2006;Salopuro, 2011).…”

“…For diabetes, it is important to determine the individuals at risk without the disease symptoms in terms of maintaining and improving the health (Garduño-Diaz and Khokhar, 2007;Shi, 2011). Since the people-at-risk can be identified at the prediabetic stage of impaired glucose tolerance, it can be possible to prevent diabetes and its complications by taking early stage precautions (Alberti et al, 2007;Onat et al, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the type-2 diabetes risk status of the individuals applying to the internal diseases outpatient clinic and the affecting factors. This descriptive study was conducted on 500 individuals who applied to the internal diseases department of a hospital in Ordu Turkey, between May and June 2010 without diabetes diagnosis. The questionnaire form and Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Form are used to collect the data. For the evaluation of data; independent samples t-test and One-Way Anova are used to evaluate the data. It is determined that the type-2 diabetes risk an score of the individuals participating in the study is 10.4 ± 5.5 and 32.4% of them have low type-2 diabetes risk score, 26.6% have slightly elevated score, 18% have moderate score, 16.6% have high and 6.4% have very high type-2 diabetes risk score. It is found that the type-2 diabetes risk mean score of the women participating in the study who are adults, are married, have low education level, are unemployed, are non-smoker, do not drink alcohol and do not have any information about type-2 diabetes is statistically significantly high (p < 0.05). It is determined that 16.6% of the individuals participating in the study have high type-2 diabetes risk and 6.4% have very high type-2 diabetes risk.
